The X-Wing Aquarium - 5 Minute Build
Просмотров 1102 месяца назад
The 5 minute version! A very simple build to rock your socks off! Great for lots of plants and a small colony of fish. The stone is limestone and is found everywhere in the region I live. The plants are also used from other tanks which helped me keep this tank low cost. I used sand and soil for this tank and had no issues at all. Note this was my first time trying this method so improvements co...

Hundreds of Shrimp Babies and Massive Plant Growth - Making Some Needed Upgrades
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Thanks to this tank and the hundreds of shrimp in here for all the lessons. It's been a great year for this scape, aside from all the trimming I didn't do. Shrimp only tanks are awesome, they're very cool to watch so I would recommend trying it at some point. There's also a lot of lessons learned when getting into C02 injection. All in all, best fish tank yet Let me know what you thought of it!...

    Why not just attach lily pipes to your main filter? Less tubing around the back. Also don’t think you could overpopulate that tank with shrimp.

    I'd take out the sparling g's and allow the shrimps to re-establish. Either way, it's a great set-up.

    • @thefishtankexperiment
      @thefishtankexperiment 3 месяца назад

      Thank you! thats good feedback, I do agree. The shrimp and ostracods kept the tank pristine so it would be worth letting them re-establish

    doesnt limestone leach crazy amounts of minerals?

    • @thefishtankexperiment
      @thefishtankexperiment 3 месяца назад

      It's possible! haven't had an issue with it and I know some local aquarium stores sell it but it could have some extra minerals in it

    • @Tsunamidragon17
      @Tsunamidragon17 3 месяца назад

      Limestone does dissolve in water, it can raise the ph of the water. If I remember correctly it makes soft water turn to hard water and is therefore desirable in tanks where fish love hard water. I think if its placed into a tank that has more acidic water it leaches faster. Looks really nice though.

    damn not mixing the dirt portion with water is really such an important step. thats where the anaerobic bacteria colonies would grow. It's important there is no air, so mixing with water is so key for the longevity and true walsted approach

      Hey! Grabbed these at Petco, they hold a little over 30 Gallons, ~39 roughly. They're awesome and have plenty of room but I will probably work on smaller tanks going forward just because they are easier to maintain

    Underrated account, you went store to store, online and official websites. Compared then listed all links in the desc. General advice about co2 refiling that I'm sure not many people would know unless they're experienced or worked in that or relating scope. Vid quality as clear as his tanks, audio quality as clear as his face, content that's informative and chill and fun and relating and even extras like tips of how to install, co2 plant vs non co2 plant and not just how the whole tank looks. You can call my comment "riding his D" idc I'd ride it as long as I can get my mom's fish the best life they'll ever have because if all the lil fish are happy than my mom is happy. And that's important to me. now shall dive deeper into your yt page to absorb your generosity of knowledge. Thank you. Edit: the part where he used the pH tester takes rhe cake. Most people will just let irlt running and most vids dont even mentioned anything about it.
