Loving the way this tank looks in the corner of the room and the white clouds look great in there and are coloured up so well so are clearly happy. Love the bendy light aswell.
That planter DIY aquarium is brilliant! Ricefish, guppies, endlers, mollies, and platys will eat all that biofilm off the top. I think some plants like bacopa and others can help as well. Nature has so many ways but at the end of the day she has her ways. Its all in the water and the air theres something to balance it unless started off like a clean petri dish. Mature petri dishes aka an aquarium with beneficial bacteria will take care of the the ecosystem and beneficial bacteria happens by itself naturally. Its in the air and water. Less we sterilize the better for nature. Congrats on the baby fish! Thats always exciting! That tank water with all the small organisms in it is perfect for those babies :) The lighting is fine with what you are using but water changes can grow the plants like crazy!
That's a neat little tank! I want to add some pond plants to my scape. Question: Do you trust those test strips? I compared the results from the API strips to what I got from the API master test kit; the strips read 0 nitrate, but the drops came back around 20ppm. 🤔
Its hard to say, its way easier to have issues with the liquid test kits imo, (amount of reagents added, exp. dates, mixing, etc.) Go with your gut, and or do more tests is the only way to know
Um...I'm no expert but when you spray hydrogen peroxide underwater, when you release the trigger wouldn't the tank water get sucked into the bottle and contaminate it?
I've been looking at Legit foods, I just had one question; would the nano food be suitable for egglayer fry (goldfish, cory cat, barbs, the like)? Lookin' to expand their selection of food beyond brine shrimp and a small variety of fry foods, and I'm not sure if it's a good option for them or not. Thanks in advance.
soooo for the all of the nano to be eaten, your fish will have to be about the same size as a 2-3 month old guppy, that seems to be the cut-off roughly. There will still be a lot they can eat, just not all of it (there are some slightly larger pellets in there. Still working on a true fry food, one day! cheers :)
forget to mention, look at the samples we have! www.legitfishfood.com/collections/fish-food/products/legit-fish-food-free-samples hope this can help :)
@@AQUAPROS Ah... Well, alrighty then. I'll keep an eye out for that fry food if/when you release it. I was planning to place an order here soon. I can give the samples a shot. Even if some of my fish don't like a certain kind, I've got others that most likely will.
So I’ve had my tank for 8 months and I can say that even if you have no nitrate or nitrite you can definitely have ammonia. Water drop test kits are also way more accurate and reliable than test strips
I've been keeping and breeding various fish for well over 30 years and I have never had a very different result with a test strip than the full test kit. Maybe the pH drop test is slightly better to get a very accurate result but most people don't need to know the difference between 7.1 or 7.2., it's too small a difference to matter. A lot of newbs read a version of your comment all the time and don't have the money for a full test kit so don't test their water OR they get a test kit but feel it's complicated so they don't test their water enough. Test strips are cheap, quick and easy and absolutely reliable enough for 95% of people.
I used hydrogen peroxide in my tank that has tonnes of Monte Carlo, and it caused severe burning to the plant mass everywhere it made contact. It turns out that Monte Carlo is especially sensitive to peroxide- I was really surprised to see you using it on your Monte Carlo trees without mentioning that.
5:30 .... combat surface film? like .... why bother with a chemical ....? just skim the surface with a container, i wouldn't put peroxide in my tank, it might not hurt, but its not gonna make the balancing act any easier. surface films aren't unhealthy, excessive film would be, but the amount you showed .... yea i wouldn't bother fixing that no one would notice, and i def wouldn't start putting chemicals in my tank because of it, for a highly experienced, habitual keeper, yea maybe you could nip bud with the film by using peroxide early, but the rest of the internet is surely going to take this method out of context. removing the film is far easier than dissolving it just like letting the chlorine evap is easier than converting it using stater bacteria. nitrates are over rated your tank can have a good amount of them, my goldfish tank used to be over +200ppm, overstocked, never had surface film, water was crystal clear, didn't smell that bad (imo, no sewage smell) but i barely had any plants in the tank. so if you can keep the nitrates from stacking up, keep the pH neutral, and keep the mosquitoes out of it. then you don't worry about anything else :)

Thanks LERB! you da man ;)🫡
“Ammonia is the hot chick at the party” 😂 Excellent wisdom.
Didn’t get any written complaints 😂😂 love those kind of humor hits … just thought it was funny 😊

I havnt had that issue, ill look into it...
13:13 I saw it!!
It was real!!!!
What is your favorite substrate for planted tanks?
Probably a black or brown contosoil, smallest size. Just depends on the plant selection and color i think would match
Is it like Fluval stratum, hard to get plants to stay in the substrate until it sets up?
Garden soil. Tablet ferts. Emersed growth and weekly water change. No co2. No filter. Let it be.
i like your cosmetics
5:30 .... combat surface film?
like .... why bother with a chemical ....?

then you don't worry about anything else :)
what the holy fuck is that batman? lol im so happy and confused
