Thank you for the great video, it makes sense now to me. One remark is of a mathematical order: 2 50% waterchanges is not the same amount of water as 1 50% one.
Excelente video. Yo prefiero hacer un cambio de agua del 50% antes que 2 del 25%.Aunque si hago 2 del 50% mejor. Como usted dice el acuario te lo va a decir. Saludos
Official WASABI Moderator: Good question. You must use an aquarium syphon to vacuum the malm from carpeting plants. Also, please check NORI aqua channel for my exclusive interview.
I gravel vac each week with my 1/3 water change. I would think that would remove more detritus that contribute to algae. Yet I still have black spot algae, it's worst than bba 😢
Official WASABI Moderator: Very good regime, 50% water changes is recommended per week. For detritus and malm, I recommend using a turkey baster (dedicated to the aquarium :)).
I make one water change per week but at least one week per month i do what i call flushing week,i do a 25/33% water change every other day increasing the water changed every time, i do that because if you do a 25% percent of the water out of the tank 75% still remain in the tank, soo to remove 25% of the 75% remaining water a bigger change is needed (33,3%) , a key on doing this without getting a bacterial bloom is to do it with a really well cycled tank and to do it away in time from filter cleaning. I hope this could help someone.
I'm doing daily 20-30% but still I can't get rid diatoms/brown algae on my tank. Is there any advice you can give? should I less my ferts or completely stop it?
Official WASABI Moderator: Hard to say without a photo of your tank. Milky white could mean it's silicate/other matter from sand. Thanks for watching! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
But without adding chemicals my tap water is crap. If unchanged then nature stabalises it in my aquarium. I have a dirted deep substrate tank and don't change for a year, healthy plants and fish. 👌
Just changing the water will only reset the pryameters, if algae is caused by light or nutrients deficiency a water change is useless and can even do more damage
Official WASABI Moderator: It depends on temperature of the day. If it's hot during the day, then do water changes at night. Otherwise, you're free to do water changes as it suits your schedule. Also, please check NORI aqua channel for my exclusive interview.
Very calm and informative. I feel like the whole live plants thing is just peer pressure for marketing schemes, like introducing to smoking a cigarette when you're young. After a lot research, I ditch the cookie cutter aquascape and go bare bottom. Save $ on substrates and live plants. The pros of going bare bottom with simple Aquaponics setup. My fishes finished all their foods. The bottom of the tank stay sparky clean. My hang on household plants eliminated ammonia and algae. Water change only take a few minutes and I don't have to trim plants or gravels vacuum. A win win for me. My filter media contain 8 bio balls and 2 sponge floss (the white and blue type) Here is the sceenshots of my tank. imgur.com/gallery/201V8IU Any suggestions for my tiny self cleaning tank?

Outstanding advice. I've been doing this for 20 years and every part was great.
Wish I would've seen this 20 years ago lol.
BEST channel!
great!!!
I do water change like 1 every 4 months. Very little black beard algae. My siamese fish takes care of it.
How to do water change with a carpeted tank? How to clean in between like a monte carlo carpet plants.
Official WASABI Moderator: Good question. You must use an aquarium syphon to vacuum the malm from carpeting plants. Also, please check NORI aqua channel for my exclusive interview.

25% 2x a weeks works to reduce algae but it’s a bit too much work for me. An automated water change system would be great.
I do 30L per a week in my 60p size tank. I siphon off detritus and trim with the water change.
Official WASABI Moderator: Very good regime, 50% water changes is recommended per week. For detritus and malm, I recommend using a turkey baster (dedicated to the aquarium :)).
@@NORIaquaCh yes i also use a turkey baster, it works well.
What dou you call that hand push feeder in 5: 45?
Well automatic waterchange systems are a thing...
I make one water change per week but at least one week per month i do what i call flushing week,i do a 25/33% water change every other day increasing the water changed every time, i do that because if you do a 25% percent of the water out of the tank 75% still remain in the tank, soo to remove 25% of the 75% remaining water a bigger change is needed (33,3%) , a key on doing this without getting a bacterial bloom is to do it with a really well cycled tank and to do it away in time from filter cleaning.

Recommend what kind of water?I see someone say RO water no algae, but I do use tap water, Water change 50% per week but still got brown algae
do you gravel vac a carpet?
I'm doing daily 20-30% but still I can't get rid diatoms/brown algae on my tank. Is there any advice you can give? should I less my ferts or completely stop it?
After I did a 25% water change my tank water which was clear suddenly became cloudy (Milky white), what could have caused the same? Thanks!

What material is the hose used to syphon made of looks soft and doesn’t stay coiled?

When is best time to do water change. End of aquarium day or start
Official WASABI Moderator: It depends on temperature of the day. If it's hot during the day, then do water changes at night. Otherwise, you're free to do water changes as it suits your schedule. Also, please check NORI aqua channel for my exclusive interview.

who else bowed when he bowed lol
