Aquarium Filter Setup | Betta Choice External Filter
Hi, I recently got an RO device and I am wondering if I can remineralize the water using only acid buffer and alkaline buffer, or do I need something else?
Wow wow wow - Thanks you. That worked for me as I was sick and tired of pumping the prime button, which didn't work most of the time anyway ,and the moment I turned on my motor, the water from the outlet would be sucked back down again with air bubbles!Then I watched your video and Ill you you another WOW ❤
Tytyty I spent a damn hour tryna get the priming to work on cascade ..two seconds this method and it worked! Tyty
I have extremely hard water. My KH and GH are super high. KH tests above the numbers provided to even read. So let me see if i get this. Youre saying i can add distilled water to the tap water im using for water changes? How much distilled should i use? I have a 75 gallon aquarium. I do 25-30% water changes weekly. I use prime to dechlorinate. When i add the distilled water, do i still add the prime to dechlorinate the tap water ill be using along with the distilled as well still?
Why is my exterior pump a little bit noisy
Can be many things, but sometimes it's worth getting the motors checked :)
Cheers from my fishroom channel in Chicago, where I am a subscriber to yours. Love the variety of creatures in your domain :)
I like your shelving / racks. Can you please share a link please.
G-RACK is the company, don't have the link though
awesome fish room and very cool centipede! I like going out with my daughter and looking under logs and so on over the woods.. very interesting channel!
Thank you :) - Yeah I find it really helps them to get in touch, getting hands dirty etc. etc.
Wow awesome Fishroom
Thank you :)
👍👍👍 happy to see you and the fish room
Thank you!
Glad to see you!
It's good to be back :) Thank you for checking in!
Is there a way without sticking on the filthy hose?
Very well put
Thank you :)
What is the PH and TTS where u have the Plecos and Crystal Red shrimp in one tank? Thank you in advance
Hello, ph of 6 and TDS of c. 120 :)
Awesome, thanks for sharing. My gold fishes also need peas now 😊
Awesome 👌 That was so much easier ❤❤❤ Thank You 😊
Glad it helped!
I got filters my tank
Ay 1:51 mark, what is that little guy on the upper right corner?
That is a copepod :)
I got one but my tank is only 40 Gallons. I can’t really upgrade so what should I do with him/her?
Keep an eye on it, and if upgrading isn't an option, in my opinion the right thing to do is find it a suitable home or return to where you bought it from :)
@@BigFishLittleFishAquatics I would return it to the pet store but they won’t take it back… I live in New York City so I can’t even release it anywhere… Any other advise please? I respect ur opinion
I use Alkaline buffer with Acid buffer and go for a KH of 5 which is 14g in 20 gallons of water. So to get a 7PH I add 7g of acid buffer. When I do this, my PH rises to 8 every time. I have tested the water separately to make sure it was not something in my aquarium. After 24 hours of addition, it rises. My RO water after 24 hours goes from a 6 to 6.4PH and stays there. Not sure why alkaline buffer does this. I saw that the Sodium Bicarbonate will do this as that is what this buffer is.
Hello, These products require continual dosing over days (will be different for each person) to lock your pH - I belive it says this on the packaging (but don't have to hand to verify... if you already have a set pH in the water your aquarium will naturally balance back to whatever that is if you haven't locked it down. Without a source of Acid in your aquarium too, the pH can sometimes fluctuate.
Can I do this with tap water or distilled? I don't have a RO system
If your source water is as close to 0ppm as possible then yes you can. You might struggle with tap however as there is typically lots of buffering content within it :)
@@BigFishLittleFishAquatics my tds in tap water is 107! GH 3 AND KH 1. I don't have the resources to use RO water
The problem people are having using Alkaline Buffer with Acid Buffer is pH drift. After adding enough Acid Buffer to the water and getting the pH desired, within a a day or so the pH drifts back up to 8. Explain how to deal with that please.
Hello, I explain in the video :) - You need to keep dosing to fix the pH.
It's super interesting. I would like to know more details. How do you breed this type of fish?
😅🎉this was helpfull an actual discription and ph scale indicating where fish can live in...im a old man learning old things😮
Great video❤
Thank you :)
Thank you I've been trying to get my filter to work since 630 this evening and only after watching this it started to work 🎉🎉
Glad to hear it!!!
Equilibrium is hard to dissolve so boil a small batch of the water and mix it that way then add the the total batch
Can golden barbs mix with cherry red barbs or cross breed them? I never seem anyone mix those 2 type in the same tank, could you make a video of them together? Thanks 🙏 😊
I haven't heard of them breeding/crossing before! I doubt it, being quite distinct different species. I'll see what I can do :) Thanks for your comment
Thanks from Ireland . U are the best 👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Crushed it. Right to the point and exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching :)
Great video. Its a shane the honeycombs don't stay yellow but they look grrat anyway. I love scaped tank. I'm about to scape a new one and have windered whatvi coukd keep with Caridina shrimp... Marie
Yeah it is a shame that 519's don't keep that vibrant yellow all of the time! But they do have a mild cream yellow (easier to see when I shine my light on my male hiding). Ahh yeah, the scape is still relatively fresh and needs time to bed in and spread, but the crystals and pleco's seem to be doing grand! Fingers crossed for lots of shrimplets to show up soon :)
I finally understood the use of buffers. Thanks!
Glad this video helped you :)
How on earth do you attach the air pump! I can't find any videos that show that step 😭
I believe you just put your airline tubing onto the input pipe of your pump :)
Ooh whereabouts in the South West are you? I'm in Devon 😊
Hello! Ah nice! I am in Wiltshire :) What are you keeping at the moment?
@BigFishLittleFishAquatics ah, I lived in Wiltshire for a bit and my son's dad and family are in Chippenham. I've started breeding shrimp, and have been setting up breeding tanks for Gold Laser Corys, Orange Venezuelan Corys (new today) and a cold water tub for Hillstreams. And I have a community tank with mostly Tetras. And various snails.
@@PureAndShrimple Nice! you've got quite a collection going on there! I haven't dabbled with cory breeding, but looks like its a lot of fun!
This is the most helpful video, thank you.
Where did you get your caves and plate from?
A company in Germany, which I have forgotten the name of, think it was something like 46 wave plates... sorry not much help :)
All these vids saying suck on the pipe...thats cant be right can it ?
Also 50 gallons is not a small tank, even for a ghost fish. Maybe if he's 19 inches long, but have you seen one that's nice and inches long or do you own one that's nice and inches long? That's probably pretty rare
I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one...50 Gallon would be too small for even a smaller 12 inch Knife, in my opinion. It's about providing quality of life for the fish and there wouldn't be much swimming space. It's a common myth that fish only grow to the size of their tank, which unfortunately leads to many fish being incorrectly kept in small aquariums. Thanks for watching :)
Please don't make comments if you're not learned of such matters. It's not rare for a Black Ghost to reach 15 inches or more in an aquarium...by the time they reach 12 inches (around 18 months if well fed and in good water conditions), a 50 gallon tank is VERY small...you need bigger tank that is at least 24" in width since these are fish with stiff bodies. They cannot turn around easily.
Every ghost fish I've seen black brown or whatever color else has only gone in and out of a tube that's in the tank...... in and out........ in and out........ in and out....... that in and out......... they are cool fish but that is boring to watch
Depends what you think is cool I suppose... however keeping nocturnal fish are best observed using infra red lighting :)
It;s boring to watch them during daytime...so if you're not a nocturnal person like me, don't get this fish since you don't get to see them in action when it's dark.
Love my clown pleco! He won’t even touch veggies though 😕 anyone else’s like this?
How rare is a breeding pair of gkf? And how would you know initially as I believe sexing is quite difficult?
No they breed like rabbits, ghost fish rabbits that is. They're actually omnisexual so you only need one. Two males or two females will do it as well so it doesn't really matter you'll end up with babies it's faster than you can blink your eyes, believe that as much as 50 gal aquarium is small
They are difficult, next to impossible to sex as they do not show any sexual dimorphism. It can be risky in aquariums (depending on size) too as males are known to fight especially as they mature. I believe farm breeders keep them in large ponds, however minimum tank size for a pair would start at around the 200 gallon mark. Being nocturnal, you can bet that mating takes place at night, where eggs are laid, which if left will be eaten.
You can only tell they are male or female if they are fully matured; or had grown to a relatively larger size. Males usually have "horse-like" features, smaller eyes and a complete stripe at the back (though sometimes they don't). Females tend to have plump bellies, rounder head structure, bigger eyes and are mostly black (though mine have a half-stripe at the spine).
Hi I’m looking at switching over to RO water for my freshwater tropical tank. Is there any danger when introducing it to an existing tank? My concern is how the fish adapt to the suddenly (better) different water conditions
There can be a danger to your existing inhabitants if you change too much and create too much of a shift in parameters that they are used to. My recommendation is to adjust slowly through water changes :) (c. 20% at a time)
Nothing about high KH???
I talk about how to reduce KH levels, the approach is very similar to GH :)
I have an Eheim pro4+ 350. The push priming has never worked for me. I always have to use A secondary pump to get it started and get out the air.
Great video mate got any L397 for sale
Not yet, little ones are growing out - possibly in 6 months time is when I usually am comfortable with their size etc. :)
That's cool with me just let me know i will buy some then
My shrimp just had babies, im afraid to clean it because i dont want to suck them up. I was hoping they grew faster lol. Ty for this vid!!!
Ah yes, they do take a few weeks to grow... when gravel vac I would use an airline tube to clean the bottoms, I have a video here to see what I do: ruclips.net/video/eCgcnGNFtfY/видео.html
Hi loved your video. About the cutting teqnique. How much is the ratio roi water / tap water that you mix? Just for me to get an idea. Thanks in advance!
Glad you found the video useful! I do not cut my water, mine is completely remineralised (due to Nitrate levels in my tap). Best way to work it out what works for you would be to mix up a few buckets and see what one gives you the TDS, Hardness and pH that you are looking for :)
Thank you for the simple but very effective way to get the right type of water I need. I've got 8 arowanas and 3 diamond stingrays in a huge tank (4000 liters)
@@user-qm8xw8xq9s Wow! That sounds like a lovely group of fish!
Any suggestion on how I can do this with a spin pipe lily tube?
Not sure I am afraid, I personally have not used one :)
Thank you!!
i just picked up 11 celestial pearl danios
Nice! They are great fish! How are they getting along?
