How often you change the water in your aquarium? 😀
Twice a week
Once per week!
Once a week!
10% every other week or less.
20% once a week
I do a 50% change every Saturday morning, which is fine on my little 40ltr using a bucket and scoop.
Instead of throwing the water away I use it on my house plants, or even the garden. The plants love all those nitrates (and residual fertilizer), no point wasting it!
I agree with Chill. It looks very easy when you (Balazs) do it.
But when I try to do it, it's hard and gets messy every time.
Awesome job! Been waiting for this video. I also agree that the community is pretty understanding and not cruel.
Always good to review the basics ! Way to go Chills ! Nice little tank ! Thumbs up GA team !
I loved the the way how u described everything . It really was helpful
Thanks for all the beautiful videos you are making. A nice mix of different subjects explained very clear. Thanks Green Aqua team for all the effort!
It's a beautiful little tank, congrats Chill you are doing great. 👌👍🥰
Love it! very useful - thanks 😊
I just set my first nano tank. Your videos were so usefull... Love from poland
i like the addition of the new rocks, it really made the island more pronounced. Great work.
For those of you that have Oase Filters, and do not use the supplied Inlets/outlets, (Upgraded to lily pipes) the filter INLET (with the strainer) makes a great water change tool. you can buy whatever length of hose you need and attach. the strainer makes an awesome fish/soil/plant blocker when draining, and an awesome way to diffuse the water when filling. I can put my drain side right into my tub (no need to worry about debris because of the strainer) When I am ready to fill, I have a quick attach pump that I put in a bucket under the tub spout. I correct for temp, add my declor and ferts, and turn it on. Easy, hands free water changes!
Yes! Very good tip David! Thanks for that! Cheers!
Wow fantastic tank for a beginner looks great… once you get into a routine it’s easy 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 green aqua has some fantastic videos thanks for making ❤️
oh i love newbie step by step video !!
Very detailed. So good
I do bucket method for my 60p, 2x a week Thu & Sun. 1 bucket out, 1 bucket in. Took me less than 10 minutes of maintenance. Hate long hoses plus my tank is quite far from the water supply 😆
so amazing informative video. trimming session is amazing. removing extra growth of vals is awesome. water change pipe i need only that are amazing tools . Make over is so beautiful. great job balazas sir. super happy. goldy
You are really lucky... I want Balaz in my home making maintenance!!! Green aqua is the best contribution to aqua scape ever!
Great video.
Shows me how much I've learnt. Seems overwhelming. But... its my favourite thing to do on day off. Go chills. Make a coffee. Music on and be artistic and maintain! If u do a little here and there. It's just a big one now and then!!!
Another great video guys! Keep up the hard work and dedication...👊💪💯
Will do, thanks for the support!
Great work 👏. The tank looks pretty again.
Thanks Ferhat. :)
thanks for the knowledge
I really like aquarium maintenance. I would like most videos of that. ;)
A very nice tank she will do very nicely with it we have confidence in her
Nice. It looks like alot of work but Chills will get use to it. Happy cleaning. 😊
Love this series
Chills, you're a jolly good fellow. So, you deserve to get only positive comments forever.
Great video, GreenAqua Family, as usual!
Cheers from a resort called Angra (State of Rio de Janeiro), from this brazilian fan of yours.
Nice video guys. And that thank looks real good 👍😉🖐👌
Very informative video, I like it very much. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to read this.
Thanks for watching us. :)
Super useful tips, thank you so much
Glad to read this, Chloe. :)
Very nice. Thank you for sharing this style of video! - Little Bobby
You're welcome, Little Bobby! Cheers brother.
Great video guys the is coming along great 👍
Yepp, much better than I thought!
Beautiful island decorated by the great Balazs wonderful description and chills learn so fast you guys doing good job fans please get the subs for green 💚 aqua.
Ya, this channel is awesome
Great video. More chills too 😍
Perfect prof
Awesome job guys! I always learn something new from these types of video! I've often found that the filter hoses get stuck or are difficult to remove from the lily pipes, a really handy tip I've learned for getting the filter hoses off is to push the hose further up the pipe to break the seal first and then pulling it off, rather than trying to just pull the hose off the pipe, I unfortunately broke a couple before I learned this trick.
Nice revamp! 🙂 Actually I change the water according to the tap water being distributed. During the winter, the tap water is like 15°C and I can adjust the temperature to the tank, changing 60-70%once per week. During summer the tap water comes at 27°C-28°C 🥵...so I prefer to change 20-30%, 3 times per week 👍
Thank you
beautiful tank
Thanks Jacob. :)
TOP, TOP, TOP!
When assembling external filter, I set up everything normally, open all valves and suck the air from filter outflow. This removes the bubble on the top of the curve and gravity does the rest :-)
Nice job
Amazing video❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
Agree! I am also a fish hobbyist and make fish content!
i love it so much x
Cheers Jurgen!
We're happy your here to chills!
hello, I'm from Indonesia, I like your art😍👍
Every Tuesday and Saturday of the week. Tuesday - just glass cleaning and 30% WC, Saturdays - Glass cleaning, OASE pre-filter cleaning, surface skimmer media change, trimming (if necessary), dead leaves removal and 50% water change etc...
I change the water two times in a week about 50%. I need an Bucephalandra guide, all that i have are ugly i don't know why. Great video it helps a lot.
I love this video! i wish i was living in Hungary so I can have direct access to green aqua!!! the aquarium looks awesome post the maintenance session. Im bet Chill is delighted!
Very nice video, it's so helpful ! I'm gonna start my first planted tank very soon but i would like to use RO water. Could you explain to us how to do the maintenance with the whole RO system please ? :)
hey, so for now .. again a super relaxed video. i love it haha .. soo i have a question or better a please .. can you watch a video about one or more water change systems for example for different requirements or in general about different ideas that you had or have carried out yourself. thank you very much and for more videos from you !!
ps: I think it's so awesome that you are accompanied by the nice woman (sorry, I forgot her name 😄) I hope something will come for a long time and in general that would be very interesting in my opinion if it is more often to look at with other people .
Saludos de ✌️🇲🇽México Acapulco exelente video me encanta que tenga subtitulado español ya que así aprendo más de ustedes 🙏
Off topic, that blue diffused light off the wall is gorgeous
Nice video and interesting ❤️
Thanks Irza. :)
Super!
Lileopsis brasiliensis &
Echinodorus Tenellus
Just bought these two couple days ago.
😍
Buen vídeo!!
Bad ass T-shirt Balazs! 👊
My favorite shirt so far. ;)
I also make water changes once per week. I like your water change system with hoses but I think is more useful for people who uses RO water. For people that use tap water(me) we need to know how many liters of water we are putting in to add the exact amount of dechlorinator
Wow the planted tank looks too good
I run a submersible pump in a bucket to do my water changes both ways, with s standard Syphon hose from the tank to the bucket... And I get at least 3 amino shrimps in my bucket 🤣. They love the rollercoaster ride of the Syphon hose
Have you tackled on the topic on common fish diseases in this channel? So that beginners can be aware on what to do if it ever affects their aquariums
Nice. Hello from indonesia
would you please recommend good tweezers which are lighter on pocket?
I love these daddy-daughter moments! 🙃
Same! It’s so good! I am also a fish hobbyist and upload aquarium related videos…… 😀
I have a 10 gallon aquarium that is fairly planted and with a decent amount of fish and snails and i do a water change every 3 months or so and my tank is always spotless and have never ran into any problems. Fish are even breeding nonstop .
Goooood🌷
Thanks! Cheers!
Thanks for Czech comments👍
Is the best to fertilize just after a water change ? (and even if i put seachem Prime to dechlorinate water ?)
Any guide to plant maintenance like how to trim ferns for smaller leaf growth or cutting back anubias for branching? Some of the finer details of plant trimming are hard to find!
Never late😁
we all are here to learn, or to share knowledge
Cuanto tiempo tengo para limpiar el filtro y no afectar las baterías o se mueran gracias
I find that JBL aqua in-out (which is the one you seem to be using?) will almost instantly clog if i don't use the default "vacuuming" part on the other end that has a kind of a filter to stop bigger stuff from entering the hose.
How do you manage to keep it unclogged with just hose on the other end?
For getting out the muck from the hoses after cleaning i just use the priming button and direct the outflow hose into a bucket 😂
Grazie.
Thank you so much for the support 👍
I suggest using the water from the aquarium for watering flowers at home. You will see how they will grow
Hi guys, how do you guys treat your wood so it doesn’t go a yellowish tint from the tannins.
Nice one! :-)
Just in time for my Friday water changes...
What exactly is the content of chlorine solution? So what percentage should it be?
Hi Balaz great video but..... Where did you buy your T shirt its absolutely amazing haha
What is the blurry square in 3:08 in the bottom left?
@ Green Aqua : do I need a DI cartridge on my reverse osmosis system ? What is ideal ?
Not needed for freshwater
That seemed like a lot for her to do and learn,, (not saying she cant) ,, but people are busy and 2 times a week water change and trimming and so on requires So much dedication : ))
hope she keeps up with it.
I'm sure she will. You are right, it is a lot, if you don't find a way to feel disconnected from the world while you work on the tank, and if this process is actually something you enjoy doing. I do enjoy doing water changes and trimming, cleaning algae from the glass, it lets my thoughts run freely. :) Maybe it's just me...
The drop checker now is on top of the CO2 diffuser?! :O
Are those fish mountain minnows? And which are the other fish?
Hi GreenAqua, im new for this hobby, after we flood our tank for the first time. How much bps of co2 should we supply to the plant after DSM? No fish yet at the moment..
Just as much as otherwise. Too much CO2 will drop the pH a lot which decrease the filter performance.
Very informative Praise the lord
so chills tamks got a mainainance
and hey green aqua
can i plant a lotus in a planted tank
and if it is possible
can you guys make a nano tank(ateast the size of Thecinescapper lost world tank)
pls do make it if it is possible
Is Rotala green and Rotala Sp green same plant?? Mine rotala green has little curly leaf and I see people has rotala green's leaf slim like rotala hra.
did we can set up aquarium planted tank with sand or not ?? if can please show one of the tank.I really like to set up aquarium planted tank with sand
I have a tank of 60 liters ( Ada 60P). How many change of water and how much water do you can advise me to change in one week ? I think a 50% every week but I believe is too much , I’m scared that I do this change water I haven’t a balance values in my tank. Thank you.
The water change, and not sure how it in your country, but in the UK and Portugal if you add water straight from the tap, the hot water, it may kill your fish, because the water comes through copper pipes.
Team disaster xD I rebuild rn my 55l tank, i wasn't regular on my maintenances, et get a lot of staghorn (and i had a Co² empty bottle for one week so...) xD green aqua video + learn my from my mistakes should do the trick ^^
I usually just top off my tanks and only do water change when I scrape the glass and algae, which it’s not that often
i never change water at all. If the balance is good the algae doesnt grow and it looks clean all the time.
I use the same hose for taking water out and refilling. Much easier, cheaper and less hassle. Can’t think of valid reason not to. Also I don’t bother filling the inflow tube with water like you did. The filter will suck that side anyhow. You might need to press the filter prime knob once. Ok, there will be some air in your filter which makes noise and disturbs, but that’s gone in a minute or 2.
Added benefit: when you store it filled, it will be filled with fresh RO (or tap) water. Much less chance of algae blooms developing in the tube. And store the tube in the dark, like a closet!
Cleaning the glass and
trimming plants are made
before the water change
is better.
Early as always😊
Hey^^ quick tipp: Put the diffusor in the chlorine while its running. So no chlorine can enter the membrane.
That's a good one 👍
