Thanks for the kind words and feedback. Rally appreciate it. Been working hard on my editing etc so thanks 👌🏻

Interesting I'll have to give them a go sometime 👍🏻

Thanks bro. Appreciate it as always 👌🏻

Was it a white fur? If so it's biofilm. Perfectly normal and a great food source for shrimp and fish 👌🏻

Hi sounds great to me. Personally I wouldn't syphon anything out. All those decaying items are massively beneficial to the food web you are building. They provide nutrients to the tank, food for bottom dwelling fish and fuel for the aquarium itself. Check out some of my other videos if you want to know more as I go into more details. Especially the food web one! 👍🏻

@@MrBrightfryed i figured as much, but one huge thing we learn as fishkeepers from the very beginning is that siphoning all of that gunk out is pretty important as otherwise it will break down into ammonia and cause some pretty big issues, would you say this is a myth or more-so just not the truth under specific conditions

It's finding the balance, when your aquarium first starts out it's still in it's infancy, the beneficial bacteria is still growing within the aquarium. Leaves being organic matter are considered a form of bioload to the aquarium which like fish will cause effects to the water quality. It';s always best to go slow to begin with an build gradually to avoid spikes in PH etc. Obviously size of tank, what mechanical filtration you have, water hardness etc will effect how well your aquarium handles bioload so take it slow and gradual. If worried test separately and see how the leaves effect the water in your area or test the aquarium water and monitor it's effects by adding one leaf and see how you go same with them breaking down.

No problem. Glad to hear you are enjoying the benefits of them. Keep up the great work 🍂

Thanks alot. Really appreciate it. Took a long time to put this one tother especially the editing part. 😀

@@MrBrightfryed I tried the scripting it’s a art in itself Think I’ll stick to bullet points until I get better

Isn't it just. Funny how alot of this part of the hobby is not easily documented. Took some digging I can tell you!

Thanks 👋🏻

Thanks alot. No app for thr light just a feature that comes with it. The pump and fog machine were connected to a smart plug so I could either set a timer or in the case of the video toggle the on switch via an app on my phone. 👍🏻

I agree at the beginning when the aquarium is in it's infancy as bacteria is maturing but gradually over time I feel the need for frequent water changes can be reduced or even just left to top up's.

Thanks very much and appreciate you watching ✌️

Thank you, appreciate the kind words 👊🏻

Thank you and cheers for watching, appreciate it 👍🏻

Yes it's a great idea. Full of beneficial bacteria and life to start creating that food web. 👌🏻

Yes there are so many benefits to botanicals in an aquarium. They certainly outweigh what's perceived to be the negatives, especially the brown water.

Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words. Really appreciate it and glad it helped 🙏 I have a few more videos on the types of fish and even plants which do well in these types of setups on my channel if you wanted to learn more 👍🏻

Yes my plan is to do another step by step video to explain how to achieve this. 👍🏻

I liturally have no idea what that means 😂😂😂

@@MrBrightfryedhaha I’ve been trying to decipher, maybe he means vinegar eels but they only live in super acidic water /vinegar ? You can use them to feed fish but they can’t reproduce In the aquarium, have to have a culture jar with vinegar.

Ahhh makes sense now! Yes they are a good one to feed but as you said reproduction doesn't happen.
