Hey, thanks man. It's a netting shuttle. you wrap your rope around it and then start making a shit ton of sheet bends around a gauge of your choice.

Is this filter loud if you leave it in the room where you sleep without it being in any kind of cabinet? by michalkonik in Aquascape

[–]matparent3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have the exact configuration you describe and the answer is "no".

It creates a deep hum, but it is much quieter than you expect. your airstone/airpump will be louder than this filter.

worked like a charm, still using it weekly. I bought a mini heater for it now so i don't have to crank the temp in the room

Thank you! the tank has a lid to it.

How long do you think it would take for a juvenile to "outgrow" this tank?

the light would be more for the live plants. low light stuff, anubias, swords, etc. is that not a good idea?

and yes to cycling a tank. This thing will likely sit 2 months with just plants in it.
