Lol @Vleis Visagie

Still weighing up my options, not sure between a doser or pump dispenser bottles daily as at the moment waterchanges are not keeping up

Im too scared to test Not keeping up with which parameter? KH, that is my bigest concern.... I do 16.6% (5l) every 3days

 

[jameshr]

Yep, kH

Ok so I got hold of some of those pump dispenser bottles, will follow up on using them in the near future.

For now, anyone know an option to upgrade the return nozzle/plumbing on these tanks? I believe a slightly more 'open' nozzle would allow a little more flow through

 

[Vleis Visagie]

There are some nice ones. Even ones that spin....

Let me check the names, I know @Atilla can get them for you....

VITAL FLOW NANO

 

[jameshr]

Thanks @Vleis Visagie! Scared they will decrease flow though?

That is another thing yes, but there are diff makes, there one that opens uo but dont spin...

 

[Atilla]

We have them in stock. Drop me a PM

Little update

Awesome little pico. Very colourful. This tank would work perfect in my bedroom. Ever grow tired of this setup, I call first dibs keep up the good work

 

[Vleis Visagie]

It looks great my vriend.... Geeeeezzzzzz

 

[jameshr]

So the last upgrade I want to make on this tank is adding a better return nozzle. I would love a variable flow one such as the spin stream (provided it doesn't decrease too much water flow) however they don't seem to be available in the country. Any recommendations or suggestions?

@Vleis Visagie the one you showed above looks great but I doubt it will fit through the return hole on the nuvo 10, and may also be a bit close to the water level. Do you still have the stock return setup on your tank?

I am still rolling with the stock duckbell nozzle.. But I ASLO want more random flow. I ordered me a ripoff of the IM Spinflow on Alixpress, gonna be a while before ots here but itll come, i hope. I thinks its called a 360deg spin nozzle.

Im also looking at maybe just adding a JEbao SW2, they seem pretty small.

Edit: Pic

Ok so I’m now very fed up with the stock nozzle on the nuvo 10...

Took it off today and the flow increases dramatically, only issue is that it’s too near the water’s surface so cause splashing.

Anyone know if I can get a standard 45 degree elbow that will fit into the outlet on the tank? Think it’s 10 or 12mm ?

 

[jameshr]

Thoughts on the new light?

Loooks great

 

[Vleis Visagie]

Soooooo my 15% wc every 3days didnt keep up. LUL. KH sitting at 5.6. FML...

Any updates here?

 

[jameshr]

@Vleis Visagie maybe throw some Kh buffer in your topup water?
I’ve added a piece of Fiji rock, other than that not much. I’ll post pics when I’m home this weekend!

Yeah gonna mix some Kalkwasser tonight

 

[jameshr]

Good idea, just watch out not to topup too much at once then
