Hiya,

I have the Pro 3 2080 on a large discus tank. The clarity and water quality is excellent but the noise ( drone ) is driving me insane.

Done all the usual checks : trapped air, kinks/obstructions in the pipework,
overloaded media, ill fitting baskets, faulty impeller/shaft, impeller housing ...

I use crypts, anubias, and java fern none of them need much light and are doing well at 29۟°C

Just seen these on ebay (item # 280216251784), they seem a good price, I paid more than this in my local garden center for mine.

Nice looking setup amazing what a difference a few plants can make, I am sure your zebs will love it

I will introduce some green shrimp (Caridina babaulti ), they get to 3cm and can tolerate 29C, I am waiting for them to grow they are currently 1.5 - 2cm, I did have 20 2cm cherry shrimp but the adult zebs mashed the lot.
In the mean time I will use the vac

Picture was taken with ...

Hello and welcome.

Very nice setup. :D
Thank you
It is nice to know that the tank has positive feedback, I plan to alter it a bit when I add more fish. I will create a terrace with caves in the wall of the terrace and more caves on the second level.
I will post pictures when done
Thanks again ...

I researched the set-up by lurking on this and every other forum I could find. I should be getting a few more fish later this month so will have to buy some more ...
