Thank you. So I have a playlist called demos and events. They were live events and were filmed

Hi. I would not recommend these all in ones for bettas. I would go with a regular UNS tank and one of the mighty filters. I don’t understand your question on CO2. What air pump attachment are you referring to? Thanks

@@natureaquariumsusa @8:50 Sorry I was referring to the outflow pipe/pump. Is this was is this “releasing” the water from the chambers? Or simply for circulation ? Thanks !

This is a closed system. So water goes into the back chamber on the left goes into the middle chamber where your biological media is then into the return pump chamber back into the tank.

I appreciate your time and apologize for my ignorance, I am quite the novice 😅. Is the return pump the the last chamber u showed? How is it used as a return pump/ outflow and co2 diffuser

Hi. So these tanks are have the filter built in. It circulates the water through the tank and into the filter chambers in the back. Like I said not good for bettas because they are too powerful and even when you slow them down it’s not the best type for bettas. Something like this is better for bettas because it uses a slow pump natureaquariums.com/products/fluval-premium-betta-kit-10-l-26-us-gal

Here you go. Shipping is between 450 to 750 depending on where you live natureaquariums.com/products/uns-reef-systems

Hi, i dont have the instructions with me now, so follow what says on the packaging. Also for everyone, always double check with a kh test after its dissolved to make sure the kh is right.

oops, did i say it somewhere? unfortunately, i cant edit it now.

thank you!

Thank you. It’s great working with you. You are very passionate about the hobby. Can’t wait to see your tank grow out!

Gracias!

Thx

Thank you so much for the feedback. Let me know if there are other videos you would like to see. Please share and like as it helps my channel!

@@natureaquariumsusa hi sir, I need your expert opinion about my mystery snail tank. My nitrate-2 is 2.0 nitrate -3 is 20 High ph 8.4 Ammonia between 0-.25 Kh 12 Gh 19 I have some crushed coral in there I’ve been doing a 10% water change for the past 3 days I’m using prime and beneficial and it’s not coming down. I’m really worried about the nitrates and kh/gh can you help me please?

Nitrates for a planted tank should be anywhere from 5 to 40 depending on the plants and the setup. Nothing wrong with your nitrates. Stop over dosing prime. Only use what you need for a water change. So you have harder water. Snails won’t mind. Nitrites are the only ones that are toxic. Why do you have crushed coral? Your KH is pretty high for a tropical tank unless this is an African cichlid tank.

@@natureaquariumsusa thank you for your reply, I put the crushed coral because I thought it was low but when I tested it was high. I only have 3 small plants in there now baby’s tears and I’m not sure what the other 2 are. It’s a 55 gallon tank.

So KH should be about 3-4 in a tropical tank. GH 6 for plants Baby tears will not grow without strong light and co2 and a good substrate. They do not like high KH.

Great question. The way we clean them at the store is with a small 1-2 gal bucket of de chlorinated water. (Tap water plus de chlorination. Place the sponge in the bucket and shake and squeeze and let all the mulm and detritus fall out. Never use untreated tap water.

@@natureaquariumsusa do I have to take all the tubing apart?

You dont have to. Maybe if you have a lot build you will. You should use a brush to clean the the inside of the air collar (where the airline tubing clips on) about once a month.

@@natureaquariumsusathank you!!!

Yes

@@natureaquariumsusa wow! Looks so much bigger with a shallow aquarium, awesome

Thank you

We use them at the store!!!

Great question. First let’s stop chasing ph. Fish can deal with wide tolerance of ph swings but not alkalinity. So let’s target your KH at say 5 which is great for goldfish. What is your KH out of the tap? Then we would use alkaline buffer ONLY to keep the alkalinity up. Let the ph fall wherever it falls. And only measure alkalinity.

natureaquariums.com/products/alkaline-buffer-70gm25oz

The rate is as follows 1 TSP will raise the alkalinity by 2.5 dkh in 20 galloy

Also what does your hardscape look like? Do you have lots of wood in the tank?

@natureaquariumsusa Interesting, I never tried to look at alkalinity products. It makes sense. I will buy this product and see how it goes 😊 my KH according to the test stripes I have is about 40 ppm out of the tap and goes down to an undetectable amount about 3 days after a water change. My hardness hovers between 75 ppm and 100 ppm. I never really wanted to chase PH because it can be exhausting. I remember reading that PH helps with bone growth, especially with goldfish. I wanted to make sure I was keeping the PH up because when I saw it get low, they didn't seem as happy. They are more active and digest their food better when their PH is higher. These are just my observations. I am interested in seeing if this will help my problem. As it seems, I have an alkalinity issue, not a PH issue. Thank you for responding!

Hybrid bettas can handle a good range of KH. I’ve seen them grown out in well water with KH of 22+. So if everything is doing well leave it along. Adding some almond leaves would be great. But that’s about it. natureaquariums.com/products/indian-almond-leaves-catappa-leaves-small

I don’t understand your question

@@natureaquariumsusa You said adding wood to the tank to lower kh. I have a pond and our kh level is 300 and our ph is at a 8.4. we tried ph down however no luck. Wasn’t sure if I could add wood or if I needed to buy an acid buffer.

Hi. So most wood will lower ph slightly. So will peat moss. What type of fish do you have in your pond? Goldfish, koi, live bearers and African cichlids all will do very well with a high kh

@@natureaquariumsusa thank you! We have goldfish. Our plants started dying so we checked the water. Just wanted to make sure the fish would be ok ☺️

Hi so plants can be due to a lot reasons. Heat, lack of fertilizers. Yes that high alk will cause issues with a lot of plants that like softer water. Are you on well water?

Omg!!! Thank you. If I don’t drop a few pounds and grow out my beard I’ll start looking like st nick!! Thank you for your support. Really appreciate it

You are welcome

Thanks. Yeah it works super well

That’s the atmos light. natureaquariums.com/products/uns-atmos-aquarium-light-background

I did a video on it as well. The link to the video is in the link above scroll through the pics

Yes. Did you use hot water for softening the tubing before making all of the connections (pipes and to the filter)? How long has the filter been running ? Did you tighten the nuts (by unscrewing them on the hoses)?

@@natureaquariumsusa I'll tell you what I've tried for anyone else reading.so after a complete clean of the filter (after 1 year of usage),I started getting air on the outflow.very noisy.i checked all the pipes and the air was coming from somewhere around the head of the filter.i opened and used olive oil on the gaskets and increased the volume from the screws to max and kept playing with that on both sides from minimum to maximum.eventually it worked.no more bubbles now.

Hi. So it’s best to use a silicone lubricant designed for food and aquarium use like this: natureaquariums.com/products/aquatop-oring-silicone-lubricant-1ea

Thank you

Thank you

Hi so there are two kidney shaped holes at the bottom of the skimmer on the plastic plate above motor. The skimmer cylinder has the same holes. Align them so they match. Then make slow adjustments by twisting and slightly covering till you get the right mix

That’s why I say to put them in hot water for 5-7 mins. Then shape them to your liking.

@@natureaquariumsusa Did that. Worked well for getting the tubing on the barbs. I plan on modifying the intake to accommodate fitting to the 12" deep 33 L tank. Am designing a mount so both intake and lily pipe stay put. Will be an interesting project.

Hi. Any media can be placed above the bio at the bottom. On a side note the zeo should only be used for hospital tanks where you are dosing strong antibiotics. The biological media when cycled properly is what pulls out all of the ammonia. Zeo only can pull so little ammonia out of the water that it’s a waste. When setting this filter up just add a good quality bacteria and in 3-4 weeks the media handles all of it.

@@natureaquariumsusa thank. The reason I am planing to put zeo is , we are going on holiday for over 3 weeks and no water change can be done . I have 5 small discus fish in 130l tank. I thought I put zeo to reduce spike of ammonia .

Hi. Properly running biomedia with bacteria should handle it. I would place two packets of purigen as well. But use something like turbo start and keep the old filter running.

@@natureaquariumsusa is it Seachem Purigen Premium Synthetic Filter Resin For Marine And Freshwater Fish Aquarium 500ml? Which one is turbostart ? Thank

Hi so the filtosmart is outstanding for what you are looking for. I should make a video on them. natureaquariums.com/products/filtosmart-100-thermo-external-filter

Hi so I have rotated through multiple lights on them. It depends on freshwater or marine. For marine : natureaquariums.com/products/a160we-tuna-blue natureaquariums.com/products/sea-marine-spectrum-led-with-bluetooth For planted fw natureaquariums.com/products/a160we-tuna-sun natureaquariums.com/products/twsb120 natureaquariums.com/products/aqualife-ultra-rgb-led-strip-light-with-timer-controller natureaquariums.com/products/twinstar-led-ea-iv-line

Yes they can be

Glad you are happy

You are welcome

Hi great question. No they will not. But I have these from Singapore that use suction cups. They come in 4 sizes with and wo skimmer natureaquariums.com/products/stainless-steel-jet-pipes

What’s the diameter of the tube?

I was mistaken. It is 7/8" 0.D.

Thank you

Thank you! Ill be linking the guides I created for the different cycles on the description soon

Gracias Keila y Allie. Siempre in placer con ustedes!

Thank you. I actually just posted an updated video to that one.

Let me know which video you liked better. The new one or the old one

They are good airstones to have around though

Yes it is

Thanks Oase for making a great filter!

So I have one at the store as a demo with guppies. I had to put a valve in line to slow the flow. It’s lidless. I also have a 3n with a betta no rim no issues. So it depends on but I would not put a betta without the valve. Also make sure it’s a short fin variant as their bodies will get stuck on the intake. natureaquariums.com/products/two-little-fishies-ball-valve-for-filters-and-pumps

You are welcome!

Thank you so much! Let me know if you need anything

That’s high for a saltwater tank. Is your tank reef or Fowler?

It can with a sponge filter attachment. Some people like to run air filters because they have a single air pump for multiple tanks or they run a battery backed up air pump. Multiple ways to accomplish the same thing. No wrong or right way just another way

@@natureaquariumsusa that reply is fair enough

Hi I’ll have to look at the video again. First time someone says something. Video was shot a long time ago. So I’ll look at it. Sorry about that. Anything I could help you in particular?

@@natureaquariumsusa I bought the small for my 20 gallon long as suggested, but no matter what I do the flow tube sticks up out of the water so I get zero bubbles.

Hi. So the way a sponge filter works is that its primary function is not to bubble your tank. It uses the rise of air bubbles to move water through the sponge. We have 80% of our stock tanks are 20 longs and on many of them the elbow tube is out of the water. That’s fine because it is moving water. Just like a canister filter. So as long as you are rippling the water it oxygenates the water.

Thanks. Watch my updated video just released.

Thank you!
