G'day viewers! Here are some videos sharing my fish, aquariums and a DIY project or three. Hopefully we can all learn something and have a laugh along the way.
Underwater Forest Full Tutorial Step By Step Release
Welcome to the 4k version of my forest aquascape tank. The original video was published in a poor resolution, so with help from some viewers it has been released in 4k.
This video shows the build from start to finish, including collecting driftwood, building the hardscape, a dry start of carpeting plants, how I defeated algae, filtration and co2, all the way up to adding the fish.
Thanks to @TarasTankFriends for here invaluable help.

This aquascape has taken almost a year to complete. Together we will gather and prepare the driftwood, build the hardscape, add the plants, connect the co2 and filtration, survive an epic battle with algae, and add the livestock. I hope that you enjoy this aquascape tutorial. A big thanks goes to @TarasTankFriends Music by UNIVERSFIELD from Pixabay

I keep Mbuna african cichlids which primarily eat plant matter
Cool. What do you feed them?
Here' link to the other video I watched about feeding guppies vegetables; I'm sending the link because the author said broccoli not good for fish health and you did mention that you feed your fish broccoli. Perhaps you can check that video and do some research on the issue. ruclips.net/video/9PtQMY-aKyQ/видео.html
I will have a look. I have fed small amounts of broccoli for years, and haven't noticed any ill effects.
Earlier today I was looking at another RUclips video dealing with the same topic -- feeding vegetables to fish. Interesting the way you feed yours zucchini so I have a question: Most of my fish are guppies so can I stick a chunk of zucchini on the glass like you did for my guppies or would I have to cut it up --maybe grind it -- because the guppies' mouth is not as big as your fish's mouth? Awaiting and would appreciate an answer; thanks. Blessings to you and all those you love.
I feed Endlers the same way. The zucchini will soften after a while making it even easier for the babies to eat.
I think shes doing amazing job Gil. My mum needs to take some parenting tips . My mum used to round us up back into bed with the strap- belt 😂. How parenting has changed from the 80s 90s.
We were told to be home by dark, and don't bother mum while Days Of Our Lives was on.
@@Gilsfishroom 🤣🤣👌
Wery well engeneered and that manual mrmbran pump is a cherry on top!
Thanks mate. The bilge pump is still working well.
Love the channel. It's funny because I can relate to you so much about life . I drive a truck like yaself and my daughters do my channel with me aswell. #GuppyDundee . I just subscribed. What state are u in?
I'm just north of Mildura Victoria. Where might you be mate?
@Gilsfishroom I'm in sunny Queensland Gold Coast based out of Nerang. I love your humour mate . And enjoying watching your videos for ideas while the wheels are turning thinking I can try that. Thanks for the reply 👍
Love the vibe, great video. Good info and entertaining. ❤
@@JillianLarson-fd3nc 😊
Yep they sure do work, running anoxic filtration on my tank. The Aqua one tests kits are easier to read the colours match the colour chart.
I will have to check those out. Thanks.
I think that would even be difficult to a professional plumber what you did just now,
Thanks mate, and a plumber would charge a lot more.
this is so so nice! I love the set up and plan to use this in my fish room.
Thanks mate. I have changed things a little, so be sure to check out build video #4.
This is an amazing video for a first time sumper, thanks a lot!
Thanks mate. I also have a video explaining how the plumbing and overflow works. Feel free to shoot me any questions.
Hey there greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
G'day mate. 😀
Very nice video! Good job! Regards :)
Thanks mate. 😀
The hell was that butterfly part 🤣
I had the door open and it just flew in...
Absolutely stunning. Your hard work and patience definitely paid off with this beautiful tank. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks mate. 😁
WOW, I was genuinely riveted to those fish, great video geaat photography Gill, c u 4 am Monday mate
They are a beautiful fish. See you then.
Father fish will save you a lot of time. Filtration for filtrations sake.
I have a couple of small dirted natural tanks with some shrimp, snails and a few nano fish. The tank that this sump is for is for keeping and displaying fish that would produce far too large a bio load, not to mention absolutely destroy any attempt to grow plants. Thank you for choosing to use your time watching this filtration video mate. 😁
Your scape looks great. Good job 👌
Thanks mate 😁
Awesome! and a great contribution 😁
Thanks mate. 😁
Really beautiful tank, Gil! Love that lighting tip at the end. Hope you're doing well! 😊
Thanks Your Highness, I hope that your are also doing well.
Absolutely amazing, beautiful forest buddy, please don't wear your daughters gym shorts again, that was a bit scary 😅
If they were my daughters shorts, it would have to be some pretty impressive stitching to keep it all together!
@@littleaussieadventures2246 they’re HIS knickers 👍🏻😆
Apparently so lol but I like to give him a hard time 😅@kel4554
Very nice m8 👍
Thanks mate, I appreciate it. 😁
So, what di you add as a mid swimmer?
@@MorningDriftwood Pristella tetras. I will have to make an update video soon.
Awesome 🤩 what a project. That scape is superb 👌🏽 Gill you really have a real talent there.
Thanks Ras. Can you email me your postal address.
@@Gilsfishroom I emailed you mate👍🏽
I remember you your that fish guy 😂.Glad to see you back again.
Yeah been busy, but have a few things on the go.
Great video as always...and now in 4k!
@arashsh2001 Thanks again mate for speaking up and educating me about resolutions. 🙏
@@Gilsfishroom anytime buddy! Glad I could help! Just make sure you continue making these great videos!
Hmmm now I pictured you having a different type of calendar 👙😂 Now I have seen some of this before but its just as stunning and the new footage is awesome Love to see the plants gasing off How many hours did this take to do this amazing scape Tara is the best Hahaha 😂😂😂😂 great kid.. nice mug 😊 Nice that you listed all the plants
Well I do have other calendars Chris...
The man is amazing! And ya gotta love the OH&S and Sunraysia safety boots 👢 😂
I'm just a poor young fella who can't afford boots.
So impressive mate!! Well done on all fronts :)
@AussieAquatic Thanks Colin. Still trying to dial it all in.
Absolutely amazing! And that kid at the end🤣🤣🤣❤💯👍
Thanks mate. Yeah, I didn't notice the poor kid standing there.
G’day this has to be the smartes Sumatra sunken forest I’ve seen 👍👍
It's an Australian sunken forest Mal. Everything in it can end you one way or another!
@@Gilsfishroom lol you need a Lego croc and a mr Dundee hiding in the depths 👍👍
First 🥇 full comment at the end😊
Your are on the ball as always mate. 👍
In which process de nitrate re use
I couldn't get it to work at all.
So funny. A comedian. Subcribed
I'm glad that you liked it mate.
I see I have some work to do.
I'm sure you can handle it mate. If you have any questions, drop me a line.
This was a very helpful video, thank you, oh and your Chocolate Cichlid is a beaut
Thanks mate, I'm glad you found the video useful.
I have been feeding my Plecos zucchini, but find I have to change my water a lot more frequently now. I use a stainless steel peg and push it into the substrate. Lol...usually, 4 slices are demolished overnight 😅. My tank has Guppies, shrimp and Plecos I rescued from my daughter in laws tank. Im getting another tank from my grandson to try ( lol) and separate the females. Ive tried pumkin and rockmelon, but Zucs are their favourite. Just clean and change the filter more often? Fellow Aussie here ( and new subbie)
Yeah, the zucchini can make a bit of a mess. Try broccoli, it doesn't seem to break up as small and float around.
Would a heater drain the battery too quickly? Are all these parts available from Jaycar or somewhere similar? Thanks.
A heater would drain the battery quickly. You could always add more batteries to increase storage. I bought the UPS inverter directly from Renogy Australia, and you can get a deep cycle battery and a smart charger from lots of places cheaper than Jaycar. Look at 4wd and camping stores.
My Bristlenose loves the peel too!
@@UncleSmileys.Aquariums Lots of them won't touch it. It's interesting.
Great video. I used to beeed these years ago. Now I have 4 large ones and can’t seem to get any to pair up. Any suggestions??
Do you know if you have males and females? Only thing I could suggest is put them in their own tank with plenty of room and spawning rocks and see what happens.
@@Gilsfishroom I sent you a msg on Facebook. Cheers.
Can't believe the algorithm hasn't shown me this channel yet , you just got a new sub 👍
Thanks, know we know that the algorithm may not be perfect, but it got there in the end. I hope you like the videos mate.
@@Gilsfishroom big fan so far 👍👍
There’s been several examples of breeders who use bags of montmorillonite clay published in Amazonas magazine before Novak ever published his book. And static substrate beds have been used in ponds for centuries. Novak didn’t technically invent anything. He just pointed out that anoxic bacteria require iron, and started calling static substrate beds a fancy sciencey sounding name like an infomercial salesman
He never claimed that he invented anything, and mentions that koi keepers have been usuing clay baskets for a long time.
What a fantastic idea!! I am definitely going to pull out some old heater suction cups for zucchini and cucumber from now on! Thanks heaps mate! Another example of Aussie ingenuity at its best! 🇦🇺
Thanks mate. For my smaller tanks I went to the op shop and scored a bunch of cutlery forks for 10c each. Bent the end of the handles over so they hang on the edge of the tank.
@@Gilsfishroom that’s a great idea bending the handles over! I have 13 20ltr shrimp tanks that you have now saved me from having to pick the forks up from the bottom of the tank! Some how the shrimp always seem to knock over the fork 😂
That looks darker than 30 in the video. I recommend a Hanna nitrate test kit. Very accurate and easier to tell in between the color ranges.
The video didn't really show the true colour unfortunately, it was definitely under 40ppm. I would love a Hanna reader, but it is a little on the expensive side for me.
@@Gilsfishroom fair enough, the in person view is always going to be more accurate. are you using the API test kit? another great option is the LaMotte test kit. It’s about 80 bucks online. Also lab worthy / professional grade that I’ve used before. I got the test kit cause Novak was belittling me when I wasn’t getting the results HE wanted with my baskets. Said I needed a lab grade test kit. Funny he’s not mentioning that you. I did an 11 month experiment with the Novak kitty litter baskets. I measured no increase in my weekly nitrate accumulation. I used the exact same fluorite you did and the natural kitty litter (back when it was still available). I even measured the amount of food I was feeding each week to document and show I was not increasing or decreasing the amount of nitrogen in to the system. Glad you had more luck than me. All the other aquarists I worked with and talked to didn’t have measurable denitrification either. Glad it worked for you. 👍
