AGGRESSIVE FISH TAKING OVER MY TANK
https://youtu.be/2FMLJ60AAcs

jared martin - 6 years ago

Can you please tell me what type of lighting your using? Are they just the white /blue led?

IFG - 6 years ago

+jared martin beamswork

Damian Owens - 7 years ago

I have heard if you turn the lights off for a few hours say in the afternoon the algae doesn't like it, it prefers constant light as you say boss this just a second opinion!

benjie malibiran - 7 years ago

I leave my light on for over 12 hrs and no problem at all...

Joel Crocker - 7 years ago

My shit is on A 4 hr timer at night

IFG - 7 years ago

+Joel Crocker smart

Jena Tucker Aquariums - 7 years ago

I have this in one of my tanks. I have it on my plants. So I need to run my lights less? And use phosgard? Thanks!

PIPERON - 7 years ago

You got very healthy cichlid fishes there.
I have Covert cichlid, Jaquar cichlid and Blue Demsey cichlid too.

IFG - 7 years ago

+PIPERON awesome man, thanks

mike mcguinness - 7 years ago

Hey ifg ! Big fan . quick question . i am considering doing one of those 3 d foam backgrounds like the one behind u. But worried about using glass glue. Does that stay on forever ? If i want to change backgrounds will that glue remain behind? Do you have a video on this type of thing? Thanks.

IFG - 7 years ago

+mike mcguinness depends on wether or not your aquarium is glass or acrylic. For acrylic tanks you will need to use an extra strength silicone like GE silicone 1. Make sure not to use the mold resistant formula as it will affect your beneficial bacteria

dpwaslayer1 - 7 years ago

im having the same issue it sucks and i friggen love your set up !!!!!

dan hill - 7 years ago

that's one cool tank

IFG - 7 years ago

+dan hill Thanks man!

Bobby D. - 7 years ago

Turn your light off and put the tank in the dark for around three days. You'll kill ALL THE ALGAE with the darkness. Algae thrives on 3 things... Water, Nitrates, & UV LIGHT. Remove ONE of those & Algae CANNOT grow. Next ,change your tank bulb to one that does not emits UV light. I don't see any plants in there, so WHY use a "Growlight" bulb? Last, keep your tank out of a room that has a lot of natural sunlight. Guess where it's getting exposed to UV light?

xx.infinitely - 7 years ago

Bobby D., this was just an experiment to show what happens when you leave your lights on for too long.

skyler taunt - 7 years ago

I would consider that natural, as long as controlled. But i would have to agrey with you on the glass part-- ugly a f@&$!

inventoryking - 7 years ago

I rarely have the light on these days.

SHADOW 525 - 7 years ago

Why don't you just get a pleco or a snail

another special snowflake - 7 years ago

bob 525- Those are not good alternatives. Never get a fish to clean up algae

Aqua Man - 7 years ago

I can't see man...

TelxGaming - 7 years ago

I keep my light on 2-3 hours per day. Other than that, it's indirect sunlight lighting up their tank.

rayzimmermin - 7 years ago

my tanks are 13 on 11 off i don't have a algae problem because i have a proper habitat with plants and algae eaters poo eaters and upper mid and lower water column feeders in a community tank

also light is not bad for your fish as long as its not direct how long is the sun in the sky every day more then 12 as long as you have shady hangovers for your fish the light don't matter

also the algae is more of a sine of a lot of protein on the water then it is light as that algae is the same one used in a UGF and it can live without light also the algae is not a problem it just looks bad

also as long as their is a window in the room with your tank their is enough sunlight for algae to grow even with tank lights off 24/7

TheDarkest - 7 years ago

my lights are on a week strait

Tyler's Reef - 7 years ago

When I was on vacation a few weeks ago I had a timer malfunction and my lights stayed on for over 100 hours straight (I was gone 5 days). I came back and there was so much algae I couldn't believe it. Not to mention my fish looked horrible. Fortunately everything is back to normal.

IFG - 7 years ago

+Tyler's Reef damn that sucks. Glad you got it under control.

Richie T. - 7 years ago

I just turn the light on whenever I feed my fish or whenever I want to look at them. Other than that it's off

IFG - 7 years ago

+Richie T. Smart

Bosco Hemi - 7 years ago

Subbed just because you are so fussy.

IFG - 7 years ago

+Bosco Hemi lol thanks

Bryan BB005 - 7 years ago

Looks like I have black algae on my holy rock is that possible

IFG - 7 years ago

+Bryan BB005 yes it is

Stu-ool - 7 years ago

I put mine on for 13 hours a day. but my phosphates are at 1 so, That's why for me

busa89 - 7 years ago

My fluval timer for my led on my small tank stayed on after being reset during I'm assuming a power outage while I was on a one week vacation. My whole tank is covered in algae and my prefilter was completely plugged with diatoms.

Wade Higgins - 7 years ago

very nice setup

Lisa Combest - 7 years ago

I hate that stuff.

Dan Hiteshew - 7 years ago

Lol You call that algae? I'll show you diatom algae. Lol Your fish are looking great. (My lights are on 12 off 12)

Clutch mutch - 7 years ago

Dan!!

Bosco Hemi - 7 years ago

I was thinking the same thing. I run mine for 12 and 12 also. But hey nice tank and a little bit of algae looks good. Just my opinion. Thanks for the vid!

Dan Hiteshew - 7 years ago

Yeah, but 12 on is still a lot as far as algae is concerned. 8 on 16 off is probably better.

IFG - 7 years ago

+Dan Hiteshew that's because you're smart. I used too run mine 24/7 sometimes lol

lol ll - 7 years ago

Your fish look soooooooooo good

Joduwei - 7 years ago

This happens if you dont have any plants in an aquarium...

OnIoN4UrTrUbLeS - 7 years ago

The only reason why I would leave the lights on in my planted tank would be for the oto catfish. Oto catfish need the algea to thrive!

IFG - 7 years ago

+OnIoN4UrTrUbLeS thanks for the input

Malawi J - 7 years ago

When I start to see diotoms in my tank I know it's time to change my chemipure elite. As soon as I do it's gone in a day.

IFG - 7 years ago

+Malawi J thanks for the input bro

Matt Webster - 7 years ago

Do you run any UV IFG?

IFG - 7 years ago

+Matt Webster nah.

LAWRENCE BARD - 7 years ago

Good morning sir a little bit off subject but on water changes, I have a 180... how often do you do your water change I'm like every 7 to 10 days?? can one go longer then 10 days let's say between the 10 and 14 day...

IFG - 7 years ago

+LAWRENCE BARD I perform water changes based off of water test results. I test my water weekly. Thanks for tuning in

Billy Smith - 7 years ago

That rhoadessii tho!

Willie Fistergash - 7 years ago

Once i get rocks & algae i will just use my toothbrush to clean the rocks, guessing i need to make sure all the toothpaste is off??

OnIoN4UrTrUbLeS - 7 years ago

Billy Smith Yes that works I've done this with great results! Especially with plants.

Billy Smith - 7 years ago

Can you not just take them out and bleach them? 30 seconds and they are spotless, a bit of seachem safe and they aee bleach free.

Corey Hecker - 7 years ago

I use the lights less and less the longer I've been doing this.

Adam C - 7 years ago

Corey Hecker same, my lights are only on during videos

HalfMan HalfCichlid - 7 years ago

I think it looks natural. Why not add some brisstlenose plecos to clean it off if you want it gone?

Evan Coleman - 7 years ago

How are you going to clean your background and rocks ?✅✅

Evan Coleman - 7 years ago

IFG thank you for the info ✅✅

Willie Fistergash - 7 years ago

+IFG I just wish i had some rocks to clean off!! Thinking of borrowing my moms rocks from her flowerbed!!

IFG - 7 years ago

+Evan Coleman I'm going to take the rocks out to clean them, and use a sponge brush on the background

Bryan BB005 - 7 years ago

I get it from direct sunlight too should I put a blanket over the tank

IFG - 7 years ago

+Bryan BB005 maybe just close the curtains or blinds. Whichever you have

Bryan BB005 - 7 years ago

Is it harmful to the fish

Bryan BB005 - 7 years ago

Does it matter how long you run your blue lights for

Jordan's Fish Room - 7 years ago

i have mine on from 9am to 10pm every day no problems at all

KG cichlids - 7 years ago

That's what happens when you don't have a pleco in there anymore lmao

Billy Smith - 7 years ago

Ugh pleco's, regardless Of L# they have no use or need in a malawi tank

IFG - 7 years ago

+KG cichlids lol

KG cichlids - 7 years ago

IFG I ain't scared
