Quick update on all my tanks

The unofficial fish room tour update. We all have lives that are outside of our fish rooms and while it may seem like a full time job, mine still remains very much a hobby. Here’s some things that I’ve been up to and things I am planning out!
One larger heater to replace two!?

Out with the old and in with the new! Is this the one heater to rule them all? *fingers crossed. Will update on any longevity issues but this brand has been a solid staple in my fish room across multiple equipment. More info on them and the heater itself: Website- www.hygger-online.com/ Heater- amzn.to/3ULlovy My solid picks: linktr.ee/jkfishkeeping

Definitely a must visit if you’re in the area! Not only did I get my fill on inspiration but the amount off dry goods AND aquatic species they have is amazing. Saltwater or fresh, reef or planted, aquarium or terrarium. They’ve got you covered. Hope you guys enjoy as much as I did. Links that may be of interest: linktr.ee/jkfishkeeping

Don’t start your aquarium without watching this!
I always try to breed fish but never works out can u tell me some tips?
What kind of fish? Definitely varies but clean water and a good ratio to start. Plecos and cichlids can get triggered from a cooler water change
ive found a piece of cool wood from the forest. the surface gets a bit spongy like cork when i immerse it. should i proceed with boil treatment? or matter of fact should i use it in a tank?
I have one piece I found and it’s also a soft wood. I’d still boil it if you can. It might take forever to sink. You can leave it for awhile in water in case it leeches anything
@@JKFishKeeping sounds good.. also a little bark is still attached to the piece so any advice on how to remove it? ive tried logging it to remove the bark but it seems to be connected tight...
@@yawg333 I’d pry it off with a flathead
Awesome idea! For me this is very help full!
Thank you! Yes me too!
Thank you, for seeing the value in his existence. I love that I'm not the only person that keeps the ones that aren't perfect. Every animal deserves life!
Bro don't think your weak Just because you can't lift 400 pounds. Not many people can.
😅👊
Yes! Hahaha thanks for the tips! I have a 20x12 shed that’s brand new! Documenting it and everything!
Oh that’s awesome! Definitely if I had to do it all over, there would be some changes but space optimization and money saving is always key 🫡
@@JKFishKeeping most definitely! I have all my plans! Currently building the walls currently lol, I have my little tankless water heater on order along with the same air pump you have! I’m a plumber so I have all the pvc ready hahaha
@noisyaquatics man, having a plumbing trade comes incredibly handy in this hobby lol!
How does this video only have 20 likes this is awesome and helpfull fish content!
Thank you so much!
Hey😃Be careful of the sponge filter lift tube with the baby plecos. My longfin albino baby got stuck in there. He didn't make it😞 I also mix up what my fish get. I feed my shellies micro pellets and vibra bites. That betta food looks interesting. I usually give Northfin and Hikari but I'm always looking to try new foods😃
Oh man. I have been there a few times with the uplift tubes and these darn plecos 😓
@@JKFishKeeping it was heartbreaking. Poor little baby. Only fish that's ever done that
Great content
Looks really good to me.👍🤟
Thanks Mark! Hope they like it too 😂
I love this light with the clips! I can only find a 12 inch long one on amazon and dosnt allow returns and that scares me. Well no free returns anyway. Are yo u using for reef or planted? I am looking for one for a reef frag tanks and cant find anything that dosnt have to high of a mount! My tank is only 12 inches front to back so I need something that wont stick out to far into the tank. This looks perfect with clamps! Where did you buy it from and how do you like it? Seems very inexpensive to me compared to mist on Amazon!
I use it on freshwater, don’t think it’s bright enough for corals but can definitely use for FOWLR. Pretty sure I got mine on Amazon awhile ago. It would look sweet on a rimless
The tall rack system with the 4 20 gallon longs (guessing). Where did you buy that rack from?
On Amazon! Brand Raybee
@@JKFishKeeping thank you! Did you have any issues with it! It looks great! I wanted to stack my 4 20/29 tanks just like your metal rack.. but was debating on just doing the cinder block thing? But I’m limited space.. your thoughts 💭 Thank you again man!!!
@jr.childers2324 definitely going up helps with space. No issues and it’s been going strong. 20 gallons is the most I’ve had on it though. I liked this each because the long bars don’t show the slots. Believe it’s on sale and I think they had a couple sizes
@ 13:55 mins. "Something you never wanna do is...... you don't know what is in that water." Well, if it is in that water it is also on the fish or does he rinse the fish with alcohol????
Sometimes yes but it’s always safer not to add the water. High levels of ammonia could be something that is in the water but not with the fish. Any meds as well. Things like bacteria or fungus and parasites could very well be on the fish but adding the water would of course contaminate the tank even more. Just volume maths
What about very fine mesh net dividers? Would that work?
If separating non bettas. It would be great flow. Bettas can definitely get stressed when seeing each other permanently
@@JKFishKeeping Do you know of a link to buy such a net divider? Or a recommendation and link? I want to breed different tropical fish, some cichlids
@SPIDERKING777 what size is the tank? Penn plax makes one for a 10gallons that I’ve used before
@@JKFishKeeping It's a 90 long tank. So it's short and thin and long.
@@SPIDERKING777 oh super cool. Since that’s very uncommon, I’d see what other tanks are close to that size and check it out. Good thing with the mesh is you can cut it smaller but more difficult to find larger
You can't resist them😂
😅
Great channel. Will subscribe :) // Greetings from Sweden
Hello and welcome! 🙏 thank you!
foooooood
Longfin Green Dragon. My longfin blue eye tank is my dirtiest tank too just can’t move the babies out fast enough always too many of them haha
These filthy animals 😅
I have Hygger lights for 2 of my tanks. Love them for the price point!
They did well on their lights!
Green Dragon for sure! Middle of Iowa if your asking lol
😉
Badis is what I'd use
Always wanted to try them!
@@JKFishKeeping I got one for the same reason and no more worms
@davids_collection oh perfect! Thanks!!
Do I just toss in a betta and call it a day?
Does this help with water logging the wood?
It does. Doesn’t always work, depending on which wood you have and how long you boil it but sometimes they will sink right away
@@JKFishKeeping i have goldvine, i figured boiling for an hour or so cant hurt?
@daves7104 good idea. I will always boil new wood first if it fits
@@JKFishKeeping yea that's the challenge.. getting it fit. I chose to focus on the clump sections first and Keating the longer skinny branches to stick out and after boiling I'll just soak thr lot in a large drum. Do you salt yours?
@daves7104 I do not salt them. Larger pieces if they somewhat fit, I’ll rotate them after some time
why do you keep so many poor fish in such miserable tanks? with no places to hide, no decorations, plants, nothing. just a bare water box. seems cruel
Hi Jill! A lot of my tanks have a high turnover rate due to being breeding set ups. With that being said, I do agree with you and have began making the tanks more suitable.
@@JKFishKeeping Love it. Even though it might "turn over" quickly, whatever items you put in there can be re-used so it's not money wasted. And...raising happy healthy fish is better for your customers buying them.
You NEVER "treat" driftwood by boiling it, you are not only going to spread diseases to your aquarium but you won't have good bacteria and tannins which are good for aquarium, NEVER BOIL DRIFTWOOD❗️❗️❗️ only wash it!
Ehhh
The cinder blocks are 16" long. My tank is 18" deep. Can i just have my wood stick out an inch in the front and back? Is that safe?
How many gallons? To be honest, my tanks over hang my wood slightly. You can definitely pull out the wood an inch on either side, especially if it’s on a bottom or mid row so there support on top of the wood
i feel like a canister filter is hindered when you put nearly solid dividers....
Normally yes you are absolutely correct but for the purpose of this set up, the spray bar as well as the power, creates enough surface agitation in each section and filtration that utilizes a single outlet.
When I bought mine I cut out all the clear silocone and redid it with aquarium black and it looks much better and I trust the bond better than original.
GRATITUDE💥🤩💥
By the alarm comes on it’s to late fish are dead
Link?
I got them from Etsy
@@JKFishKeeping Thanks having trouble finding it...all I see is pothos sizes which are.too thin. What did you search?
@irecruitfish7410 if you search “pothocarry” you’ll see the seller. Click them to see everything in their store
@@JKFishKeeping found it on the site thank you
Thank you so much!❤
Thank YOU! 🙏
They noticed you at 25 ft woah
Out of curiosity, how long did it take from when you ordered your fish to when they shipped? I ordered some clown killifish at the end of February and they still haven't shipped. Tried contacting customer service on the website to just get a rough idea on what the hold up might be but crickets. Truly just asking
I remember when I ordered, it stated when the shipping date would be and it was probably like 2-3 weeks out. What it seems like it they post the pictures before they even get the fish in house and they are getting sent from overseas. Their communications are very difficult because before I know they only had like two staff members so that is the downfall. Double check to see if you missed a ship date or something in that realm to give you an idea
👎
Cool designs bro! Very cool. Loved to have one☺️
Thank you!
@@JKFishKeeping where you from brother?
@@archetypaljesus Norther Illinois suburb of Chicago. You?
@@JKFishKeeping im from the Philippines. You look cute☺️
Could do without the music. So we can hear you better without distraction
Ah thank you! It was a last minute decision and I was iffy about it too 😅
@@JKFishKeeping love your tanks and content
@jonsanchez7926 thank you Jon! I really appreciate it
"Went to a fish store and wasn't planning on buying anything" 🤣 famous last words. Nice shrimp! So many pleco babies😍😍😍 always a good seller as are the assassins. I just steal my assassins from a family members tank lol he lets me keep whatever I make bc he can't be bothered coming to the auction. Can't remember if I told you but I was in an lfs recently and 1 assassin had crawled from their tank, through another tank and into a tank of about 30 red racers ... completely decimated them😭 thanks for the heads up about the tube in the sponge filters! Good to know
That’s crazy about the assassin assassin snail! 😂
you gotta go back for the koi plakat
🤣 fuuuudge LOL! I’m curious to see what betta you’re gonna get cuz cmon… I know there’s gotta be at least one betta tank!
Where my FH keepers at?!
There you are lol wow look at all those babies!! Congrats 🥳
Hi Cheryl! Yes so busy with work. Hope things are good with you! Anything new???
@@JKFishKeeping Hey. Same old crazy work schedule with very long days lol I did get 3 baby longfin albino plecos and 2 other supposed to be albinos but I honestly think they gave me super reds by mistake ... oops 🤣 they had them all in the same tank 🤷♀️ Looking forward to the fish auction in Ottawa in a couple of weeks. Don't know about you guys but we barely had any snow (not normal😬) Spring is coming early. Starting seeds for the garden. Oh and I got myself a Monstera Thai Constellation!!! Prices are coming down and it's tiny lol only paid $32! Hope you and your family are all well! 😃
@@cherylmartin9994 oh super mild winter but I love it. I just bought a couple Thai cons from Home Depot for $40 each! Hard to pass up with those prices. Gonna repot it soon though, soil is super thicc
Do they need any extra light?
Pothos are super easy. Ambient room light is fine
Great find with the plastic sheets! How is it holding up? Any warping?
It’s doing perfect. Only because I used so much of the thicker twin wall sheets
what brand of airpump?
It’s from Aquarium Coop, can’t remember the brand
Great video! What size r those breeder tanks behind you?? Are they 10 or 20 gal?
Bottom row are 20s and the middle are 10s 👊
Do not buy from them….. bought a male Betta from them, what you see what you get. Nope they sent a different fish and it was a female…… they are scammers. They took a month and a half to send me the wrong fish.
I really like the lid. What was the clear plastic sheet that you used? Also the tank looks very cozy for your plecos. I'm sure they'll be very happy in there☺️
Thanks Cheryl! Not sure if the plastic piece has a name but it was in the crafting area at Hobby Lobby. I eyed it before but finally found an application. It’s great because it’s cheap and customizable to whatever your lid needs are.
underrated channel - looks like you predicted your 1k subs, congrats bro!
Holy Pharma!!! 😍 you making a comeback??? Missed you man!
@@JKFishKeeping coming back soon! planning out my fish room looking for inspo and happened upon your aqueon frameless tank vid!
