Was an oase 1000 mate

@@Angelfishkeeper98 the optimax?

Unfortunately but I knew it wasn’t ideal and would be a risky test but hopefully be much better in the tropical tank and as for the fish stock yeah very bad but again that’s the thing with marines especially wild fish but as I said I don’t believe that had anything to do with the rock at all

This hobby isn’t just plain sailing and I’ll share every part of it the good and the bad

Yeah gonna mate the tank next to it planted too and yeah love my marines too should be an upgrade on that tank soon

Thank you for watching I’ve just shut down my reef tank briefly but I am more a freshwater guy but I work with marines so don’t feel to big a need to keep them

Yeah I’m aware of this the fish in vid are white fin bentosi tetra but other than that the info is correct hence why I’ve left the video up

Sorry don’t ship fish

@@Angelfishkeeper98 thanks for ur feedback. 👍🏼😁

Thank you yeah they’re beautiful fish not for everyone though not the easiest angel to keep

Your welcome anytime my friend

So far so good

They were previously at the time of this video (Hyphessobrycon bentosi rosaceus) now yes have been reclassified as their own species don’t worry I’m aware ☺️I’ve work with these guys for years

Cheers man and no clean up crew take care of that and I don’t have excess nutrients or lack of either

Thanks man I appreciate it

Yeah the sand contrast’s really nicely with the mojo wood

Yeah that’s not gonna be fun to change over

Cheers mate I’m really loving this scape

Nah I don’t work in gallons this is more than big enough to achieve the goal I’m after

Yeah I’m really happy with it so far can’t wait to get some coral in there

I’m sorry I’m lost if you mean the equipment it comes with then no not really

@Angelfish keeper Yeah, the filter it comes with and the pump etc

@@Bawsa. no not really the u3 is fairly quiet I upgraded to the 307

Not intentionally haha but hopefully it’ll help people who are intimidated by saltwater

Thanks man and yeah this is a fairly low tech system but can’t wait to see how coral fairs with this stuff thanks for watching

Most the equipment I have isn’t even necessary all you need is a light filter and heater Lot easier than it looks just can’t cut corners and patients is the key

Well coralline algae is purple which only grows in mature/ maturing systems with this rock and many other marine rocks being purple it already gives you mature looking rock from the off so most marine keepers should opt for this colour while trop keepers should go for the grey/brown varieties as purple isn’t a natural colour in tropical but I can’t wait either looks so much better in person my camera isn’t great with blues I need to get a filter for it

@@Angelfishkeeper98 For a new 'rock' in the tank it still looked very impressive to me.

@@pondguru as I said mate it looks mature apposed to the ocean and tuffa rock that is white and goes through an ugly stage but I have tmc reef rock to compare to so I’m excited to get coral in

@@Angelfishkeeper98 Groovy.

No not at all they live along side tetra in the wild

So if you watch the other vids on this tank you’d know it had a 307 on it also and this thank has been shut down and sold for almost a year

Yeah looks amazing can’t wait to get it scaped

@@Angelfishkeeper98 it’s already a beautiful tank! I’m more of a breeder, as plants are a new frontier for me..looking forward to future videos mate my name is Jeff. Have a great day!

I like to breed in a natural tank and the rock is for a marine aquarium that I’m setting up this weekend

The tank in this video is using lava rock

@@Angelfishkeeper98 I like the look of lava rock, and it’s great for beneficial bacteria

Yeah I have Biohome bio gravel in most my filters be nice to see how it compares

Nearly right but there is no clay used whatsoever !

@@mtourgus yes there is no clay in this media

Yes Richard was very well packaged and only some tiny bits came off and this video and the one before it if you like whichever you feel would be best to get the use of the product across

Think I sent the links not sure😅

@@Angelfishkeeper98 I can't even remember watching this video or making that comment above yesterday, lol I banged my head yesterday around noon and got through all my emails, replies to comments and orders without remembering any of it then I ended up in hospital for a brain scan, getting home at 0330 today. Knackered. I'll link to this video from the Community tab on my channel and put links to your channel in there. When the rocks are mature with corals it should look awesome and for any of those videos I can directly upload a copy to my channel if you want me to no worries.

@@ThousandYardStare oh god we hopefully you haven’t caused any significant damage Richard or might have an Andy the 2nd😅😂and yeah that’s absolutely fine by me as long as you don’t think I forget to mention anything of significance and I can’t wait to get it all up and running and getting corals onto it

@@Angelfishkeeper98 That will be great to see it in the full glory under the lights with corals waving in the water flow and fish swimming in and out of the structures. As far as information goes anything is fine as it's basically just the Biohome reshaped into rocks so it works the same.

Yeah there’s actually 8 bits not 7 and obviously each box will vary

Luckily I know Richard and I’m very curious as it’s for a new marine tank and low nitrates aren’t great for that

This is because I’m thinking about the angels adult size and making sure they have room to grow to their full size

28 degrees Celsius

Thank you so much x and I’ve never had a problem with carbon and I never have it in longer than 3 weeks

Thank you so much for subscribing

These lights have been used on tropical systems in the past and just max on red and whites gives a nice warm tropical look some lights a just recommend for marine but these can happily be used for both

Thank you much appreciated

We keep angels and they are beautiful to watch

@@thefishlady they really are definitely my favourite fish kept and bred them over 12 years now wouldn’t have a tank without them

Thanks miss follow on insta or Snapchat for quick updates both in my bio thank you for watching I’m so glad you like them I have had silver Angelfish for a long time

Yeah it’s a great tank and it’s really old wood

@@Angelfishkeeper98 Did you see my angelfish tank? The wood is new and stripped clean by Plecos! Nice but different.

Yeah nice tank mate

@@Angelfishkeeper98 Thank you from Chicago!

@@LushSaltyAquariums thank you from the UK

I work for Maidenhead aquatics so I got it from there no I’ve said in past videos it’s not a plant substrate it’s inert so doesn’t affect the ph

If you looking at other videos you’ll see they are keyhole cichlids

@@Angelfishkeeper98 Are they compatible with small fish like neon and ember tetra’s?

Always do your own research but yes should be fine these guys only get to 4inch so neons will be fine but if they can eat something they will so keep well fed and embers should be fine too lots of plants and hiding places

I already have a fish profile video on them too

@@Angelfishkeeper98 Thanks

Marbles have a lot more melanin give the higher contrast of black pigment most domestic angel share the same genes as they all derived from the silver wild types to simplify things koi generally carry more red and white with a little black and marbles carry a lot of black with little white or red

@@Angelfishkeeper98 Thanks. When I was breeding Angels I did a fair amount of study into the genetics. If you like I can point you toward the scientific sources I've used in the past.

@@TheTaipan genetics isn’t really something that interests me to be honest I been breeding angels almost 12 years now

@@Angelfishkeeper98 Yeah, each to their own. I didn't really get into it myself for the first decade or so. Wasn't until I got requests from some local shops to supply them specifically that I wanted to understand what made a koi a koi.

@@TheTaipan to me genetics are to easy to complicate and you can’t say they’re genuine traits of a line until is consistent down 4-5 generations koi it’s in the name they look like tancho koi striking high red and white with a little accent of black and marbles because that high black with silver or white gives the marble effect it’s really that simple but yeah it’s a bit of a rabbit hole tbh to the average keeper doesn’t matter which is why I didn’t mention it
