you can cover it with electrical tape in the colour you want. My tank has a black background and I used black electrical tape on my tunze overflow - it works.

if you don't have a spring you can fill it up with sand. eheim canister filters have these u-returns. you can order them as spares.

The output nozzle on my stream ph is 2" (diameter). Haven't been to a hardware store lately but I recall seeing some large pipes so I'm sure we could find something large enough to use as the nozzle. bear in mind these ph's are big! rotating the whole stream ph with the tunze bracket may be...

have you thought of making one for the tunze stream pumps? strong flow with wide sweeps across the AQ - that would be fantastic! i was thinking of installing a rotating Jet-Nozzle in front of the stream like the Rat. Will definitely try this out myself!

No, I don't think he did it to avoid possible syphons because the pipe is actually higher than the bulkhead (you can't really see it in the picture). It just terminates in the air, no connected directly to the bulkhead. If the pumps switches off, by the time the water level reaches the...

mini refugium: place a short length of PVC pipe (about 6 inches) on the sandbed behind the rocks to hide it. the idea is to create an area of low flow. in time, the pipe wiil be crawling with copepods inside. fish however will swim through, so make sure the diameter of the pipe is small. or...

what are the dimensions of your tank?

i'm shifting to my new appartment soon and using this opportunity to upgrade to a larger tank (250g). the problem is that the building is from the turn of the century and has wooden floors. i'm quite leary of subjecting the floor to that much stress. i've read other posts on this topic. I have...
