    I agree with this man's findings. I've had a 55 gallon tank for three years now. Plants are growing very well. I have a population of small snails and a plecko that are doing a great job,( no visible poop). I've been changing 5 gallons off the bottom once a month and filter materials. So far so good!

    Saw your first video as regards guppies.
    Best tank set up. Is an undergravel filtration system that works alongside sponge filter.
    Have swordtails, guppies, coridories few snails. Didn't watch it all the way through. Heater just purchased at the end of the week. Have a stone that puts the pH balance in few live plants. Happy days.
    Ta for the early advice. Ps used to keep fish over 20 year's ago.
    Getting the right balance is paramount.

    In my experience most fish that rummage through sand can make a big impact on the cleanliness of your substrate if you have a sand bottom. If you have enough plants, nitrates will be kept low enough that you won't need to do water changes.

      @@robinvangrysperre9568 The ones that die the first couples days usually are sick already from the pet store. Corydoras are hardy fish so as long as your tank is cycled, they should be doing good. I acclimate them by putting them in a bucket and putting 1 cup of the tank water in every 10 minutes. it’s a slow process but it usually takes me an hour.

      Exactly. There's absolutely no reason to have to spend excess time vacuuming a tank. The only reason is if you're overfeeding and you don't have proper cleaner fish. I have a 46 gallon bow front that has been up and running for almost 15 years. It hasn't seen a vacuum in over 3 years. Overfiltration heavy stock including lots of bristlenose, loaches and Corey's keep that tank. Crystal clear with no buildup of waste
