Have been trying to get my hands on some Subwassertang all through Covid to try and emulate what i see, and "like" in your tanks, finally have some on the way and you share your method, your timing is impeccable in my case, THANX for doin' what you do !!
Howdy from Texas ! those bricks with all the small holes are really cool. here bricksonly have 4 larger holes and do not provide all those hiding spots . love the content Mark
@@MrsBJPalmer i have a new 55 gallon , I'm thinking of stacking the back of the tank with bricks , and super gluing some windalov java fern babies on it . then loading the tank with cherry shrimp
@@thehairywoodsman5644 be sure to re-enforce the bottom of the tank with Plaskolite under your substrate! It will even out weight distribution and prevent the bottom pane of glass from cracking
I love this video, thanks for taking the time to make this content. following you for a while and will continue. good vibes from me and my shrimp to you and yours. saludos desde Costa Rica
@@VonHoff6 It doesn't take much! I find low light better. Before you know it will have grown/multiplied so much. I started with maybe a 2oz size less than 2 yrs ago. It's at least 10x the size now. I use leaf zone in the tank occasionally
I have some subwassertang on the way with a bunch of other plants, now I just need to find a nifty brick with holes in it. You da man Mark! Thanks for doin what you do!
Haha, now I have an idea for the extra plant from my subwasstertang ropes- which started with a portion from your tanks! I have masses and masses of the stuff now. Also I am an aquascaper and I use subwassertang in most of my tanks- happy shrimp makes a healthy tank!
273 likes now, but still only 37 comments? I’m surprised there aren’t more questions! Like, what’s for dinner? NETTLE MIX over here😄 nettles for everyone!! Great video! Thank you sir for your lesson and refresher in making subwassertang brick balls! They look stunning as they grow in!
I feel that intro. Back when I was making content for my channel(don't look, you'll hate it, seriously.) I lost my audio at least twice and it was an uphill battle to recover it.
@@MarksShrimpTanks my subwasstertang is starting to turn brown or melting in my new setup thats busy cycling, is there anything i can do to prevent it from going further or dying completely....i currently run no ferts and low/med lights
I love your videos but would like to know if this is a slow grower or does it grow fast. I just got some subwassertang but can't find out if it's a fast or slow growing plant. Thnks & hope you'll answer my question.
I would love free shrimp food. I am just starting out with shrimp. I just set up my 20 long for them. I hope they will breed for me. I bought a breeders culls. They where very tiny little shrimp when I got them. They had no color.
@@MarksShrimpTanks oh I just checked its marks-shrimps on ebay from Edinburgh I just thought thats a weird coincidence lol I'm glad I found your channel anyway pal 👍
The majority of bicks where i live are made from clay with rust added to them to give them that extra red color. I have a 3d printer and i only print with petg food grade filament anymore (Petg is really hard to get it to leach any chemicals at all into water, it really doesnt want anything to do with water almost like oil). I could probably print similar structures and so sometimes similar. Only downside is it might float 😂😂😂
The red is from Iron which is safe in a shrimp tank, in fact plants do very well with iron.my next diy filter will be from clay pots so watch out for it when I eventually get around to making them.
I just gave it a wash under the tap, these were old unused bricks from when this house was built about 15 years ago so they were well weathered outside.

I’ve finally gotten my subwassertang looking almost as good as yours. Been an inspiration for years! Keep up the great work Mark!
You may just be in it for the shrimp but I have always loved your ideas with subwassertang. You are diffinitly a subwassertang king.
It's practically a Shrimp apartment building with a garden roof Nice
lol those emoji !!
Hello from Johannesburg, South Africa 👋🏻🌍🇿🇦
Love the video! Thanks for going into detail to show how to properly attach plants to hard scape and teaching a hammock knot
Love your videos. Greetings from Sri Lanka ❤️🇱🇰
Thank you very much!
Howdy from Texas !
those bricks with all the small holes are really cool. here bricksonly have 4 larger holes and do not provide all those hiding spots .
love the content Mark
Our bricks usuall 6 holes, I have seen 8. I'm going to use the 6's for the nano fish tank. Thanks for the idea, Mark!!

I’m overrun with subwassertang so always love these videos!
Me too! I think I might dehydrate some and add it to some food to see if they eat it🤓
Any tips on getting fast growth?

You answered my questions about bricks on the live stream. Now you give details! I appreciate this so much. Thanks a bunch, Mark!!
You are so welcome!
Hi Mark. Love your shrimp.
Loved the sewing lesson :D!
I have some subwassertang on the way with a bunch of other plants, now I just need to find a nifty brick with holes in it. You da man Mark! Thanks for doin what you do!
love your vids. Hope to have my shrimp grow up to be as good as yours. :)
I hit that LIKE button Mark :) so hit me with some shrimp food
great video :D
Thanks!
I have a lot of the stuff, but it just sits there. Yours looks great.
Mine always does better on an active soil if that helps you any ?

I think I will make a few ropes and add them back to the big tank, they did look nice.
All Brick no Balls Haha, nice video, thanks Mark
disgusting !!!
I need to get me some of those bricks!! =) very cool and simple idea now to find those...
Glad you like them!
Thank you Mark, now I will also have HUGE BALLS.
Have fun
Shrimp are going to have a field day with all those hidey holes.
Never had subwassertang but as much as your shrimp love it I’m sure mine would too ❤️
Thanks alot Mark great advice!

Awesome mate ‼️👀🔥
Another great vid. How's your back doing?
its been good today, I just have to watch I dont overstretch or lift anything heavy,moving at snail speed helps 😂
Thanks friend
Any time
I feel that intro.
Back when I was making content for my channel(don't look, you'll hate it, seriously.) I lost my audio at least twice and it was an uphill battle to recover it.
Tell me about it, over the years I have made loads of videos with no sound at all 😂
Hi Mark
Where do you get those ceramic rings from
I cant seem to find them anywhere i denmark
aquacadabra in the UK
do you dose any ferts at all for the Subwassertang? ive heard its not needed
I dont use anything 👍
@@MarksShrimpTanks my subwasstertang is starting to turn brown or melting in my new setup thats busy cycling, is there anything i can do to prevent it from going further or dying completely....i currently run no ferts and low/med lights
Why not just call it süßwassertang?
But what a cool thing that is! I want to try that out with my excess Java moss, too!
Because I am not speaking German?
@@brundlefly45 You can call it what you like, I will call it what I like
I love that plant. So neat looking.
Hi, Mr Mark's... How to grow an marshmallow moss on shrimp tank? (Minutes @12:57)....
Thank you, hope you reply me... 😉😉
Oh this came when I was using Vin products to start the tank.
I love your approach, sir

I heard it, you were dropping the German pronunciation. 👍 Nice video! All the best. Roland
I love your videos but would like to know if this is a slow grower or does it grow fast. I just got some subwassertang but can't find out if it's a fast or slow growing plant. Thnks & hope you'll answer my question.
it loves clean soft water and it grows about 15-20cm in diameter a year.

Isn't that amazing how many people got inspired by Marks subwassertang and got it in their tanks? (Myself included)
So ordinary sewing thread is ok to use ?
Yes thats what I use 👍
I'm pretty sure I ordered snails from you last night lol. Now I find your channel randomly
Hello mate, I dont sell snails 🥴🥴
@@MarksShrimpTanks oh I just checked its marks-shrimps on ebay from Edinburgh I just thought thats a weird coincidence lol I'm glad I found your channel anyway pal 👍

Maybe I missed a video... How do you clean the brick of bacterial contamination, and soften edges so shrimp dont get scraped up?
I just gave it a wash under the tap, these were old unused bricks from when this house was built about 15 years ago so they were well weathered outside.
sorry, may i ask, what is in the 2nd tank? and what is bombinos?
Hello, the 2nd tank had galaxy shrimp in it Bambinos is just a word for baby or children :)
