Struggling with bad start of your tank? What was your worst start?

@stoutlager6325 3 месяца назад

Yep, my latest tank had an initial bloom similar to this due to a large chunk of driftwood I decided to use. Cleared up in 3-4 weeks or so. If you have spare pond/bladder/ramshorn snails it will speed the process a little to add some. They do eat the white fungus. In the past I have tried to siphon excess fungus but that's a temporary thing and will not speed up the process in the long term.

It is good to have a bacteria bloom when you start your aquarium, it is the thing that makes any water filtration work, then you know your tank will cycle rather quickly. Your aquarium is beautiful because it is using the natural way that all clean bodies of water are already using. Beautiful natural aquarium. TY

Thank you! Very nice to hear :) And yes - natural ways always win ;)

@esther-j 2 месяца назад

This same thing happened to me. At first I tried a natural, planted, no filter, approach and waited months, it never cleared. So I added a filter and in about a month the water was crystal clear and no "fuzzy hair" anymore.

@hanssim9509 2 месяца назад

Oh my god. I never knew this issue could be solved so easily like this. In one of my early tanks, I had no idea how to deal with the fungus infestation. It wasn't as serious as yours, but the fungus could easily grow on uneaten food. One of the fish ate the contaminated food, and the fungus grew out of its stomach. Different medications were put in but were unable to fix the problem. I ended up nuking the tank and disposing of everything (plants, substrate, etc....).

@dimitrijekrstic7567 2 месяца назад

Yup. That whole "chemicals/ supplements/fertilizer/algicide and nuke everything" is a great way to keep aquarium supply manufacturers in bussiness.

@hanssim9509 2 месяца назад

@@dimitrijekrstic7567 Yup, that's right. When I started the aquarium hobby, I listened to the shop operator's (which had run the aquarium business for years) advice by buying different kinds of equipment and supplies. A lot of money needed to be spent along the way, and a lot of human effort was required... It was so exhausting...

At the start of my aquarium journey when I got my own big tank for goldfish, yeah, even though I cycled it it had a second bacteria cloudy water thing after adding fish and yeah sensitive goldfish didn't survive it. Haven't had goldfish since.

Thank you for the good advice

Any time!

I had a black water tank like this but with diatoms from the pond water I used to start the system. Then some hair algae showed up to the party & 1.5 months later, the water is pristine with no filter, a bubbler, a couple nerites & 4 shrimp. It's still liquid rock despite all the botanicals & mopani wood, but adding 5, dry, oak leaves brought the alkalinity down to 7.4 from 8.0+.

Boiling woods and roots is a good idea !

@hanssim9509 2 месяца назад

Yes, I did this in one of my early tanks. But the fungus still growing on the driftwood.

@JoyWeidner 3 месяца назад

My worse start was similar except I didn't know to leave it alone. 🤦‍♀️ My 1st ever planted tank and I spent 3 weeks scraping the fungus off my spider wood with a toothbrush. As expected, though, it eventually sorted itself out. Thanks for making these videos. ❤

when i started my pond there was that slimy hairy stuff on all the walls and every peice of decor and plants. I dunno what it was but it did eventually go away and its been super normal since

@TalukderE 3 месяца назад

Excellent content! Did you do water change during the period of infestation? If yes, what was the frequency and % change? Thank you again for posting these videos.

@AquascapingCube 3 месяца назад

Thank you! I only did one small water change (20%) during that period and nothing else :)

Do you dose your tanks with fertiliser and if so what do you use?

@AquascapingCube 2 месяца назад

Yes, I use fertalizer called Basic Grow from company QualDrop.

What did you do to the water in 4 weeks?

@AquascapingCube 3 месяца назад

Basically nothing. I think I only did one very small water change, because I was cleaning all my tanks at the same time. And I just waited for the things to sort out.

@EuroGupper 29 дней назад

Shrimp would have loved to eat all that algae or whatever material that is on the wood

@AquascapingCube 27 дней назад

True. But I don't want to have shrimp in this tank. And catching them here will be impossible ;)

@EuroGupper 27 дней назад

@@AquascapingCube Some "cull shrimp". You don't need to catch those

This is effective based on my own experience. Let nature do its thing.

Exactly!

@bandicootgaming 3 месяца назад

is this bioflim?

@AquascapingCube 3 месяца назад

This is mostly fungal growth. So, yes you can call it technically call it biofilm, but overall fish keepers by biofilm mostly mean bacterial growth on leaves, plants, wood etc.
