Hi I just brought the same tank for a betta, I like the idea of some shrimp, how will you prevent yours from getting through the vents, you said you would cover them, with what is my question.

D Devries - 7 years ago

Update on this tank and did you get your shrimp?

Lee Kovic - 7 years ago

Can you let me know if the factory lights are sufficient for a low light setup?

Innessa916 - 7 years ago

Haha every time I vape while on the phone with my husband he says I sound like Darth Vader.

Emil13able - 7 years ago

I have a 50 gal. tropical Community tank. Want to set up one like your working on. From watching you I'm looking to start one for a Beta, and neon fish you have excited to start.

travellife08 - 7 years ago

I recently bought one of these which is on backorder. Do you find the glass to be too thin and the glare more pronounced then on a straight sided tank?

Chad Marsolais - 7 years ago

hey John you need to put a power head in the Evo for more flow it will help a lot for algae and the coral

Shelley G. - 7 years ago

John, I bought one of these tanks for myself. They seem very cool...but Im wondering if you think shrimp can live in it because of the filter intake slots. I was hoping to get some shrimp but I dont know what to do about that part. Any Ideas??

Try putting Floss in the compartment with the vents to not only stop shrimp getting in there and also clear the water better

Carlos Lugo - 7 years ago

Excellent effort, for the tank, and the video... I'm a newbie to planted tanks and it was very easy and fun to watch... Lot of info in between the beginning and the final "product"... Not a "fiasco" at all... Congrats.

JOWEE BOIE - 7 years ago

the very effort you showed us in this build is the essence of fishkeeping. bar none. #TankTalkNation rock!

jacqueline rogers - 7 years ago

hi i just started to watch these tank set ups ,i think you have done well i have 8 large tanks ,one has CO2 DIY and grows good plants lots of lights though,i always set up new tanks semi dry then gently add conditioned water ,as you will know by now most set ups are really cloudy just have to be passion t

Class Project - 7 years ago

I am a beginner at fish keeping. I have a 1 gallon tank with 1 Bala Shark (baby) 1 Comet Goldfish (baby) 1 Koi (baby) 2 pleco (baby) 5 ghost shrimp and 1 Angel fish. Why do my fish not swim/breathe well pls give advice .

Hulk-Smash - 7 years ago

what heater do u reccomend

Joshua Burkard - 7 years ago

If it is indeed a 1 gallon tank, you are insanely overstocked. The fish are suffering from ammonia poisoning.

agent 333 - 7 years ago

I think some neon tetras and some cobra guppies would go good with the fluval tank.. it'll bring out the bold colors and already some awesome fish.. if u want lol but other than that nice design and setup I wish I had the fluval flex..

jane doe - 7 years ago

hi john, just found you here and couldnt stop watching you scaping the tank, just want to say, nice tank and greetings from germany! and now i go watching your other vids ;-)

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

Looking good. Finally got time to catch up on this video. As long as the plants don't freeze they are good. Much like plants outside, it's the freeze that kills plants. Once their cells freeze they are a goner.

Colleen Dion - 7 years ago

That looks awesome. I often wondered how the plants survive temperature changes like that. Just because I live in a very temperamental part of Canada for weather.

Ice King - 7 years ago

Hey , I have a 6 gallon aquarium and i need help if u can go to my channel and see if i have too much fish or not pls help before anything bad happens

Chass Trace - 7 years ago

Ice King definitely overstocked. plus angel fish are aggressive. I'd get them out of there.

owdatuner - 7 years ago

you make me want to rescape my tank! great job john looks great!

Henrik Haugaard Steen - 7 years ago

Thanks for sharing :-) Looking forward to an update

William Carino - 7 years ago

If it makes you feel any better I got a good laugh out of watching this video.

I guess that wouldn't really make you feel any better, would it? lol It was fun and you got a thumbs up from me anyway. You made the effort and it turned out great.

Some Java Moss zip tied to the wood would look nice and your shrimp would REALLY appreciate it.

Victor O. - 7 years ago

Looks good, I like it. Was a little worried at the beginning...lol
But it turned out very nice.

Adam Gamberutti - 7 years ago

Everything turned out well. I'm glad all the stone and wood arrived safely.

RAD Aquatics - 7 years ago

Is that the new fluval "flex" in the back ground?

Karen Talbot - 7 years ago

Your tank looks great!

dbachelor's Planted Aquarium - 7 years ago

Love the aquascape! thumbs up!

Constance MacAllister - 7 years ago

I voted to have you do it as a live stream and then I was unable to experience live. However, I enjoyed it anyway. I certainly stumble when I'm putting together a decor and its fun to see someone else work their way through. The result looks great. Thanks!

Cichlid Dude - 7 years ago

Penny Cantua - 7 years ago

KGTropicals - 7 years ago

+Penny Cantua our 14 year old drew it when she was 12

Penny Cantua - 7 years ago

Oh my...I love this scape. your shrimp will enjoy and be happy with their new home.....It was fun to watch you...too...

Penny Cantua - 7 years ago

John....I am glad you are doing this...really. Sure the water is cloudy...and blah blah. I am enjoying it. I can see more than you think you think I can. Don't get frustrated....I think it looks really nice.....

David Müller - 7 years ago

To keep shrimp in the tank you should cover the inlets to the filter with filter foam I think. Nice scape by the way.

Pavol Kulanda - 7 years ago

easier to scape with no water John.

Sue Donnelly - 7 years ago

Sorry for this too long comment. Missed most of the chat live so couldn't get a comment in the chat. But first, tank looks great. Would like to see what you decide to add over the skimmer and lower intake to prevent shrimp entering those chambers. I've had this issue with the Spec V and have added another sponge to the top area over the original sponge but occasionally shrimp still get in - maybe through the bottom area. When I pull the sponge for cleaning, I have to be careful as I will usually be pulling shrimp attached to the sponge and biomedia. So just a caution on those intakes.

If you ever have to pull the output spouts, say to clean the pump tubing, make sure the water is below the hole they come out of. Chili rasboras can and will swim through that hole. Just another lesson I learned. Fortunately I was able to successfully flush him back out.

And finally, otos are small, cute and will work on some algae. A horned bumblebee nerite (small and cute and won't breed) would be a good addition too.

dry start is best. and don't get too busy. the big Rock limits you
