Excellent info! I bought out a gentleman’s fish room a few years ago and received the best piece of driftwood! I used to complain about the tannins it gave off but I never had a sick fish!!
First time watching one of your videos. Your aquariums are so beautiful!! I hope to have aquariums that look like these one day
Nice
Mark could you do a video on getting your RO water ready for the tank I am thinking of keeping Altums but in all my years keeping fish I never used a RO love your vids
That reminds me that I still haven't got round to ordering more leaves from Thailand - I normally get 3000-4000 at a time and I'm out of the large ones at present which is why I haven't got any on the website and also why I sent you that big bag of leaves which came the wrong size.
They are very good for shrimp and blackwater fish.
Do you have a website?
I have seen on other sites that the tannins are supposed to be good for the fish.
Hi Mark, i breed angels and put these leaves in with the fry, much better than adding chemicals. I've read that you can also use oak and maple leaves, what do you reckon. I also use boiling water on my leaves which i believe helps reduce mould growing on the leaves.
I love the tannins in my shrimp tanks
Thanks😁
Great video thank you Mark. I know what is in the tank 3 fish 🐟 lol 😂. Frank is looking brilliant. I'm a Pratt 🤔🤔😀
Damn it!! I knew you'd get it 👍😀
Is it good for guppies too?
Hey Mark! How would you go about preping fresh Indian almond leaves for a shrimp tank? or should i stick with the browning leaves? (I've got a couple huge trees in my area)
Hi Ryan. You could steam or boil them and soften them up and feed like that. Thats very handy having your own free supply 👍😀
Hi Mark, I'm looking to keep crystal reds in the near future. I am currently looking into using RO water and was wondering how you maintain a stable pH if your KH is 0?
Hi Brock. If using RO water you will have to re mineralize it before use. You can use different substrate, wood and almond leaves to change and stabilize ph.
Mark, you mention anti-fungal properties of the Catappa leaves. You also said "antibacterial." Is there any danger of it killing off my nitrosomonas and nitrobacter?
No it harm those. 😀👍
Charlie Hobbs from Bellflower California here. Question Mr Mark I have a piece of wood I've been soaking for awhile now for my fish shrimp tank. One cool piece has a burnt side. Will the burnt side of the wood harm the shrimp/fish?
It will be fine . Just jet wash the black brunt bits off .
What is that tank to the right? Its beautiful.
Mrs. Wiggles Wiggles That's my mini pond . There's a three part video on how I built it on here check it out 😀
What a man cave, loving all your videos. Can I ask, how long does it take a Red cherry from birth to breeding maturity?
Hi. About 3 months. 😀👍
Mark it looks like you could put about 4 bettas in the kitchen tank
You put prawn meat in tank but do you boil it first.
Can I ask about TDS pens please? I bought one off eBay. It doesn't auto calibrate or have a manual calibration setting. Is this ok? Or should I pay for a better meter? If so...could you recommend any please?
Hi. You could take it to your local fish store and check it against one of theres first. But the best thing to do is buy one that you can calibrate so you can get spot on readings. There's is a lot out there and they vary in price .
MARK'S AQUATICS thanks mark. Just been looking on Amazon for one I can calibrate. Needle in a haystack :/
Found one! 👍
Only dried leave(brown) can be used ?
Mohamed Rifai Hi. Yes only dry leaves 😀🖒
Have you ever tried using white oak, or other hardwood leaves?
Yes oak leaves are fine to use. And alder cones.
@@MARKSAQUATICS Thank you. I have both growing in my yard.
just wondering... if you have a sick or injured fisk -can the tannin water be used as a medicinal bath?
Yes It works well for fin rot .👍😀
Super, lets hope I won't need it. Thank you :-)
Frank is beautiful!

Do you know if Sycamore leaves are ok because they look very similar to Norway Maple

Pea puffers would be pretty good for the aquascape - maybe 6-8?
Good idea I'll put that on the list👍😀
OK I couldn't find anybody that said within that tank! Is it a Betta?
Yes its my female betta.
MARK'S AQUATICS thank you so much! What do I win a big smile from you? I was looking for the video that said what it was and I never found it. Thank you for telling me because yeah it was bugging me! I really like to see her what's the name of the video that you showed her? I have seven males! Each one in a 3 gallon critter keeper Twice a week water changes are killing me 😂 that's not to mention my two 50 gallons, my 35 gallon Hex my 20 gallon and my two 5 gallons of fish! I just started this hobby seriously in July i've had a feeder goldfish that's grew huge why I ended up with bigger and bigger aquariums because he outgrew everything he was in. Then I found a home in a pond and continued with the hobby I love it
😀 I never really did any video of her, she sadly passed away about 3 weeks ago 😞 but had a good life. Sounds like your getting hooked on the hobby! I've been in the hobby for 40 years and I'm still love it.👍😀
MARK'S AQUATICS so sorry that you lost her. Yeah you said next video you'll show what is in there LOL so I looked and looked and couldn't find it. Again so sorry about you losing her. How did you happen to end up with her?
I can give amond levels from sri lanka
Do you have a shop and if do you ship
Hi Keely.No I don't have a shop but if you want indian almond leaves you can order them from filterpro.co.uk👍😀
MARK'S AQUATICS thank you
