The Equipment Behind the Sanctuary Tanks Revealed & Explained

Welcome back to the Sanctuary.
In today’s video I walk through the core hardware I use across my aquariums and share practical advice for choosing the right equipment for your own setup. This is a simple honest overview of what I am running right now. Real gear real experience and lessons learned along the way.

Whether you are building your first planted tank or refining an established aquascape understanding your hardware helps you create a stable healthy system. Here is what we explore.

Lighting Chihiros WRGB Series

Chihiros WRGB II 60
Chihiros WRGB II LED 90cm 10th Anniversary

I break down why spectrum matters more than raw brightness how to match light strength to plant choice and tips for avoiding algae while keeping colours rich.

Filtration Oase Biomaster Range

Oase Biomaster 250
Oase Biomaster 850

I cover what to look for in a filter including flow rate media capacity and maintenance access and share my experience using these canisters across different tank sizes.

CO₂ Systems and Regulators

Strideways PRO CO2 Regulator Plus – Dual Stage
CO2Art PRO SE Series Regulator

We talk about why a dual stage regulator is important how to size your CO₂ system sensibly and common mistakes that lead to unstable injection.

Glassware and Accessories

I show the glass lily pipes diffusers and other small pieces of kit currently running on the Sanctuary tanks and explain how each choice affects flow CO₂ distribution and overall aesthetics.
