Welcome!!@@ThePlantedTankTV

Thank you! ✌😍🙏🔥✔

Hello India! ✌😍✌😍✌😍

Those take the fun out of it though! lol

Dean Eden I know right. I’m their god 🤗

@@ThePlantedTankTV my poor guys have been dealing with my arm a lot lately :)

@@ThePlantedTankTV BTW, thanks for the video about not giving up on your plants. I learned a lot from that. I love this hobby, but I am the dictionary definition of a novice, so I am really enjoying and learning a lot from your videos.

Id imagine it would be like the little aliens from toy story.

Probably the same thing when they are in the wild.

Thank you!!!!!!! 🙏🙏

LadyKej that is dwarf sagitteria!!! ✌️😍🌱✅

Well there is no such thing as cycled water because the beneficial bacteria only lives on surfaces not in the water. But if you introduce and water to the tank that still has chlorine in it. It will immediately start killing the bacteria. 🙏🙂

All you really need is some fluval stratum and good lighting. Now a days you don’t need to spend much on lighting. There are a ton of great cheap lighting that grows plants very well. Try the nicrew LEDs on amazon. I recommend using aquasoil for your substrate though. That’s very important for awesome growth in a low tech tank! Thank you so much! ✌️😍🌱✅

I love it man it works so well! Thanks for the support man!!!🙏

I tried to but nobody there was of any help lolol

I went with a pond pump and nylon tubing, works great. Got 2 large totes, one for water out, one for water in. I still vacuum directly into a tote so I can use tank water for cleaning things. The other tote I fill with a short hose at the sink for new water, add in Prime, and pump it into the tank. When the tank is full, I move the pump into the dirty tote and pump it into the sink. I also have a 29 gallon that sits high on a stand and tired of breaking my back to refill it. This is so much easier for me. I also shove a piece of polyfill that comes in a big bag from Walmart in my siphon just in case...my panda corys especially don't seem to want to get out of the way - crazy little buggers. Great video BTW! I like to see how other people do things.

Thank you!. All the pro aquascapers are doing them for a reason haha.

PHILLIP WONG at the moment since my substrate isnt very old yet I’m not using root tabs but I dose liquid ferts every day. I don’t gravel vac any of my tanks! ✌️😍🌱✅

Thank you so much that means a lot! I would say it is low-medium light. Not dosing any liquid carbon nor pressurized co2. Just Thrive all in on liquid fertilizer. 1ml every day and lighting is 10 hours! I appreciate the kind words!✌😍

The Planted Tank No doubt about my words to you! You seem like a true dude, so I must respect! Your tank is very beautiful, so I have to compliment! Thank you! Later!

@@ThePlantedTankTV 10 hours? Nice.

Haha Thanks bro. I got it at the dollar tree haha

Yeah I space them out 3-6 inches apart and replace them every three months! Thank you so much man! ✌🙂

Thank you so much man! ✌😍

I gave up on it haha just sticking to buckets. ✌🙂

Thank you! 🙏🙂 I manually top off but if you use a lid you’ll hardly have to top off at all. 👌

Nope! I've been doing it the same way for years now! Plants love it! The more mulm that builds up the more nutrients for your plants!

I don't. There is no need.

Melissa Vines that you! I do water changes on all of my tanks simply to help prevent algae! ✌️🙂

Would snail help with the algae?

They go for 10 hours straight every day! 😍✌

Does it matter what time of day, morning or night for those 10 hours?

I would still do 50% once a week. The smaller the tank the faster things can build up in the tank. So yes! The fish and shrimp love their fresh water!

I wish I could hahaha

I never travel vac. Literally never. Lol never gave me a single issue.

It is 150% Possible! There are all kinds of plants that don't need a good substrate just gravel and some root tabs should do great for plants like amazon sword, dwarf sagitteria, jungle val, anubias, java fern, ludwigia repens, s. repens,dwarf lily. So many options! But I would suggest no longer gravel vacuuming because your bacteria in your gravel will break down food and fish poo and your plants will consume the byproduct! Just got buy some of those plants and some good root tabs ( Seachem Flourish Tabs is what I use ) and you are good to go! Most of those plants I listed don't need a whole lot of light to thrive either! Hope this helps! 🙏🙏🙏

@@ThePlantedTankTV Thanks for the info!!

Philip Riccardi yeah what I do is if I know a tank has an algae issue or some sort of sickness I rinse all of my equipment in really hot water. That should be enough to kill most parasites, bacteria or algae. But if all of my tanks are looking okay I don’t even bother. I haven’t had anything jump tanks since I’ve been doing the hot rinses. I hope that helps! 🤞

@@ThePlantedTankTV yes it does! Some RU-vidrs make it sound like if you don't bleach it and let everything dry for 24 hours that everything will cross and cause problems. I'm all for being careful, but I feel like I'm taking it it a step too far. Do you just rinse it under your tap water or do you boil water and rinse in that?

@@philipnathanael17 Sorry I know this is mad late. But Yeah I just put the tap as hot as it can go. Most things that live in your tanks can't take those temps. ✌🙂

They seem to be one of those fish that are just happy to be alive. Keep em fed once a day keep em warm around 78 and that's about it! Super easy fish really hardy too!

And again thanks for replying Absolutely Adore your content Lot of respect from India😁🙋

Yes it is. Do not rinse it. You will wash away all the good stuff!

@@ThePlantedTankTV Yeah what you are saying it make sense. Funny thing the fluval company saying that we should rinse the substrate before we add it in the tank and this is kind confusing. haha

THE INDIAN LORD -ALL TIME BEST it is a current USA satellite plus! 🙏🌱✌️✅

Darren that is called Dwarf Lily! It is a great low light plant!

Thanks, keep up the good work bud

No I can't distinguish him from the other 4 lol

@@ThePlantedTankTV 😁

Yes you can! Just make sure to cap it with something like fine gravel! ✌😍

Richard Boudreau No. never. But I have been thinking about starting to use RO and remineralizing it. Great question though! ✌️😍🌱✅

i used store bought water for my betta tank and hes alive and thriving

Yeah I've got one now. This video is very old now haha

@@ThePlantedTankTV hell yeah I love the vids thanks for all the information

You don't. The poo is literally plant fertilizer. Very simple.✌🙂

Low to medium light and some fast growers is the key.

Abanoub fish i believe it is 76x30x45
