Review on Xiaomi Geometry Fish Tank Aquaponics Ecosystem C180 Standart Set - 8L Aquarium with Soil, Filter, and Cover - White by Anastazja Socha ᠌

You should not start it if you are a beginner aquarist. Maintaining a normal balance will be extremely difficult. Plus, when changing the water, the fish will be more stressed than in a large aquarium, because here, in order to maintain a normal pH / NO2 / NO3, a fairly large amount of water has to be replaced weekly. If we talk about the shortcomings of this particular model: 1. The design of the compressor is not thought out. It's good that food remains accumulate in it and you have to constantly disassemble and clean it, and even a small filter in the form of a gauze layer does not allow the compressor to work. I haven’t seen it on the Internet, but from my own experience I can say that if your air stops flowing, then you need to disassemble the entire structure with tubes, pull out the plastic part from the spout to which the air hose is attached, and clean all parts from food debris. If the engineers made the plastic part, to which all the tubes are connected, a single design, it would be easier. And so the plastic pin from the air hose is inserted into the spout. When the smallest parts of food / plants get in, the flow from the spout is blocked - it's time to clean everything. 2. The air flow does not go up, but along the entire aquarium. Not all fish like this constant current. 3. Automatic kromushka (bought on Ali) is quickly covered with mold. You can’t keep track, you can poison all the fish (I removed it from sin and feed it by hand). I compare between this product and a 60 liter aquarium from a well-known German brand - heaven and earth. With that, there are many times fewer problems and the balance is adjusted quite quickly.
