    To the people saying you shouldn’t add fish the same day. Watch a few of Kevs videos and you’ll see you can add fish the same day with a few tricks and some experience. Now to the fish police who say you can’t? This isn’t 20 years ago when there were hardly any products to effectively help start a cycle on a tank. I’m a huge believer in Stability, I’ve been using it for years and it’s an amazing product. I like Kevin have done this before and not lost a single fish.

    Hey great job on the 75 g ! This is a great channel for beginners to learn the right way by following your steps anyone can achieve a successful & stable aquarium . I am no beginner but I have learned so much from you and since switching to Prime ( thanks for that too ) it was my eye opener that this was something special . That turned out to be the same for each & every Seachem product on my planted tank journey time & time again , I have learned many things in with my aquatic hobby and #1 is to keep it consistent ( thanks for that one Kev ) Now I find time to sit back and observe like nothing else matters but what is going on in my tanks and testing my water ( thanks for that one my Man ) I know I'm not always getting or having everything picture perfect but being patient enough to know and follow your plan , that same easy to follow plan , w/ your tips and tricks to guide me and fish people all over the world ! That reminds me ( thanks for everything you have been a blessing Mr. Matos) I have your paperback book and get the most compliments on the clarity of all of my tanks , even the blackwater one lol , seriously though - Kongrats KaveMan👍 Brand Ambassador !!! Hopefully you smash that role and show Seachem
    The SAFE bet is to stick with a Military Vet who's never been afraid to get his hands wet 💙 ( Sorry for that one KaveMan ) 🇺🇸

    Kev it does matter how many hours you clean the water. I use buckets and an outdoor hose and clean it for two days! I never had that cloudy water as yours . When I finish and put the water in the tank it's almost done and after starting the filter on in a few hours it's crystal clear! I also do thet hard work , because it is hard for your waist and back, because if you let all this dirt inside it will never go away and every time you siffon your sand it will rise up again and again . Just noticing that. Respect.

    Hey! Was wondering, is there a way to up the bio load in the tank? I’m running a seschem 75 and a sponge filter in my 50, got 6 Cory’s, 2 dwarf gouramis..wanting to add more just wanting to make sure my tank can handle it. Is it simply adding bacteria like stabilize or what else can I do?

    • @KaveManAquatics
      @KaveManAquatics  2 года назад

      Bacteria only grow to the amount needed. Meaning, more fish, more ammonia, more bacteria will grow. Adding Stability will help in the SPEED that bacteria grows. As long as you have sufficient bio-media with "space" for the extra bacteria to grow on, the eventually will.

    Is it possible for me to switch my gravel to this sand with the fish still in the tank ?
    How would I go about making this change ?
    I have access to all the Seachem products you use on hand
    I’ve just taken over a African Cichlid tank and I’m going about using your methods as it is simplified and most easiest for me to understand.
    Thanks for all the valuable information you provide on your channel as it is very hard to get advice from my local pet shops

    Do you use prime and stability when doing a water change? I do I just want to make sure I’m doing this part right.

    • @KaveManAquatics
      @KaveManAquatics  2 года назад +1

      YOu should use prime during every water change to dechlorinate the water. Stability is only needed if the tank is currently cycling. Once it is cycled you dont need to continue using stability. Watch this - ruclips.net/video/dfxs8MDlWV8/видео.html
