Nice job as a lot of people don’t realize that their ammonia can get out of control quickly when they liberally feed or don’t have the proper filtration to Handle their tank
@@GalleryAquaticaTV Xenia can be tough sometimes. :D But a guide from someone who benefits from keeping customers who are able to keep these coral and therefore buys them, seems like the most trustworthy guide!
Hi Cam, at the end you mentioned more fish will be introduced, fish that you have in store. Does that mean that you are deciding which fish are going to be in that tank? Or is it solely upon the owner to choose? Just wondering. Grz from the Netherlands
Hi cam I live in lightning ridge and I was wanting to my own tank and fish but I don’t know where I would get fish any recommendations and tips for a person like me wanting to get into hobby and don’t really know how or where to start
Another great video :) How do you make up those hoses you use to connect to your IBC? Also do you create a siphon from the IBC to the pump before you turn it on? Thanks !
I use cam-locks to join my hoses/pumps/IBCs. If the pump and hose is not full of water, it all primes well when you open the IBC valve so no siphoning required. Cam
At this time of year the ambient temp is perfect, and in winter we heat the water. Summer is definitely the hardest time as it difficult to chill our water supply. I usually try to do waterchanges early in the morning before the day heats up too much. Cam
Do you not feel the tank needs to finish its cycle or the ammonia will spike again? I come from the belief that the cycle needs to happen and you can help speed it up with live bacteria, while dosing Prime to detoxify the ammonia/nitrite in the meantime until the bacteria colony builds up to handle it on its own and a water change only delays the bacteria propagation. You obviously have significantly more experience than myself, but that's always been my approach..bacteria and prime until ammonia/nitrite is 0, then wc and test daily to ensure no further spikes.
The tank was fully established before it was moved and it was moved in a way that should have preserved the bacterial populations. Ammonia has been an ongoing problem since the video, and we have done a number of things to mitigate this, including adding bacteria supplements. Cam
Hallo Fischjunge, liebe Grüße aus Deutschland. Ich schaue dir sehr gerne zu, da es sehr abwechslungsreich ist. Grüße Marcello hello Fischman, greetings from Germany. I love to watch you, because it is very varied. Greetings Marcello
Cheers Cam.. i tried to suck on an old garden hose that had 3 kinks in it and been out in the sun too long.. didnt work too well. You prob could get funky and dunk that end bit somehow and start the siphon.. and get water everyehere over the carpet and furniture. If you could dunk, then cap the end till your ready... hmmm. Valve on the end...i wonder.. my S 650 is empty.. soon it will begin..my first big tank Anyway.. good excercise.. if the business fails you will have some transferable skills
