Equipment Gap Audit
Check the aquarium you actually own, explain each gap and move only missing essentials into the customer-controlled basket.
Connected knowledge journey
One result should lead to the next useful action.
These routes adapt to the active aquarium and saved records instead of leaving customers at a dead end.
How Stonehouse stays trustworthy: tools organise evidence and highlight risks; they do not replace exact manufacturer instructions, specialist diagnosis, responsible sourcing or species-specific research.
Interactive aquarium planner
Plan the right equipment route for your aquarium.
This is not one generic shopping list. System type changes the life-support requirements, experience changes the level of control, and budget changes where to use simplicity, adjustability or redundancy.
How choices are used: Beginner prioritises simple servicing and clear safeguards. Experienced unlocks modular control and diagnosis. Premium adds resilience only where it solves a real failure risk.
Your tailored outline will appear here.
Choose the aquarium, volume, experience and budget. The result will explain what changed, what is essential now and what can wait.
Planning boundary: figures are cautious comparison ranges, not a promise that a product or livestock choice is suitable. Confirm actual flow after head loss, manufacturer instructions, room temperature, adult stocking, aquascape, water chemistry and electrical safety before purchase.
Aquarium Doctor
Troubleshooting built around the actual case.
Record the symptom, timeline, affected animals, visible signs, recent changes and measured conditions. The response changes according to the evidence entered.
Safety boundary: this is structured triage, not a disease diagnosis. Severe breathing distress, poisoning, rapid losses, major tissue damage or electrical danger require urgent specialist or aquatic-veterinary support.
No case assessed yet
The result will contain urgency, immediate actions, likely cause categories, next checks, cautions and evidence to collect.
Maintenance Centre
A proper care system for every aquarium.
Choose a tank, install a routine, learn how every job should be performed and keep a dated completion history. Frequencies are starting points—not fixed rules.

Evidence-led reviews
Reviews with aquarium context—not just stars.
Stonehouse reviews are designed to show where, how and for how long a product was used, helping hobbyists judge relevance to their own aquarium.
Important guidance notice:
Aquarium conditions, individual animals and equipment installations vary. Double-check key information against current manufacturer instructions and reputable specialist sources, and seek qualified aquatic or veterinary advice where welfare, disease, electrical safety or an unusual situation is involved.

Product Compare
Compare the evidence—not just the product name.
This page compares three buying routes for organising filter media. It separates what Stonehouse has physically prototyped from what still needs production confirmation, and shows customers the questions that matter before spending money.
✓ Documented: shown in the prototype journal◇ Pending: must be confirmed before release↗ External: defined by manufacturer or seller— Variable: cannot be assumed across products
| Decision point | Stonehouse Bioflow M | Original media arrangement | Generic caddy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Prototype removable media-layer organiser for the named filter route. | Use the aquarium/filter maker's intended media arrangement. | Third-party organiser; design and intended use vary. |
| Fit certainty | ◇ Exact release dimensions and compatible models remain gated. | ↗ Confirm from the original manufacturer for the exact model. | — Check the seller's written dimensions and model list. |
| Media access | ✓ Removable layers are visible in the documented prototype. | ↗ Depends on the original basket, sponge and media layout. | — Depends on the actual caddy design. |
| Configuration | ✓ Modular arrangement explored; final supplied media is not yet announced. | ↗ Manufacturer-defined and may be model-specific. | — Often customer-defined; instructions and safe loading vary. |
| Evidence available | ✓ Dated prototype, installation, 24-hour and Day 7 journal evidence. | ↗ Manufacturer manuals and retailer information. | — Seller listing, reviews and any test evidence supplied. |
| Maintenance route | ◇ Final cleaning and replacement instructions required before sale. | ↗ Follow the original manufacturer schedule and instructions. | — Confirm access, cleaning and media-retention instructions. |
| Support route | ◇ Planned Stonehouse model/photo pre-purchase check. | ↗ Manufacturer or authorised retailer route. | — Depends on seller identity and after-sales policy. |
| Spares and warranty | ◇ Terms, spares and remedy route must be published before launch. | ↗ Check the maker's current UK terms. | — Check seller terms; do not assume filter warranty compatibility. |
| Price | ◇ No price shown until production and commerce are confirmed. | ↗ Varies by model and retailer. | — Varies by seller and included parts. |
| Best fit for | Customers who value documented development and a clear support route once released. | Customers who prefer the original documented configuration. | Customers able to verify fit, materials, instructions and support independently. |
| Main limitation today | Not yet released; compatibility and commercial claims remain blocked. | May offer less configuration flexibility, depending on the model. | Evidence quality and after-sales consistency can vary significantly. |
Claim boundary: no unsupported capacity, flow, durability, biological performance, compatibility, warranty or value claim is made. “Prototype” does not mean “ready for sale”. Production specifications, written terms and release checks must pass first.
Which route may suit you?
Use the reason—not a winner badge.
Consider Stonehouse Bioflow M if…
You want removable-layer organisation, documented development and Stonehouse support—and are willing to wait for the exact model, dimensions, instructions and price to be released.
Keep the original arrangement if…
You want to follow the filter manufacturer's documented configuration, or cannot yet verify that a change preserves safe fit, flow and warranty conditions.
Consider a generic caddy if…
The seller provides exact dimensions, material information, usable instructions and a credible UK after-sales route for your specific installation.
Before buying any media organiser
Seven checks worth making.
- Exact filter and aquarium model
- Written internal and external dimensions
- Safe water path and bypass risk
- Media retention and removal access
- Cleaning instructions and usable spares
- Materials declared suitable for aquarium use
- UK returns, warranty and support route
How the comparison stays fair
Evidence has a visible status.
1. Source
Each claim should trace to Stonehouse's dated prototype record, a current manufacturer document or clearly identified seller information.
2. Scope
An observed prototype feature is reported as observed. It is not silently converted into a production, performance or compatibility promise.
3. Review
Specifications, rights, UK support, price and release status must be reviewed again before a product can become purchasable.
Suppliers and manufacturers
Help customers compare with better information.
Stonehouse welcomes written specifications, compatibility data, approved images, brand rules, UK warranty routes, stock feeds and test evidence. Supplied information remains attributed and still passes the same review gate.

Essential guidance before a purchase.
The nitrogen cycle
Understand ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, bacterial colonisation and why a newly filled aquarium is not automatically ready for livestock.
Test trends—not targets alone
Use repeated readings, species requirements and the aquarium’s normal baseline instead of chasing one universal pH or nitrate number.
Protect biological media
Avoid replacing every mature media component at once. Keep established biological media wet and minimise unnecessary disruption.
Adult needs come first
Volume is only one screen. Footprint, territory, swimming behaviour, social structure and waste production all affect suitability.
Reduce change and stress
Plan temperature, water chemistry, lighting and quarantine. Never add transport water blindly or treat acclimation as one fixed recipe.
Build a repeatable routine
Observe livestock, service equipment according to load, record changes and avoid changing several variables without a reason.
Trusted external references
Check important facts at the source
Stonehouse summaries should help customers understand information, while important species, welfare and health decisions remain linked to established reference sources.

Clean Water Project · by Stonehouse Aquatics
Less disposable plastic.
Less disposable plastic.
More respect for every drop.
A planned collection of reusable, laser-engraved stainless-steel essentials—created to help customers rely less on disposable drinks containers while keeping every material, claim and supplier standard visible.
From one daily habit to living water
What leaves our hands can reach a world we rarely see.
Plastic pollution is not only an ocean problem. Lost and discarded items can move through streets, drains and rivers, fragmenting into smaller pieces along the way. The connection is real—but so is the need to speak carefully about what one product can achieve.
01 · At home
Make reuse the easy choice.
A bottle, mug or flask only earns its place when it is used repeatedly and cared for. The project starts with durable everyday objects—not a claim that buying more is automatically better.
Why precise claims matter ↗02 · In our waterways
Rivers carry more than water.
The Environment Agency describes plastic pollution as a serious and growing problem in rivers. Plastic can harm wildlife and slowly break into microplastic fragments; prevention matters before litter reaches the water.
Read the UK evidence ↗03 · Beneath the surface
Reefs are alive—and under pressure.
Corals are animals that build extraordinary habitats. NOAA reports that reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor yet support about 25% of marine creatures, while pollution is one of several human pressures they face.
Explore NOAA coral science ↗A living system, not a marketing backdrop
A reef is built by tiny lives, over time.
That is why this project will never suggest that a purchase “saves the ocean”. Its purpose is more grounded: help one reusable object stay in use, make the supply chain visible and keep the wider water story impossible to ignore.
The Stonehouse standard
Emotion earns attention. Evidence earns trust.
Specific, not vagueName the behaviour supported and every relevant material.
Whole-life honestyAcknowledge manufacture, mixed components, packaging and delivery.
No invented impact totalsPublish numbers only with a method, period and auditable record.
Progress customers can inspectShow supplier evidence and future partnerships when they are real.
The goal is not to sell a miracle. It is to make one ordinary habit more durable.
UN Environment describes plastic pollution as a threat to ocean and aquatic ecosystems. Stonehouse will link to that evidence while keeping each product claim proportionate.
Why this belongs here
Clean water connects every part of Stonehouse.
Aquariums make the health of freshwater and marine environments impossible to ignore. This project takes that concern beyond the tank and into a simple daily habit: choosing a reusable vessel when it genuinely replaces a disposable one.
Reuse, not perfection.
Stainless steel still has a manufacturing footprint, and some lids or seals may contain plastic. The range will not be described as “plastic-free” unless every component supports that exact claim.

Start at zero. Count only what can be proved.
Future counters will activate only when the calculation method, date range and underlying records can be audited. No donation or cleanup promise will appear without a real agreement and transparent accounting.
Health boundary: the project does not claim that its products prevent disease or remove microplastics from the body. Health evidence continues to develop and must not be overstated.
Supplier launch gate
A dropship partner must protect the customer—not just ship a parcel.
Product evidence
Food-contact documentation, exact steel grade, coatings, lid and seal materials, batch traceability, capacity and dimensions.
Customer experience
UK delivery windows, tracking, secure packaging, defect handling, warranty support and a clear returns address.
Brand and engraving
Approved engraving templates, repeatable placement, pre-production sample, blind dropship capability and licensed product photography.
Operational fit
Stock feed, dispatch confirmation, cancellation handling, replacement parts and accountable service contacts.
Personalised returns: custom engraving may affect change-of-mind cancellation rights, but faulty, unsafe or misdescribed goods remain protected by UK consumer law. Final terms will be reviewed before checkout launches.
Partnership and team orders
Premium engraving for teams, events and aligned organisations.
Once supply and safety checks are complete, Stonehouse can explore small-batch logo engraving without separating the Clean Water Project from the trusted Stonehouse customer journey.

Bioflow M modular media caddy
A removable two-part media system developed to make filter-media organisation, access and servicing more practical.
Dimension route recordedLive fit trialIndependent accessoryRelease evidence pending
Not yet for sale
Final compatibility, material specification, instructions, production checks and pricing will be published before customer release.
Product overview
Designed around access—not marketing claims.
The concept separates filter media into removable sections while keeping the development record visible. Claims about flow improvement, capacity and long-term durability stay excluded until they are measured and documented.
Upper and lower sections with internal media support.
Fit, handling and servicing are under observation.
The final production material and care limits will be documented.
Caddy, shelves and instructions remain subject to release specification.
Compatibility
Fit should be verified, not assumed.
This prototype follows the Bioflow M development route. Release compatibility will identify exact housings, dimensions, revisions and exceptions.
Select a model to see the current verification status.
Real-use evidence
See the dated aquarium record.
Drag the handle to compare the installation-day aquarium with the approximately 24-hour follow-up. The Day 7 image is displayed separately. These are observations from one aquarium—not guaranteed performance figures.
(2).jpg)
Confirmed Day 7 image
One week in live use.
The aquarium appears visibly clear in this photograph. Lighting, maintenance, feeding and other variables may also influence appearance, so the image is presented as a dated observation rather than isolated proof.
Installation outline
A controlled changeover matters.
- Confirm the exact filter housing and released compatibility record.
- Prepare replacement media while protecting established biological media from drying.
- Load media only in the documented arrangement.
- Seat the caddy without forcing the housing or pump assembly.
- Restore operation and verify flow, noise and water level.
Maintenance
Service media without resetting the aquarium.
Inspect and clean according to debris load rather than a fixed universal schedule.
Keep established media wet in aquarium water and avoid replacing everything at once.
Check for deformation, trapped debris, wear and unrestricted seating during servicing.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before launch.
Is this product available to buy?
No. It remains in development and live aquarium testing. The page collects launch interest only.
Does it guarantee clearer water?
No. The development photographs record visible conditions in one aquarium. They do not prove a guaranteed or isolated performance result.
Is it made by or endorsed by Juwel?
No affiliation or manufacturer endorsement is claimed. It is an independently developed accessory route.
Which media will be included?
The final contents and any optional media packs will be published once supplier and release decisions are complete.
Will replacement parts be available?
Replacement shelves and service components are planned, but the exact range will be confirmed before release.

Quick answers
Resolve common questions first.
Can Stonehouse diagnose or treat my fish?
No. The site helps organise observations and water-quality information. Severe distress, poisoning, rapid losses or uncertain treatment needs qualified aquatic veterinary help.
Can I place an order yet?
Not until live prices, stock, delivery terms, payment and checkout are connected and clearly marked active.
Where is my Tank Passport data stored?
In this static release it stays in your browser unless you export it. Cloud accounts require the secure database and authentication launch phase.
How do I question an image or factual claim?
Select “Information correction” or “Privacy or image rights” and include the exact page or image. Licensed media records retain creator, source, licence and modifications.
Policies and Trust
Clear before checkout goes live.
This page sets the honest static-site position. Final commerce, returns and delivery wording will be completed against the actual selling systems and terms.
Privacy
Tank Passport, journal, maintenance, builds and preferences are currently stored in your browser. They are not automatically uploaded to Stonehouse. Users can export or remove local records.
Community photographs and profiles
Contributions remain private drafts until species identification, evidence, rights and safety have been reviewed. Uploaders must own any photograph they submit and grant Stonehouse permission to use an accepted contribution. Copied search-engine, retailer, social-media, book, manufacturer, watermarked, stock-preview or otherwise unlicensed images are not accepted. Open-licensed does not mean copyright-free: every open-licence photograph requires a provenance record and visible credit containing the creator, source, exact licence and whether Stonehouse changed it. Customer originals are labelled “Used with the photographer’s permission” rather than open-licensed. Licensed stock media requires the supplier, asset reference, purchase or download date, commercial-use terms and retained proof of licence. Supplier media is labelled according to its written permission. Contact Stonehouse to question attribution, ownership or request future removal.
Contribution rewards
No points or discount are earned merely by submitting content. A first accepted contribution may qualify for one single-use, non-stackable 10% thank-you reward under the published launch terms. Accepted complete profiles and original photographs may qualify for the displayed points after identity, duplication, evidence and rights checks.
Email consent
Email forms connect to Brevo only after a hosted form endpoint is configured. Consent wording, welcome emails and unsubscribe handling must be tested before launch.
Product evidence
Prototype photographs and observations are clearly separated from guaranteed performance claims. Final compatibility, specifications and instructions will be published before sale.
Purchasing
No live price, stock, checkout, delivery promise or paid membership is currently represented as operational.
Emergency Checklist
Stabilise first. Diagnose carefully.
A rapid general checklist for aquarium distress. This is not veterinary diagnosis and cannot cover every species or emergency.
Observe
Look for gasping, loss of balance, rapid breathing, unusual position, colour change, injuries and whether multiple animals are affected.
Test
Check temperature, ammonia, nitrite, pH and oxygenation. Confirm equipment is running and no contaminant has entered the aquarium.
Protect
Where appropriate, increase aeration and use a controlled, conditioned, temperature-matched water change. Avoid random medication mixing.
Escalate
Severe distress, rapid losses, poisoning or uncertain treatment needs qualified aquatic veterinary or experienced specialist help.
Bioflow M Development Journal
The product launches when the evidence earns it.
A transparent record of the original media problem, prototype construction, installation, approximately 24-hour follow-up and confirmed Day 7 aquarium observation.
Current stageLive aquarium trial
Commercial statusNot yet for sale
Claims statusObservations only
Baseline · documented
The original filter media setup
The stock baskets and media arrangement were photographed first so the upgrade had a clear starting reference.
Prototype phase · complete
Fit and print refinement
Dimensions, wall thickness, shelves, handling and the upper/lower joint were repeatedly refined before the live trial.
Live trial · complete
Installation and early observation
The prototype entered a stocked Lake Tanganyika aquarium so fit, servicing, visible water movement and real-use behaviour could be recorded.
Inspection phase · complete
Day 7 removal and inspection
The caddy was removed after one week, photographed from multiple angles and demonstrated in a short removal guide video.
Extended live record · active
Near-two-week observation
A later image and video show the aquarium under red lighting, with a matching-light comparison still recommended.

Documented release
Exact compatibility, material specification, production checks, instructions, warranty and support must still be complete before sale.
Checkpoint 00 · Original filter setup
The stock baskets that came with the filter.
These images document the original baskets and media arrangement that were replaced by the Stonehouse modular caddy concept.
Why include this? It shows the genuine starting point for the upgrade and helps customers understand what practical access and media organisation problem the prototype is trying to improve.
Checkpoint 01 · Installation day
The prototype enters live use.
The previous media was removed, the prototype was loaded and the aquarium was photographed at the start of the trial.
Checkpoint 02 · Visible flow observation
Short in-tank video of water movement.
What this video is for.
This clip records visible water movement with the prototype in place. It is useful practical evidence that the housing remained in operation, but it should not be interpreted as a measured flow-rate claim or proof of absolute filtration performance.
Media integrity: this is a web-optimised H.264 delivery copy for faster, more compatible playback. The untouched original evidence video remains retained in the V24.7 master archive; no evidence photograph has been modified.
Checkpoint 03 · Approximately 24 hours
The first visible follow-up.
A clearer-looking photograph was recorded.
The image documents the visible condition of this aquarium at that moment. Lighting, camera position, feeding, maintenance and suspended debris can also affect appearance, so it is not presented as a controlled performance measurement.
Checkpoint 04 · Day 7 removal and inspection
The caddy after one week in live use.
These images show the prototype after seven days in the aquarium, plus a short removal-guide video to document how it is lifted from the housing.
Removal guide evidence.
This short video shows how the caddy can be removed after the first week. It helps demonstrate handling and access, but it is still practical prototype evidence rather than a formal usability certification.
Checkpoint 05 · Confirmed Day 7 aquarium record
One week in real aquarium use.
The later clarity record.
The aquarium appears visibly clear in the confirmed Day 7 photograph. This is useful development evidence from one real aquarium, not proof of a guaranteed or isolated filtration result.
Future evidence standard: repeat photographs from the same position, record maintenance, feeding and water changes, retain dated water-test results and repeat trials where practical.
Checkpoint 06 · Near-two-week clarity record
The aquarium remained visibly clear under red lighting.
This image and video were recorded close to the two-week mark. They are useful evidence that the aquarium still appeared clear, but the red lighting means they should not be used as the primary direct colour comparison against the earlier blue/white photographs.
Continued real-use observation.
The water appears clear in this later record and the video adds movement rather than relying on a single still image. Because lighting colour, exposure and camera angle affect appearance, the evidence is labelled honestly as a red-light observation.
Recommended next comparison.
Repeat one photograph and one short video from the same position, at the same time of day and under the same blue/white lighting used for the earlier records. That will make the two-week comparison substantially stronger and more credible.
Evidence note: the red-light image is included because it is genuine dated development evidence. A matching-light photograph should be added as the primary Day 14 comparison when available.
