SLIP.7 setup for chaeto only (saltwater), overflow fed.


slip.7 setup vid thumb - chaeto only overflow fed.JPG


Using the overflow from a nano display, to feed into the top of the SLIP.7 which slips down into the back of nano AIO back compartment sumps.

Not shown is the GEM5 black shade screen inside.

Dimensions:

9 inches tall (23 cm)
3 1/2 inches wide (9 cm)
1 3/4 inches thick (4.5 cm)

Also, a small block of black filter foam could be added at the botton to catch any chaeto particles, and to block all remaining light out of the bottom.

SLIP.7 setup for chaeto with bubbles, bottom fed



Neat trick for saltwater: Grow chaeto first, then turn on air bubbles to grow slime, GHA, or cyano on the chaeto, then harvest all of it together.

Use a small water pump and air pump for the bottom of the SLIP.7 which then slips down into the back of nano AIO back compartment sumps.

Dimensions:
9 inches tall (23 cm)
3 1/2 inches wide (9 cm)
1 3/4 inches thick (4.5 cm)

Not shown is the GEM5 black shade screen inside.

Here is an initial growth sequence from a new SLIP.7 that looks to be in bubble-upflow mode. Photo 1 shows the screen's light blocker on the same side as the light, to block the strong light from the GEM5 light from overpowering the new growth. In photo 2, 3, and 4 the screen is reversed in the black top tray, so all the light can reach the screen.

thinking of getting this, does the setup for waterfall only, bottom fed get water fed with a small pump or is it being fed with ambient water movement?
