I Simulated Freshwater Ecosystem For 180 Days, No Co2, No Water Change, No Filter 

Thank you so much!

I have a big aquarium (besides 5 other smaller aquariums I have) but I'm just too lazy to maintain it, has been months without water change, the water has gone 45% and needed to turn off the hang on filter (the water level is to low), The water is brown. The fish still alive without oxygen, the vallisneria-gigantea almost took over the tank. Yes, aquarium with plants needs no extensive maintenance.

It’s perfect, enjoy!

@peaceofnaturee Currently, I am with my 20 gallon long (yet to reveal it on my channel atm). But at some point, I wanna go bigger like you and many others who enjoy a huge slice of nature indoors. One day, it WILL happen. It just may take longer.

Thank you for your kind comment. We need to be a bit patient with setups like this. I hope you succeed, and I wish you the best of luck.

Some ponds do work well with no filter, rising and falling with the seasons, but most natural lakes and ponds are fed by a river or spring and have an output beyond simple evaporation, flow and water change are part of most natural waters, obviously the Dead Sea has no output beyond evaporation.

@@williammcdowell6257 i disagree.... Most lakes and ponds don't have a strong flow of water in the whole body... Rivers do, and that's another story. Even the ocean is not nourished with oxygen from the movement above, but by the algae and plants in it.

@@supremepeace. Just for accuracy I didn't write about 'strong flow' certainly most lakes have flow but it wouldn't be a flow comparable to the say the strong turnover of around 10 times an hour turnover for a filter, as some recommend. I also never mentioned aeration, i.e. putting oxygen from the air into water. In fact I haven't personally used aeration on my tanks for over three decades. Please, there is nothing to be gained by disagreeing with me on things I didn't write. The Bann river feeds and discharges from largest British Isles lake. I am fundamentally keen on essentially nature based approaches to the hobby. But most ponds and lakes are not bodies of stagnant water even if there is no immediate visual evidence of a river or stream (often a seasonal stream) feeding in and out, often with small bodies of water, water often percolates in from the soil etc. and is evaporated off or runs slowly under the force of gravity from the pond. Water is also often lost from bodies of water by transpiration from plants and plants being eaten by herbivores. Transpiration is a major loss of water from bodies of water not fed by streams in the summer, come the autumn rains, and the re-emergence of seasonal streams, and the autumnal loss of foliage, the water is replenished. That is how most apparently stagnant ponds operate.

@@williammcdowell6257 My God you wrote so much, ok nice I have read everything, thanks.

Because an aquarium is not a piece of nature...

You’re so right. It’s possible to make no filter in small tanks too, as you said balance is so important. In coming weeks I will publish a video about nano filterless tank with nano fish.

But can you run a big cannister filter on a dirtied tank?

@AndrewCooper-jq5ny If you want you can but it’s not necessary.

Thank you so much! Play sand is usefull! I’m using it too.

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

Thank you so much! I glad you like it!

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 I’m trying to give my best time for this hobby beside my job. Hopefully in the future I can focus on them more.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! 🫶🏻

Thank you so much! 😂😂🌿

I’m planning to make a calm video for this weekend 🤞

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🌿

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

@@peaceofnaturee You are doing an amazing job here without using Co2, and so on. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much! 🌿🍃

Hello! It’s type of Myriophyllum.

Thank you so much! Good luck for your setup! It’s AI voice.

Thank you so much!

Yes that’s what I’m talking about. 🙂

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

Thank you so much! 🙂

Yes, I love this adventure. You should try.

It's the only way you should setup a tank..

Thank you so much!

You’re very welcome!

Thank you so much!

Çok teşekkürler.

Thank you!

Thank you! 🌿

Perfect! 🫶🏻🌿

Thank you for information. 🌿

Thank you so much!

I replenish the water that evaporates.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I also appreciate your considerate thought. ❤️🌿

@@peaceofnaturee you're welcome

👍

It’s amazing! Congratulations. 👏👏

@@peaceofnaturee very cool to see executed at a professional level 🏆

Thank you so much! 👏🌿🍃

@diliganfc3s510 Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I think your water will be clear in a week. If not you can change %20-30 water but before adding fish.

🙏🏻🌿

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

@@peaceofnaturee Do you think this would have worked with fish who like to dig? With all the movement of substrate and such?

Çok teşekkür ederim. 🌿

Good luck! ☘️

Thank you so much! I will make.

Thank you! Sometimes I’m not being at home for a few days. These days I close home heater and I use heater for my aquariums. Temperature around 26c.

Thank you so much! I was talking about cycling process my other videos. I didn’t talk about it in this one. All of my aquariums in my livingroom and terrastial plants have day light.

Thank you so much!

If you had watched the videos carefully, you would have learned that the internal filter is empty inside and that I only put it in the tank for surface movement. Let's look at it this way: the person who thinks this is a lie also believes that a tiny internal filter can filter a 660-liter (170-gallon) aquarium.

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

Çok teşekkür ederim.

😄😄🌿🫶🏻 love you mate

Thank you! Sometimes once a week, sometimes twice a week. It depends.

Çok teşekkür ederim! 🙏🏻🌿

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

Ben teşekkür ederim. 🌿🙂

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I have two LED lights for this tank but I got time long time ago and I don’t remember their power. These ones are cheap lights. Nothing special.

I don’t siphon. Mulm is beneficial, I have mulm in this tank on the back side maybe it’s not noticeable from the video.

No I didn’t because I always start with so many plants.

I didn’t have sponge but I put something like net because of little shrimps can trap in easily.

@@peaceofnaturee thanks! Is there a specific reason to not use a filter?

Thank you!

The most important aspect in choosing soil is to ensure that the area we are getting the soil from has not been fertilized. We must take it from an area free of chemical contamination. No, I have never done the wetting and drying process, and I don't think it's necessary.

Hello! Coming soon!

I don’t fertilize them.

Yes we can do it.

I see people are doing but I didn’t try.

I actually explain everything in the video.

Çok teşekkürler.

I couldn’t see something?

@@peaceofnaturee the movement like waves.

I always use easy plants. I don’t want to give you wrong information.

Thank you! No filter. 🙂

Merhaba! 3 cm bahçe toprağı, 3 cm kum yapabilirsiniz.

I’m talking about algea in this video. Less fish, more plants. 🙂
