Excellent tutorial. But it's cut off at the end. Is there a part 2?

Zach Mason - 7 years ago

Food feeds the fish the fish poo feeds the plants and then the plants feed fish oxygen

This is cool! With these plans I am sure to build hundreds of woodworks [Check Details Here⇒>☞★☞https://plus.google.com/u/3/110086446704524205338/posts/AdB3e6wj7Uj ]. I'm now on the finishing stage of building a wooden bed, after that I will go on to build side stools, drawers, shelves etc. Thank you for such a rich collection. I'm grateful.

A fish tank near water sockets what could go wrong

Raging Bull - 7 years ago

I have a 75 gallon tank sitting around. It has a huge pump and I want to get it up and running again. Last time we had a hair algae problem, I want to grow plants but I cant afford the heating cables and fancy minerals I need to grow them. They always grew fine for me, but got too big. This time I want to run a tank with just some Neon Tetra, and a Red Tailed Shark Minow. I would also appreciate some recommendation for underwater grass. That doesn't get too big. Something for the fish to swim around in. ( I have a pump, a heating staff, sand, and gravel to work with. That pretty much it. I just wanna keep neon Tetra and a Red Tailed shark since they're my favorite and I've had a red tailed shark for 4-5 years before he died, very hardy fish.)

Nicholas Ledian - 7 years ago

I'm looking to breed shrimp. I purchased a 10 gallon online along with a filter, liquid co2 java moss and some lights. I also have an air bubbler and fish food left over along with good substrate. I have my tank and my shrimp come in the mail TOMORROW but because of the way the mailroom works at my college I can't get the substrate, filter, co2 or java moss for another 4 days after my shrimp arive. Is it okay to leave them how I got them for that time?? Or should I try to introduce them to tap water? I purchased a litter of beta water just in case. Btw I have 30 shrimp on the way. Even if I just separate half and save them what do I do!! Please help me

How do you clean aquarium?
If needed to clean, all things should be taken out?

Sam Cutland - 7 years ago

Zara Saman when cleaning a planted aquarium you leave the plants in place, you clean the gravel, glass and decorations normally. Although when you get close to the roots of the plants just place the gravel cleaner on top of the gravel

Tommy Black - 7 years ago

I enjoyed this. It's a pity that it stopped before it was done. Now, we'll never know what happened, lol. Was the heroine rescued?

Some of the pronunciations were wrong, especially décor, which should sound like daycore. The text even showed the acute accent over the e (é). The music was unnecessary and mildly annoying.

But, a nice video.

I am not convinced that an external carbon dioxide supply is needed. The fishes will supply that. Four inches of substrate is not really needed, and why have a heater under the substrate when there is a water heater?

During the CO2 portion of the video (~11:30-12:00 min mark) there is some type of a connector for the CO2 and water pump. This connector is used to disperse the CO2 via the pump. What is it called? I can't seem to find it with any searches.

Brody Penn - 8 years ago

Do you need real decor or can it all, including plants, be fake?

sunjay sharma - 8 years ago

Live plants also make it so you can perform fewer water replacements

chefdan87 - 8 years ago

Yes it can be all fake if that is your preference. The live stuff just gives that realistic look that plastic just cant achieve.

So it CAN all be fake

+Tommy Black I know my anubias isn't supposed to be buried either.

Josia Gommel - 7 years ago

Tommy Black, java fern?

Phil Shull - 7 years ago

There is a heated cable on the bottom of the substrate of this setup. That helps with circulation (aerobic areas - a lot of oxygen for beneficial bacteria).
If there is no heat cable there most likely will not be enough circulation through the substrate for a deep substrate (more than 2 inches) causing stagnant areas (anaerobic areas - not enough circulation causes a lack of oxygen over time and bad bacteria thrive in those conditions).

Tommy Black - 7 years ago

The aquarium store that I go to sold me two plants that are not to be pushed into the substrate. I had never heard of that before.

Allie Fettig - 8 years ago

+siva kumar You're welcome.

siva kumar - 8 years ago

Thanks

Jason Anderson - 8 years ago

I think some plants need, or might do better in deeper substrate.

Jesse Raine - 8 years ago

Probably because it has a heater cable under it.

Coeur Tendre - 8 years ago

He said when full it weighs around 280 pounds, water weighs 10 lbs per gallon so a 28 gallon tank would be around 280 pounds. It's 28 gallons, like +Fade StatTrak said.

Scott George - 8 years ago

this is common, this is a biological bloom known as new tank syndrome, just let it settle on its own, this can last up to 2 weeks, whatever you do dont change any water this will prolong the cloudyness, hope this helps
