This video cracks me up. It's so vintage with an ASMR narration, but still contains good information. Heating cables! Brings me back to the early 90's.
It has been 40 years since I have had an aquarium. I found this video to be VERY helpful in setting up a "live" tank. Using a heating cable was a new one on me.
Interesting video on how to set up a tropical aquarium. My dad had one for many years. I am considering to set up a tropical aquarium with my husband but maybe without the live plants for now.
I had one spot available. Bit it is in direct sunlight, near the TV and right on top of an electrical socket. I guess I'll find another hobby. But thanks, because unlike most other vids, this answered my questions in the first minute. Good job!
I think this needed a disclaimer at the beginning warning viewers that this is a tutorial for an advanced planted tank set up. I love my planted tank but this is enough to make me run for the hills even if most of it is pretty good advice.
great video! With the lead recycling thing I highly doubt most retailers will responsibly recycle it. Might as well do it yourself, maybe smaller businesses will
I have found that using at least three inches of substrate will drastically improve the health of the aquarium and thus the fish. Once I learned this I never had a fish become sick. New fish might come in sick, but not the established ones. I also would run a small uv light, five to ten watts.
this is common, this is a biological bloom known as new tank syndrome, just let it settle on its own, this can last up to 2 weeks, whatever you do dont change any water this will prolong the cloudyness, hope this helps
I have a 75 gallon tank sitting around. It has a huge pump and I want to get it up and running again. Last time we had a hair algae problem, I want to grow plants but I cant afford the heating cables and fancy minerals I need to grow them. They always grew fine for me, but got too big. This time I want to run a tank with just some Neon Tetra, and a Red Tailed Shark Minow. I would also appreciate some recommendation for underwater grass. That doesn't get too big. Something for the fish to swim around in. ( I have a pump, a heating staff, sand, and gravel to work with. That pretty much it. I just wanna keep neon Tetra and a Red Tailed shark since they're my favorite and I've had a red tailed shark for 4-5 years before he died, very hardy fish.)
Martin Welters looks like late 90s the basics were covered more than adequately, best methodology is subjective. There's hundreds of different schools of thought and methodologies out there and everyone thinks they know best. Long story short... there is no objective best way
When my dad got me my fish he put this liquid in the tank which keeps the water fresh and he fist put the wire win which connects to the filter then afterwards he put the gravel over the wire and then fill it up with water then that liquid then your done Jobs done ✅
AAA this is so helpful thank you!! I haven't been allowed to get a mouse because they're "too high maintenance", so I've been told to get fish instead. fiSH ARE WAY MORE COMPLICATED. AAAH.
Wow, they do REALLY complicated set ups in Britain I guess. I don't use half this stuff, yet my tank has a healthy plant, and fish. Each to their own I guess!
live in a spa town and we have a natural spring. water filters through the earth and comes up to a fountain it is very soft and pure.it has been for 1000s of years. is it good for an aquarium
Never use double sided sticky tape for backgrounds..... Its better to wet the back of the tank and lay the background down then scrape it with a card to get air bubbles out. It looks way better that way
Would you please tell me ..how many hours should i keep heating this cabel per day... should i shwitch it off. Or should i keep it in on continously postion hole day...
Hey sir , can we use artificial turf inside aquarium tank or it can give harm to fish skin? Secondly can we use RO water in place of tap water for a fishes?
I enjoyed this. It's a pity that it stopped before it was done. Now, we'll never know what happened, lol. Was the heroine rescued? Some of the pronunciations were wrong, especially décor, which should sound like daycore. The text even showed the acute accent over the e (é). The music was unnecessary and mildly annoying. But, a nice video. I am not convinced that an external carbon dioxide supply is needed. The fishes will supply that. Four inches of substrate is not really needed, and why have a heater under the substrate when there is a water heater?
