  • It's time for Part 2 in The Epic Seahorse and Macro Algae Tank Adventure, with Matthew of My First Fish Tank. We'll go through his process of optimal aquascaping for sea horses (following the rule of 3rds in his last video), as well as prepping sand, and a few water system disasters. We hope you learn a thing or two for your seahorse tank.
    Jump to different parts of his process here:
    00:13 - Start Aquascaping
    03:10 - Prepping ultra fine sand (the kind seahorses like)
    05:40 - Priming the manifold line
    07:11 - Pipe leak!!
    08:04 - Plumbers tape to the rescue
    09:51 - Another leak?
    12:18 - Overzealous input line
    13:54 - Other fun equipment
    14:22 - Putting on the GyreXF330
    14:58 - Attaching Twinstar900 light
    16:20 - Excess sand movement?
    16:45 - Finishing touches

    Best video in the series!! Soo much drama, it felt like someone was recording me and all the mistakes that I make! So enjoyable to see but nobody's perfect. Going through your whole beginner video series.

    Do you still have the seahorses. I enjoyed your video, since we all make the tiny mistakes at first. Great job!

    I heard you say you will never need a heater? How hot is your house? Or maybe this is a outside sun room?

      He has a chiller on the tank for cold water species.

    I think you have too much flow for seahorses. They are really weak swimmers.

    An in-line shut-off valve would have preserved the gravity feed and made the removal of the pump easier with a minimal amount of water.

    Am I first to comment?
    I saw this pop up in my feed. I hope your plumbing issues don't raise their head again!

    • @Rutrag

      Maybe you can add a ball valve on the pump outlet.

    Bad idea keeping chiller in cabinet. Need air flow not recirculated hot air.

      Ya I think in later videos he moved it outside the cabinet

    This is not a premier.

      The same video comes out on My First Fish Tank's and Marine Depot's channel. I think I watched it earlier on My First Fish Tank.

      @@Rutrag That is correct. This chanel just posted recycled content as new content. Perhaps this is "new" content to this chanel, but posting it as a premier is quite a stretch.
