So cool. like seafood soup!

is the sponge filter working? i'm assuming there's no need because of the massive amount of plant and daphnia which act as nitrate suckers

Your sponge filter isn't connected to an air pump, right? Simply providing surface area in the tank? (I love this tank and am looking to start one very similar!)

Are those daphnia in that tank

nice ecosystem, very in balance, natural and no chemical in sight, congrats

Love it! Nice start

What is the mop for?

I had a jar with some aquarium water. Then i put algae waffers in it, and got green water in about 2 weeks time.

Thank you for the donations. This was a great variety of plants that we do not typically see in the auction. I was able to win the bidding on 3 lots (C. spiralis, P. kawagoeanum, and M. pinnatum). These are wonderful plants with great root systems already going. I wish that I could have got more of the lots in the auction but I needed to control my buying spree. Thank you again for donating the plants and shipping them down to the Bay Area. My daughter does to college in Oregon. Perhaps someday in the future I could see you set up.

I live in Eugene, Oregon! Do you know of any fish clubs there?

I'm not from San Fran or Oregon but appreciate the different states clubs sharing back and forth. What an incredible hobby. Subscribed!

I feel like this is the harsh reality of all information available to us recently. As a young person who learned about the hobby without internet I feel that someone coming into the hobby always has a product linked to any information they learn. And yes I still do watch the videos of all these other RUclipsrs that you speak about. As someone who is learning from the hobby watch whoever you want to. But remember it's your job to vet the information you retain.

Green algae is a good indication that you have an established healthy aquarium. My three small aquariums all have green filament algae and my fish are thriving in it…plus, I love the look of wild tanks haha!! I’d like to think that I raise ecosystems in my tank. Thank you Mr. Johnson (my 6th grade Biology teacher - I’m 54 now!), for one of the greatest inspirations!☺️

That is so cool!! I struggle keeping my cultures of micro fauna alive because I can't start my green water culture. Any tips?

Fascinating stuff!!

Does the sponge filter suck up baby scuds, daphnia etc.???

Not quite sure i get the idea or how the co2 was being filled. Can you probably show the process up close? I saw you turned the valve on and then turned it off, but didn’t quite get how the bottle is filled. Is there an inline tubing connected to it?

hes just dropped the fork along? roots

Good experiment, but your plants are not looking great though.

Idk what it is, but this guy is really good at culturing microbes and algae, everything on his channel looks so healthy

You get this without a substrate? Your tap water is full of nutrients

theyre such a vibrant yellow! beautiful

Daphnia do better with green water.

I’d rather be eaten by a troupe of shrimp than by maggots. 🤓.

Do u run co2 . I have a bunch plant , with no roots? What can I don, and thanks 🙏.

anybody else gets a weird sound from 1:28 to 1:32

This is so informative. I am going to be growing my own food cultures in the next day or two.. Should I add a small heater, and would a small dirted/sand amount on the bottom for the plants be a good idea. You did mention the plants so I just want to make sure this is correct for me to do!? Also I will have tiny snails as well for my betta tanks. I do have a lid with a light, do you suggest using the regular light or the blue light. Thank you so much, I would appreciate any info I might need. Kindly

Your tank is perfect for medaka or Japanese rice fish, particularly those long finned hikari varieties that look good seen from the side. Medaka grow better in green water.

it's easier to get rare fish and there's lots of untested chinese products that vary wildly in quality

I have fish in my tank, and NEVER do cleaning at all since it was created. I don't have that much algae. So that means, you have to much light. If that pink/magenta LED light is always on (24/7), then that could be the reason why your algae blooms. LED lights, even the lowest spectrum, is equivalent to ordinary light if brightness is not controlled.

Personally, I couldn’t imagine my life without my tank and fish.

People have all sorts of reasons for joining and leaving the fish hobby, most of them perfectly legitimate. Stuff happens. I mean, I'm as judgemental as the next guy, but let's be honest, they are not family, they're just fish. When you don't have time, or need to travel for work, fish are going to take a hit.

Hello new sub here,are killi easy to breed?

Whats the email ?please

Cheers

Love the marbles and cristals

I disc9verd im local to you In Eugene, love the worms

Fish: feed me! Feeds fish Fish: thank you! Now feed me!

I love my snail. bet my snails would love to meet your snails, maybe take the for... cough cough take the too lunch :-)

I used to think something was wrong with me as a kid, all my buddies had tanks and wanted big fish, tropical fish stores charged more for bigger fish, so they must be better. Me, I gravitated to the small, little tetras, danios, kuhli loaches, guppies. When I went to salt water tanks, I was more fascinated the micro creatures that lived in the live rock and sand than I was in the fish stock. Then I got into scuba diving, other divers wanted to see the fish on the reefs and hoped to catch sight of large pelagic species on the walls and drop offs into the deep, while I found much more pleasure laying my self down in the sand of a reef and studying the tiny creatures that lived in the corral sand and silt. I was glad when I realized there is a whole sub-culture that enjoys watching and studying the world of micro life.

Yum fresh worms

I really like those killiefish! They are enjoying the white worms😊

Compressed air cans are rarely filled with, nor predominantly contain, CO2. Consumer canned air, like the keyboard cleaners mentioned, is most commonly filled with, predominantly, 1,1-Difluoroethane. Long term exposer to 1,1-Difluoroethane has been shown to correlated with heath problems in humans, and high exposer been shown to cause to cardiac arrhythmia in dogs and has been linked to fatal cardiac arrhythmia in humans. Though rats and mice exposed to 1,1-Difluoroethane long term had not shown an adverse reaction, I don’t imagine that dosing 1,1-Difluoroethane into your aquarium is the safest practice for you or your animals. Another safety concern is that 1,1-Difluoroethane is extremely flammable so having large volumes, like a whole juice bottle, uncompressed and able to ignite doesn’t seem very safe either. Idk about the safety of your specific practice with CO2, but please don’t use canned air for this purpose.

😮

Where are your scuds? I think they will eat it.

A little terrible idea to create by yourself the scum on the surface of the water.

The problem witch created by you. 🙈

Perfect timing, I just started looking into co2 for my 90g, and this popped up on my for you page. Great video, very informative. Thanks a lot!

can I incorporate a copy of your tank in my sump's refugium? So that current will occasionally sweep them to main tank via return pump?

Those are beautiful killies..mmm k
