I am 2.5 weeks into my dark start. I used controsoil and have some seiryu stone in there so far. I have yet to see an ammonia spike or anything to indicate it is cycling. Any suggestions? Was I supposed to add anything to kickstart the cycle like some methods suggest? I am using mostly new filter media but some was from an old torn down tank but it was completely dried out so I don't think it helped start anything much. I put a couple pellets of food in but otherwise it's just the soil, filter, and stone. Appreciate the video and all the info you're willing to share!

thank you for the video, its just not working for me. im not experiencing bobbing, at all, im only experienceing completely sinking of the skimmer or it completely floating on top So apparently as you describe as "the nose" seems to be not breathing at all even with the "mouth" completely closed.. im dumbfounded... water is just squeezing through the cracks... im so frustrated im probably gonna go with another option that saves space and works without dealing with what seems like significant constant fine tuning

what about mg in the macro solution ? I gla toturial they add to the macro mg powder . do you recommend ?

I've got a 4 year old dirted planted tank that just had a flare up. I just fertilized. Wonder if that caused this bloom.

Anthocyanin - not anthrocyanin. No "r".

Great video! I'm thinking of using rotalas. Do they tolerate being kept low (~10-15 cm)?

Love your vids! Thank you

Topping technique 🤨 You're really good at topping!! 😂

Awesome tanks, i have a question about keeping shrimp in a high tech set up. How do you trim and do water changes without cutting/siphoning shrimp & the babies? Id love to put some in my tank but fear it will make maintenance difficult

One of the most beautiful shallows that I have ever seen! So jealous, since we never get any good chili rasbora stock here in the Midwest 😢

It makes environment for fish very bright from different angles, do fish care? Is it better to provide fish with darker hiding spots?

How In the HECK are you keeping tds at 150 with all that seiryu in such a small tank... I would like to see you check the tds live..because theres no way.

If that's a uns 45s.. it's a over 5 gallons..closer to 6

Very nice❤ gh? Kh?

Very nicely done:) even if it's shallow tank it does a great piece of nature to the room

Nano Canisters will really work well on this setup. UNS Blitz, TRU Nano, Landen Pura, some examples

I know this is an older video, but I really liked how you explained your process for finding sollutions! I have a 45P as well, and was curious how you decided how much livestock to get. I like the ember tetras quite a bit and enjoyed seeing how many you used.

Looks great, amazing hardscape , love a smaller setup like this and agree I think external filter would be great with some nice lilly pipes

Wonderful tank. Chili rasboras and neocaridina are totally cool. I have a 20 x 10 x 10 tank and am debating between what you have or just a betta. 😊

Asbolutely stunning tank!

I like your aquariums but what's up with the constant creepy smile. I find it quite off-putting and weird, is it real or fake, I am not sure.

i think this is my favorite of your tanks by far. i really like the over sized "tree". have you considered training some pothos or another vining plant to grow up it? may be that last little nutrient siphon you need to cut the algae completely. also from socal, so i look forward to seeing your channel get more traction.

Great to see you back on YT! Tank looks incredible and I agree that Lamandau purple would look 👌

I think all of us in the hobby have thought one time or another that it would be really cool to have a shallow tank. I like the shape and size of this one. I may have to get one on a shelf in my office. The only fish I would suggest is 6 pigmy corys and shrimp (of course). I love what you did with the wood work it is really impressive.

Just bought one of these and your video actually really helped. I’m curious though, if you have two filters, would you rather have the inflow on the inside track or closer to the wall ? I have my filter pipes in opposite corners…

can this be done to wood?

Is it safe to use Seiryu Stone in saltwater aquariums?

What lights are you running on that tank?

Thank you for your video. I just had a quick question regarding the Twinstar light on the 60U: what power setting did you use? Thank you in advance for your response.

What if the water become cloudy and full green how much should we mix ? I got anti algae , kindly describe it to me

I added half a capful to a 3 gallon bucket. Took out the driftwood with Anubias and Java Fern attached to treat the Algae on it. I left it for 5 minutes. 2 days later the Java Fern started to die.

dark start methode is well stabilised in reefing , glad to see peoples in planted word trying same thing. im on second week of dark start method

Epic layout! I just did a dark start with Ada soil for 3 weeks and planted it a week ago. No algae and water is perfect ready for fish (still going to wait a few more weeks though)

Ruby Tetra are a great small fish - once settled, they are little jewels 🙂

hey friend- cheers from my fish room in Chicago! I'm a huge fan of your aesthetic and passion for quality it shows. I do have two suggestions. 1) Consider taking the far right rock out of the 60U. this will give you an odd number of stones in keeping with conventions of that style. Stopping the video, I held my thumb over the rock and I thought it looked even better, if that's even possible ;) 2) A great tiny red fish for the tank you asked viewers about: Ruby Tetras.

hi Logan Rando, really appreciate if you let me to use the voice over at the beginning of video for my short tiktok post.

Tanichthys micagemmae? All those tanks look awesome! Love the different shrimp strains too.

Hello! I love your channel. I have a question? You don’t have to answer but it would be cool if you did! How do you feel about the 1” of fish per gallon rule or the 1/2” rule for live stock? I have no judgement on your tanks they’re admirable I’m here for notes!

What is the plant in the cylindrical terrarium

Dont you literally own buceplant? Lol

But how do you put tapwater directly into your tank? Doesn’t it have chlorine in it?

Scarlet Badis/Dario Dariom for a small red fish!

Lovely tanks Logan.

Love the tour what about coral red pencilfish seen these recently on another channel would look amazing

look good man.. cant help it to feel abit jealousy keep sprouting from my end.. 😂😂

I just ordered a ton of stuff a couple days ago from Buce plant for my first high tech tank- thanks for the inspiration

the scape on the 60u is top tier

Very informative and professionally shot/edited video!

Love the tanks! In your first tank, iwagumi one (and the problem child), what product do you use for the blue background?

What soil are you using?
