what width is this tank? and the light model

Michael x - 7 years ago

how come you used two A160/150 and not a single A360?

coolwater411 - 7 years ago

Substrate?

Phil Collins Jr. - 7 years ago

Did you change your filter media?

Marius Schürmann - 7 years ago

What's the name of the red plant in the back? Is that a kind of rotala?
Looks great!

Bridgeport Fishkeeper - 7 years ago

A sponge on the end of the filter intake is also a good option to keep any small inhabitants from getting into the filter. Just getting back into the hobby again and love your content in the videos.

So you put fish, crs, rcs in an uncycled tank with fresh ada? poor choices. nothing is needed to cycle ada as it leaches a large amount of ammonia

why is the substrate SO deep?

Edna Dickinson - 7 years ago

Hi, I have a question from an old video(2014): CO2 paint ball 24oz, mini, is enough for a 55G?

Matt Los - 7 years ago

What intensity do you have you kessils running up to?

JacobsAquarium - 7 years ago

Full intensity. Thanks for watching.

Steven Bolton - 7 years ago

Hi Jacob! I really love your content and I'm also going to start a high tech planted tank soon. I wanted to ask you why you aren't using an inline CO2 diffuser or a reactor anymore? Had any problems with them?

JacobsAquarium - 7 years ago

Hi! I like inline diffusers and reactors, however they're a bitch to set up and they can only work with either a canister filter or a pump hooked up to them. Its such a pain plumbing all that stuff and hoping it doesn't leak. Not to mention allot of the reactors or inline stuff currently being produced is made so cheaply out of brittle plastic and they don't last. Its just so much easier to stick a diffuser in a tank and let it run, it may not diffuse the co2 100% but its just enough to give the plants what they need to grow good. Thanks for watching.

I like the tank it looks good in the video.

Caleb's Rc crawlers. - 7 years ago

JacobsAquarium your welcome.

JacobsAquarium - 7 years ago

Thanks!

Debbie Clayton - 7 years ago

Looking forward to the updates!

SoFlo Exotic Life - 7 years ago

I like the x-rays

Scott Barker - 7 years ago

hi jacob lovely build cannot wait to see the tank once the plants have grown

Mapantz1 - 7 years ago

X-Ray tetras! I have some of these in my planted tank too. As well as a whole host of other tetras. Ignore the dislikes Jacob, it means people are watching, and are jealous. :-)

Jonniethai - 7 years ago

why not polystyrene on the bottom?

JacobsAquarium - 7 years ago

Why not a sheet of pine plywood?

cool video

Allyson Chains - 7 years ago

You are amazing. It's fun to interact, see honesty, & results whilst enjoying the plants I bought from you:) I added shrimp too & holy jeez they keep the tank clean.

McMerwe Farms - 7 years ago

Hi. Nice tank!

Mithras - 7 years ago

Looking forward to more episodes to come 0.0 LOVE THE CONTENT!! Keep it up!!

Fresh Impact Co. - 7 years ago

love the setup by the way, though it would have been cool to have added a little variation on the substrate and perhaps been a little more creative maybe on the gradient of your substrate to add depth to it?

However, each to our own and really a setup is a very personal choice based on ones own preference.

Fresh Impact Co. - 7 years ago

lol...

You didn't go and blow your budget on the ADA tank and substrate by any chance?

I find that when I do a setup I always find myself a little short on cash after the tank is setup and I'm ready for planting and fish haha.....

MrGubrz - 7 years ago

just do a DIY polisher using a waterbottle, fluff, and a power head you prolly have laying around... put it in over night and take it out in the morning if you get too much debris in the tank

jessumano al - 7 years ago

yup, HC is also my favorite plant in the hobby.

Sshooter444 - 7 years ago

Holy jeezz, that's a lot of soil

I'm not a planted tank guy, but I do enjoy your videos. Just wanted to say, why don't you remove that cover from the aquaclear filter intake and put a prefilter sponge on it? No shrimp can get sucked in and you have some mechanical filtration. I bought a a large pack off eBay for a few bucks.

Noel Velasquez - 7 years ago

Looks good man

Rick T. Foster - 7 years ago

It looks amazing! Good video... can't wait to see the outcome.

JJ Aquariums - 7 years ago

What's the brown substrate called

JJ Aquariums - 7 years ago

+JacobsAquarium when planting plants do you just need that do is there other things I need to put in the substrate to help plants grow

JacobsAquarium - 7 years ago

The substrate is called ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia. Thanks for watching :)

j03yYunG Aquariums - 7 years ago

Nice!! I hope those Erio Japan Shiga do well for you. Looks like they're adjusting nicely.

j03yYunG Aquariums - 7 years ago

Np. Wait until they fully grow out for you. It'll look super nice. Check out my recent Eriocaulon video if you want to see some ~4-5" size.

JacobsAquarium - 7 years ago

I agree! Thanks again man, great plants! :)

Kylie Rutschke - 7 years ago

Watched you a couple years back when I first got into the hobby. Recently rediscovered your channel. Happy to see that you're still putting out quality content

lundiboy8 - 7 years ago

What are your kessil light settings if you don't mind me asking. I have a similar set up except I have an aquaclear 110 on mine with biohome media and have my co2 right under the intake going Into the propeller. I havnt noticed bubbles really and my ph controller drops to my desired level in no time at all.

JacobsAquarium - 7 years ago

I have the kessil's on the brightest setting tuned to the more yellowish color. Thanks for watching! :)

Allison Pets - 7 years ago

Damn that intro was sweet!:D

JacobsAquarium - 7 years ago

Thanks!

Carl Shayne Castillo - 7 years ago

The substrate is so thick in the front! Aren't you adding some stones or any driftwood?

JacobsAquarium - 7 years ago

Yes it is, I like it this way. The plants have plenty of nutrients to sink their roots into. I don't plan on adding hardscape. Thanks for watching :)
