Use ground egg shell with your salt for both GH and KH. I use the Salty Shrimp KH/GH with 5 gallon jugs of RO water. Its cost effective because I have deep sand substrate over dirt, planted tanks and rarely do water changes.
@@AQUAPROS I was out and about with the wife at I think home goods when I passed by one grabbed it and brought it home. I crush up the adults flake foods or pellets with it and store it in an old fish food container. Now I don't have to wake up earlier to thaw frozen foods out and just add a dab of crushed flake in.When I get home at night I can thaw some food out and take my time and relax with them.
@@shannarafryer3111 that never crossed my mind. I use one for grinding up shellac flakes. Does a fantastic job. I'm guessing flakes of fish food would be almost the same thing. Good idea!!
Loving that you are so into the Medaka fish now, they really are incredible fish. Mine are still outside in their various tubs here in the UK but I will bring them inside at some point soon, they are still enjoying the Autumn sunshine.
@@AQUAPROS they could cope with pretty much most of the winter here but the last couple of years the temps have dropped right down and the tubs would freeze and I would be concerned the whole tub could freeze. It’s no bother to move the tubs into my conservatory, I still keep it pretty cold in there so the Medaka still get their cold months but without me having to worry about losing them.
When your running multiple sponge filters off one pump make sure all the tubeing is the same length, “even if it means some are extra long” having a 2” tube for the sponge closest to the pump and one 4-5” away will definitely make it hard to balance the airflow.
To save your dino you could paint on a layer of resin or if not patient you could get some clear spray on acrylic to lacquer it with. Both are UV protective and waterproof.
Ya so I sprayed a thin layer of matte clear enamal already, problem is the areas that are already chipping seem unaffected.... feel like my only option now is to coat it (paint on) a thick layer of polyurathane or something????
I would use clear liquid latex instead of resin or epoxy. As these will degrade over time. the latex will/may yellow over time, but the Raptor is green, so it would add a cool effect.@@AQUAPROS
Your rice fish set up looks good. I have 6 orange rice fish. This summer I will collect any eggs. I really enjoy them. They look back at me, come to the front of the tank and have blue eyes. I do weekly water changes.
Thank you so mucb for aharing your aource for rice fish! Where i am most people only have one type and I've been looking for more variety. Think i might add some in with some of my shrimp breeding tanks, i had a few babies that got transferred over to my shrimp tanks with some floating plants as well. They fed on a lot of the planaria, and seed shrimp when they were large enough to do so but luckily didnt bother any of my baby shrimp! Going to try it again i think with some adults and see how it goes!
Thats tight! Jacksons Medakas are all super high quality, hes one of the only *legal* importers of rare Medaka from Japan. Great source for some unique fish 😎🫡 def check out his IG and the club he runs 😁
Krylon clear coat for the raptor, I use it on my outside decor and many other things. It comes in a spray can super easy to use, spray in an airy place and do a couple coats every 20 minutes. You can even coat it with modpodge before the krylon but let it dry real good. Good luck!
im using some old piece of junk I got from petco a million years ago... Its def too weak for what im doing/ if I were to add a couple more tanks like im planning. Im not really sure what would work better other than one of thoes industrial ones that large scale rooms use... im doing research to find out what will work best for me, ill be sure to update in a video soon!
@@AQUAPROS thanks for replying! The only one I know of is the piston pump that Aquarium Coop recommends on their website. But that would be TOO big for a project this size.
@@JordanFlocken yaaaa thats what I was talkin about, but ive seen little ones... i think i might have one layin around actually... gotta go through some tubs... ill try and let ya know!
Is there any real concern with budding up the rimless tanks next to each other? I've heard anecdotal stories about tanks cracking because of slight movement/bumping glass on glass.
I use adjustable pepper grinders, toss in a mix of foods, and adjust the fineness of the grind as you need. Many come with caps so you grind in the cap to see and control how much you feed. =) They sit on a shelf and look nice plus you can slap some stickers on them too. I got one at work with a @LegitFishFood sticker on it. =)
Its great to see everyone looking so good and happy. With the yokazura when kept in a clear or white container they will have the look you showed here, silvery with the silver/muti color lame but if kept in a dark color container like black they will turn a black color and their lame will be more purple (how they got the name). It happens almost instantly. Would be a cool experiment to try. Also you were right with the medaka fry call. I had to laugh when the graphic came up because thats what i was saying to myself. Hahaha Looking great brother. Keep up the good work. 💪💪💪
I've heard people say that tanks can crack if you put them right against each other. Could be just a baseless rumour but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

@@nathananderton8546does your ph drop after moths with your planted tank? Mine went from 7.8- 5.5 In 4 months. Do you know why?
Mortar and pestle makes making baby food way easier. Toss a bunch in and grind it to dust and dump into a container.
Ya, thats a good idea, better than hitting a plastic bag with a hammer...iv never tried that....🤪😉😉😉

Or an electric coffee grinder to be even easier

Very nice set-up! To me, your project here is not only inspiring, but motivating.
Loving that you are so into the Medaka fish now, they really are incredible fish. Mine are still outside in their various tubs here in the UK but I will bring them inside at some point soon, they are still enjoying the Autumn sunshine.
I bet they are! They can totally stay out all winter over there if you want to right? Think are climates are similar?

@@marcuswhitmore6622 ya i feel ya, better safe than sorry! Its easy to forget about em out there i bet... 🤪
Any videos on those breeding mops? Home made or bought?
I really like how they bag their fishes .😊

ya i do have that issue rn, workin on it!
you could glue the edges with some clear silicone, like a tiny bead that you flatten out after.

What type of resin??? Thank for helping!!!!

Worth looking for a 'damaged wood' repair varnish - designed to fill the cracks etc!
@@AQUAPROS
Cool setup.. love the rimless
Hi, want to know from wher do you get the river sand from?
YOU ARE PRACTICAL , AND IN EVERY HOBBY IT IS ALLWAYS IMPORTANT .
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
What are you using for your cover for the bottom? I have been looking for something like that for my quarantine tank.
Just particle board i spray painted 🤪😉
was there ever an update to this setup? I would like to see it!

Literacy is an underappreciated life skill.
Nice set up bro i love it where can i get the spawning floating thing?
Thanks! You can make em super easy, check some of the ricefish vids from this summer or just search diy spawning mop or ricefish mop!
Can we get a link to the stand you used? I like it. And great video.
Looks really good!
Totally random, but ❤ the shrimp sticker on the white bucket! Now, I have to go buy a white bucket to stick my Legit Food stickers on. 😂
Yesss!!!! They are perfect for that! No boring buckets lol 😁😎
Do you have a raptor cause you look and sound like Chris Pratt?
Did you say Monterey Beach sand? Like Montery bay in California, where that big aquarium is located?
Ya, thats what the sand is called 🤙
This is about the exact size setup I'm about to build. What size air pump did you use/recommend?
im using some old piece of junk I got from petco a million years ago... Its def too weak for what im doing/ if I were to add a couple more tanks like im planning.

Ya, not 100% sure... Im sure its rare and probably only applicable to larger tanks....
Looks great!! I love the sand do you have a link where I can buy it?
ahhh I wish, not even sure if you can find it online, I always get it from an LFS...
Where I can buy the sand that you use ?
I use adjustable pepper grinders, toss in a mix of foods, and adjust the fineness of the grind as you need. Many come with caps so you grind in the cap to see and control how much you feed. =)

Heck ya Cullen, i been workin on something similar to that 😁😉🤙🤙
@@AQUAPROS Great minds think alike! Go mad scientist =) 🤙🤙
This is sick!
Looking good
Thanks Chris 😁😘
Have you thought about breeding Pseudomugil rainbowfish species? They'd probably be pretty easy to breed in a setup like this.
I really didn’t know I needed a raptor in my home until now 😂
Im here to enable you Matt... 🤪😎😎😎
Reminds me my old fish room thanks for sharing dude party on my friend
party on! 😎😎😎
Idk if you will see this but use marine grade polyurethane for the raptor it will last a lifetime and can be outside in any conditions
Very nice
Its great to see everyone looking so good and happy.

Thanks Jackson! Ill have to try that with the Yokazuras and report back, thats awesome!!!!
I know this was posted a few months ago and it might have been said before but Mod Podge will save the raptor

Where did the minnows go?
They turned into ricefish! 🤪😵😵😵
How much salvinia do you own at this point? Good grief 😂
Not enough, its never enough kevin...
5gallon rim tanks? sir those are full sixed 10g aquariums
I decided to do this lol so far 3 it’s my first month and I’ve spend over 900$ I gotta stop or chill 😂
Funny to see how your brain works saying 2000ml :P
From the old grad school days 😉
I know how you can save your raptor... Cover him in like ten coats of polyurethane.
🤪😁
👍🏻👍🏻

He did not create Yozakura
Am I the first view 🤓
