I found by putting a weight on the top of it It's reduced the noise severely but it is amusing that that one pump is louder than the one that runs my fish room.
Great video! I bought a similar infrared heater panel, although quite a lot more money. I sat directly in front of it with it turned up to full power. I felt no heat from it! The actual unit was very hot but no was landing on me.
@henry5866 I was able to get my money back from my bank using the RU-vid video as evidence that it didn't work but unfortunately I still have the panel in the house taking up space as it cannot be disposed of regularly.
@EnglishAquarist My Lucky is a mostly white calico ranchu. I saw him at my local shop and thought he could be a milk cow ranchu. But no, Def a calico. I named him Lucky because someone had put a hold on him. I waited a week and the shop keeper told me I could buy him since the first person never came back to claim him. I was so lucky to have him so I named him Lucky 💓
@ellaaqua cute little ranchu. It's been ages since I've seen a fish being held for someone. Years ago I fell in love with two clownfish and placed a reserve on them while I got my quarantine tank ready and I think they were on hold for 3 days.
I am currently testing lots of different foods. So far the best one I found is Repashy Super Gold. I also like doing fresh vegetables everyday. I will hopefully in the next few months be building a website with all different foods I've tried available on it.
@@EnglishAquarist You may need to add another segment to make it the Ultimate Ultimate Sponge Filter in that case lol. Good luck, and post a video of that pond when it's done, would love to see it.
Thank you, I thought you would like the shubunkin. I bought some Bristols in the auction for an aquarium I look after. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get footage of the auction.
If you want water heated then direct heating by a water heater is most efficient. Water is I believe mostly transparent to infrared light, just as it is to visible light, and the reflective foil on the wall is reflective. Therefore you have very little heatable mass in the room that can absorb the infrared, get warm, and then indirectly warm the air. You would have been better ceiling mounting this so that it warms the floor. But as your floor is probably concrete poured on to ground, this would be better but not very efficient.
@@johnpublicprofile6261 thank you for your advice. I'm now using a oil-filled radiator and the thermal mass of all the aquariums to keep the room warm and it's working perfectly.
A naff quality product of any technology is a naff product. That in itself does not prove the technology nor any better quality products using the same technology are naff.
The calico one will grow way more than a foot and the red capped Oranda will grow up to 6 inches unless it is a larger species of oranda. The calico is either a wakin, shubunkin, or common goldfish. I would name the red capped oranda, lada and the calico one, commit
Interesting names, I will name one of my Ryukin fry Lada. Unfortunately both those goldfish infected my fish with Ich and sadly passed away. Luckily all the other fish made a full recovery.
I find the best way to tell the difference is to lower the temperature slowly and look for how they're reacting, the variatus will be more active at lower temperatures. However they do interbreed and most are a hybrid of both.
Cause I saved some goldfish eggs from my pond and I was worried that they were gonna grow fungus and end up dieing, so will they die from fungus or no?
The fungus isn't a guarantee. Some people will do the eggs without any methylene blue and they will not grow any fungus. I just like doing it with a methylene blue to add the extra protection.
Well, what can I say? The goldfish does look a bit fat so I’m not surprised they got stuck behind the filter maybe that one needs to go on a bit of a diet or take it out for walks. 😂
I can remove the base off of one of them and the top off the other and they click together as this model of sponge filters allows me to do this. I've tried it with several different brands of sponge filter and I found that all of them have worked for me.
I've insulated the room I'm currently in here at the moment sweating as it is 25°c and the the 2 KW heater that heats the room hardly ever comes on to maintain the temperature as the heat doesn't escape.
With the nitrate issue that you mentioned, do you have any ability to use a holding container to prep water for water changes ahead of time? Maybe it is worth having that type of a conditioning setup for your fishroom? There are various ways to set it up to aerate things out of the water over time, maybe there is something going on that you can't test for as well.... Groundwater contamination, etc.
I store 50% of the total volume of my aquariums in water butts and then use pothos to pull out the nitrates which is working. Also allows me to heat the water to the right temperature and use less water conditioner as I'm not conditioning the entire aquariums volume, just the amount being changed. I've tried nitrate removing resin which was costing me £10 every 100+ litres for changes.
Too bad about the folded gills... It happens with some shubunkin goldfish. I have had it a few times.. I try to cul those . One is so amazing.. I have kept one. Thanks for a great vid
Hi jae I don't want to interrupt this talk I've been looking at junior novex led microscope and the apex practitioner microscope what do u think thanks
I am currently looking into both of those, unfortunately I wasted my money on a digital one from amazon, I am sure the novex one is the ones I saw at Carp Co.
I haven't used either of them but if I was going to buy one it would probably be the Apex Practitioner Microscope. However the price of the junior novex is pulling me in. Either would do the job perfectly. I'm looking for a microscope that I can hook up to a computer so I can do recordings of looking at the slides.
I've similar story with a phone 😅 Worth getting one that is water resistant! I keep Tamasabas so would be interested in the single tailed fish. However, I'm in Scottish highland 😅
Good morning Funny thing is my phone is the Google pixel 7 which is water resistant and can be submerged for up to an hour in quite deep water. But it was the drop that cracked the screen and allowed water to get in. I do think the courier I will use does cover Scotland however, I do not know for sure. I've seen some beautiful videos of Tamasabas being kept with koi.
@@EnglishAquarist oh dear! Then I'm not surprised it didn't survive the dip. Team Pixel here as well, really good phones, definitely helps when they are water resistant.
At the rate they are growing, maybe 6 weeks maybe less. Once they are of size you're more than welcome to come and have a look yourself. Or if you cannot get here, I will do a video of them and you can screenshot the ones you would like. @nicolassumang8278
