hello everyone welcome to hobbiest fish keeper I am will and today's video is
going to be an unboxing a review and a test of the open solutions can gone back
600 H oh I've said in the past I'm a big avocate of all upon solutions
they're really good quality and they don't break the bank and they work
perfectly fine as long as you are setting them up correctly I see quite a
lot of videos and comments that things don't work as good as what they should
do I'd say eight times out of ten people
aren't setting them all properly and anyway on with the unboxing so it is the
600 hang on back filter just pop that down there for now you know it looks
like I'm breaking everything so we have the main hand gone back head it has a
detachable top it has two sponge filters in their black sponge filters there are
two cartridge filters in here as well with some filter floss on there so they
pop in the back and then you've got your up pipe which
because I'm they're quite snug which is always good when it comes to pipe work
I'm in a snug fit what did I drop on the flop so we have the main intake that
clips onto there as well with the guard on the bottom so you don't suck out your
fish and I'm presuming this oh there we go is a surface skimmer on the side yep
there we go floating service skimmer drop-in
everything today let's get one of these cartridges in
oh so it's got filter floss on both sides and I'm presuming that is carbon
on the inside whose human it slides up like that
it's like this out so it's easy to slide that one in push the foam down nice and
snug was easy so I'm going to finish setting this up and then the way I'm
going to test it is I'm going to pop it onto this tank which you can see behind
me which is extremely cloudy that's because I've put some aquarium sand in
the bottom and I didn't clean it normally when you put in any kind of
substrate you put it in a bucket and you run water through it until the water
goes pretty much clear now for the purposes of this test I dumped the Sun
then filled up with water we're going to put this on the side of it and we're
going to time to see how long it takes for it to be as clear as this one anyway
on with the testing just before I pop this onto the tank I've just noticed
there's a bit of a void in here I don't know that you can see that on the camera
there is going to be water sat in there so you could technically put some more
media in there you could put some ceramic buy all rings in there possibly
or some other kind of filter media that could quite easily fit in the pocket
with media you get the better filtration then so yeah a little tip if you're
going to buy one put some more media in it dr. Gordon so there we go
hung gone back or hand on side in this case he's now working the surface
skimmer floats up quite nicely and the noise that you can actually hear is
actually from my pump which is doing the other sponge filters on all the other
tanks so this is quiet as a mouse I barely hear the water trickling that's
great so it is 1:00 p.m. and the okay at the moment as you can see we
have a very cloudy chunk I'm gonna keep checking on this every hour hour and a
half see how clear it goes stick with me okay everyone so it's about 7:30 in the
morning as you can see what's that 7:30 I sit up
at 12 o'clock yesterday so 18 at 18 and a half I was 19 I was sorry still
half-asleep what you saw out of state was before so in less than 24 hours
it's got it pretty clear to be honest it is quiet as a mouse
I was going to put a sponge filter on this but I think I'm just going to leave
this on there the floor is quite nice on it it's
deadly silent yeah hand gone back up on solutions 600 hate show probably say
turnout would say no no it will go 9 out with 10 cause it's not perfect it's not
got a UV light on it but yeah 9 out of 10 why'd you want 4 lessons when he quit
and thanks for joining me I'm half asleep and I'm going to go for
a coffee I'll speak to you soon
