Which was that first plant that you said
Use a lighter to heat both ends of the air line tubing. Lightly push them together after they soften and let them cool. They will melt into each other. Looks cleaner than a valve or straw sticking out.
Much neater
Won’t this leak poison into the tank
No

That carefree toss into the tank absolutely slayed me. Thanks for the video. PS: your cat is adorable
Never ceases to amaze me how lush your plants always are :) I seem to only grow algae :(
I needed something like this, other tutorials used the hard stuff with heat guns, etc. That was a bit beyond me. This is simple and quick. I didn’t know if the flexible tube would float right or not. Thanks for showing newbies like me how to do stuff! Much appreciated :)
Thanks for this video - my floaters have taken over and my fish are pissed that their food is not so easy to find! You saved me money and saved my fish frustration!
Finally found an effective and cheap solution! Just cut the top rim of a Styrofoam cup and attach it with a string. Works like a charm!
Very helpful ! I love duck weed but my plants need light too ! Lol
Eureka you did that! I will definitely spread the word. Thank you so much. 😊
Awesome! I'll share this with my local group they're always crying about duckweed lol
Dude you just too awesome! thank you, i'm just buying duckweed yesterday and its look so weird when meet water from my filter output. And i just create it now after watching your video and place it around my filter`s output waterfall and it's actually working !
Great idea 💡
I never thought to use a straw! Thanks! 💕

I've use it to do the opposite, to corral my floating plants over top of my bog wood that came up out of the water for my Briggatae rosaboras
Thank you for sharing this video 🙂👍
Perfect I'm going to use this on my outside pond. It's full of duckweed.
OMGG THANKS FOR THE IDEA!’
Thank you for sharing this! Going to start a 40 gallon planted tank. I'm going to need some floating plants to cut some of the ammonia. Wish me luck!
🍀
Great tip Lucas! And, we didn't even have to genuflect.
I really appreciate what you're doing for the hobby
Brilliant! I'm making these today! Thanks
So awesome! Thank you for making this video! I've been trying to save my one and only frogbit but it kept on getting pushed around and under by my filter!! So I used an airline tubing connected with a valve and now it's just floating on one side of my tank! I can't wait for it to grow more!
Juata upgraded to a 55 from a 20 gallon and this was a dope tip, thanka man.
Hi Sparky. Such a simple and great idea. Thanks Lucas
Nice hack! One could always use clear straws - Thanks Lucas!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing it.
3:42 lol
What happened?
First! You made me click off of Dustin’s video lol 😂 I will do this for my tubs. Great DIY
That was fast!
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics notification squad lol
Thanks, went out and made one after your video.
Sweet diy feeder ring. I will be making about 15 of them today. Thanks for sharing. Anyhow Sorry I haven't been around in the last few weeks and I'm watching this video so late. I've been having some trouble with my health but we are almost back to 100% so I'll be back around more often. I'm trying to catch up on my watch later list that has 100+ videos on it...lol. Thanks for sharing and as always keep doing what you do if it works for you.
Glad to see you around and that you are feeling better!
simple question:
how do you keep the tubing "straingth" ? in sense of not deforming in any way
i made several rings.. i had them resting on flower pots for few weeks upto months .. they looked nice and verticaly even..
after maybe 1 day in aquarium most of them totaly deformed.. verticaly.. while they kept the ring shape..
Sparky, whats up lil fella
best part: when you tossed it in!
i made one of these and it won't stay flat.. after a few days in the aquarium it starts to lose form. Even put it under a heavy book for a few weeks to flatten it. Few days later same thing.
Thanks Lucas! Great DIY!
Love this for Guppies and Endlers. Thanks Lucas! I've been kicking around an idea for a feeding tube that extends 2/3rds or 3/4s of the way down towards the bottom of the tank. I have a few tanks that could benefit from this arrangement. Trying to figure out an attachment for the tube. Something with suction cups maybe.
Thank you! I needed this.
Love your DIY feeder.
great tip totally using this idea thank you
The Duke of DIY ☑👍
Lol the Rothchild of DIY... Jkn
I think I really need these. My tanks are overflowing with duck weed and water lettuce.
quality tip im gonna use this to combat my frogbit
Sparky lol such a dog name. Thanks for this ....duckweed in my Betta tank is a bit crazy
time to get my friends laptops and "tell" them to subscribe ;)
Lol there you go
Great tip and so easy!😊
Thanx dude, very helpful
I made mine the same way but for my tank with duckweed, the tubing sunk in places and allowed the duckweed in. :(
Same. :(
I never thought to use airline tubing for my feeding rings. Thanks for the idea & demo Lucas. The connectors that I have are blue which I don't care for but they serve a much needed purpose so until I run across a clear one..
..
Which was that first plant that you said
cool man. I do that with dental floss and bendy clear straws sometimes .... but you gave me an idea.... what if you poked pinholes in it and hooked up the airline?
I'm curious if you could make a nice surface agitation device and even perhaps some current
possibly be good for breaking surface tension but would naturally want to float all around the surface unless tethered.
He just yeeted the ring😂
I know how you came up with this idea, fish Frisbee !!!
what floating plant is that?
So great ! What are your floating plants names please ?
Thanks for the tip!
Cool tip thank you 💯👍
A very nice video!
I'm going to go make some right now
Cant find that connector
I actually want to put my floating plants in the rings so they’re more contained. I
Also used HOB filters and floating plants don’t play nice together
You can definitely do that. And so true!
Dude awesome thanks!
Id rather put my red root floaters i just ordered inside the ring. My water flow is pretty strong so im thinking this will help along with modifying the output nozzles by banding medium sponge on one and only half band on the other because i still need surface agitation since i dont like airstones
Won't the floating plants block the light for the plants under them?
They can dim the lights for the bottom plants for sure. We do often over light a lot of our plants. High light plants not good to have floaters but low to mid light plants don’t mind it and sometimes do better with the light being filtered.
I TOLD MY NEIGHBOR'S!!😁😁😁
Awesome : D
Good tip
I wanted this...any other methods..
How is it my tubing just sinks?
Pretty neat.
i tried this and my circle doesn't float perfectly, some of the edges stay slightly under the water which causes it to not work, please help
Make sure the line is laying naturally and doesn’t have kinks or twist.
Can you please make a video on how to get rid of and to prevent brown algy and black beard algy
Brown algae or diatoms is usually a lack of lights. Snails, ottos, and plecos clean it up fast. BBA will die if you put a lil hydrogen peroxide on it. Best to treat out of the water. I usually empty alot of the water and treat it while its exposed. But make sure to keep your plants wet so they dont dry also dont let it soak. Treat and fill.
I see you have your aquariums on metal frames? Do you have a recommendation for a 40Long?
Ive tried this before and noticed that the tube tends to twist making the ring uneven and eventually it just looses effecacy
You can superglue it and the dexterity and thickness of hose plays a factor as well.
I've tried this awesome diy idea but at least one end of the loop sinks below water surface and my floating plants get out of it. Please suggest a work around
Dry it off real good so it doesn’t sink and the water surface tension holds it up. Hope this helps
I actually tried this before I ever found this video. The airline did not float though. Must be a different material.
Do you have any suggestions for plants in a comet goldfish tank? Yours are so lush, I'm green with envy! I only have two measly little plants in my 60 gallon tank and I want the tank to be nicer/ more entertaining for my fish.
Taiwan lily, mosses, anubias, lots of stem plants but they needs to be lots. They like some but not others. Its trial and error. But there are fully planted goldfish tanks. They help eat and clean the leaf debris
What floating plant is this? I have never seen it before 😮
Riccia Flutians aka crystal wort
Hi
I’m trying to get my guppies to find their food in the ring now….any tips on how i can get them to find the food in the ring? 😊😅
Wiggle the tip of your finger in the ring it always makes mine curious
Do you have any tips for something bigger - I float water sprite and it’s “taller” in the sense if I try this it kinda just overpowers it’s way. I’m running the Seachem Tidal 110 and the skimmer feature keeps getting my water sprite stuck on the skimmer causing it to make a loud clogging noise. Then I move the water sprite and it stops but for it to just happen again. Any advice?? Thanks bro as always - awesome informative videos! Thank you!
Yeah water sprite is a fast grower and the nature of the plant. You can try big tubing with a bigger diameter.
3:21 Keep inmind fish are living creature that are easily spooked make sure to VERY gently place the ring. YEET
What's the black part ? I need that ring so I can DIY.
That was a plastic airline valve that came with my tetra whisper air pump
@@LRBaquatics thanks. Would you know why my goldfish has dark like dirt in its scales? I already changed the water and I'm afraid I might lose my goldy.
Thumbs up bro
Bruh I have a unused air tune and valve and I did this but 1 side sinks a little
Make sure the line isn’t kinked and lays flat and natural any twist can deviate the difference
we have the same cat his name is bangs
Heya Lucas! I heard you mention in another video I watched last night about growing stems with riccia and you said it again here. What exactly do you mean by that? I’m picturing little riccia islands with plants growing out the top.
You are picturing it right. If you take a small clipping and place it on top of a island it will root itself and the riccia becomes the stems root media. Kinda like hydroponics.
L.R.Bretz's Aquatics Wow! That’s awesome! I recently got some riccia so I’m going to give it a try.
Very cool. Do you think it would keep water lettuce from being drown by a HOB if you put it inside the ring?
karen peppe
I tethered the ring with thread and tape to where I want it to stay...yes it works! Leave some slack for water changes 👍
S Oak yes! Thank you! I actually went and looped it around an airline and it’s working great! Thank you so much!
karen peppe
You're very welcome.
I'm not thinking of using this to feed my fish. I want to put my floating Frogbit plants in to keep them together. Frogbit is better than duckweed because it's bigger bigger leaves and grows much slower. Duckweed grows very fast and out of control. And your never getting rid of duckweed even if it looks like you've removed it all.
Hye sir, what type top surface plant you use?
In those tanks are Riccia Flutians. I keep many others as surface plants. Many most dont think of and if you YT search LRB unusual floaters a vid should pop up if your interested in other options.
@@LRBaquatics thank you so much for sharing ,❤️ from Malaysia
How did you get it to sit there so flat. Mine has one area that dips down and I can't seem to fix it. It lets all the duckweed slip into it. Lol
You have to let it lay naturally on a flat surface and try and connect it without twisting it.
What was the name of the floating plant?
Riccia Flutians
Just told my Motherbrother!
Joe DiYrt lol
🤠👍🏻
mine half floats wtf
Make sure water isn’t in it or that the line lays flat. Maybe take out and dry and place again for surface tension helps hold it.
Why plastic? I hate plastico
Any other suggestion, driftwoo? It is a common item to have airline in a fish room. Now that I dont use airlines or filters. I wouldnt and dont even use these rings. Your right its not really necessary and you should just maintain it properly. I am planning on making a vid on the impact of our consumerism and plastics in the hobby to keep fish and nature but we dont take in account the impact we have that we dont see with the production of alot of these items. The industry will not like it but it needs to be said.
@@LRBaquatics glass😊
Doesn’t work that great
Thanks for the tip, good idea.
