    For many fish videos, I listen to them while working or driving. I HAVE to watch your videos with my full attention because your editing, narration, and engaging content deserves it.

      Haha, I have channels like that too! My "podcast" channels and my "must watch with my full attention because of all the visuals" channels... Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy many more in the future. :)

    I’m expecting a freezing rain storm today and possible power outages….Great idea about putting a betta in a breeder basket! I have three tanks and only two battery operated air pumps, so combing two tanks into one will really help.

    You slayed that Blair Witch intro! I know this was scary for you, but you lucked out with only losing power for 3 hours. I remember earlier this year LifeWithPets lost power for days and Sheila put battery powered air pumps on every tank.

      Yikes! I'll have to find that episode. Yeah, this little outage is giving me a little time to better prepare for next time. 😨

    We had thiis happen last night. We had generator but it had been on since morning and died. So we did towels on top of both tanks and we lowered water level in crayfish tank and in the neon tetra tank we poured water like 75 times thsn rested for 15minutes and we had tin cans around tanks with tea lights and we heated water on grill and added in glass spaghetti Jars or plastic bottles to tanks when all tea lights used up. Was out from 6pm to 3pm next day, but everyone survived, and now I'm going to sleep finally . And we are ordering the backup supplies mentioned in your video. Thanks.

    So glad I subscribed to your channel. This popped up on my feed and we're expecting a surprise ice storm. Just in case I think I'll be going back to pet smart for some of those battery filters.

    Awesome job! Very well put together...greas t reminder too as most of us with MTS are likely to forget to buy extra supplies for those added tanks! So glad your outage was brief :)!

    • @GirlTalksFish
      @GirlTalksFish  6 лет назад

      So sorry I missed your comment somehow! Yes, I think that was the biggest takeaway I learned: don't forget to get more supplies for my ever growing collection of tanks! 😂

      It all worked out. I try to keep all of the tanks as balanced as possible. Fortunately it was warm. It was a long week of catch up though.

    I was waiting and wishing that you'd tackle on how to reduce pressure on overhead filters. Maybe you could help me out or give me a bit of advice on how I can reduce it.
    Btw, I love your videos and advices! Keep it up! I subscribed to your channel :)

    • @GirlTalksFish

      For sure! Are you talking about hang-on-back filters? I've got a whole video on reducing filter flow, so hopefully you'll find it useful. :) ruclips.net/video/GkzZKjcFzA4/видео.html (P.S. Thank you so much for the subscribe!)

      @@kneil28 Oh! I looked it up and I've called that type of filter an "overhead sump" in the past but it's the same thing. Depending on how fast the flow is, you can definitely block the output with some craft mesh, connect it to a DIY spray bar, put decor or a soap dish underneath the outflow, etc. Check out the video I linked for more ideas. Hope this helps!

    Great content and very well presented in an engaging way. I have watched a LOT of fish care videos and run 8 tanks right now - please keep up the great work. I am going to go research generators!!

    • @GirlTalksFish
      @GirlTalksFish  6 лет назад

      Thank you so much! Yes, I'm looking into generators too and it looks like a) I need to get some kind of hookup to the power box outside so that I don't have to run power cords out the window and b) I need to find a way to store fuel to run it!

    I’m sorry I think that was a awful and tasteless intro I have family in Texas that was really impacted from that winter storm I couldn’t even watch this video because that intro hurt then you have the ordasity to pop up and say I’m just kidding basically like the world is already going thru enough and you make it like a joke so so so horrible I don’t think I can watch another one of your videos 😡
