One of my oldest tanks being almost abandoned to its fate, still manages to keep going with minimal care. The simulation of a South-East Asian small river bank, 6 years after its last depiction.<br />

For the sake of its hardy inhabitants <a href="https://aqua.scvphotoideas.com/2017/07/zebra-loach-botia-striata-and-twin.html" rel="nofollow">Zebra Loaches and Twin-Band Loaches</a> the aquarium was recently serviced and cleaned. Due to dimmed fluorescent tubes Cryptocorynes prevailed. After changing the Highlite tubes some more plants were added to give some color contrast, together with a school of <a href="https://aqua.scvphotoideas.com/2017/08/harlequin-rasbora-trigonostigma.html">Harlequin Rasboras</a> to get the aquarium into life again.<br />

<br />
A short reference to one of the many automated aquarium top-off systems I have built, comprised of easy to find components and maybe some not so easy ones. :)<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The aquarium top-off system has naturally a water tank and communicates with the aquarium via a 12/16 mm hose, equipped with a Fluval double shut-off valve so the water tank is easily removed for cleaning, a water non-return valve so aquarium water doesn't get sucked back and a U pipe to be attached on the aquarium glass.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Reservoir Tank</span><br />
<br />
A food grade non-toxic plastic container with screw on lid was chosen for the role of the reservoir tank. A closed reservoir does not allow water evaporation inside the aquarium cabinet where it is supposed to be hidden.<br />
Nonetheless a small air valve was installed on the lid to allow for air suction while the water is pumped to the aquarium.<br />
Special holes had to be opened for the water hose, the power cable as well as one low on the side for the water level sensor.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pRh4gIcDVNY/WbqiaODzLgI/AAAAAAAAhzs/NKykYm1ip4E01ZdVXQcv7HE72h3fS6MbQCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_0583.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="DIY Aquarium Top-Off plastic reservoir tank" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pRh4gIcDVNY/WbqiaODzLgI/AAAAAAAAhzs/NKykYm1ip4E01ZdVXQcv7HE72h3fS6MbQCKgBGAs/s640/IMG_0583.JPG" title="DIY Aquarium Top-Off plastic reservoir tank" width="426" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Pump</span><br />
<br />
A low power 12V DC Bilge Pump was chosen to send water up to the aquarium. Somehow this one has a quite high pumping capacity of 400 G/h or 1500 L/h. which in turn requires a more powerful AC to DC adapter since it is rated at 3A.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The AC/DC Adapter and Water Level Controller.</span><br />
<br />
A massive 3A 220-240V AC to 12V DC adapter was chosen as the base. The adapter housing offered ample space for the water level controller circuit, the connectors and LED lights.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">AC/DC adapter with water level controller connected.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
The Water Level controller works with 3 Stainless Steel sensors deepen in the aquarium, operating as neutral, minimum and maximum level.<br />
There is a 4th contact available for those that would like a Ground contact for stray currents in the aquarium.<br />
Sockets for the water tank level sensor and pump power are on either side with their relevant LED lights.<br />
The power switch has double action as it can shut off the circuit completely, stay in auto or force operation of the pump overriding the water level controller circuit.<br />

A UV sterilization unit operated for a minimum of six hours per day offers a drastic way to minimize bacterial and algae blumes<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The JEBO UV-H9 uses a 9W PL UV lamp and is intended for aquariums from 45 to 150 Gallons, i.e. from 170 to 565 Liters.<br />
Best results for the maximum aquarium volumes are met with up to 600 Lt /h water flow.<br />

<br />
JBL's CO2 reactor is one of the best passive reactors that do not require an extra pump do dissolve CO2. It comes as 10 ring basic unit with an extra 5 ring extension. The extension is preferable when the GH is high in your aquarium or when a not strong enough current passes by the reactor. The extra path for the CO2 bubbles lets them dissolve better. It also serves for larger aquariums that need more CO2 bubbles i.e. 120 b/min and above.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">JBL Permanent Test CO2 Plus PH</span><br />
<br />
JBL has a more advanced CO2 indicator than most competitors. This is also based in osmosis and color change to indicate the CO2 level in your aquarium but has specific grades for the CO2 content according the PH levels since it is relevant to the KH.<br />

<br />
The tiny aquarium dimensions are 27 (L) X 14 (W) X 21 (H) cm allowing for very little aquascaping.<br />
The substrate consists of 1 cm JBL Aquabasis Plus, next 2-3 cm beige neutral quartz sand and small black publes with a few black stones.<br />
A small driftwood is glued on the rear glass with silicone.<br />
The rear glass is covered with a black film oiled and taped on the outer surface.<br />

The filter media in the small compartment, start with a coarse sponge for mechanical filtration, Seachem Denitrate for biological filtration.<br />
Denitrate was chosen instead of Seachem Matrix due to its smaller grain, that would give better results in the slow flow of filter.<br />

Since the late Takashi Amano introduced them to the aquarium scaping finding them in Ogasawara islands they are best known with either the name Amano Shrimp or Caridina Japonica because of their Japanese origins. However the species is also met in Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands (between the Philippine and East China seas), Fiji and elsewhere.<br />

Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish are mid level schooling fish with glittering color shades under the appropriate aquarium lighting.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
When the water parameters are good, the male fish bring out their reddish shades at the tip of their fins and tail. Their colors are emphasized when lighted on the side of their body.<br />

Dwarf Rainbowfish although larger in size, proved a little less brave than Harlequins and like to school together with other groups feeling more safe in greater numbers.<br />

Harlequin Rasbora are great little schooling fish that I love to include in South East Asian biotopic aquaria.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Their constant movement and fearless character (in doubt of many calling them timid) prove indispensable for bringing an aquarium alive.<br />
They add color and act as dither fish for more shy or cautious fish like loaches for example.<br />

Papillon Alife 2550 is a mid sized ceramic CO2 diffusor intended for aquariums up to 250 lt.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
It is made of acrylic body with a plastic cap which keeps the in place the repalceable ceramic disk via an O-ring.<br />
My intervention was to add a similar acrylic non-return check valve just before the diffusor enabling to add a little water inside the body enhancing its use as a bubble counter as well.<br />

<br />
Ario 4 is the largest and strongest of all Ario series water aerators made by the well known Italian aquatic pump and accessories manufacturer Hydor.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The Ario pump is equipped with a special impeller that breaks the air in tiny spray-like bubbles allowing it to stay longer into the water aiding diffusion. Something common in protein skimmers for marine aquariums.<br />
It is designed to be installed either under the gravel or on the glass walls of the aquarium using the specialized base for the pump.<br />
The pump intake is protected by a small sponge, and an acrylic disk protects the impeller from gravel bits entering its chamber.<br />
<br />

Nevertheless, noise of the air is transferred trough the air tube outside the aquarium and the tiny sponge in the intake regulator is not enough to muffle it. Therefore, the yellow container pictured in my illustrations was designed to act as a muffler and air purifier with the addition of wool and some active carbon pellets.<br />
<br />
My test have proven that Ario series of pumps can well be used as CO2 diffusers with good results. The impeller breaks the CO2 bubbles into spray and after reversing the acrylic cover of the impeller, it acts as a small dome which engages the CO2 to be diffused for longer time.<br />

The Ario 4 model is capable of delivering 70 to 200 lt of air per hour at a depth of 50 cm which appropriates it for aquarium from 150 to 300 lt.<br />

<br />
Of course if you intend to use it as a CO2 diffusor, since CO2 is pressurized the installation depth is not critical.<br />
<br />
However, there are a couple of things about the design to consider.<br />
First if you use sand or very fine gravel as a substrate and have fish that are active at the bottom of the aquarium, like Corydoras or Loaches, then avoid installing the Ario pumps in the bottom, because inevitably sand will enter the impeller chamber.<br />
And second the intake sponge needs cleaning very often, otherwise it clogs and water flow is reduced dramatically.<br />

Gembird is a Programmable Surge Protection device with 4 programmable AC outlets and two more switched by the main rocker on/off switch.<br />
Programming is effected through PC software and USB or Bluetooth connection to the controlling PC.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Each programmable outlet has an indicator light of on/off status. Programming of individual outlets is possible concerning turning it on or off at specific time schedules and repetition at specific intervals in hours, days months.<br />

<br />
Although the device was initially intended for office use, in order to control PC peripherals, it is very well suited for aquarium use.<br />
It can control with its on/off timers and schedules the aquarium lights, wave pumps and other devices.<br />
<br />
The Gembird syncs time with the controlling PC upon connection, while it retains its programs after disconnection.<br />

Although the patented priming device is theoretically good, in practice the air-pump is very weak making it a very slow process. Therefore, it is more preferable to follow the all time classic "suck on the outlet pipe" method to prime the filter.<br />

UP CO2 Regulator Pro has an integrated Output pressure manometer as well as an integrated Solenoid valve and a precision needle valve. It is accompanied by an adapter for standard CO2 cylinder valves.<br />
The regulator has pre-set external pressure at 1 bar and its solenoid valve has low power consumption operating at low temperature, therefore low heat emissions.<br />

<br />
Having had used the Dennerle Crystal line complete nano kit as well as identical Chinese Check Valve and Bubble counter clones made of glass to my frustration, I decided that the only good part in the set was the glass diffuser. The glass check valve never worked well, flooding both the bubble counter and the check valve chambers.<br />
<br />
Therefore a less sophisticated by a lot safer solution was adopted in this part. A plastic tube with non-return CO2 valve and a suction holder 16 mm.<br />

This package contains the Enaly OZX-300U ozone generator, a small manual, 1.8 m of silicone tube 4/6 mm, a JBL green long Air Stone for aquarium use and a DIY Air Dehumidifier.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The Enaly OZX-300U by spec can generate 200-300 mg O3 / hr via air pushed by the integral air pump through an anode - cathode metal tube at a rate of 2-3 lt / min<br />
<br />
This model is perfect for maintaining a high ORP in reef tanks or tanks with species demanding high oxygen concentration.<br />
Nevertheless, Ozone in the proper dosage can always be a good disinfectant as well.<br />
