I bought My first Fish tank & subscribed your channel. I am started watching all your videoa
Thats cool👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Bro your information is fruitful . My doubt is while checking for crystal clear tank whether the tank LED lights should be ON or OFF . Because when I ON the LED and check I'm not able to view the other side of tank clearly . When I OFF the LED and check I'm able to see the other side very clearly .
v you got to turn on your lights and check if there are any cloudiness in the water..
I'm using KENU tank ..it's made of fibre or acrylic not sure . But it's not glass ..will we get the same crystal clear clarity which we get in glass...?
v clarity wont be a problem either in glass or acrylic.. the sturdiness is
Was wondering why you did not post a video about this till now. Finally it's here. Good job
Shankaran R thanks👍🏻
Anna useful vdos alwayz...keep up !!
Doubt: I have a vvvv basic small planted tank (1st time ever). What all easy maintained, hardy fishes can I add ? Fishes whc will not nibble and uproot the plant (hydra etc) . Is gold, Molly and guppies a good combo 4 this tank or else plz please suggest me Anna ..thanks a lot 4 such amazing useful videos
Roshni Priscilla gold will almost eat anything in the tank. Mollies are quite aggressive.. guppies and any tetra varieties can be added👍🏻👍🏻
Hi. I have a brand new 5 gallon / 20 ltr planted tank that I set up exactly 9 days back. It has 3 layered substrate of fine sand, red clay stones and black substrate ( don't know the name). It's lighted and am using a waterfall filter. Currently am doing a fish cycling with 4 guppies. Its has some Christmas moss rocks, some rotala, anubias nana, and one more variety. My water is still very cloudy after 9 days. When enquired in the local aquarium they told me to do a 50% water change every 3 days for 5 times. Then the tank will be clear and I can add fish after the 5th water change. I have done 3 so far. I feed the guppies once a day, about 6 or 7 tiny pellets. I found some of the plants are melting but I also have new ones sprouting. I do find some melted plant particles floating around. The filter is on 24/7 and lights are on for about 4 hrs a day. Am I doing this right?
Bro I interested for marine aquarium in 4*2*2 size tank. What is required for the full set-up?
Hello brother, i have bought a new 100 liters fish tank with top filter attached.. without the knowledge of water cycling i added can water and let some fishes.. within one week all fishes died and i have even added Molly pair..it didn't survive too..and came to know about the water cycle so i did not add any more fishes..i let the tank run with filter, air pump and heater..its been a week now.. don't know what to do.. Please suggest how to proceed from here..
karthik chandran turn off the heater. Check if the water is crystal clear.. if its so then do 20% water change and add fish..
If the water is not crystal clear.. then just add one single fish .. feed it twice n wait for the water to get cycled n then when u think its crystal clear then do 20% water change n add the other fish..
Keep the heater in 26.. turn it on only during night time
@@chennaiaquarium ok the water is Crystal clear..I'll change 20% water and will add 2 fishes.. thanks for the info bro..
I bought new tank and done fish less cycling . After one week put 4 kappees fish but fishes are died within 2 days . Now I want to grow flowerhorn fish .do I need to clean my canister filters are just get down water from tank
venkatesh venky if ur guppies died then there is some problem with your water conditions. May be high temperature or high nitrate levels or it could be anything which caused death to ur fish
@@chennaiaquarium now I want to get down water .
bro I have a L36×W18×H 24 with 8mm glass...can its safe
OUR VLOGS channel kind off 👍🏻
Chennai Aquarium thanks bro
I have had great success with Seachem stability. Since the shelf life is 4 years the bacteria survival rate is high. BTW is that a DIY screen top ? Looks interesting bro
Suren Asokan yes it is a netted top
Useful video. Can I put microlife bacteria in my already established quarium which is 2 months old with 2 kois? My filter doesn't have bio media
Yup
Bro, can u explain the betta fish care & maintenance... And the minimum tank size required
sanjay sridhar sure bro I’ll definitely upload a video 👍🏻👍🏻

Bro I had oranda goldfish tank . My aquriam is 4/3/3 size it produce more waste I. Had big internal filter but water was dusty and cloudy please help bro best filter do biological sponge filter is useful
Sai Vikas bro 4 *3*3 is huge aquarium . You have to go for sump filtration. If not atleast you must use double canisters. Coz the volume of your tank is 1000 litres which is quite huge
Bro for this cycling process I’m added submersible filter already do I need to add air bubbler also???

Bro started a planted tank .it's been 1 month nearly....I do many 30% water change every week .....water is very cloudy ....I'm using canster filter ..but no change ...how to control it...and my water looks like smoke moving in water...after milky water its turns into green water.....I didn't add any fishes and I founds little white worms in the tank
Let me know what is order of filter medias.... Iam using 3 tray top filter
bro i have uploaded 2 videos about top and canister filter media setup. hope that helps you
Bro with what food u feed your discus ?
Excellent bro.... 🙏
Buddy, I bought a small nano tank of 1feet before two months and added plants and fishes to it. It's was good for more than a month. Later after some time in second month water started turning cloudy. And its been three weeks now. I've tried anything and everything avalaible online. But it's still the same. Can you pls guide on how to resolve it. Probably am trying fish cycling. Pls need your help
KARTHIKEYAN PADMANABHAN cloudy water has various reason. If the bacteria colonies are not formed properly. Chances are there for the water to turn cloudy. Any excess food or fish waste can be the cause. If not is there any direct sunlight which hits the tank.
@@chennaiaquarium thanks for reply. No, tank is not under sunlight at all. And am Pretty sure it's bacteria and not algae formation as the color is not green. Also am Trying partially water change of 50% twice a week. Still no Hope. Water turns haze in a day and comes more and more cloudy day by day.
Any solution suggested will be of great help..
@@chennaiaquariumhow to stabilize bacterial colony brother??
@@chennaiaquarium Finally I got rid of this issue. Culprit was the filter suction which was too low in ground and suction all the debris. My shrimps the other culprit who digs out all the gravel and exposed the soil substrate beneath. Hence tank was getting reddish cloudy. Once is made the suction high, issue got resolved.
Anyways thanks for your support. BTW all your VDOs are very informative and you are going very good. Keep up and all the best.
Bro today only I saw this video I have purchased a tank and added fish a week ago and the water is cloudy now. Please help me how to fix it without taking the fish our
Can we use RO purified water ???
Hi ..i bought a 60 gallon tank, petstore people came and installed it from scratch even added the 8 fish 4 comet , 4 koi 2" in size..the filter and gravel and other decor items were used..similar to what you mentioned ..its been 3 weeks now ..i have done nothing but feed them twice daily ..now when do i do water change and filter clean ..i dont want my fish to die ..please advise
Suneel Bhardwaj weekly 20% of water changes is enough.. this should keep going forever.. 👍🏻
Thank you so much ...
Bro...Wat u have used to cover the tank...I can see something done in wood as ur aquarium top. Please explain...
And u missed to tell about the light setup in this video. Pls teme how u fixed ur lights for this tank...

I selected a 60 gallon tank , pet store people came and installed it from scratch even put 8 fish same time 4 comet, 4 koi, on 14th Feb 2018 , it's 3 weeks now besides feeding twice daily we have done nothing ...when to do water change and after how long filter clean ? i dont want my fish to die they look healthy now..please advise
You have to do 20 % water change on weekly basis. Cleaning the filter can be done once a month
What kind of water you used ro or nore water
Hi i'm ur new subscriber.. I am very new beginner for aquarium..
I have done my new fish tank setup yesterday night.. After setup completion i noticed that full tank glass side wall filled with water..So that i tried to remove the air bubbles with my hand and i checked morning, again its filled with full of bubbles and now the bubbles filled with live plants and ornamants also..
Can you please tell me how to get rid of that air bubbles.. It makes me very stress when i look tha tank..
Dhanalakshmi PS so do u use air pump or any filter. Where is this bubble coming from
Bro for 3 ft length * 2ft height* 1 1/2 ft width tank ,top filter is necessary
Cleared many doubts ❤
Thank you
Great video! Where can I get the black tape you've used for the borders of your tank?
Stevie Dass you can get it in Aqua star Kolathur.. its called vinyl sticker
@@chennaiaquarium thanks a ton. I'll call them. I live in Bangalore and haven't done enough research of my local guys here. I'm sure the kolathur guys will ship it if needed?
I am planning to follow dark start method for my 2*1.5*.1.5 liter tank, already added ADA super 4 on bottom of the tank and 15 litter ADA AMAZONIA V2 SOIL FILED.. now water cycling going with canister filter.
I am planning to start planted tank.
How many days cycling needed people telling 45 days. Bcaz soil release the ammonia for 6 weeks.
After 2 weeks i want to remove the water from tank? Or can we add the plant and fish directly to that tank. Need u r inputs.
If we start a tank with dry start and add water then and let it cycle can we add this startup liquid will it affect plants in any way ?????
Praveen Kumar nope it wont affect plants in any way 👍🏻👍🏻
Bro.. can I use API stress zyme+ in my brand new aquarium and start the nitrogen Cycle or must be add API quick start ? Please advise 🙏 tq
Api quick start is better for water cycling
@@chennaiaquarium thanks bro
Bro tell about your tank top because it's simple... I want like this...
Bro pls put a video about how to select the top cover of a aquarium as per the filter type.
Ashok sure bro👍🏻
nitrifying bacteria should be added only before we add fish to new tank and also during water change? I have 10g planted tank and do 50% water change , can i add this solution on every water change day?
Angel fish tank setup solluga anna plz
Butterfly 23 sure 👍🏻👍🏻
which type filter you used for this tank
can you suggest a good filter for 3 and halfx 15" xl8'' tank
babu patten bro currently I’m running a Top filter.. but ill adding canister when i add fish.

Thank you bro

Good n clear explanation francis👍
Bro how to change water for 5 ft arowana tank??
Which water use your fish tank ? Pls reply
RO
@@chennaiaquarium for all fish tanks ?
Shouldn’t we be using test kits to test the water to ensure that it has completed its cycle?
U saying that u only looked at the water clarity,how can that be done? Care to explain?
Guna here fm Singapore 🇸🇬
Thats a good question, so may i know what would you be testing for, wil it be NH3, No2, No3,GH, KH, PH, or Ions for cycling?
So i can explain u as why i dint add those info into this video.
Thanks
I’ll be testing just the “basic” stuffs like ammonia NO2 NO3
Iam sure PH will drop if Cycling is completed,Iam using API master test kit
Bro ,1) Ph wont drop until the levels of Ammonia is high. So there is no co relation between Ph and completed cycle.2) The reason for adding the API quick start is for instant cycling and adding of fish. API Quick Start allows for the instant addition of fish, as it immediately starts the natural aquarium cycle with
beneficial bacteria, which converts toxic ammonia into nitrite, then into harmless nitrate to help prevent fish loss in your tank. 3) So i don't really think the test is required if you add any nitrifying bacteria products into your aquarium.
4) However i have explained in the video though the Products say its instant still wait for a week or more to add the fish.
5) The test is required when you do Fish cycling and when you don't add any kind of nitrifying bacteria products.
Thanks

tks for reply bro 👍

Hi bro,, what type of sand u used,?
ECR Jai bro thats a natural river sand.. which is used for building houses..
Ok thanks bro
Bro we need water cycling for tiger barb's pls say bro
Yup
What to do in marine tanks
Joyson Godwin Api quick start takes care for both freshwater n salt water tanks
hi its been nearly 1 month my 5 feet tank is still cloudy.. i have put 1 wild oscar in that for this cyling process i thought i can add more oscars after 2 weeks when its cycled but its still isnt ...is gravel matters?? coz now tank is bare bottom .... pls explain what can be done for clear water
barani surya bro what i really think is the colonization of bacteria is not developed.. may be you can try adding Api quick start..
@@chennaiaquarium oh ok bro one more doubt my wild oscar poops alot.. it has become pretty big like palm"s size actually i was feeding him optimum cichlid pellets(small pellet size) i havent changed it yet ..actually its eating but immediately pooping 3/4th i feed him within like 10 minutes... its hard to clean the poops on daily basis .. does this pellet size matters for this case??
Nope bro .. by nature oscars produce a lot of waste and i don’t think optimum pellets its a good choice..
Oscars are a carnivore in diet classification.. it would be good if you can provide dry shrimps, fresh shrimps, It will grow fast and the color tone will increase more.
@@chennaiaquarium thank u so much bro happy fish keeping :))
Anytime 👍🏻
Hi bro, Thank you for your support and video. Just wanted to ask you that is it ok to feed frozen blood worms on a regular basis to Discus and Rams?

You have put in the wave maker for this 5ft tank?
regarding filter.. I am building a 5ft tank at home with help from fish shop owner, to replace my 2.5 ft tank.
I am planning for an overhead filter like you showed in other video, (but maybe readymade not available in my village area) and there will be 2 large sponge filters. But no canister filter. Can my fish survive?
I have fish from overcrowded old tank 4 oscars half grown, 2 parrots half grown and 2 dollars fully grown.
If you say canister filter is a must, which model you suggest for 5ft tank and what will be the filter instruments?
top filter
canister filter
wave maker
These 3? or sponge filter also??
I am confused to asking what is minimum filteration required for 5ft tank?
For 5 feet its better to go with canister or sump.. sun sun he 304 would do best
I don't have any products and no any other fish tanks beneficial bacterias without anything we can form bacterias in the fish tank plzz say !!! Because I don't have any idea!!!
Bro a video about how to cover edges of tank

Can we add this product after adding fish bro?
Karthik Babu technically yes.. but this product should be added before introducing fish.. so i tank gets cycled and then u can add fish👍🏻
what is that green fan on one side of the tank?
Wavemaker
Bro please tell me where to keep the wave maker and powerhead in a tank. Should I place both in same place.
Hai I had add old tank media how many day it will take
Dhaya creations 3 weeks is the ideal time.. but you can see the clarity within 2 weeks , provide if your bacteria growth is good enough 👍🏻👍🏻
@@chennaiaquarium one more doubt if I use the same water to new tank + new water arround 60 liter because my old tank was small so I made a new tank the size 1.5*1.5*3 feet is it ok.by doing this can I reduce the time
Hi bro, i have question, If using canister filter with UV so how does the good& bad bacterial growth will be there?In which way the water quality will adapt the fish? Can you please explain about the cycle, That Will be helpful. Thanks
Bro this topic is under debate for ages and there are no proven facts.
According to the books Uv light is meant for 2 purpose. One is control of infections and the other is Algae control.
When it mentions Control of infections it doesn't mean it will kill BENEFICIAL BACTERIA. UV lights are designed in such a way that it will kill Only the FREE FLOATING BACTERIA which passes through the filter.
BEBEFICIAL BACTERIA are not free floating they will always be attached to ROCKS and filter media. If in case any beneficial bacteria passes through the UV radiation stage then it will get killed.
So what we have to do is we can run the UV light for a while and turn off.
So not many or 100% beneficial bateria gets killed. So there might be some beneficial bacteria and thats more than enough to create millions.
However i will use UV light only for a while and i dint find any problem in my tank yet.

Bro how can u say if the water is clear, the bacteria colony is established?? That won't be the right way to identify.. we need to add some ammonia and test it.. this will be the crct approach!!
Bro i think you din't watch the video completely.
If you have watched i would have told i've added API QUICK start and WATERLIFE BACTER.
The reason for adding the API quick start or BACTER is for instant cycling and adding of fish. API Quick Start allows for the instant addition of fish, as it immediately starts the natural aquarium cycle with
beneficial bacteria, which converts toxic ammonia into nitrite, then into harmless nitrate to help prevent fish loss in your tank.
So i don't really think the test is required if you add any nitrifying bacteria products into your aquarium.
However i have explained in the video though the Products say its instant still wait for a week or more to add the fish.
The test is required when you do Fish cycling and when you don't add any kind of nitrifying bacteria products.
However may i know in what form you will add NH3 and what test are you gonna take.

Some species u can keep
I have kept it in a self
Can I add ocean aqua free and product you used at same time?
Sea sand use panalam ? For guppy...
Nope
Now I have a doubt. It's recommended not to introduce any fishes right at the start as there r no beneficial bacteria colony. But isn't ammonia needed initially for the bacteria to thrive. So without fishes how can this done. I do understand there should be some biological activity to create the ammonia.

Bro For fish keeping water plays a vital role. Fish demands water type. So if you have a soft water fish then you have to provide soft water. if you have hard water fish then you have to choose hard water

Bro I have actually ordered Sunsun hw 30w canister filter in amazon .when the product come will it contain the necessary things like sponge etc or additionally I should buy it?and is it gud for 5feet tank
You have to buy the media and the sponge and . HW 304 B is good for 5 feet. the other models like Hw303, 302 are of lower versions and they can be used for tanks like 4feet and 3 feet.
Bro my 5feet tank is cloudy colour when I change water it's good for 3days and again it gets cloudy
Am using the normal power head filter 30w
