Where did you get the lid?
I make my own lids using clear plastic greenhouse panelling from a diy shop. Thanks for watching 🐠
I currently breed and ship these. I’m transferring them from a 10 high to a 20 long
Amazing shelf setups!
When they get bigger. They’re going to much and destroy all your plants
Buy new ones every other month 🤣 Or don’t put plants at all
Is that safe for around all the fish like the clown fish don't pluck on the tentacles and pluck them off or an angelfish or a Tang anything like that and get choked and die
Do they have to be locked off like that ? I thought you could just let them roam around the garden as they please
Where did you get your water bowl? It looks perfect for mine. got any names or links?
BOokk
Where did you get the tank?
Very nice fish but very few stones
Love this setup, I've been looking at something similar but want to go for a RIO 240. Is the standard filter and pump enough? I was going to upgrade the pump on the 240 to a 1500L/PH pump just to make sure there is enough water flow per hour. I would like to keep the filter as is as I like how it hides the heater and makes the tank look a cleaner. Don't the bristlenose pleco's need some driftwood?
Big fan❤❤❤
Thank you sir❤❤
nice transcriptus tank! i love the fish and the scape.
Hello, what do you give as vegetables?
Very interesting beautiful Fish Tank did you have to glue the enonomi to the rock?
What substrate was used?
Lovely video! I like the way your previous videos show their stransition from juveniles to adults. I have started a similar specie only (Chindogo Saulosi)tank in a 200litres Aquael opti set. I noticed there are now 2 males instead of 3. What happened to the other male?
Les pauvres tortues vivent dans un désert , ne faites pas ça pour leur bien
I'd like to breed some tortoises. How do I prepare an adequate site for them?
Both! I don't no which I like more to be honest. So vastly different
Can you put play sand in the tank for the bottom
Круто! Продолжай снимать про бонсай!
do you still have your axolotl?
Respect my guy, you are so educational and unlike all the other videos I've seen, you have covered all the things I needed to know 😁 you should be a top search, yet I had to do some serious searches and bullshit videos to find you. I really appreciate your advice, you should find a producer or editer, or even try yourself to get ahead of the competition 😉. All the best anyway, thanks 😊
Thanks for the kind words! 🙏
I quite like them,just the price is a bit steep for me...though definitely want to try one in the future
Yeah that is a fair point, I think that's what has put me off in the past also. Although, I think they are slowly coming down in price as more brands are bringing them out which is nice to see. Thanks for watching! 🐟🌱

Tank looks great. How large would you say they've gotten to?
They are definitely fully mature now, I'd say the biggest males are around 3.5-4 inches roughly and the females are a little smaller. Thanks for watching 👍
Nice tank!! Question, is the stock filter sufficient? I'm setting up a tank with mbuna. Planning to buy a Juwel 350 tank but it's a bit of a problem to place the in and outlet hose if I buy a Fluval FX2. It's just doesn't fit without keeping the lid open.
Honestly the juwel stock filter has been more than sufficient for this Malawi setup over the past few years! The pump has a decent turnover. I've also thought about adding a large external filter but the water quality and flow has always been great with just the internal. I guess it depends how heavily you feed etc. Good luck with your new set up! 👍
What tank is the top one you have?
It was a planted tank with black lava rock and moss, setup for mountain cloud minnows but I ended up rehoming them to bigger tank 😁 Thanks for watching
I'm gonna have to disagree with your statements about filtration. Freshwater tanks can be filterless and pumpless, like many dirted tanks. You don't even need any flow for some species and styles. Saltwater, on the other hand, needs at least a large amount of water movement, but most tanks, especially successful reef tanks, need mechanical filters and some type of chemical media like carbon. Most advanced reef tanks, especially SPS dominant tanks, have mechnical filters like socks or automatic rollers, carbon and/or GFO for phosphate removal, protein skimmers to remove dissolved solids, refugiums to remove nutrients and stabilize pH, calcium reactors to keep calcium and alkalinity in check, dosing setups for more calcium and trace elements, and high tech wavemakers to keep debris from settling in the sand on top of the return pump for flow. While your saltwater tank may have less filtration and maintaince than your freshwater tank, that is not the norm.
Having those freshwater plant lights so close to the reef probably isn't helping your algae issue. I had a small planted freshwater tank and a small reef tank next to each other and I always had algae issues in the saltwater tank. When my betta died, I took apart the freshwater tank, and within a few weeks, the algae in the saltwater tank became way more manageable.
Great comment! I had not thought about this! Apart from some extra algae on that side of the glass I hadn't thought much more of it. I'll experiment with ways to reduce the planted tank light spilling over into the nano reef. Thanks for the idea! 👍
recommend some clean-up-crew for the sw tank :)
Great shout, there is only a single hermit crab so I think you're right 👍
Beautiful setup. I have something very similar myself. I love the contrast between the two aquatic worlds side by side
Thanks for the kind words! Glad to hear of other fish keepers that have both freshwater and saltwater aquariums! 😁
Do you prefer saltwater or freshwater aquariums? I really enjoying owning both a planted tank and a nano reef tank. Although strangley not many people in this hobby keep both! Remember to hit that subscribe button for more aquarium content 😁🐟🌱
I hope you enjoy this update on my planted tank. This aquascape runs on CO2 and the plants are growing quickly! More updates on this planted ADA 60p aquarium coming soon 🐟🌱
Beautiful
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you like the planted tank 👍
Any other tropical fish of rusty/ yellow labs u could keep in a 125?
hey, i got this tank recently, but I want to know how this tank is going for you - is the bottom strong enough? The bottom glass plain is silicone attached and was wondering if it can hold up all that water pressure from above - thanks!
Thanks for watching! I've had this tank for many years now, used it for a few different shrimp setups and can tell you it definitely does hold water and the bottom is strong. 😁 All the DOOA tanks are fantastic quality and are built to hold water. The levitating base appearance is a nice touch too. Good luck with setting it up! 🌱
What happend to the vampire shrimp?
Thanks you helped me so much😊😊😊
Looks unreal, man! 👏
Thanks mate! Hope the pond is still going strong! 🤞🐟🌱 See you soon! 😁
Very beautiful, if you accept suggesions I think you could add an Apistogramma pair (or another dwarf cichlid species) to give another level of interest
Apistogrammas would look great in a densely planted tank! Thanks for the suggestion 😁
@@alasdairaquatics you're welcome and there are so many species that you have plenty of choice, i've recently discovered your channel, how many aquariums do you have?
I hope you enjoy this look at how I setup this high tech planted ADA 60p tank. More updates coming very soon! 😁🐟🌱
I have a 55 gallon tank how many clown fish can I have please respond
In general, it's best to just keep one pair of clownfish per tank. The pair will likely get very territorial towards other clownfish in the same tank. However some people have had success keeping a large colony of young clownfish together in a Harlem style setup with lots of bubble tips but this only works in very large aquariums specifically designed for this and requires regular feeding to minimise aggression. I suggest to just stick with a single clownfish pair in your 55 gallon tank. But you could get some different fish species for tank mates. Good luck with your reef tank 😁
These should be recommended to every beginner looking to start out in the hobby. I've kept these on and off for years and you can't really go wrong with them. My kids sit watching them move the tank decor around for ages. They do prefer quite hard water, but thats about it.
I completely agree! Shell dwellers are a much better beginner fish choice than goldfish, which people often go for. As long as their tank is cycled and has hard water they are hardy, small and easy to breed fish. Their behaviour is so interesting and never gets old to me. Occasionally they have a sqwable about something but it never amounts to anything serious. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 😁
I recently moved mine into a 100x40x40cm tank. The colony is now growing like crazy, it's great!
That sounds amazing! Good luck with your growing shell dweller colony. Maybe I should look into upgrading my Multifaciatus to a larger shallow tank in the near future 🤔 Thanks for watching! 😁
