Your First Nano Tank - A Detailed & Step by Step Tutorial 

Great video! I love seeing an experienced fish keeper sharing with a young person who is new to the hobby. Juan is very lucky to have a great mentor and a shopkeeper to help him get started. I also loved that Juan was so respectful and so interested. This video made my day.

Bravo! So much beauty in a small easy to handle first tank! I love how grateful Juan is for you and his new pets. 😊 Heartwarming and inspiring! ❤️

And that ladies and gentlemen is how you do a Kmart tank, you packed so much in but it doesn’t look overcrowded. Also let me just say what an impressive kid Juan is so appreciative and he was soaking everything up like sponge well done mate I love your new tank.

This is one of the nicest videos that I have seen. We get to see that the future of our hobby is bright with young people like Juan getting an experienced mentor, so that they start off on the right foot. Then seeing a great shop keeper, and shop. My aging heart has been warmed.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! You made the whole process of setting up a new tank very inviting. Your little brother is so amazingly engaging and charming as well.

G’day Mate, What a great thing you have done for Juan. I’ve never forgotten my first tank which led to a 37yr hobby. I’ve been without a tank/tanks this last while and it’s been awful! A situation that needs to change! Great content yet again, you’re a natural teacher. Regards Duzzy🇦🇺

What a wholesome video, I love it! You're doing everything right here, Adrian. Thank you! 😊

Awe it was very nice to see someone take the time to work with a young person! The tank turned out perfect as usual. Thanks for sharing!

Well done. Get em in the hobby young. My 4 year old is already setting up tanks, hatching BBS, raising up fry, the whole nine yards. She’ll be a better fish keeper than I ever was

great work Adrian. so good to see the enthusiasm from the next gen of aquarists

Fantastic video, so nice to see the boys reaction, well done☺️

Good on ya mate! It's so refreshing to see such a nice kid, big big shut out to his parents❤

Fantastic looking tank! You have an awesome style when it comes to the scape design. Juan was a great addition to the video.

Juan looked so stoked with his new tank 😃 Thank you for an awesome video. Your channel is the best 🤙🏼

Beautiful aquarium, Juan is soooo happy 😊!

Great video it's good to see young juan getting into this hobby absolutely brilliant Adrian ❤

I love Juan’s enthusiasm, what a great kid. And future victim of MTS lol

Well done, great to see his smile and the appreciation for all your work. Beaut little tank to start with. Great explanation of what’s in there and what they need to do to maintain. Would be good if everyone buying their first tank had this much detail. I can see MTS striking him soon, We all start with one then they multiply 😂

Loving the black trim on the rosy barbs, the random occurrences are such a jewel in the hobby. Very much enjoyed the video and I hope Juan's tank thrives, looked beautifully set up!

Loved this video! Great job! I hope he enjoys his aquarium and learns much!

What a lovely young man! His enthusiasm is infectious!!

Another great video Adrian, proof you don't need to be 12 years old to learn something new, even us old fishkeepers benefit from your knowledge. Keep up the good work ;-)

It’s great to see youngsters getting involved in the hobby 😊

Looks great AB just like he said it's art !!!!

The tank turned out great

Yay, a new video by Adrian! It's too late to watch it right now but I am sure I will love this like all of your videos.

So beautiful 😍… and you Adrian are amazing.. 😊

Hey Adrian! That's a really neat project. And hopefully we've got the newest member (or maybe members) of the Multiple Tank Syndrome Club. 🙂 I'm looking forward to seeing an update on this in a couple months. I think the first time I saw Matt's place was on a @KeepingFishSimple interview/tour video? He really has quite a good thing going. And that was a great thing for him to do. I'm sure that'll help inspire Juan to keep his new hobby alive. What you did here adds loads of points to your Karma Bank! Nicely done! Cheers, my friend! ~Ron Oh, and I finally broke down and bought some Süsswassertang. I think the forst time I ever saw it was in one of your tanks. Probably on a Nick tour. 🙂 Cheers!

Excellent! Get them in the hobby young 😊

Great video. To share your love of the hobby with someone else is a beautiful thing. This young man will carry this experience with him and hopefully when he's older he'll do the same.

very nice mentoring!

I keep my air pump on an old computer mouse pad... works great...

Great video! Have you explained Multiple Tank Syndrome to Juan's parents? Might be fair to warn them. 😁😁😁😁

Great video

Lucky lad!

❤

👍🏻👍🏻

Fantastic video. It was really great to see both yours and Juan's enthusiasm over the process and the tank. The tank looked fantastic so well done on the build 👏 Can I ask why you leave the water for a week after adding the dechlorinator? What would be the difference between dechlorinated water that's minutes old versus dechlorinated water that's a week old?

I enjoyed this video very much and am tempted to go to my nearest K-Mart to get started. The only thing you did that I can’t copy is that you had a sponge filter already loaded with bacteria. What can I do to cycle the tank if I get a new sponge filter?

Adrian, I need to get you to help me with a mission! Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to help spread good info based on fact. The fish is called a Betta (Bet-Tah) not a Beta (Bay-Tuh). Here is a quick google explanation... *English-speakers often pronounce betta as "bay-tuh", after the second letter in the Greek alphabet. However, it is believed the name is derived from the Malay word ikan betta, with ikan meaning "fish" and bettah referring to an ancient warrior tribe, which is pronounced "bet-tah"* If you can help spread this, it would be a great way to bring some light to the subject of how opinions can sometimes be conflated into "facts". Although just a trivial topic in relation to these fish, there are many of these misconceptions related to the hobby.

Hi adrian I love the tank and video does Juan have a YT channel or something I love to talk to someone my age about common interests I started keeping fish when I was 12 now I am 13.

Nothing more disheartening than parents who come into the shop and leave with a disappointed youngster because they can't be bothered to dechlorinate the water
