Hi father fish, i want to thank you. I had a struggling marine tank for a few years ( i incorporated algea back then to) and i watched you set up that marine tank on the older video. You only did 1 update and had a mandarin in it. Anyway i drove 2 hours to my beach got salt water and seaweed and some rocks and put them in. 99.9% of the seaweed died as it was from the atlantic but it was a massive success i have noticed my coral had longer polyps and overall looked healthy and my new macro algea grew in stronger. I just placed a new coral order due to the results. I have more copepods than ever and i feed my clown fish once a week if that. I am now planning a 120 gallon tank using your method. I am so pleased, greatful and thankful. Sincerely Kathryn

Did you ever do a follow-up to this tank? I'm interested to know if & how you managed to provide nutrients to the macroalgae over time? That's my problem having set-up the same tank. I couldn't find anything on discord. In the future I'd like to get corals too. I wonder how they get their nutrition in the sea.

@@ryanrogers8211 ignore him, whoever gave you that advice: whilst not exactly correct, they’re more on track than that guy is.. Notice how he caught all the livestock in the same radius that he took the sand, water & plants. Salinity, PH, nitrate levels etc, are all different depending where in the ocean you are. The most important factor is probably waste in this case. The bay he showed us on the map where he is collecting this habitat, has a high traffic of boats passing through, therefore lots of oil/contaminants in the water. It’s on the shoreline so other contaminants are in high concentration. If you dropped let’s say, a clown fish into this tank: I doubt it would fair too well. Basically, any aquatic life living in the area you took the water from will do well, if you want to use natural salt water for more exotic marine life, then you would need to take a boat out to sea and get “cleaner” salt water, even then if would still be advisable to filter the water before adding to the tank.

Not to say it’s not do-able, but then that’s when it goes back to what your friend said “you need to be a chemist” because you will need a lot of chemicals to balance out the water, it’s just much easier to buy RODI/RO/distilled water and mix it with salt

I have some Codium growing in my own marine aquarium under high lighting and very high nitrates/phosphates and it has developed some nice branches that my micro brittle stars love to hide within. Edit: whoops, looks like someone already pointed out the misidentification in the comments.

Wonderful natural approach as always father fish. Does the sand not go bad tho without soil underneath in a contained tank? I remember the first tank i set up i used sand only snd it went off with a foul smell presumably cause there was no oxygen getting through it. How often do you have to replace this salt water. Or like your natural approach to fresh water do you not change it?
@Michael-qw9kg
@Michael-qw9kg Год назад
You want your deep substrate to be oxygen deprived in order to create an environment to break down nitrates. As long as excessive food isn’t added, water shouldn’t be replaced, just topped off with RO as salinity won’t change.

Some additional notes: You need reverse Osmosis water to top off the tank. Just using tap water or new ocean water will throw off the concentrations of all the elements. Of course, this tank can't sustain corals, but even the macro algae will consume some of that. Not sure how well they do with just the fish waste for fertilization. So the occasional water change with ocean water may not be the worst idea...

I set one of these up (a 40g) and i had a lot of stuf like the seaweed die. Also I had a lot of my fish except for the killis of course, die during a really hot day. I take it that those fish can't handle high summer temps, but im still not sure exactly what did that to them.

important to feed rarely, only live, and limit algae growth early on. Heat can be a killer.

With this method are you able to add corals and the types of saltwater fish you see in the stores?

With some modifications, yes.

my first question I have father fish is should I still go dirt underneath the sand because once I heard about dirt on your channel it life was eye-opening so I would think that I would still want the dirt to be able to absorb all the nutrients you know, that’s what separates the moon from the Earth is that living poo we call dirt , its alive , so my gut tells me that I should still do dirt underneath the sand. so would you do just sand for a saltwater water?

Speaking of natural aquariums, I have set up one of the two natural aquariums that I will have. I got plants from you and I got plants from a guy named Dustin and Dustin has a has a fish place and he he sells plants now I want something to nourish the plants, and I wanted to ask if this was all right to use The oven the stuff is called plant booster. It’s a plant booster and it’s called grow with oh growth growth juice is what it’s called so I just want to know if that’s gonna do anything to harm the natural environment for the fish. Thank you so much and I did get plants from your store also so I have my first planted aquarium and I still need to move my fish into their new place.

@@FatherFish my substrate is 1 inch of dirt plus the of the stuff that you sent me that I purchased to enrich the soil and there’s 2 inches of sand on the top and I ordered the plants and they’re they both came today yours and Dustin‘s plants came today so I put them into the substrate I have not added any fish yet. That’ll happen in a day or so but it’s it is the the 1 inch of dirt and the 2 inches the sand and the water and the plants and the fish that’s what we have.p.
