I guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the account password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Terrell Wayne i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
What a nice tank set up for your betta. Thanks for sharing how you moved him to his new tank! We luv betta's too and we have to do the same thing soon; moving to a new tank. Currently have 4 males; 2 in their own 10 gallon tank and 2 in their own 5.5 gallon tank. Upgrading our 2 males in the 5.5 gallon tank to their own 10 gallons soon; don't want our betta's to have tank envy ;) just to be clear, we have only one male betta per tank, incase that was confusing to anyone
Nice video fella. I'll let you in to a little secret where the water comes in before it goes through the sponge filter I've put an air stone along with moving bed Media (k1 standard size) it's world a treat for me. All the best mate 🇬🇧✌️
I got this tank and thanks for your video. I’m having problems with noise of the pump. It’s making the lid of my tank vibrate and the pump is loud in running. I made sure pump wasn’t touching the tank and I put a sponge under the pump. Is your pump loud? If so can you recommend a quiet pump for this tank?
I have not had any issues with my pump since purchasing the tanks. Typically a dirty propeller and clogged internal sponge will cause this issue. I highly recommend removing the pump, disassembling and cleaning it thoroughly and see if your noise is still there. Regardless if it’s new or old
After you started the new tank I didn’t see you condition the water let alone put heater in to warm the water right from a hose. Esp for betta’s that requires warm water…? Was this something you did immediately after the video?
Have the same aquarium at home, it holds temperature really well so your betta will be very happy. Just wondering if you'll be using an air pump with your new setup? Haven't installed one yet in mine as all the LFS are sold out of the one I'm trying to purchase plus the postal system is a nightmare right now ^^'.
Isabelle Rue I haven’t decided if I will add air or not yet. Most likely I will eventually just for some extra. But I plan on adding a lot of plants as well to make up for the oxygen levels. And I’m confident the flow is sufficient. I just aimed one of the output nozzles towards to surface to give the surface alone more turbulence for oxygen exchange while the other circulates the lower portion of the tank
That’s a great question and I would assume yes you could do that. But being I haven’t tried I cannot guarantee it. What I do is it’s off all day while I’m at work. After I get home I turn it on then turn it off before bed
Exactly! It’s an added benefit of having more media. Plus the media is already cycled with bacteria’s so it’s also a great way to instantly kickstart a new tank by using old filtration/media.
Is the wire from the filter supposed to be exposed to the water? If so let me know that it should be in the water. If not please inform me how else you should do it!
does algae develop back on the filter chambers walls? is it hard to clean algae on those chambers walls for monthly maintenance? Thanks for any answers
Great question! I can’t tell if it’s algae for sure as it stays dark back there. But some mulm definitely builds up. Start with bottle cleaning brushes that I buy from Amazon in the first chamber. Then I syphon out all the stuff that settles. Then I clean the sponge. The filter/heater side doesn’t seem to get any buildup in it. I assume anything that gets in there just gets sucked up and spit out the spray bar. Then I syphon the rest of my water change as I clean the tank.
Charcoal aka carbon is there to pull out unnecessary minerals. In a tank with live plants, the carbon will suck out the fertilizer added to feed the plants. The same applies to medications. Always pull your carbon prior to medicating fish as the carbon will just suck it all out of the water column
No actually. With the plakat style bettas, they don’t seem to be bothered by it at all. I could see how a long fin style would have issue tho. I have a buddy who 3D prints low flow spray bars for these tanks as well as a bunch of other mods/accessories as well such as lid props to hold the lid up while you clean etc.
Looks good! The fluval flex is a cool looking tank. Gorgeous blue betta.
Poseidon’s Pets I agree I love the design of them! Thank you! Yondus a handsome fella!
And what a good life he has!

I’ve got the fluval spec v and just ordered the flex for my betta and this was super informative, thanks for showing the whole process.
No problem! Glad to help :)
Loved your video on fluval flex 9😊
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad I found your setup, very helpful!
You’re welcome

Thanks for watching!
Yonda is gorgeous 😍
Thank you! Unfortunately he passed away due to tumors 😔 downside to marble bettas
@@AquatikGuru Oh I’m sorry to hear.
It happens unfortunately. I’ve gotten used to it. They’re just such beautiful bettas, so I try to give them the best life possible
Just got my flex as well, 9 gallons. Took a long time to get as well but excited to set up
I hope you enjoy it! I love the way they look and how they show off everything inside it as well!
Nice tank I have the same one 👍 can't wait to see what you do with it
Cloud 9 Aquatics thank you!

Works.....
After you started the new tank I didn’t see you condition the water let alone put heater in to warm the water right from a hose. Esp for betta’s that requires warm water…? Was this something you did immediately after the video?
What I actually do is I measure my tank water and equalize it at the hose. Hopefully 2-5 degrees cooler to enact a rain fall.
As far as conditioner I added it directly in the tank. Must have clipped that section out by accident
Wspaniałe akwaria boże ogółem.
That female betta looks like it comes from an anime haha
Lol
That's a really cool-looking beta what kind is he?
I'm asking cuz I think I have a betta like that but he's a baby
meg grotte it’s a marble half moon plakat. He started white now is completely blue

Just saw your review vid for both and came here, great videos!
Do you know if the lights will work with a timer?
That’s a great question and I would assume yes you could do that. But being I haven’t tried I cannot guarantee it. What I do is it’s off all day while I’m at work. After I get home I turn it on then turn it off before bed
Thank you for this video. I just got the 15 gallon. Do I need to rinse it out first?
Absolutely! Always rinse it out first just to remove any foreign contaminants
I just got this tank, was on sale
I love the flex’s. Super cool tanks and they make the scaping pop due to the glass shape.
New to the hobby. Why did you add the extra bio media? What was just benefit? For the good bacteria from the other tank?
Exactly! It’s an added benefit of having more media. Plus the media is already cycled with bacteria’s so it’s also a great way to instantly kickstart a new tank by using old filtration/media.
$100 where ? They are $180 where I find them
At the time. You gotta look at the date of videos lol.
Is the wire from the filter supposed to be exposed to the water? If so let me know that it should be in the water. If not please inform me how else you should do it!
Of course it’s supposed to be exposed to the water. How else would you put the pump at the bottom of the chamber.
Okay, thanks. Thats what i thought. Just wanted to make sure before i do it.
That makes sense :) thanks for asking :)
:D

you don't let your tank cycle before adding plants?
No I don’t, I add cycled media from other tanks.
When it comes to maintenance on fluval stratum do you gravel vac normally like you do with gravel or you don’t ? How do you clean it
Yes I do gravel vac it. Only I use a small syphon or I slightly pinch the hose so I don’t suck up the stratum, just the dust from it and waste
Stainless steel safety wire works good for plants that don't stay down
Great idea!
@@AquatikGuru and it don't like the lead
Cool! Is the pump quiet?
Yes very quiet in my opinion
So the charcoal not good for live plants? What is its purpose?
Charcoal aka carbon is there to pull out unnecessary minerals. In a tank with live plants, the carbon will suck out the fertilizer added to feed the plants. The same applies to medications. Always pull your carbon prior to medicating fish as the carbon will just suck it all out of the water column

was tat the fifteen gallon or nine gallon fluvial flex
9 gallon
thanks 😌
What kind of anubias is that?
To be honest I’m not 100% sure. It was given to me
Hi
Where i can buy it in israel
I’m not sure honestly. You could check eBay or a google search.
