Aquarium Co-Op when was the last water change?
You have awesome products! Just bought a few things I needed. Everything works and looks so great!
That wisteria looked like a breeding wonder land! Should be interesting to see how long it goes without a water change.
Yeah i'm curious to see how little water can be changed too!
How long has it been
Glad to see the corydora blink lol
I love when mine does that lol. I thought I was seeing things the first time mine did that lol.. they're so cute!
if it were socially acceptable in the aquatic community I would keep a tank looking like this 😂 i love the jungle look! I keep my wisteria floating and the roots are everywhere.
Maybe you're in the wrong social circles. Most aquarists I know, who are big into fish has tanks like these. These are aquarists who have done it for 20+ years, unlimited fish budgets etc. After a while you develop a style that works for you. Also you tend to gravitate towards people with similar styles.
Aquarium Co-Op I am in the wrong circle Cory I'm surrounded by saltwater people who keep a few freshwater tanks that refer to plecos as cleaner fish. 😒 That's why I love my TH-cam community 😁 On the other hand my local shrimp breeder would love a tank like this.
I agree, if the angel fish weren't in there I think you could have added a few more plants and create a new aquascape theme called the wild aquascape or the wilderness!
Most of the tank is plant mass but no deficiencies but low tech high maintenance. One of the water wisteria stem is 1cm thick.
Social acceptance is a cancer on society. I remember celebrating individuality . But I guess public education has been high jacked by socialists . Not your fault.
Absolutely agree on the water changes. I've been keeping fish for 25 years and when I mentioned on a forum that I do a water change twice a year, you would of thought I committed a felony. People use water changes as a crutch. In my opinion if you've got a properly stocked tank with fish and plants, water changes only add stress. Especially to fish that rarely see water changes.
I think it is much harder to achieve a "closed" system. So water changes make it easier, that being said because of the location of this aquarium I enjoy the challenge of such a closed system.
but where does the poop go?
@@eh9918 it doesn't go anywhere the plants will absorb it over time.
@@eh9918 It goes into the plants, and eventually you trim them and take it out. you take it out either way, the question is "do you let the plants take it out in a targeted manner or do you dump out tons of water to remove a tiny bit of nitrates"?
Yes, this was the best advice I got when starting up my shrimp tank. Definitely noticed a difference when I stopped doing so many water changes
I love jungle tanks, they just seem more natural because mother nature doesn't grow just a little. I kind of like hunting through the foliage to find what fish is hiding where.
Those Corydorus are bloody beautiful. I have always loved Corydorus, no specific reason just like them. Maybe because they get along with anything.
Yep, I love that jungle look. It would look cool with some branches or root looking wood.
Seriously Cory!! If you are lazy then I must be dead! Thanks for all your hard work, I have learned so much in my first 6 months in the hobby!
Beautiful tank, before & after! Wow, I didn't know that many fish we're in there! I bet they're happier now!
Thanks for showing us this tank. I love it!!! It would be my dream, just love the Rosaline! I like all the activity in here. Just like in the wild.
Love the video, I was just debating if I should trim back my water sprite, but afraid I won't like the aftermath. Hope to see an update video! Thanks for sharing!
Came across your channel when I was looking into plants for my endler guppy tank. For once TH-cam recommendation was great. So pleased to have found your videos. Very informative and as a newby hobbyist I find them very useful. Also just enjoyed seeing your tank and fish
"I don't tell my wife I use some kitchen scisors" LOL same with my mom. When me or my father took some kitchen ustentils or bowl for our tanks she stop using it and she told us to have our proper stuff... so I took them when she sleep or isn't home. Srsly this is just fish, we can clean it after :')
Dark'ᄉ' are you 7 😂
I was worried when you started, it looked so beautiful before, but I gotta say, it looked a lot better even after the trim! Good job. Plus the fish look much happier, like they can breath!
In love with your angels! So beautiful & amazing aquarium! Thanks for sharing!
that fluvial co2 diffuser is the best one I've been able to find!
Nice! Gotta love planted aquariums, the chaos just make it resemble more of the fish natural habitat.
Have you ever had an algae explosion after taking out that much fast growing plant mass? That stuff is like a nutrient sponge. There is still a ton of it in there though so I guess it could just keep on rocking. I caused an algae bloom in a tank once when I cut out a jungle of Brazilian Pennywort. So cool!
Such beautiful! Tank with plants.
I too love a thick jungle tank!! What a gorgeous tank, well done friend!
WoW ! I too like the jungle look...I wish my plants would grow like that...I have 6 panda cories. .love them.
Roseline Sharks are growing fast, looks great.
thanks, I didn't know what they were called. beautiful fish. endangered and apparently native to india.
aka Denison Barbs
U have the greatest tank set ups. I luv them all.
Great video Cory! One of your best.
Those black mollys are so beautiful, really stands out against the green
I really do love this tank. May do this with my larger tank some day..
I can't wait to order some Wisteria from you.. I love this tank I love how full it is.. I have Mollies and Guppies they would love this..
I knew I saw my Cory cat blink lol
Awesome tank bro! I have a bunch of wisteria in mine, and those plants grow like crazy! I have to trim them pretty much every other week
wish i could get my planted tank to look like yours. thats amazing
I like this video it’s cool to see you maintain your own home tank 😊
Really enjoyed watching this one
omgosh that tank is gorgeous- love the jungle
Glad, your doing video on strips.
A nice looking tank.
Great tank! Fun to watch.
Love the angel fish.. I think thats what they are lol.. watching them eat is so amazing... look at them go! 😀
That tank is so lovely, lucky wife 😊
Such a satisfying trim 🤗
hi Cory u are my favorite TH-camr and have real been a joy to watch especially love the content u do
keep up the good work
wow. Looking good.
awesome tank Cory, I love that look for a planted tank.
wish youd do that video of the difference between strips and liquid test kits. I trust the liquid test kit myself.
I'll do a video eventually. I'm not trying to convince anyone to switch, I just show what I use.
Corey real enjoyed 👀📽👍👌. Keep the wife's tank video coming
Nice update & video Cory! I think I'm guilty of doing water changes too much! I like your philosophy on doing when needed....
Do what works well for you, but I myself am trying to tone it down a bit.
I really like your videos....such beautiful fish!
I like how you say "we're going to work on it" nope ain't nobody got time for that 🤣
Wow! There were WAAAY more fish in there than what I first thought!
I love this tank.
my old pacus used to do that eating style with big hunks of dog food :) nice video Cory
I know this is an old video but can’t thank you enough for the bovianis explanation! Sister gave me one for my 55g. It exploded! Fish love it! Shelter and to take naps on, eat off, lay eggs on. If I didn’t know it would die back I’d be freaking out when it did. Great excuse to get a bigger tank for it. 55 is just too small.
Great video Cory, I love the tank! That plant is so nice!
Flynn's Fish Forum nominated me to do the review anything challenge, after you reviewed something you have to nominate 2 other people!
I'm thinking about nominating you! It will help me if you mention me if you response to it! You can review that test kit, that you want to do a review on!
Please let me know if you would response!
Then I can record the video!
*Thumbs up!*
+Danny's Aquariums the problem is I don't know when I'll do the review
+Aquarium Co-Op You can do it when you want to! I have nominated you I just uploaded it! Don't have to respond but it would be awesome!
I use wisteria in all of my tanks, and I'm convinced that I couldn't kill it if I wanted to. The fish love the cover and fry thrive in it. I haven't changed the water in over a year.
WOW the wisteria exploded!
beautiful tank!
loved this , so cool!
ive tried that fluval deffuser it worked well for a month or so then had to replace. its ok for the price.
i absolutely love those cories
Me too, my favorite thing in the tank.
Really cool tank.
great video as always
holly shizzer that growth !!
Marks Shrimp Tanks I know big fan of you mark
I just love those Angels! I much prefer these "junglescapes" over the heavily designed look - and the fish like it better too. Its nice to see small fish in a big tank.
thank you,
awesome tank, I love those Corys barbatus
I love your fish carpet!!!
This was pretty cool
wow the plants really exploded. know i really do need that easy green !
This is what the wisteria does in my Neocaridina shrimp tanks! It grows so fast. My water sprite also grows like crazy and is constantly spreading and forming new plants! Mayaca is another plant that I just can’t keep up with because it grows so fast. But the Mayaca comes in handy because you can float it as a guppy grass substitute... I fertilize with API Leaf Zone once per week and that’s it! I use API Leaf Zone because it’s shrimp safe(doesn’t contain copper).
awesome,I just made my first planted tank,I have java moss, amazon swords,and some other p!ant that I don't know the name of.I have white cloud minnows in one, and then guppy\platy\molly fry in another separate.
Love this channel
Love the jungle look! But defo need some wood. Those Cory Cats are a RAD fish! But would still take out those danios and replace them with more neons and some platies. Chuck in some neo shrimp just for extra fun! And a pleco or 2 would like it in there as well Lol.
Stephen Bamber Ah yes! Finally some one who shares my tastes!
Aa+ awesome video Cory! I really enjoyed that
Wow so neat!! I'm jealous..forest
I think your tank full of Wisteria looks way nicer than putting Anubias etc. 🙂
Very nice!
I like the jungle look to!
love watchin your vids
Great video Cory,it was a funny 20minutes for me because my tank has been getting over grown with Wisteria as well and when I first seen your jungle I knew right then my jungle was just as bad so I gave mine a haircut as well! My poor Angelfish had little room to swim as well,especially in a small 40g but my cherry barbs,lemon tetras love to spawn in the plants so they still have their jungle,just smaller and more compact. The leaves on my wisteria become much more pinnate once they get near the top of the tank where the light is stronger as well,it's really cool to see how the leaf shapes change from low light to high light. Oh,lest I forget my Ruffled Sword is now smiling at me now because it's getting a bunch more light,now it will again grow 2 leaves a week again,big one's at that! Anyway I too enjoy just letting the tank evolve and change over time with very little intervention from me,I don't do water changes but once a month now which suits me just fine. Patience is key in this hobby and the rewards are incalculable in my opinion. Understanding of natures ways is so low these days it behooves one to view their aquarium as window to the larger world and to appreciate the genius and wonder of natures intrinsic ability to do what it needs to do without our constant fussing about! LOL
Yeah, other plants definitely got happier after the trim.
Great tank i would love to have a tank that big
Adorable superman!
Love it!!
I personally loved seeing the Cory blink 😊
Great video 👍
Great vid-thnx!
Your wives Angels are gorgeous
Hahhaa
I started this hobby with neon tetras... but after I was introduced to corydoras, man... they've my favorite ever since.... lovely fish...
That’s fluval replacement disk, I just pop it out soak it in white vinegar then give it a good tooth brushing. Good as new.
such a cute picture
I really wish my water wisteria would grow like that. I have co2 tabs that I use, they have made a big difference in how my plants grow. I also use seachem flourish. I also have seachem substrate as well, that is mixed with a Sandy substrate so the roots of my plants can plant themselves better. My doesn't have a grow light, but it gets plenty of light I also have a multi colored light that most plants like, that helps promote the growth of them, they also get alot of indirect sunlight.
Water changes add fresh minerals back into your tank remove excess nitrates and waste, strips are not totally accurate. I can't think of a reason why performing a normal water change would be anything but beneficial. The idea is to not get to the point where you HAVE to perform a water change. It is preventive maintenance. I love the tank btw, wish I had the space!
Also steady CO2 injection will cause available calcium to be dissolved over time so weekly removing water and adding remineralised water is a stable, low stress way to maintain PH, KH and GH over time as well as ensuring that there’s sufficient minerals for shell builders (snails etc). Doesn’t have to be a massive change but 10-20% per week is plenty
This is my dream tank
Like tank like this look like natural
Hi Cory been watching your videos for a while now. I really like your approach for a more natural tank environment (not just visually but also regarding algae and nutrients). While my parameters are good but the algae in my tank is getting out of control. Other videos suggest doing 50% water changes 2x a week to remove nutrients. I see that you have a different method here. You mentioned at the end of your video that you guys are writing this down. where can i find out more about the methodology behind your approach. thanks again for your great videos
best
Cory, can you do an update on this tank?
my wisteria keeps sucking up all the phosphate so quick. I used to have no issues with GSA, but it comes up often. I am simply lacking phosphates so I am feeding my fish more and adding in some phosphate fertilizer
Every time I see this tank, there is one tuxedo swordtail in there that I want so badly... lol
Thats such a rad tank! I need to work on reducing my water changes! I love the jungle look. Man- you were a cute baby! Ok. The cory blinkin was super rad!
Nice angels
wow water wisteria heaven
I just started a 72g bow planted, I need these videos and advice
Thanks
I love this tank and the heavily planted look but may I ask how you clean the substrate when there are so many plants?
