you say you got your budfha from ebay so how did you make it fish safe?

Sean LB - 8 years ago

+Dakota Smith Simply get a stone budha and boil it to make sure you get rid of any bacteria, salts or anything similar, that will do :) I usually do that with stones.

Hi i just got a tank because of ur inspiring video ;) i just wanna know where did u get those bamboo shoots from? and does it have any paint on it? im afraid that if there's paint on it , it will ware off and may kill my fish =(

Jeff Kim - 5 years ago

The bamboo was from a wedding supply store (believe it or not). I can't remember the name of the store because it was so long ago. And it was in Los Angeles. I had to boil the sticks to prevent paint from dissolving into the aquarium water. The sticks lasted about 6 months until they began to rot :(

BuddhaIron - 10 years ago

yeah you might wanna do that...because this tank is legendary! lol I mean 24 thousand hits!

yes, boil it. The heat expands the "pores" so it allows more water to readily flow through. In the pot, I'd keep a lid on cus I heard horror stories of how it can explode :-o

kimotion - 11 years ago

it's just stock music you can use for free when uploading on youtube. There are options to include unlicensed free music.

kimotion - 11 years ago

hey, they sell similar buddhas at petsmart dot com now. Just type "buddha" in the search. The one I had in my video is not meant for aquariums.

kimotion - 11 years ago

I had java ferns on one side, anubias nana on the other side and hornwort throughout. I don't have this setup anymore cus I had to move but thinking of a new aquascape in the very near future!

kimotion - 11 years ago

Hello, I got the buddha from eBay. they don't always have them listed. Petsmart actually sells a similar buddha now and they are specifically meant for aquariums. The music was stock music that you can include when you load a video on youtube

kimotion - 11 years ago

Hello Everyone, PetSmart is actually selling Buddhas specifically for aquariums now (the one in my video is from eBay and not specifically made for aquariums. Just go to petsmart dot com and type in "buddha" in the search!

kimotion - 11 years ago

they are ghost shrimp

kimotion - 11 years ago

it's not real bamboo :)

kimotion - 11 years ago

Well I'm not religious. I would have a crucifix in it as well but it won't look as cool.

twyno6 - 12 years ago

Nikki Jayne - 12 years ago

Was it meant for aquariums? I would like to do something similar and have a very similar Buddha but don't know if it is okay for the tank?

Loe307uh - 12 years ago

This needed to be 30 min. so I can go full screen and just sit back and relax. Great tank.

jamesndarlene - 12 years ago

I like this tank! That is beautiful.... Thank you for uploading this video. What kind of plants do you have in it??

Jeff Kim - 5 years ago

The background plant was hornwort. The plants to the left are anubias nanas and the plants to the right are java ferns

TEJASN324 - 12 years ago

@HauntedVDream Beta are tropical all freshwater

kantwinnada - 12 years ago

I could prob look at that tank for hours! I also have betta and had never thought of putting a zen tank in for him. Poor guy lives all alone in a 20 gal tank. :(

bahamut285 - 12 years ago

Where did you get the dried bamboo sticks from? I assume that they will rot so you'd have to change them often? Or are they sealed?

shotokun16 - 12 years ago

@kimotion looked all over and cant find that statue on ebay or amazon. Do you have the sellers contact? Also, what are the dimensions on that statue? thanks

kimotion - 12 years ago

@Miyuki1Miyahara614 thanks for the advice! I never thought of that.

kimotion - 12 years ago

@MrWeeChang It's stock music that comes with any youtube upload. There is an option to choose what sountrack to use with the video

kimotion - 12 years ago

@vrballard I got the buddha from ebay :)

kimotion - 12 years ago

@Drewmeikleham yes, that is exactly what I did! If you boil it, the stone expands a bit, letting more water fill up, thus expelling the trapped air that made the stature float in the first place.

kimotion - 12 years ago

@jerryxiong1744 the plants are real :)

s2ktuner - 12 years ago

hey man nice tank, i just got done with my 10 gallon tank let me know what you think.. check it out in my channel, btw what song is this?

Cammy O - 12 years ago

@kimotion I love the tank looks so peaceful :) you could always look in your local dollar store they might fake bamboos so you dont have to keep throwing them out :)

antieye555 - 13 years ago

whoa really cool

Lee Smith - 13 years ago

Alot of people have done this kind of set up with bamboo and a buddah and i think it looks amazing! my buddah is alot smaller in my betta tank though! beautiful betta!

kimotion - 13 years ago

@mikepags Tanks for the compliment! Unfortunately the bamboo started to rot so I needed to get rid of them :( I wish they made ornaments of bamboo specifically for fish tanks!

Flitzer999 - 13 years ago

Awesome tank! How is the bamboo holding up. I've heard on one hand that is lasts a long time, then on the other hand, I've heard it can rot and contaminate the water. Did you have to coat it with anything?
