Hi there! I'm not the biggest aquarium hobbyist in the world but I like to educate people on how to setup and maintain a beautiful aquarium that friends and family will be envious about. It's a great hobby and takes a bit of knowledge, but once you get it down. It seriously beats looking at a screensaver of fishes! if you are a fishkeeper/aquarium hobbyist please do subscribe to the channel and support... 🙂
2 days and not 100% clean?!?! nah no thank you, ill stick to the clorox method and be done in less than 30 minutes thank you. But nice video, something different that i didnt know about on how to clean diffusers
Good set up if you are trying to breed? Is that your goal? I am new to this hobby. I got two assasin snails but I don't see them much in my tank. I have a five gallon tank and a buttload of bladder snails
@@shahshank not a goal to multiple them. I did have 2 of them, and in a year they are more than 50. If you have 5, than you have good chance that they will definitely multiple. Small tip when you see there eggs. Don't change water often.
Hello master. Congratulations for the beautiful channel. I would like to ask you for advice: To build a 120 liter Shallow tank what type of acrylic nn should I use, and above all its thickness. Thanks.
I'd love to diy my acrylic tanks, do you have any reccommend which brand of acrylic binder adhesive out there in the market that give seamless glueing?
I'm amazed that all you use for welding is cyanocrylate, everyone online says to use Weld-On #4 (I'm just learning about acrylic tank building now and contemplating doing it!) Are cyanocrylate and the Weld-On stuff the same thing? Do you ever have issues with snails/urchins (no idea if you do saltwater as I only just discovered you,) scratching the inside of the glass?❤ Thank you for the informative videos!
Never had an issue since 4 years. Also did nano tank with same method. No, cyanoacrylate and weld on are not the same thing. Weld-on is a premium thing. Cyanoacrylate has many grades. One I have used on this tank is an industrial grade. Weld on and cyanoacrylate works the same. They both melt the acrylic sheet and make acrylic one piece. Thank you stay tuned.
The organisms you point to at the very beginning of the video are not actually detritus worms. They are a relatively large single-celled organism called Spirostomum - Spirostomum is a type of ciliate closely related to Paramecium, and they are extremely common in aquariums, especially blackwater tanks with a lot of decaying plant matter. Spirostomum eat smaller microbes, like bacteria. They are completely harmless to fish and may actually be a food source for baby fish. They can form a white, fungus-like mass around abundant food sources.
This is some great footage. I recently had an assassin snail hitch a ride in a large carpet of grass I purchased, and it's such a fascinating snail that's very different from any others I've had.
I love assassin snails I've now got loads of baby eggs around my tank..ekk I can't wait for those ickle guys to hatch😁Fascinating to watch when eating coz they remind me of Alien 🤣
Hi, I have multiple questions after watching your video. 1. Just that glue is enough to tolerate the water pressure in the long run? 2. How about the black molds built in the tank in the corners of the acrylic by the time? 3. I believe that the light will not reflect more in the acrylic, so how better is it compared to the glass tank? Did you try and experience it? 4. And lastly, acrylic is easier to get scratches on while cleaning the tank compared to glass. Thanks
@@mubasheer5584 Hi. Thank you for the visit. 1. A tank of this size can tolerate the pressure. However, I had also made a 120-liter acrylic tank. That tank is also currently going well. You can see in the previous video of that. But I don't recommend making a big tank this way. 2. I use microfiber cloth for all of my acrylic tanks. Works fine. Here is my maintaining video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nx6clRV_7MI.html 3. Never felt that. 4. Correct. yes, they are prone to scratching. Stay tuned.
I hate to be that guy, but cyanoacrylate (superglue) is not meant for structural acrylic builds. Will it bond the panels? Sure, but they will come apart over time. Not to mention your use of an activator (acetone), which creates micro cracks in acrylic. For anyone building an acrylic aquarium, use a solvent such as Weldon 4. Weldon does not "glue" the panels, instead it melts the acrylic, making two pieces into one.
