É preciso analisar estes novos aparelhos com atenção.
Aparentemente isto promete bastante. Tenho acompanhado um tópico no UKAPs e todas as expectativas são altas.
Muita gente reticente mas toda a gente que exprimentou, gostou.
Para quem ter plantados a sério com o minimo de trabalho, deve dar alguma atenção a isto.
Podem mandar bocas, etc, mas creio que isto vai ser um aparelho que vai dar que falar nos próximos tempos (para "pros" e mais azarados com algas).
Há um feedback do Viktor Lantos, no tal tópico que referi, sobre a utilização do aparelho. Leitura interessante: --- 3 thing which was a major improvement on the first test. 1. water clarity - we had issues before with this 2. stone algae issues 3 plants algae issues We could handle them without the device for sure. But Clarity was a problem only in this tank. None of our others. Maybe the 2075 filtration power was not enough on this tank or the filter bacteria just not performed well. Maybe a little oxygen would have helped on this, but we used Eheim skim to add in oxygen. Frequent water changes etc before and after 3-4 days the cloudiness comes back. Stone algae issue. We usually clean these dragons in every 4-6 weeks. But this is a clay kind of stone and whenever you brush it it is damaging etc. Also almost impossible to clean off the holes. Neritina and Otocinclus just not helping with this. Or they would needed in a large group if you use this much light. With 2-3 snails and 5 otociclus this just not worked. algae was quicker. Plant algae issues. Sure with other maintenance tasks this would be clean too. But it would take weeks to eliminate all issues and in that timeframe you need to put in a lot of energy and time. Lets say use a hose to suck down the carpet and the tennellus many times. Trimming down the infected leaf and taking care that the new leaf will look healthy. Meanwhile also need to remove the HC carpet to clean the soil under that (because of BGA) and plant it back or need to inject carbo several times to the soil and see if that helps and not burn your HC field at the same time. So as you see you can do almost anything. And your tank will get back on track, but it is time consuming and frustration. We only changed water and used the fertilizers the same way as before. On my test 2 i also see similar effects but seiryu stones are cleaning up much slower at all. But i am not touching the stone or cleaning Twinstar in the remaining 2-3 days til i complete the 1 month test. As i see from other users they also have similar experiences. Clear water, less issue with algae, less maintenance. So i guess the point is that to use less chemicals less algae eaters and change your maintenance routine a bit if you have such an "assistant" with you. ---
