Pimp My Filter #86 - Aquael Hypermax 4500 Canister Filter Upgrade

Whoa...best filter ever???? Aquael website: https://www.aquael.com/ Aquael Hypermax 4500 video (Aquaman Aquatics):    • Aquael Hypermax, UKs first unboxing and re...   00:00 Intro 01:35 Top of filter and pre-filter 04:40 Looking inside the filter 08:00 Recommended set up 14:36 A few more figures 16:28 Tank size recommendations 18:00 The competition 20:49 Cost and availability 23:03 Intake pipes 23:37 The state of the aquarium hobby 26:43 Turning down Faustian pacts This is for sure an awesome filter which will take the place of 2 x FX6 filters as far as flow and how much media is contained in the filter (easily 10kg) - That makes it suitable for normally stocked tanks up to 1000 litres (263 US gallons) or heavily stocked tanks of up to 500 litres (132 US gallons) if you're expecting to achieve a full cycle (reduction in nitrate) when using the Biohome Ultimate. The one negative I've noticed is that the supplied pipes are all cut to around 1.5m (5 feet) long so you may have to extend some of the pipes if you are wanting to have the inlets and outlets at different sides of the tank. If you're using a spray bar on one outlet and a standard outlet on the other that should not be a problem but ideally the two intakes would be at different sides of the tank to reduce the chance of dead spots. The pipe is readily available from good aquatic stores so it's not a huge problem but some extra length on the supplied pipes would have been nice. Is there a better filter available? Have you used this filter? please let others know in the comment section - thanks for watching.

When bacteria is starved the population will be low as it grows in line with the available 'food'. A normal conditioner will allow the bacteria to fully populate the whole system and take away the 'need' to add more bacteria after maintenance / water change. Most people get conned into regularly using bacteria additives and that is simply to mask the side effects from a damaging conditioner and a failing filter. A normal conditioner like Tapsafe, Aquasafe, API Stress Coat etc. is all you need when a tank is properly set up, a filter is suitably sized (and properly set up) and Nature is allowed to so what Nature does.* See below for notes on how much media is recommended for different stocking scenarios. The Q&A page of the FilterPro site has extensive notes on recommended treatments and how filtration works.

Therefore it requires a suitable amount of excellent quality filter media to be able to provide the environment for both aerobic AND anaerobic bacteria - that is what Biohome filter media does perfectly but even with such good media there are limitations and we recommend the following amounts for different stocking scenarios: (1 US Gallon = 3.8 litres) (1kg = 2.2 lbs) Average community tropical aquarium = 1kg per 100 litres Average coldwater aquarium = 1kg - 1.5kg per 100 litres Predator aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres Large cichlid aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres Malawi / Tanganyikan aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres Marine aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres Average mixed fish pond = 1kg per 200 litres Average koi pond = 1kg per 150 litres RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS ON AMAZON: https://goo.gl/jMaBWy INSTAGRAM:   / pondguru_outdoors   Some of the links above may be to my affiliate programs on Amazon and Ebay so they will throw a few pennies my way if you make a purchase - it costs you nothing extra and helps towards keeping the lights on in my bunker.
