KGTropicals is it wrong of me to use 5 gallon dispensing punch jars for quarantine different species of fish? They have sponge filters and air pumps in them.

@edsunglao3041 5 лет назад

Congratulations John to your channel's new milestone! You very much deserve that RU-vid recognition play botton. As for the algae topic, as usual the infos you and Lisa shared about it are very useful...let me add also, as a last resort, to control the algae is to use UV light specially if the tank receives a lot of sunlight in a day. I use that in my pond way back then but when i learned that floating and sedentary aquatic plants can do the job and at the same time helps in ammoia elimination, I just made my UV lights as a back-up solution. Thanks again for that great video.

@NiX_aKi 5 лет назад

Thanks for covering this issue, John and Liza. I hope people will get a new perspective about algae from this. I repect algae because I have a lot of fish that depend on them. Congratulations on the milestone! Keep those fun and educational videos coming! I love you guys!

@ACAquatics 5 лет назад

Congratulations to you both on the well deserved success. It's so great to have you back and as a fellow hobbyist, RU-vidr, and native Virginian I want to thank you for all your hard work. This hobby has literally saved my life from drug and alcohol addiction and I could not have made it without your videos. I was on fish forums in the beginning and almost gave up until I started watching your RU-vid channel. Your channel was the first channel I ever subscribed to and is still the best channel in all of RU-vid for fishkeeping. I hope you read this and understand that you both are not just talking about fish. You are actually changing people's lives and for that I can't thank you enough because you have helped save mine. Thanks for sharing and as always...Do what you do if it works for you.

congrats on the silver play button( well deserved ) tip for the black beard algae take ornament out and pour boiling water over them kills everything so maybe do half at a time aka scrape glass one week boil the beard on the ornaments the next aha . it worked for me never came back oh and blacked the tank out for 3 days good luck !!!

Congratulations on the Silver Play Button ... thank you for this info ..I would have appreciated seeing the algae you were speaking about ... I think I have blue green algae and may have had the long hair algae ... but I am not sure ... I did learn I need to do more water changes ... but I am wondering if my salt lamp is contribution to the issue ... it seems most concentrated where that light is . I just started watching your videos that have been very informative and helpful ... thank you for your efforts

@jaybird8192 5 лет назад

Scraper and a lot of elbow grease! Make sure you get the proper scraper/pad depending on your tank (Acrylic or glass) As Lisa stated: "Black beard algae is evil!" Had that in one of my aquariums once, and it took much scraping with some force! I actually got rid of a couple of ornaments that had them attached! Good luck to you!

@benmilner9672 5 лет назад

My plecos are pretty active, constantly working their way around the tank, but they do some pretty epic turds, so I’m not sure if there is a net gain on cleanliness. I have a dozen or so shrimp for fine grazing, and a few loach species for stirring up the substrate. I do weekly 50% water changes, treated with Seachem Prime and salts, plus a good gravel vac and wipe down (takes about an hour). I have my lights on for 12 hours or more per day, and so far algae is pretty minimal; water is always crystal clear; I feed twice per day; the tank is well stocked with no deaths so far. You can also use blue coloured dye to block out some light that algae needs, rather than a chemical treatment.

@25TheCaveMan 5 лет назад

Congrats on the 100k subs! I really liked this vid, as I am currently cleaning up a hair algae bloom, but I think this would have been a bit more informative if you had provided pics of the types of algae you talked about. I know pics can be accused in a search but it would have been nice to see an example as you named each algae type. Just a little feedback from someone who is still learning and enjoying the helpful vids. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! :-)

I had an outbreak of beard algae so went out and got myself a siamese algae eater, it's completely solved the problem and turns out it's an awesome fun fish too

@HarrisonCountyStudio 5 лет назад

As the Chinese algae eater grows in size, it’s propensity for algae lessons. They can even seem aggressive at full size around peaceful community fish.

@brazeification2 5 лет назад

I strive for algae in my aquariums to me that helps me know that I’m doing it right. Not to mention I think it gives the environment a more natural look, just my opinion.

@martisl9652 5 лет назад

I think one of the reason why most of us get so freaked out about algae is because we re constantly being told that were having this "problem" because we re doing something wrong or being lazy. Im trying really hard to relax about that now.. Its hard, tho. :/

@brazeification2 5 лет назад

LiliS oh trust me I completely understand where you’re coming from, haha my favorite thing to do when someone looks at one of my tanks that’s filled with algae and asks why it’s so dirty I bring them over lift up the lids and tell them to take a look and when they see how clear my water is they pretty much get blown away.. algae is good, dirty tank water is bad.

@ashleybenson8688 5 лет назад

For fry tanks i keep the lights on for 12 hours because i was told they needed more light, but it started a tiny algae bloom that doesn't bother me even slightly. Its never gotten worse because i time the lighting i think. I think it makes the tank look more....homey for the fish.

@jackr.4953 5 лет назад

I just started another tank and it's my first one with capped soil substrate. It's just a 10 gallon betta tank with an awesome light and man, the algae has gone nuts! Especially the hair algae. Unfortunately, giving it time to settle is the best thing I can do. In the meantime, lowered lighting time, nerites, water changes and a hand full of shrimp are helping out.
