The Tank update is on linked in the description. Another soon to happen. I also am a reptile enthusiast. One of my best friends here next to me has over 120 species of turtles, dwarf caimans, and hundreds of amphibians. He owns Side Neck turtles, Snake Neck turtles, Fly river, Chirta Chitra, Diamond Back, Wood Turtles. I have a reptile house at my disposal 3 min away from my house.

sorry I have forgotten what I was saying but Im a reptile enthusiast and I think that I forgot the name you called them and I knew that they where strip neck musks and a loggerhead are the same species. Or I thought that you had the name wrong because some people call alligator snappers loggerheads.love the tank make a new vid plz. nice music

Beautiful tank.  I' m pretty sure,  I know you.  I use to eat,  a lot,  at a little restaurant, on Hixson Pike.   Again, love it and is there someone, in this area, who could help me get my little 55 gallon,  kind of like yours and is it possible, with that small, of a tank?

I will run by Ponds and Plants.  I live in Lakesite.  Around 2 miles, at the most, from the restaurant.  Thanks.
LostMexicanFilms
LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago
You can do it with your 55. We just need to set up a sump or water reservoir under your tank. I would suggest hunting for a 65 or bigger and trading in your 55. If you live close to Dayton. Go visit ponds and plants. It's a fish store in Dayton. They have really good prices on used big tanks. You know like 90's and 125's
LostMexicanFilms
LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago
You can do it with any size, and yes you do know me. If you watch the update video on this tank you will find the 75 gallon tank from that restaurant. And the 175 that is in the bottom of this video the one with the turtles is the second tank from the restaurant.

6:23 this rule goes along with tarantulas as well. I had a 300 gallon setup for tarantulas and before anyone gets all butt hurt here me out. All the tarantulas need is enough room to live in their own spaces and its fine. I was breeding tarantulas and when I saw the eegsack was getting ready to hatch I placed them in a nice spot and they all just wondered around and barely ever noticed each other. And the species is one from a small island and with so many T's in nature they have to live together. I put about a hundred wingless fruit flies in every 2 weeks and i haven't had any problems for the 3 years of keeping these.

I don't have any video's as the company I work at is a private company so i'm not aloud to record. The vivarium itself is one of a kind and is on display. And most herpers do get into arachnids so yeah having a T is something most of us have.

LostMexicanFilms
LostMexicanFilms - 7 years ago
Because i Love Ironies. A small inexpensive fish with a high reproductive rate, one of the smallest musk turtles, highly aggressive fighting fish. Everybody wants big fish in big tanks. I have a 500 gallon set up with small fish, a 20,000 gallon with Bonzai Koi. My next aquarium will be 3 times as large and I'm considering Poecilia winger, Stiphodon ornatus, Beta Macrostoma, and Tanichthys albonubes. Don't be like everybody else. Be different!

jerrimy seavers - 8 years ago
a few concerns i would like to mention 1 snails leave alot of waste and breed lots you will have a ammonia spike as they breed more and more. Snails shells absorb alot of calcium to grow there shells and you tank wont sustain enough calcium for 2 months . and your plants moss and fish absorb minerals and nutrients from the water and will only grow and demand more and more of them . Only way to replace them is dosing or water changes . Just my opinion i have alot of experience but i wish you luck

LostMexicanFilms

The tank has run for almost 4 years now without incident. And my last maitanance was 2 years ago. I'm gone 3 months at the time so it has to be an autonomous fish tank.
LostMexicanFilms
LostMexicanFilms - 8 years ago
Automatic water changes are scheduled once a week. 30percent every change. Egg shells, cuttlefish bone, deer antlers and the shells of dead snails usually keep the calcium hungry creatures happy. If the snails overpopulate the logger head turtles cull them off to a manageable level. It's all a cycle, keeps things interesting.

+rc2300s2r still just way too serious for a comment about a YouTube fish tank vid. I honestly think it is a great setup and it looks like 500 to me. whether it's two tanks or not, like he said its ran on the same system withcthe same water.
rc2300s2r
rc2300s2r - 7 years ago
chris sanchez I never criticized "it". I do think it's a great set up. It's not a back handed compliment. There's two different things going on here. I'm just saying he is misleading everyone with his title. You said go watch another video which is a completely overused and tunnel vision comment. How am I suppose to know it's misleading until I watch it. He even says it's a 487 gallon but calls it a 500. Is it so hard to say and type what it actually is or do you think him saying "My 500 gallon tank" makes him feel better? "My 487 gallon multi tank setup" still has a great ring to it. I just call 'em how I see 'em. Trust, creditability and honesty ya know.

This is still 3 separate but connected Reservoirs, Cisterns, Or pools. 500 Gallon Aquarium Setup would be more accurate and still eye catching. Setup implying the entire assembly is a total of 500 gallons even if not confined to one tank. Semantics aside, its really great a great setup.

@Rinnemi. Hey if you're going to say ignorant comments expect to get called on it. I complemented his set up in an earlier comment. Guess you missed that. I also told the OP that his title is going to deceive 100% of people that click on it. Two different points. Kind of like if I tell you to go suck a 12 inch dick but when you show up all excited and drooling it's actually two guys with 6 inch dicks. Ahh bummer for you. Or is it?

Again: Tank: originally from Indian vernacular for a large artificial water reservoir, cistern, pool, etc.....

I titled the Video 500 gallon Fish Tank... not 500 gallon Aquarium... A tank is an artificial body of water all connected in the same cycle. If you want to call it separate Aquariums yes i will grant you that... but even then you don't say "hey lets go visit the Georgia Aquariums" it is said "The Georgia Aquarium is the Largest Salt water aquarium in the world."

Im not trying to start a comment section argument. I'm just letting you know i used proper labeling and proper english definitions.

Sounds like you are horribly butthurt that someone got a decent fish for a decent price
Bleu Marina
Bleu Marina - 8 years ago
+Nero Zero Nope, I can guarantee you that most winning show guppies will sell for much more. Same with bettas. I attended an IBC show a while back and they auctioned off some fish. My friends sold some quality breeding pairs - they all sold for over $40. So your betta probably wasn't IBC material. If he won anything, it was probably a tiny local show. Look on Aquabid - even bettas that weren't shown yet are at least $20. If you told a betta breeder that a big award winning betta was worth $6, he'd probably laugh!
Nero Zero

I said SHOW fancy guppies, not your regular ol pet store fancy guppies. I know a show fancy guppy breeder, his guppies sold for over $80, not just 2 or 3 bucks.

The guppies you feed to your frogs are probably feeder guppies, not fancy guppies like these ones. Ever seen show fancy guppies? They're quite expensive and really beautiful fish that breeders take lots of time to breed perfectly. Not all of them are used as feeders like yours...

I really love your set up and want our show tank to be like yours.
Bruce Samuelson
Bruce Samuelson - 8 years ago
+LostMexicanFilms I can't speak for their reproductive cycle, but if you are looking for another hearty fish. I would suggest Mollies. I bought 6 Mollies to use to help cycle my tank with expecting most of them to die. I bought them because they were cheap and colorful. They survived not only cycling that tank, but are still thriving despite putting them in another uncycled tank. I planned on getting rid of them once the tank cycled but they really endeared themselves to me. So I grabbed a ten gallon tank we had in storage and set it up for them.
LostMexicanFilms
LostMexicanFilms - 8 years ago
I feed my guppies to my plants, snails, turtles, dragon fly larva, angelfish, and betta fish... So I guess I have one up on you. And yeah guppies are a dream fish... If you have another fish that can survive over 3 months without weekly supervision, or a fish that can withstand 7.4 chlorinated tap water in my automatic water changes, or a fish that can reproduce faster than the predators can consume them... Then please let me know. I would love to find me a more resilient fish. Thanks for asking though.

You get incredible respect, for not only a beautiful planted aquarium, WITH guppies but you also like 20's music. You're a champion, well done! People hate guppies so much, I love them. I've been selectively breeding the same generation of guppies (adding and removing males) for the past 7 years now, recently decided to switch into salt water, and with guppies being brackish water I successfully converted my guppy tank as well as all the pond snails to full salt water (1.024 sg). People are like "WHY?!", the reason is so i can put my guppy tank in line with my salt water and it's sump, and i can use the light from the guppy tank to grow macro algae, so i can double my guppy aquarium as a refugium. Guppies are so much healthier now too, hopefully their colours become more pronounced from generations in salt water.
TheDrakenZ
TheDrakenZ - 8 years ago
+LostMexicanFilms Yeah absolutely agreed. Ever since i made the switch to salt water it's been a hassle. I miss planted freshwater for the aspect of not having to change the water all the time. I'm trying to figure out good methods of keeping the water good without having to change it so much. Salt is expensive lol. Theres a bright side though, i can use the salt water from water changes to de-ice my driveway in the winter.

awesome setup! what do you do to get rid of the nitrates? or do you have enough plants to absorb it? And I suppose you have a mechanism that tops off water? I'm particularly interested in the top off system, could you tell me a little about it?
LostMexicanFilms
LostMexicanFilms - 8 years ago
Another way to do it, now that you have the auto top off system is just to use an airline tube and siphon your main tank into your overflow or drain every once in a while. That way your auto top off will continue to add water for several hours. Just remember to stop the siphon before there is more tap than aged water. And that your temp doesn't fall below 60 Fahrenheit. Like I said i let that run for 6 hours or so. Once left it overnight. Water was clear.... Clear .... Clear... All my critters had to pull out and start using their winter wardrobe though.
LostMexicanFilms
LostMexicanFilms - 8 years ago
Your sump must have an overflow, or your fish tank. Then from Walmart or any store you buy an automatic gardening water timer. Set it up to ad 20 percent of your water volume every 2 weeks. Or if you are a little more tech savi you can buy an irrigation silinoid and set that up with a 24 v power supply also on a timer. I usually do automatic water changes for 6 hours every 2 to 3 weeks.
TheMarKing18

Go to tractor supply or your cattle or animal feed store. It's called a water top off valve. It cost 10.00 dollars and it attaches to a regular hose. It's a miniature floter like your toilet has and it will keep the water always at the same level. Then if you want to know how to do automatic water changes send me another message.

LostMexicanFilms

Tank space, and plenty of hiding places.
Example, if you had a 50 gallon tank that was empty, just water and gravel, you could have maybe 15 to 20 fish. They stress out when they have no where to hide or when they see each other to often.
Same 50 gallon tank, now full of plants, drift wood, lace rock or volcanic, with really good filtration.... You could have 60 to 75 fish. I know because I have done it and it was awesome. Everything needs to be stocked at the same time, that way you don't have fish with territories established when you add new fish. Filtration filtration filtration....

Never noticed any live fish missing. Most turtles are not tank turtles though. Fully aquatic turtles are the ones needed. Mine are logger head musk turtles they feed on snails, plants and dead fish.

I have had up to 3 male bettas in one 20 gal. tank before. You just stagger the ages and they do well. Also, have lots of hiding places. I currently have 3 females and one small male in one tank. They get along fine. They do buck for seniority, but that's natural. BTW--Love the tanks!!!!! I would love to have something like that. I was just like you...didn't like fish, but my daughter moved and couldn't take it with her, so my love grew. My intent is to grow mine as well. I recently purchased a 50 gal. and once I can get a full grip on it, I will keep going. My intent is to turn the garage into my fish room and connect as many tanks together as possible.
LostMexicanFilms
LostMexicanFilms - 8 years ago
Nice, I have designed my next house and it is designed around a fish room. The living room wall shows all the tanks, I'm thinking 3 or 4 big ones. The fish room is in the same location as the laundry room, that way I have access to hot, cold water and a drain. Multiple drains. Look me up agin when you plan on hooking 2 or more together. You need only ONE water reservoir and only ONE good pump. A good friend of mine runs 3000 gallons, all in 30 gal tanks.Only one pump only one air bubbler. 3 or 4 heaters only for the whole system. I can draw you some sketches of the plumbing when you are ready.

+dajoke24 Got wild plants from creeks and springs, put them my fish tank. There must have been eggs in the plants because a few months later dragon flies were flying around in the sump room, they lived out their life cycle, and died. few moths later their "children" hatched and lived out their life cycle, at the time of the video, the dragon fly "grandchildren" were flying around. Right now its like the 5th generation. They eat water flees and surface micro bugs.

ok but there must be a way of self sustaining salt water aquarium I mean then how the sea does it? It must be a way, probably is more expensive. and 1000 bucks here in my country is triple the amount so it would be like 3000 bucks and with that i can feed my family for 5 months!! but again, is gorgeous and the part i love the most is that is self sustained full ecosystem with real plants and all!! I guess ill stick with the "ghetto Im broke aquarium" tutorial that is here on youtube so i can get started at this.
LostMexicanFilms
LostMexicanFilms - 8 years ago
Ha ha, thanks, but I would not consider myself wealthy, the whole set up is custom and I have probably only spent 1000 dollars over a period of 8 years. Seriously the whole thing cost 1000 dollars. Oh and it's fresh water, if it were salt I could not have it take care of itself for 3 months out of the year. Salt tanks require a lot of babysitting.

I was going to make a tutorial on that... and forgot. didn't even take pictures. Take white styrofoam board. Brake it or melt it into the shapes you want on your backdrop, use a can of GreatStuff insulation foam to stick it to the back of the tank. Now that you have your foam structure. Grab a paint brush. Mix cement with a colored soil. (red clay, or black dirt, yellow sand) make a watery paint like mix and brush it on to your concrete. if you want stronger colors lowes and home depot have cement dye.

Yes this is possible, all though betas are known to be fish to lie on their own because they will attack the others, well this is not entirely true as they will only attack another Betta, I have had guppies in my fish tank for a while now and through out them years I have had 3 betas and yes they can live with them as I have one with them right now. In fact my Betta live with about 4 other breeds of fish. But do be careful with the types of fish as fin nippers will attack you Betta. When you go to ur fish shop make sure the fish to go with your Betta are as what is know as "community fish" do not get anything else in the same tank. Hope this helped

My goodness that's lovely. Most people who grow aquatic plants in their system are afraid to use wet/dry or sump filtration for fear of CO2 loss. Since you're spending multiple months away from home, do you have a contingency in place for automatic water changes? Or does this system not need very frequent maintenance?
LostMexicanFilms
LostMexicanFilms - 9 years ago
Automatic water filler, you know kind of like one would find in a horse or cow drinking troff. Also I'm about to install a water timer, so it does a 1 hour water change every week. You can find one in an ice maker, or in the lawn and garden area at Walmart

LostMexicanFilms
LostMexicanFilms - 9 years ago
The guppies, Turtles, snails, and plants eat or consume fish food. Turtles eat guppies, fish food and snails. The snails consume plants, dead guppies, and poop. The plants consume uneaten food, dead anything, and poop. Do you begin to see how everything kinda eats everything. "It's the circle of life Simba"
LostMexicanFilms
LostMexicanFilms - 9 years ago
The turtles are logger head turtles, they eat snails mostly and the guppies that have gotten sick or died, that is if the snails do not get to the fish first. Part of establishing an ecosystem involves finding a suitable predator or scavenger, in this case both.

First thing I have to say, WOW!!! Secondly, thanks a lot. My daughter just found your video and made me watch it. She just set up her first tank and wants a second. Now, I want to set up a tank. Your eco-system you have set up is just beautiful in every way. Turtles, snails, local sourced plants and driftwood. WOW, and I really love your innovative filtration system and your feeding system. WOW, I am so impressed.
The plants/moss that's growing on your faux rocks, how do you make it safe for your aquarium? I grow that type on my giant rocks in my garden and would love to put some in the tank. Is there a place on line that you source your info for your aquarium? Actually, have you thought about doing an aquarium blog or website that uses your idea's on aquarium set up?
My daughter, 17, needs that type of info sourcing website to learn more. Your obviously a lover of nature and this aquarium makes that obvious. Thank you for sharing this with us.
And Benny Goodman piece you have playing, Perfect Touch. Thanks!!!!! (Oh, Im sharing this on my Pinterest page.)

+LostMexicanFilms what is this betta 3 video your talking about ? Love your set up. I just started and in 2 months moved from 1 gallon to 2 gallon to 30 gallon and now just cycled a 60 gallon haha , but I have 2bettas . 1 is still in its 1 gallon and the other is thriving in the 60 gallon, would love to see this video ur talking about so I can have the other one live with him thanks. I soon hopefully will start doing DIY once i learn how to maintain the tank properly .

Thank you, I learned thru trial and error, I would love to see people more into the hobby. I hated fish as pets cause why would anyone have a pet you CANNOT pet? I wish I had made a tutorial. Ask any questions and I would love to help. I can point you to the videos that helped me and also what I learned NOT to do.

ok i just wanna say..
HOLY CRAP THIS IS AWESOME.
I feel like the plants would attract bugs, and I'm sure you must have some leaking. Somewhere. Does this make it hard to maintain?

+Joseph Farah No Leaks, the only flooding i had was when i left the water running in to the tank for 45 min... the overflow could not keep up with it. Yeah, dragon flies bread well back there. i have a few water bugs and some leaches. its a full ecosystem. Got back from Alaska 2 weeks ago and everything was fine. 3 months alone!

+Eric B I was going to make a tutorial on that... and forgot. didn't even take pictures. Grab a paint brush. Mix cement with a colored soil. (red clay, or black dirt, yellow sand) make a watery paint like mix and brush it on to your concrete. if you want stronger colors lowes and home depot have cement dye.
