Making a Strawberry-Powered Aquarium (With No Filter)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
- Homegrown strawberries taste sweeter when you don't have to remember to water them. This time I setup a small, cube ecosystem using an old, used aquarium I found for free on Marketplace. After ripping out the factory filter, I let it develop its own biological one, complete with aquaponic strawberries.
Follow along as the fish tank develops the natural way; with no filter, and no co2 injection.
Happy to answer questions in the comments :)

Hahaha! Agreed!!

We will watch your career with great interest
Dude has only three videos on his channel and already makes aquariums better than most aquarium hobbyists on this platform.
“You fail 49 times and succeed on the 50th and it looks like overnight success”
@@sourcandy69just like what Max0r said :
"and I Like the Odds"
Having less videos doesn\t mean he's not just as good or less good than the others. Not all talented aquarium makers have been in youtube for long. There are many out there you don't even know who don't have any channels at all
The soap tells me not. How the heck?
@Loralanthalas he has used glass cleaners in other videos, so it may not be soap. I wouldn't be shocked if it was somebody keepers friend, which is a product that can remove hard water stains form glass and is apparently aquarium safe seeing as sepradesign uses it. Not sure but I wouldn't be blown away if that's what's happening.
Bro joined TH-cam and started casually dropping cinematic masterpieces 😭
My man dropped 3 of the best videos I’ve ever seen then vanished 💔
I’m still thinking about them 8 months later
I want him to post more content so badly!
Cause that's what makes you a legend.
Don't worry he's making content, he keeps us updated if your a patreon member. Making these takes a long time innit?
This man appearing out of nowhere and making masterpiece like that ? You deserve more attention good work
I will copy his work asap! 😅❤.
Thanks lover👍.
He probably has other channels..!!
Yeah! I think so man
Man, that was just like a movie. I didn’t want it to end.
Same💕 perfect balance of engaging and calming
ikr i need the vid to be longer than like 1o min
Those videos have been playing on my TV 24/7 lately.
Amazing background.
I'd say it ended just right. Not too long not too short, definitely don't want it milked to death.
Who's says it has too. #makeitaseries!!!
Can I just say, I’m a professional fish enthusiast. Have been for 20years now. Starting young with my grandpa that owned 2 stores.
This dudes vids are absolutely pristine.
The work, the heart and soul, the intelligence and articulation, and especially the film work.
I hope this stays on yt for ever bc I will refer to this till I die.
SAME -- this and like the terrarium guy are my comfort content 🤗
4:47 "...and inside the tank, there's life everywhere you look" 💗
YES That line was SO AWSOME!
I love the goofy sound effects used throughout these videos, they add a lot of humor along with the witty narration! This channel is golden and deserves more love than it gets!
The drip sound when he dropped the snails in really got me.
The goofy sound effect are just sooo good 🤭
Yes...the sound for the snails going in was the best part! Followed by the sound of the snails licking the glass 😂
Dude the lid idea for the strawberry pots was GENIUS. Only two videos and content this good? You deserve more attention..
I thought it was pretty nifty to reuse the plastic pots :p
"I hate cleaning fish tanks so I'm going to put a tank right by the window where direct light will fill it with algae and ruin the entire tank within a month!"@@tanksfornothin
nice, would love to see an update on this in a few weeks to see how badly this idea failed
@@maybeaspider3456Well someone's hostile.
@@maybeaspider3456I hope you stub ur toe on ur way to cashing in a winning lottery ticket 😌
Give credit to the original strawberry fink tank with no filter ( floo the flower horn)
I'm just imagining this guy's instruction list when someone offers to watch his plants and pets while on holiday.
I really love how you narrated and edited this! The edits and sound effects were charming but not overly flashy or distracting; your narrative tone is very pleasant, a nice meandering manner that sets a nice tone for the video. I'm new to aquascaping and am going to start adding creatures eventually, so I've watched a lot of videos to learn. This one is definitely my favorite. I can't wait to see what else you get up to!
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed :)
No annoying stand-in-front-camera-talking. But, great close-up shots. No annoying intro, but straight to the video. Keep on making videos like this!
Only two videos and content this good? You deserve more attention.
Lmao is this real life?
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 What do you think?this terraria?
Oh he's getting it alright
One must imagine an ecosystem creator happy
The algorithm has pulled a blinder here! Had no idea I was interested in aquariums, but now I want to go build my own ecosystem immediately. Three great vids on your channel, can't wait to see more!
Keep me updated on your aquarium journey :)
dude your videos are so cozy. The atmosphere, the music, the sound effects, I could watch your stuff until the natural end of one of our lifespans
Eerily specific 😂 but absolutely same!!
Dude the lid idea for the strawberry pots was GENIUS
Bless you algorithm this is beautiful and soothing content! Love strawberries and aquariums.
it's so heartwarming to see how nature blooms 😭❤
I have no idea who you are but your exactly what the fish industry needed. Love this fun content! And I love that you mentioned the process of acquiring the tank and that you don’t have to drop a bunch of money to start! This makes the hobby so accessible. I see a whole generation of fish keepers being inspired by your cool videos!
Thank you this is my prime directive
this channel is definitely going to be big, I got a little sad when I saw you only had 2 videos because I was ready to binge watch 100
Ikr?? Same. He uploaded a new one tho, so I’m excited!!
Word! They're heaps good hey!
Bro realest shit I’ve ever seen in my life
me toooo
- 5:46 awe I'm glad to hear you rescued that poor little sick fish 🐟 instead of buying new ones from the pet store. Good job bro 👏🏽 👍🏽 ❤
Simply beautiful, words can't express the joy I see in seeing an aquamarine life forming up right in front of me, when all my years I've been disliking it much so.
If anyone owns house plants or grows veg and owns an aquarium then you need to water you plants with the water when you do a water change. It's an incredible natural fertilizer! Love this video, subscribed and can't wait for more videos
Every drop I change goes right in the houseplants lol
Its done wonders for my plants, as well as my moms and my friends.
@@jacksonwilliams5399 should they really be drinking tank water though? 😀
I cut tops off gallon ice tea bottles to quickly scoop water to plants.
I already know this will be an infamous channel. I love these ecosystem videos and I’m sure a lot of other people do (kinda used infamous in the wrong way but those tanks are EVILLLY good).
fun fact: This is the second video this guy made no joke
Do you know what infamous means?
Why infamous
i know this is a compliment but uh... infamous is pretty negative 😅
Watching these videos sometimes makes me think how cool it would be to be an aquarium fish, living in a nice planted tank, just chilling. No stress, no expectations, just living and doing absolutly nothing lol
"The snails have just been licking the glass, living their best life"
Ah, sounds like my childhood :)
I wondered why the heck this was reccomended to me, now I'm glad it was! I loved the little munches and sound effects, the way you showed how the branch would divide the tank, and how casually informational this was. Never watched a video about fishtanks before this one.
Next thing you know you'll have 10 tanks of your own
The casually informationalness is so great
I absolutely loved the calm, relaxing editing style that is so hard to find nowadays. This whole video was amazing.
I freaking adore the little videogame noises and animations. The frequent little bits of onomatopoeia make me smile everytime
Aquaponic setup with strawberries?
Heck yeah I want one. 🎉
Thanks so much for caring for the Gurami! And the strawberry tank looks amazing!
He's my favourite guy, they're just like cuter bettas.
@WinoaNg-cr5hj Thank you :) He's male! You can tell easily in person because of the spikey dorsal and white/black chest
@WinoaNg-cr5hj Apparently the thing these days is to choose whatever gender you want. If you're a guy though and looking for a cute girl or vice versa - you'd better interview carefully!!!! LOL
@@Leib33Hahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahahahahahaahahahahahahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!! HAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! HA
I can see this video took a lot of effort to make! Please keep it up, we need these videos to keep coming!!🤩
I've got 1000 ideas in the tank ready to go!
Only problem is I ran out of this guys videos to watch :/ Each project is a masterpiece
BROO I LOVE THIS MAN SM. PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS
8:11 really cracked me up
This is a wonderfully made short film. I loved all the great shots. You even managed to get a timelapse of the strawberry growing. Bravo.
That strawberry timelapse was such a pain I had to tiptoe around a tripod in my doorway for like a month which is why it's a bit janky lol.
Thank you and here's to hopefully better timelapses in future!
I thought that too
I didn't find it Janky and was impressed!@@tanksfornothin
I saw your last video and went to check out your channel because the production value was so impressive and you had such a different, funny style compared to most other aquascaping and aquarium focused youtubers and I was shocked to see you've only uploaded twice, but even more shocked at how close together they were! This is a lot of really good editing and your commitment to both the fish and the videos is awesome, instant sub!
Thank you very much! Next video will also be very close (next week) :^)
Agreeeeed, both videos have been just a good time.
@@tanksfornothinneat!
I love the sound effects! Especially the snails!
This algorithm is freaky!! I just moved to the desert from the Midwest....used to grow copious amounts of strawberries and was just thinking about getting back into fish keeping after a 10 yr hiatus. Then voila!! This guy has solved ALL of my problems!!! Dead serious.
Wow. Between the aquascaping, the successful eco system, humour, editing and imagery, you have a NAILED on career in this if you wanted. Please tell me you have 100 more of these that you are going to upload right now!!!!!! 😂 Seriously, fair play on all of the above 👍
I've never been particularly interested in aquariums, but this video was recommended and is simply a masterpiece - I was engaged, chuckling, and smiling the whole time😆 I'm subscribing to see your other masterfully edited videos and unique aquarium ideas. You're an amazing creator of digital content and aquatic habiats!😁🐠🌊🌿
My #1 goal is to inspire newcomers to the hobby. I'm glad you enjoyed and thanks so much for saying so.
@@tanksfornothin Despite having no history with it, you've certainly sparked my interest in it. It also helps hearing Yoshi on every fish opening its mouth lmao
I just moved across country and unfortunately, as much as I tried, I just couldn't bring my tanks with me. I had to get my fish adopted and I honestly miss them all the time. I found this video and it gave me a happy sort of closure. Very well done and thank you.
this guy is so underrated, your editing and over all time you spent making videos is amazing, keep doing what you're doing man!
The little noises the creature make are adorable - can’t wait for next vid x
The editing is top notch, your sense of humor is fantastic, and there's shrimp! What more could anyone ask for??? 💜
EDIT: What do you MEAN this is a new channel????
4D Aquascaping
Also your process is genuinely so well done and results in a phenomenal tank
Not gonna lie, I wanted this channel to be old with like 50 videos I could watch over the next few months, but only three and I've already watched two of them! Now I'm an addict with no supplier...
Only 9 days and already thousands of subs!!! Holy heck thats amazing! You deserve it for giving these animals such an amazing life. I'm very glad that I found you so early!
agreed!
My channel is like a month old and I only have 6 subs
Which are my friends
Mine is like 3 years old and only has 50 lol
what a gem of a channel to stumble onto -- all your scapes are so wonderful! and your video editing is top notch 👌the sounds you add for all the animals really matches them perfectly, you almost forget they're even edited in at all!
massive respect for your commitment to letting tanks cycle naturally, even when it takes some time -- I worked in animal care with a specialty in fish for several years, and i'm currently a water quality technician at an aquarium, and the most painful thing to come across while i'm lookin for chill fish content in my downtime is seeing people fail to resist the urge to be impatient and dump too many animals into a freshly set-up tank all at once. seeing someone do gradual stocking was a pleasant surprise, so kudos to you for that!!
as an aside, i was sooo excited to see chili rasbos pop up in this video! a few years back i had a massive school of em, i got em for cheap cuz apparently they're not as popular as their more colorful cousins, phoenix rasboras, but i loved em so dearly and seeing them all happy and vibrant and colored up nice in this tank was just such a wonderful little throwback for me :''')
keep doing you man!! excited to see what you make next :D
Hey and thanks for your appreciation! Best results come from patience in this hobby, whether it's tank development for fish health, or aquascape refinement for eye candy.
This is one of the best channels I've ever found. The production quality, especially with the use of the macro(?) lenses, all the sound effects and overall calming nature. Oh and the Runescape music is so perfect.
Your editing and sound effects are why this channel is one of my new favorites!
I already know I am looking at one of the best channels on TH-cam right now. Your editing skills are phenomenal and your voice makes it feel like a documentary. Keep going man, love the content. Remember me when you hit 100k :)
I love that "Oi" at 7:21 when you close the lid lol
I love the humor, the creativity, and the projects! Hope to see more from you!
Must be the most satisfying strawberry ever 🍓
Such high production quality! Such excellent story-telling! Such wit and jokes! Such fish!
I am so happy to have discovered this channel. I hope to be around for a long ride.
You just hit my recommended and are already by far one of my favorite tank build/aquarium type channels. I love the drawings when designing the aquascape and the munching sound effects. Keep it up!
This is a masterpiece of cinematography
The camera on you eating the strawberry “mmm. fish poo fruit” was perfect.
Really great video!! You’re clearly very knowledgeable in what you do and it shows. Equal parts informative and relaxing.
Please don't compromise on your video quality in the future because it's amazing 🙏
INSTANT SUB, this is exactly what we need in this hobby. Funny, well-produced (the text that you stuck onto surfaces? I see you mr. editor) and educational content. Crisp audio and a clean camera. Fantastic, dude! You're gonna blow up massively in the next few years
Ha thank you for the specific appreciation.
- Mr. Editor
@@tanksfornothin man the render of the tank, the humor, little details, everything's so clean lol
I just randomly searched strawberry aquarium for inspiration and I love this. So cute 🐟 🍓 🐌 🦐 🍃
Big respect for the amount of time you take to read every comment
👀
The fact that you’ve only posted just 2 videos with amazing quality is soo intriguing, bravo 👏 keep posting cus I’m hooked!!
i love me a dirted tank with no filter. it was a ton of fun watching your videos, i wish you had more.
I hope you never change sir
this is a golden nugget on youtube, actually probably a diamond
This is awesome. Turning a couple of old unwanted things into something fruitful (literally) and beautiful.
I love your low cost, ecosystem-focused approach to aquascapes ❤
I don't think I have ever seen two videos that were so entertaining please release more I need my fix I'm begging you AAAAHHHHHHJHHHHHHH
This channel will have millions of subscribers in no time
Absolute perfection - the sound effects, videography, voiceover, subject matter. I love it all!
Wow I can’t believe this channel only has a couple videos the production quality is so good! I love the little sound effects for the fish and the little fish conversation captions I laughed so much watching. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next!
Fish Poo Fruit FISH POO FRUIT (WHY IS THAT SO FUNNY!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣)
This is a freaking masterpiece!
DUDE! You know how to make a good aquarium. It looked so good I wanted to live in it. Brimming with life. That was fun and exciting to watch. Cheers.
The fact that the tank came with that lid already is so perfect for this build
I don't know how this showed up on my feed, but I am now totally obsessed! This movie was enchanting, from the sound effects and fish personalities to the fish poo fruit. Can't wait for the next one!
Not only does he make awesome content, but he is also ethical about the process too. Love your vids man, keep them pumping! 🤠👌
i believe this is one of the most discretely great editings i've ever witnessed
The runescape music and the lil sound effects really made this video even more satisfying. Subbed 🤙
the sound design in these videos really make them stand out among the rest, along with your sense of humour. love it bro
I looooove this!!! I wish the video could last 30 minutes!! The editing is so funny and your voice is so relaxing! Thank you!
The way you make video's is so calming and entertaining. I was in a bad mood but now I feel some what happy.
Make yourself a tank!
@@tanksfornothin I will ty
Best storytelling and video editing I’ve seen in this genre. Super inspiring.
I actually enjoy cleaning and maintaining my tanks but I understand I’m likely in the minority!
Keep up the great work. Looking forward to more content from you! 😃
Thanks a lot George, I know you like your hairgrass and monte carlo trimming :)
I'll be trying my hand at some more purposeful and photogenic scapes in the near future!
honestly kinda shocked this is only your second video and you’ve already amassed a following! loving these videos they are so well made!!!
You are like dr plants but more aquatic focused, yt really needs content creators like you guys, yt recommendation wins this time.
this is the best fish tank video I've ever seen... it made me feel like I was watching the best of cable TV 20 years ago
please post more new videos, i’ve been rewatching your current few every day 😭
Floo the Flowerhorn vibes, so happy to find someone to watch make new videos
Oh I’m so very excited to see more from you. Your editing is wonderful and the whole concept here is beautiful. Enjoy your TH-cam journey ❤
Just when I thought I'd subscribed to every aquarium/terrarium TH-camr, this boul shows up outta nowhere 🔥
I don't even know anything about aquariums but I'm really into this person's videos haha.
Absolutely love and appreciate the care you put into the editing and presentation of these videos! Phenomenal and whether 3 mins or 30 I feel like I can stay captivated! Keep up the amazing work and hoping to see you grow!
Thank you very much :)
Glad you came up on my feed👌🏼 I’m literally planning on setting up a no filter aquascape this week 🙂 you gave me good inspiration
Use a bit more light than me and you'll get a lot more fruit.
You know when your so inspired by someone, that you create your own channel and give it a go?
This was my first video and I gotta say your editing and video format is fantastic. I'll definitely be watching more
When you said "Mmmm, fish poo fruit" I literally DIED, man, your comedy is on point and I love it haha! Consider me a new subscriber!
I love this, it’s so relaxing and slow for a change
Glad you think so!
I was enraptured....and I love the sounds and the cute words. I cant wait to see the next one!
The editor is a genius and wow i love how you created a whole world in the tank!
