Beautiful, my man. Can't wait to see the tank when it clears up and also curious to see what fills the void left in the other tank now that you've moved so many of its inhabitants over to the 450!
I feel that I just set up my fifth tank a 20 long and went to weeks without adding fish just dosing prime and stability. Finely added 7 Julii Cory’s to start with. Looking to get a couple hillstream loaches if my lfs still has them and then either glow light, cardinal, neon, emperor tetras and possibly cherry barbs instead. I enjoy filling the layers in the tank but I didn’t want to go overboard 😂 it was either 7 Cory’s or a school of one of those so I decided Cory’s are probably better for cycling. I have spare sponge filters in my other tanks so it’ll be getting some established bb today.
Kev, Wow brother that 450 looks awesome those discuss will get so big and fill out in there. You need a few more red head tapajos in that tank. I believe in if it can be done I will try. I have a red devil female in a tank with my green Severum and gold severum and JD female and a green terror and a chocolate cichlid. They all get along great and do have some attitudes every now and than but they don’t hurt each other. I recently added 10 Buenos Aires tetras as dither fish in my 90 ish gal tank. The tetras love it in there and the big cichlids don’t mind them. Appreciate this video man. So what is the 150 turning into? Hmm 😊
In the saltwater world there are many who have micro algae in a chamber in their sump (refugium) you could for example have gubby grass in a chamber to absorb nitrate. Tunze makes a special refugium light and if you have it on at night, the plants make oxygen for the aquarium. it could be a good experiment and maybe even extend the days between water changes.
@KaveManAquatics you are welcome.. I started a saltwater aquarium in October 2022, and a new world has opened up and new thoughts about freshwater 😊 Aquaforest has a product called Pro bio F that can be used to freshwater and it also helps to reduce phosphate and nitrate
Nice dream tank, KaveMan!! I thought of doing the exact same! Have you considered doing africans Cichlids with Discus? Its never been done before successfully!
Good stuff Kev. No one is doing tanks like this on TH-cam w your influence. What dosages are you adding of prime and stability since there isn’t a spike yet?
I think you did fine 😂 I downgraded to a 100lt due to illness and I make more mess than the bigger tanks. I did a big water change yesterday and there was just as much water on the floor
@@KaveManAquatics there is something you may be able to help me with.. How can I lower my PH level.. Its not that far over.. I have tried a PH lower treatment but it's not doing anything.. I don't need to lower it much but I don't know what else to do
Bro I have to ask, both the sump below and the aquarium top are enclosed. How does your tank get fresh air? I am planning to follow your set up so we can use air fresheners at home.
I've watched you for a while bro, from one tank to another to another. You know somewhere in your future your gonna have to get the 1000galn tank. I see it happening. LoL.
Correct. At that point you want to water change to bring those levels down. Then continue Prime and stability daily ensuring you dont go beyond that 5ppm. Great question!
Hello, new to the channel. Love the videos alot... maybe you should mention more often the tank size in litres, so we on the other side of the world can understand the sheer massive tank sizes... 450gal are about 1700 litres!!! Thats insane! Love the videos!! Keep rocking
Hey bro, im at 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and 40 nitrate. Its a saltwater tank. Its only been 3 days since i added water and 2 clownfish and a bottle of fritz 900. Should i do a water change already? My water is also a little clowdy but less than your tank....thank you !
It's different with saltwater tanks as the nutrients added back in are very important. I dont know enough about saltwater yet to be very helpful. Your tank has cycled though so you should get on a regular maintenance schedule now 👍
Discus won’t bother the rays. It’ll be the rays getting on top of the discus by trapping them down and attempting to swallow them in their 0.5-.75 inch mouths from experience The setup looks great
Thanks, in my experience the Discus were harassing my black Diamond. All of them. Even had to remove the ray into his own tank until this one was ready. But yea, I’m keeping an eye out for when the rays turn the table lol
This was so fun to watch Kev! I thought when you bought Blanko that it was Huge until you put Flako in! Flako is the king for sure! Flako looks like he's loving his new friend already! Held my breath when you went to put Flako in!( know what he's capable of!)✈️😁 Tank clearing up well too Kev. Plant's looking great also. Will be interesting to see how they all interact with each other. Thanks for sharing this. So cool to watch! Happy 4th of July!🎆 Enjoy the weekend! ❤❤❤😊
How much substrate do you use per gallon? I've been told 1lb for every 1 gallon.i have a 75-gallon african cichlid tank, and I'm looking at replacing the pool sand with crushed corral.
Hi, I'm keen to learn more about keeping African Cichlids and registered for your webinar. It never started after the countdown ended. 15 mins passed now. Is it still on or?
That sounds very strange! After registration you would have gotten an email with a link to enter the webinar when it begins. No worries though. You'll also receive an email to watch the replay soon. 😊
Hard to say now that I've added all these fish. It will most likely reset as new heterotrophic bacteria will grow while waiting for the beneficial bacteria to catch up and take over. Patience and time will tell. 😊💪
Sinkin awesome!!! Food for thought. A little more sand ( 1 inch) will definitely help with bio load and aesthetic. The rays love to bury themselves on occasion too. Your current is powerful! The awowanas were being blown back a lit...lol. You understand most of us are living off your efforts right..lol. I don't think I will ever get a chance to get a tank that big. Are you going to more Discus in the future? I am generally not a fan but darn they look awesome with your mix of fish! Last,but not least, when the tank clears up it will be a jaw dropper.
Wait! I missed some episodes! When did you switch from using the FX6’s?! Also, major major props for keeping the same facial hair for so long to match your profile pic. Very impressive my friend 😂
Kept discus and arrows together for decades.. I use lots of floating duckweed it retards the arrows a bit from jumping especially when feeding. I’d weigh that top down too..
Hi there I have a question I'm setting up a 140g tank and I put new substrate but the water is very cloudy I did rinse the substrate but it being 3 days and water haven't clear up at all any subjection to my issue

Need 1 more arowana.
Glad to see the 450 coming together. Truly a beautiful tank. Congratulations.
Thank you bro! Glad you like it! 😁
I love how the discus looked pretty big in their old home now they’re just a tiny spec in their new home.
For real!! 🤣🤣
sheeshhhh. once that clears up all the way it’ll be absolute fire 🔥
I think so too! 😁 Thanks bro!
Beautiful, my man. Can't wait to see the tank when it clears up and also curious to see what fills the void left in the other tank now that you've moved so many of its inhabitants over to the 450!
BEUTIFUL!! But just notice how some of your discus are stunt u should definitely get some big size discus in that tank they will look beautiful !
I've been keeping cihdlids for more than 20 years but there is always some new tips ,, great videos ❤
Thanks for watching!
That Albino Aro is Awesome brother 👍👍
Thank you bro 😁💪
Oh my goodness I love the Albino Arowana!!!!!
Very nice! Love the new arowana!
Thank you! 😊
Great video Kev awesome colour keep up the great work you are helping thousands of people 👏
Hi kaveman the 450G is coming along nicely the stingrays the Arowana and Discus looking good in the 450G tank congratulation kaveman 👍
Thank you bro!! Glad you like it! 😁
Hallo Kev,. Really beautiful tank and fish really beautiful enjoyed warching
Thank you Linda! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Oh wow!
I'm getting a 200 litre for my living room next week- nothing like yours but still, I’m so excited 😊😊😊😊
Nice! Congrats on the new tank! 😊💪
Looks good
Congratulations bro tank looks great even with the cloudy water. The fish looks amazing.
Thank you bro! Hopefully my clarity kicks in soon! 😊💪
Looking good sir. Love those Arowana such a graceful moving fish.
Thank you sir! 😊💪
So...I always thought Rays were salt water and arowana and disc were fresh. Am I confused about one or the other
There are both saltwater and freshwater species of Stingray. Arowana and Discus are fresh, yes.
Beautiful tank ! I just got 2 silver arowana that 6-10 inches long, Can you make a short video doing the weekly maintenance?
Congrats!! I've got tons of maintenance videos on the channel 😊

Looking great as usual. Now what's the plan for the 150? 🤔
I love this! Great job!
Thank you! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😁💪

Hell yea happy to see it
Thank you!! 😁
Let's go!!!!! More fish=more awesome
Yes Sirr!! 😁
Dream tank 🥹
Glad you like it! 😁
Quick question.. Are harliquins jumpers as I found one dead on the floor and I am struggling to understand how it got out
I use API Aqua essentials and Quick Start
Awesome video
Good stuff Kev. No one is doing tanks like this on TH-cam w your influence.
What dosages are you adding of prime and stability since there isn’t a spike yet?
Nice well what are you gonna do with the 150 big Kevin. Absolutely beautiful those fish look small in that 450
Tanks look great Kev. As always. Now that the 450 is going, what's the plan for the 150?
What do you do in an event you lose power to your house? What's your backup plan? Have you done a video on this?
I think you did fine 😂 I downgraded to a 100lt due to illness and I make more mess than the bigger tanks. I did a big water change yesterday and there was just as much water on the floor
🤣 Thanks for making me feel better 🤣💪
@@KaveManAquatics 😂 trust me I make a lot of mess.. I just think oh well it cleans up
@@KaveManAquatics there is something you may be able to help me with.. How can I lower my PH level.. Its not that far over.. I have tried a PH lower treatment but it's not doing anything.. I don't need to lower it much but I don't know what else to do
Two Arowana in one tank can be tuff..
Being in a 450 is a big variable 😊
Your fish is looking good
Thank you bro!! 😁
Bro I have to ask, both the sump below and the aquarium top are enclosed. How does your tank get fresh air? I am planning to follow your set up so we can use air fresheners at home.
Creating surface agitation will introduce oxygen into the water. Even though the sump and tank have lids, they arent air tight. Air still gets in 😊
@@KaveManAquatics thank you bro 👍
Aro looking nice brother 👍🏽
Thanks my bro! 👍
How can detritus on the sand travel SO HIGH to reach the overflows into the sump?
I've watched you for a while bro, from one tank to another to another. You know somewhere in your future your gonna have to get the 1000galn tank. I see it happening. LoL.
Where can I buy myself a marijuana? I really like them! Also my tank is new and has the bloom I want it to be clear already 😢
How do you “jump proof” your tank from your arowanas?
Heavy lids 😁
Awesome kev
Thanks bro!
Love it dream tank
Thank you! 😊💪
You should turn the old discus tank to a saltwater reef tank!
You are not the first one to suggest that! 🤣🤣
What temp do you run the tank at? I always thought discus wanted minimum 85 degrees
When's your next live with everyone?
What's going in with the sevs in the other tank?
Right now the plan is more severums...but I havent given it enough thought yet.
@@KaveManAquatics glad your staying with Americans... A nice GT would be lovely and maybe a JD Depending on aggression... That's my dream 🤣
so what happens when ammonia/nitrite go beyond 5ppm? I assume Seachem prime cant detoxify everything..?
Correct. At that point you want to water change to bring those levels down. Then continue Prime and stability daily ensuring you dont go beyond that 5ppm. Great question!
@@KaveManAquatics thanks very much!
Next tanks gotta be a saltwater
Flaco ain’t so Flaco 😂
For real!!! 🤣🤣
Flaco isn't that flaco after all compared to blanco😂
Hello, new to the channel. Love the videos alot... maybe you should mention more often the tank size in litres, so we on the other side of the world can understand the sheer massive tank sizes... 450gal are about 1700 litres!!! Thats insane! Love the videos!! Keep rocking
Either add another arowana or remove one . With only two you are going to see some battles .
Anything can happen, but hopefully not.
you dont quaranteen your fish anymore ?
Dosing the entire tank with the QC. 😊
Hey bro, im at 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and 40 nitrate. Its a saltwater tank. Its only been 3 days since i added water and 2 clownfish and a bottle of fritz 900. Should i do a water change already? My water is also a little clowdy but less than your tank....thank you !

yo Kevin what's the dimension on the 450 bro
96x36x28 😊
way too much flow
Wow.. it Immediately turned into its own world! So amazing! It’s so cool to see how much you’ve been able to accomplish 🎉
I agree! it looked so different to me once the fish were together in there! Glad you're enjoying the channel! 😊💪
I like how you say they are freaking out when we really know they hating!!😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I think the fishkave needs a little bit of goldfish action
🤣🤣
You should stock ur 150 with Gordo the blood parrot and a bunch of little gordos.
Discus won’t bother the rays. It’ll be the rays getting on top of the discus by trapping them down and attempting to swallow them in their 0.5-.75 inch mouths from experience
The setup looks great
Thanks, in my experience the Discus were harassing my black Diamond. All of them. Even had to remove the ray into his own tank until this one was ready.
But yea, I’m keeping an eye out for when the rays turn the table lol
Not to many fish to add at once ? Cause a amonia spike?
Hi I have a quick question. How big do fry cichlids need to be to be placed in the adult tank?
It depends on the size of the adults. I like to make sure the juvi's are at least bigger than half the size of the adults, if not bigger.
Ok well they have more time to grow yet. That’s for sure. Otherwise I’m sure they would be appetizers.
But thank you for your wisdom we greatly appreciate you answering when you have time.
Would you ever throw hundreds of shrimp into the tank ?
This was so fun to watch Kev! I thought when you bought Blanko that it was Huge until you put Flako in! Flako is the king for sure! Flako looks like he's loving his new friend already! Held my breath when you went to put Flako in!( know what he's capable of!)✈️😁 Tank clearing up well too Kev. Plant's looking great also. Will be interesting to see how they all interact with each other. Thanks for sharing this. So cool to watch! Happy 4th of July!🎆 Enjoy the weekend! ❤❤❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it Lori. I'm looking forward to the journey with this tank and stock! 😁💪
@KaveManAquatics Me too as well Kev. 😊❤
lovely just lovely 😍🥰😃
Thank you! 😊
How deep is the 450 from front to back?
Add more arowana two will fight
Dam kev I'm jelious 😅
i have never been pined before❤
Being impatient for a cycled tank comes at a price...$50/$50 bucks a gallon for that Prime/Stability. Good thing that you are sponsored! lol
Deciding to enter this lifestyle of fishkeeping comes at a price too. Everyone saves and splurges where they see fit.
Kaveman always gotta harass the fish 😂😂 I love how he said it lmao love you brother!
🤣🤣 Glad you enjoyed it my bro!
How much substrate do you use per gallon? I've been told 1lb for every 1 gallon.i have a 75-gallon african cichlid tank, and I'm looking at replacing the pool sand with crushed corral.
That equation doesn’t work. It’s about length and width. Tank height increases gallons.
I’ve been trying to get a Discus. My local aquarium shop is been really picky. They’ve had the same 30 or 40 Discus for 2 months
Are you moving the African cichlids to the 210?
The African Cichlids are in the 210 😊
Hi, I'm keen to learn more about keeping African Cichlids and registered for your webinar. It never started after the countdown ended. 15 mins passed now. Is it still on or?

The discus look so small in the 450😂 Beautiful tank Kev! #GOALS
I thought the same thing, lol Thanks Julz! 😁
What’s up Kev, the 450 has really come together. The two arowanas look great together! Keep doing your thing Bro! 👊🏾
Thank you bro! glad you like it! 😊💪
Awesome fish kev thanks for blessing us with another great video before the weekend 🙌💪
My pleasure bro! Glad you enjoyed it! 😁💪
I was doing a water change while watching lol
Do you put something a little more heavy on top on case the fish jump?
I am planning to yes. The arowana can definitely lift that lid if they wanted to.
How long do you think this bacterial bloom will last?
Hard to say now that I've added all these fish. It will most likely reset as new heterotrophic bacteria will grow while waiting for the beneficial bacteria to catch up and take over. Patience and time will tell. 😊💪
Awesome tank Kave man. I used bio booster bacteria to help with setups of new tanks . Fluval brand works really good.
Why are you using prime instead of safe?
Ran out of Safe. But normally I would use Safe in this size tank.
Very nice brother ,greetings from Serbia 👍🥂
Thank you bro! 😊💪
@@KaveManAquatics love watching your channel bro ,you are the best.

I almost got a arowana from pecto. Thing was like 5”…. Then I remembered they get huge… and my 55 gallon definitely would not help.
Interesting that your not to worried about quarantine 👍
Im treating this entire tank with the QC 😊
Ahhhh 👍
Surprised you didn't use Safe Guard during this big add & transfer of fish 🐟😁. But I'm glad it worked out 👌🏾
The discus look so small in that massive tank. Easily one of the best tanks I’ve ever seen. Makes me want to upgrade
Blanco is MAJESTIC!
How's the sump working out for you? Any regrets? Love show from uk.
