Does having super strong lights, big filters and expensive CO2 systems really make a big difference? Or can we get the same results in a cheap aquarium? That's what we are going to find out in the third twinscape experiment! Cheap aquarium vs expensive aquarium!

I really like your video’s and after I’ve found your channel a short while ago I’ve been starting to basically watch all your video’s and have found that I prefer your channel way over all the other channels about aquascaping and aquariums on yt. Keep it up! Love the no nonsense vibe and whole realness of your video’s. I do have a suggestions for a video: Could you maybe make a video about the difference CO2 makes in aquariums and what you can/can’t accomplish with/without CO2. Maybe even a twinscape aquarium style video like this. I would love yo hear your thoughts on it as I am setting up a new tank and I have never really used CO2 in my tank before and am not sure if I should. Would be great if you would make a video about it and thanks for all the great video’s you have on your channel already!!

@MJAquascaping 2 года назад

Happy to hear you are enjoying my videos! Have you seen the CO2 vs no CO2 twinscape experiment? I can definitely make another video on this topic! The thing is though that results without CO2 will be different for everybody, because a lot of it depends on water quality, light, substrate, fertilizer etc

@karlt1987 2 года назад

I stopped using aquasoil a couple of years ago. I just use plain old fine gravel and E.I dosing now. Works a treat. Aquasoil tanks do look and grow far better the first year after the initial setup, but after that you really cant tell the difference. Its nice being able to uproot plants without creating a mess. I like the fact im now able to vacuum the gravel every week when cleaning the tank, something that just wasn't possible with the aquasoil.

@catida2767 2 года назад

Do you use any root tabs or other fertilizers under the gravel?

@karlt1987 2 года назад

@@catida2767 I placed some under the Cryptocorynes when I set the tank up but never added anynore after that. Dosing via estmative index is more than enough. The plants are still taking in nutrients from their roots when you just dose the water column.

As you are/were a chef, the use of gelatin to slow the yeast reaction probably came naturally... but i think its an amazing insight!

Your DIY Co2 mix is the best. I think the low budget will do well enough to make it the better choice, though I am sure it will be slower growth, probably best for those who have multiple tanks.

Love these experiment videos. What background do you use on your tanks by the way? Can you tell a difference in the background between the two types of glass?

@homegeographic5351 2 года назад

hope you read this and consider. i and many ppl doubt about the light. many times we buy lights and find out is not enough W or lumens, but that doant mean its true, ppl start with easiest answer: "light" and is the most expensive. later they find out is potasium or lastly iron or whatevr. cuz ppl recomend by default, lumens or W per liter. but light is not disolved in water behind the pland or on the sides, is difused by it. the deeper the less light it gets what about if i got a 50 cm tall tank , but i got a bonzai or a high scape? and have problems thoes plants that are high to the light? ppl still say is not enough, but in reality is the distance from light, thats more important. so i recomand to make a video with 1 or 2 tanks where you compare same plant on different heights in the tank, like on the floor, in the middle and high, like lets say 10cm between them, and with the same light. and maybe in another tank use a cheep light, and maybe different parameters. the info from this expermient can be very valuable, cuz if plants are healthy everything can be in equilibrium. we dont need to find out what its the most important factor in an healty acuarium, cuz evrything is, but how to make it better and take advantage of each scenario, cuz all our tanks are different

It's possible if the surrounding temperature is very hot, the yeast will work a lot faster with warmer temperatures. I don't think there is a way to dial it back

@JC_303 2 года назад

My gut feeling is that is too much pond soil for such a small tank, I would have brushed it away from the glass edges too. Looking forward to the results but it's obvious the more money you spend on equipment the better a scape will be. Walstad low tech is definitely the best style for a first aquarium/beginner. Good luck!

Hi Mark, thanks for all the videos, love them very much, and learned a lot from you. Till now I never tried CO2 tank, but I am encouraged by you to try CO2, however I don't know which CO2 system should I use, CO2ART or Strideways, CO2ART is a very sound system, I see lots of people like it, but I saw that you used Strideways Pro CO2 regulator in this video too, I really love the look of the strideways, so my question is what do you think of those two? Any recommendations are appreciated! Have a good day!

@williammcdowell6257 2 года назад

Completely get your point if thinking purely scientifically, ref. fancy lights and filter and pressurised CO2,. Mark's prices ref. substrate seem to actually understate the difference between baked pellets and pond soil and as already established in previous experiment, soil with gravel (Walstad method works great and has many advantages) Walstad does not even use low fertiliser high clay pond soil, she uses ordinary potting compost, as have I, with great success.

@zak9472 2 года назад

Wish you used something like flood lights on the cheap one, because for the same price or even less it will provide much more PAR (photosynthetic active radiation). Please switch them to cheap flood light or something better. the experiment would be perfect.

@ros7754 2 года назад

Considering the short roots of the monte carlo, i would expect it to do better in the aquarium substrate, at least in the start when the roots are still in the gravel

@williammcdowell6257 2 года назад

Heathy plants both aquatic and terrestrial prioritise their roots, so I wouldn't be surprised if the difference is not significant, if the gravel were two or three times deeper, yes you would be spot on, but Walstad always has stressed a shallow gravel layer, I've doubled it to three to four inches, most plants cope, but there may be a week or two delay as you suggest, a good price to pay for more biological activity in the base of the tank, the big benefit of deeper substrate, especially if a tank is set up to last years not months.

@mauchu7 2 года назад

I've watched a lot of MD fish tanks, I guess as long as you know your plants and their needs, then you can still grow plants successfully even in low budget setup. As long as you keep your expectations in check so as not to compare growth rate of high tech system.

@williammcdowell6257 2 года назад

Hi Mark did you check out the wattages and total lumens ref. the two lights? I don't recall Twinstar as budget. In the UK LED bulbs for domestic fittings come in between 600 to 1200 lumens for around £5 to £10 (the £ and Euro aren't that far apart currently). They have worked fine for me on small systems, though getting a good fitting can be an issue, clip-on lights, lampstands etc., can be more bother than the money saved justifies. A well designed easy fit system with very high lumens for a modestly higher price may be good value, but as you know too many lumens and not enough CO2 and algae flourishes. Not sure I am yet too convinced about the PAR issue, most light spectrums seem to work for me.

I had a very low ph for the first month in my dirtied tank at home (ph 5) as it contained a lot of sphagnum. This created a lot of plant melt. But since then the tank had been incredibly stable. I’m assuming you will do a lot of water change to keep the ph balanced.

Perhaps, but I suspect the difference is minimal, never found any difference in the impact of one brand of terrestrial soil against another so long as alkaline, acidic and high and low nutrient is taken into consideration. Aquatic plants are from an evolutionary point of view merely terrestrial plants that have migrated into the more challenging lower CO2 environment of water and had to compete with algae.
