Hey man, I've had my aquarium up for about 3-4 months now, and recently the ph level has been dropping even shortly after a water change, it hovers around 6 ph..the water also has a yellow tinge, any idea whats happening or why? Thanks in advance
PS. Aquarium is reshwater with tropical fish
Bro! I knew that self siphon is money. I've spent hrs trying to figure out a way and asked multiple "hobbiest" and nothing. Thank you! I love the fish you have, might have to get a few of my own in my cichlid tank.
@@7031995 did anyone ever get back to you? I would guess that you put some driftwood or some type of dead plant material like Indian almond leaves. The tannins soften the water lowering the pH and that also explains the yellow/Brown colour
When should I clean 80% of all my sand? 🤔 ill check the crystal clear water video you suggested at the end too
I just subbed too I started again now that I can afford the proper care I was 15 last time and my parents weren't interested in helping with them money wise and me being 15 I had no clue how expensive they got but I'm 25 now and I have a lot of stuff for my 40 gallons tank and watching all your videos before I got these and after because I had a bloom spike thinking the water was OK with checking with aqua care for ammonia I managed to hold it to 0.2 to 0.5 with a 10% water change, prime, test kits,accu- clear, special blend, fluval 307, 2 small fluval filters, lots of plants like I mean a lot, fluval bubble maker 😅 not sure of the name 😂 and obviously my fluval gravel vac just arrived also I have 5 fancy 2 to 3 inch fancy goldfinch so hopefully it all comes together ❤️ ps gonna get a 120 gallon tank because I want to get some panda moors and they deserve it!! It's a breeding tank so should be fun I've been watching yt about this for the past 2 weeks 🫠 this bacterial bloom is ruining the moment I have a few more things like treatments and interpet fresh start and all so fingers crossed bro hi from UK saw you were military it one of your other videos I highly respected you bro
Underrated TH-camr and his fish tanks are of the most pristine conditions
Appreciate you bro!
@@KaveManAquatics I want o ask you how to give your fish better oxygen
@@parmarun6590 more movement at the top of the tank and also add a bubbler
@@parmarun6590 add real plants 🪴
agree
Thanks a lot KaveMan, I’m a beginner in this hobby and I’ve never professionally understood any videos until I saw your videos. This videos are very well explained and very realistic without tricks. I’m very satisfied of finding you on TH-cam. Blessings and successful life!
Thank you so much! Glad I could help! 😊
I just wanted to say this is very well spoken and worded. You not only went over the assumed typical way to clean but also provided a budget and alternative ways to clean without sounding like you were talking down to anyone. You described everything very well and allowed time to pause the screen to see exactly what you were explaining! A+
Thanks for that positive feedback! I really appreciate it! 😁💪
Man... I watched so many different videos on vacuuming and finally found someone who explained it well enough for me to get it to work! I thank you and my fish thank you!
Im new to this hobby and i gotta say I really love this channel AND kev is by far the best tutorial instructor that is guiding me to become a great fish keeper....great job kev and much blessings brother.
Thank you bro, I appreciate that! Glad you're finding the channel helpful!
You rock, bro! Great video! You've got a great personality for tutorials!
Thank you bro, glad you found it helpful 😊💪
Thank you Kevin for making this. I just got your book on crystal clear water and now that I've watched this I'm set. I've had an aquarium with Africans for a couple of years now and even us "experienced" in the hobby can learn something new.
Really appreciate all the helpful tips. I'm a new fishkeeper and I've been having a difficult time keeping my angelfish healthy. I'll be watching more of your videos. Thank you!
I am subscribed to many fish keeper channels, and I have to say that you are very informative and I can tell, passionate about the hobby. Appreciate finding your channel!
Awesome! Thank you for those words. And you're right I fell hard for this hobby and I love helping people find the joy in it too! 😁
Too many other TH-cam channels think they are a internationally famous cable channel with lengthy lead in sequences and endless blabbering.
I subscribed to you and unsubscribed to them because to don't try to sell anything, do ads for anything and get straight to the point while remaining humble.
Thank you for all the hard work you put into elevating the community.
Thank you sir, I appreciate that positive feedback! You will find that some of my newer content does include mentions of my book and course but I still do it very subtle and try not to interrupt the flow of the content 😊 Thanks for the sub, I hope you enjoy the rest of the content!
@@KaveManAquatics Hey, good for you!!! When we run across it, based upon your videos, we'll be ordering your book. 😉
It is great to listen to a very knowledgeable guy, who speaks in a clear, no-nonsense and straightforward manner! Have learned a lot Kev, thank you.
Thank you so much! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😊
Glad I found your channel. Hands down the best at explaining and showing how everything is done. Wife and I are about to get our first tank set up. Hoping to make a successful planted freshwater
Welcome to the hobby! Glad you're finding the channel helpful. Heres a great playlist I put together for beginners, check it out - th-cam.com/play/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er.html
Thanks for all the usefull content! It helped me out alot. You deserve more attention🔥🔥
I appreciate that! 😊
This is the most informative video I've seen! Thank you for being detailed and straight to the point 😭
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
YES dude thank you, this video is what I’ve been missing. I have to master the siphon method. I’ve been squeezing that damn thing this whole time. No joke I have your vid’s playing on repeat every time I do a cleaning, so much vital info👏🏻
Dude thanks man, I just got my first sand bottom tank and was worried about cleaning it up right. Very simple. Huge help
I love that you siphon the water straight out to your grass! I do the same thing with my water changes, and I swear it works like miracle grow for my plants! I also have two of the same big rock decorations, my mbunas are always digging their way to get into them so I have to be careful when I remove them for cleaning lol. Haven't dove deep enough into your channel yet, but how do you prefer to clean the rocks ? Loving your videos so far!
Thanks man, glad you're enjoying the content. I actually never really had to clean my rocks. My pleco has been doing an awesome job keeping the algae off. And I dont run my lights too often so in general dont get much algae build up.
I seriously love you!! I've been in this game for years and you have the best channel.
lol, Thank you Natalie! Glad you're enjoying the channel 😊
Great video! Both my tanks have gravel but someday I may try sand. I’ve wondered how to vacuum sand substrate for quite sometime and now I know thanks to your video! I love when vacuuming gravel the satisfaction of seeing the dirt, dust, poop, coming out of the tank! I do it weekly and it is amazing how dirty gravel gets and especially under decor. Great video!😊
I do weekly water changes with bi-weekly sand vacuum. How often do you guys clean your substrate? Let us know! 🙂
And dont forget to Subscribe! 👉 th-cam.com/users/kavemanaquatics
I already subscribe to your Channel I'm a big fan of channel 👍it's great
Roy Stevenson awesome bro, thanks! 😊
I do water changes like every two weeks I had a Marineland 360 calendar filter are you really just don't think it's doing the job that's why I was thinking about moving to the Samsung I did hear they are great that's all I I afford
@@KaveManAquatics you welcome I have learned a lot from your video I'm come to Starbucks to catch up with your videos I just saw the one you posted how to siphon your sand and gravel I have sand in my aquarium I'm about to do water change today about 50% water change
Roy Stevenson Thats a great amount for water change, glad you’re enjoying the videos! 👍
I just watched a video about how to clean a tank and it included water changes, the proper way to clean the filter without killing all of the good bacteria, but left out substrate vacuuming, I was happy to see you started with vaccuming.
Definitely need to vacuum the trapped stuff when doing a full cleaning 💪
Great video. Clear explanation, simple and to the point. Good tip on holding the pipe up when removing from the tank. Thanks for making the video.
My pleasure! Glad you found it helpful 😁
I think I’m in love 😭❤️
🤣🤣😊😊
Where can I find rock decor similar to the two you have? I’ve searched high and low and I haven’t found anything that will make my lil buddies happy. Btw great vid as always 😎. Always straight to the point with great tips. Keep it up 👍
Mike Ortiz Thanks bro, appreciate that! I got lucky one day and walked into my local Petsmart and grabbed the last 2 off the shelf...try their website, you may get lucky too.
I watched this video, vacuum'd my gravel and couldn't believe what I was seeing. My water is now crystal clear. Thank you KaveMan for these videos.
Awesome!! My pleasure 😁
I am new to the fish tank word and I just found the channel I am going to follow for all the information I need. Thank you !
Hey Kev, The reason I love your channel is that you get straight to the point. I hate wasting 30 minutes on a video that could have been done in 7 minutes. Your presentation skills are great, especially for this forum. People are usually looking for a very specific answer to a very specific question. They don't want to sit around waiting half an hour for an answer that might not even work for them. I have a 29 gallon planted aquarium. The plant light died a while back and now I'm stuck with red/blue/white LEDs. So far my plants have done OK, but I notice they are definitely not has robust and not really growing anymore. Can you recommend a light ? Thank you
Appreciate that positive feedback bro! I feel the same way about making a video unnecessarily longer than it needs to be.
Unfortunately I’ve never kept any plants with my African cichlids and never needed lights for plants so I can’t recommend any. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
Pockets of poop 😳😂😂🤷🏻♀️ thanks for the info! I needed it!
Glad I could help! 😊
Getting back into the hobby after a few years and a house move. This is some of the best help I've found. THANKS! Oh yeah...subscribed and down loaded your book! Thanks for the awesome content.......
I was always losing sand during water change. Perfect example and demonstration on how to get the sand back to the tank. Thank you very much bro 👍
Glad I could help! 😊
Bro your videos are awesome, they’ve helped me so much with getting my tank started and everything, now to just give it its first vacuum 💪🏼
Thank you bro! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😁💪
Straight to the point and no nonsense. So much helpful advice.
Thank you! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😁💪
I am a new rescue-fish adopter and your videos have been incredibly helpful. Thank you!
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
Brother you are the King of Fish 😂😂😂😂😂 great video, a lot of good information and good presentation
Thank you bro! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😁💪
Newbie fish hobbyist here! Loving your videos, mate. Watching your helpful tips from all the way in Oz. I'd love to show you some footage i have of my aquarium. I'm certainly changing the way I've been doing things since watching these, esp about cleaning the substrate 😉👍😎
I've been a Betta fish mom for four years now and I still learned a lot from this. Thank you for your videos!!
That's awesome! Glad I could still help!
your channel is the best. Thanks for all wonderful videos that you have uploaded. theres tons of information in there.
Thank you! Glad you've been enjoying the channel!
New to having a fish tank. Only have a 5gal but this was the first video where I’ve finally understood how to clean the substrate. Thanks so much!!
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
Thanks for the bit re: picking spots to vacuum PER cleaning! Been vacuuming way too much of my tank substrate
Glad I could help! 😁
Such A great teacher with a great attitude!!! Gonna watch all your vids
Awesome! Thank you! 😁
Thank you so much for this I just got a 10 gallon for my son with tropical fish and this helped me big time PetSmart had me get all this stuff but none of the things to clean it so this really is a big help I appreciate you
Awesome! Glad I could help! 😊
This has honestly been the best channel for bigginer like me to learn, I used to have a aquarium 6 years ago but as a dumb kid, I did all the things you say not to do in the video and had a hard time with it. But luckily I never killed any fish but later it got too hard to keep the fish tank clean and the fish healthy, So I had to sell everything. Now I am properly learning things from YT before buying a tank. And understand what dumb thing I did to make my aquarium hobby hard. Thanks for all the help
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful. 😊
BTW, you should check out my new Aquarium Keeping APP designed for beginners! - aquabuildr.com
@@KaveManAquatics I already installed it, but if I way, I would love to see a option to select imperial or metric units. I am from India and we use metric units, so it would be a great help ☺️
Total life saver finding your chanel Kev. Successfully set up my cichlid tank, cycled it fully and fishless, its been up and running with all your advice on media substrate not chasing the ph etc. Really wanted to say thank you this is just the beginning of my Cichlid journey. Highly recommend your channel
Also just became a supporter and looking forward to the Q & A and extra footage. Totally worth it
Thats awesome!! I love to hear success stories like yours! So glad I was able to help. And thank you for supporting the channel with a membership! I highly appreciate you! Next live stream on tuesday the 26!

New follower here..great advice. I had one aquarium for fifteen years and loved the hobby. Thinking of doing saltwater next time.
Thanks for the sub! Welcome back to the hobby! You and I are both considering going salt water 😁
Great video I am trying to slowly raise my pH after switching to the aggressive fish and I have tried everything so I already have removed some gravel and prepare for the sand!!! Agronite it is!!!!!

I’ve been adding stress guard with my water changes . It’s been working good.im getting ready to add nine more fish was wondering should I add some stress guard before I add new fish to keep the initial aggression down.thanks for always answering questions.you should do some live shows in the future.
Absolutely, stress guard will definitely help when adding new guys. Just make sure you quarantine them first 😉 And thanks for the tip, I’ve been trying to work up the courage to a live stream 🤣🤣🤣
Good afternoon Kev, I am new to your channel. Damn glad that I ran across it. I have seen a few different methods for cleaning gravel/sand, but this is the method that I will be instituting from this point on. Thanks, my brother.
Awesome! So glad I was able to help! 😊
Awesome tip on the syphon trick and not using sink with python while cleaning. Just wish knew this trick years ago. Only thing I've hated about the python is the wasted water. Keep up the great vids.
Thanks bro, Glad I could help!
Great vid bro!
Thanks bro, glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Absolutely fantastic thanks I am new to this and you're advice is brilliant I hope my tank in time is as clear as yours

@@KaveManAquatics as I am in Scotland we work in ltrs here I have a 125ltr tank was bought with a u3 fluval in water filter but I feel its not enough what would you recommend I am looking in to the 201 fluval canaster any advice,,I am watching the videos start to finish 😀
Filtration depends on the bio-load in your tank. How many fish, their size, your feeding and cleaning practices. If you're going to go canister go bigger now and save the upgrade later. Fluval 407
@@KaveManAquatics thanks for the reply 👍 I will be going for it as I may have over stocked a little
Great Video Kave. Will have sand or gravel in my tank someday. This knowledge will come in handy then. I usually keep y filters on when I do a water change. Should I switch them all of?
