Welcome to GlassBox In this episode I introduce myself, talk about my tanks, how I got into the hobby and give a rundown of my 4ft CO2 injected planted community tank. All music is also created by me ;) drewstunes/
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful. Your tank is beautiful BTW 😍 but how do you have shrimp and fish in the same tank without the shrimp all being eaten? 😱
Hey Kerry, Some baby shrimp definitely get taken from time to time but if you have a heavily planted tank with plenty of hiding spots, you should be able to maintain a colony. Anything that will fit in the fish's mouth is food so I prefer to keep large schools of smaller fish. Appreciate your comments.
Great Vid. I envy you living in WA. Travelled and worked in Oz for 6 months in 1991. Didn't want to come back. Now in cold rainy London. I have dwarf neon rainbow fish in a 4footer. Perhaps my favourite fish. Keep up the good work!
I also have 5 or so neon rainbows. I prefer the red finned to the yellow. I wouldn't mind adding a few more to my 4 footer. Before the lights come on they pick up the natural light and seem to glow, which I love.
Great video and beautiful tank. You give me hope because black beard algae can be a real longterm curse. When you do a water change do you normally do about 40%? With lighting - if you have black beard algae you recommend cutting down to 5 or 6 hours. Would you normally keep your light on for 8 or so hours. Thanks.
Hi Dominic, Thanks for your kind words. Stable Co2 levels, weekly (30-40%) water changes, 6 hour lighting schedule, removal of heavily affected leaves, spot dosing of Hydrogen Peroxide and as a final resort over dosing Excel have worded for treating my Black Beard Algae. Best of luck with the battle mate.
Wait till you see what happened to my tank months down the track...
The Saga continues... hopefully quicker this time ;)
I love your input. This is so frustrating for an established tank. You give me hope. It’s on my gravel too. I do peroxide treatments and excel. I hope to eradicate it but it is a Debbie downer. My tank is heavily and beautifully planted. I want it gone! 😃
I would suggest reducing your lighting period to 6 hrs max and start dropping some feeding days. I had some success with overdosing Flourish Excel but I would do this cautiously. Best of luck with the battle!
GlassBox thanks....I did adjust my timer on the lights and that seemed to help. I figured some of the problem was lack of circulation at the mid to bottom of the tank. I took a huge piece of driftwood out that was allowing stuff to collect behind it, opened up some areas of rocks with plants growing between them where I know mulm collects and added a light power head to mid tank. It really is trial and error but I’m not giving up. Oddly it’s concentrated on the substrate and filter intakes 🤔
Sounds like you are doing all I would suggest. Flow does help alot. I have 2 small powerheads in my 4ft. Only other thing is to reduce the bioload and up the water changes. Although I havenet used their products I have head alot of good things about LCA Triple B suppliments.
Did you put just hydrogen peroxide in the spray bottle ? Very informative video. Thnks
Hi Cheryl, yes get the bottle that says 3% solution.
Liked this video a lot. Good job man and keep them coming
Thanks Angus.
Your pygmies inspired me to get pygmies 😁
Yeah I dont see em much. They school a few times a day and come out to free swim.
You're also using ocean free substrate :)
Love those close ups, what a lovely world in there. Cool music too!!!
Whooohoo go Drew! Good to see some local content creation. Awesome tank and awesome footage showcasing your talents. Goodjob man :) Ps the purple plant is purple alternanthera
Hey Angus, Thanks for all your help with stocking this tank.
