Interested in a t-shirt? Let me know here in the comments. Also, if you want to skip the t-shirt pitch, fast forward to 2:57, where I start talking about air pumps.
Tazawa Tanks Thanks for the time stamp. I almost clicked away before I saw the time stamp. Nice video. Thanks for the info
Your post is really precise and informative. Really appreciate it, will definitely be tuning in to your additional talks in future. Can I just check with you - how long can a normal air pump and air excretion sponge last? Thks
You should plug your shirt in at the end of your video. You might loose view time for those who won't stick around. Just my two cents, great content 🔥

You’re welcome
Thanks lol

Thanks
To late his already there when i saw your comment wasted my 3 mins of my life gizz they need to do that kinda stuff in the end of the video not the start not all of us care about that shirt 👕
I’m a strong believer in air stones.. I run them on all my tanks and they seem to filter better and substrate cleaner.. I don’t run sponge filters.. but I do use air stones instead of powerheads and wave makers as much as possible to keep debris suspended till intakes get them. On heavy planted tanks I also sleep well at night knowing not going to wake up to a tank with a massive o2 crash. Mostly to me a tank with bubbles is just more appealing lol.
Absolutely want a t-shirt. Like the dark colored as it stays cleaner

9:48 video annnnnnd we get on topic at 5:20 👎🏾
Do the shirt pitch at the and of a video or a 10sec mention. 🤦🏽♂️
Yeah, you’re right. I went way too long on that other stuff. Thanks for watching though!
I used sponge filters and a hang filter on my tanks....also always used a air filter for connecting diffusers and air stones to help promote oxygen and to move heat around tank.
Good gosh, mister - you are very impressive!
Hi there and thanks for the the vedio , I have 240L aquarium and i would like to have a stock of African cichild fish my I do have Fluval FX 6 and an air pump but I have an issue which is micropubbles when the filter hits the air bubbles it creates a miss of bubbles I am not able to solve this problem please help.
Thank you
My understanding is that air pumps do not increase the oxygen in a tank, it is said that it does let the water 'gas off' by interrupting the surface.
I only use air and a large sponge when I'm trying to cycle a tank, it seems to cycle faster than just the canister alone?
The glass lids are always harder to clean when I have air burst at the surface, it creates more of that stuff you have to scrape off with a razor blade.
I keep Discus and Flowerhorns...
That is correct. The oxygen happens during a gas exchange when the surface tension of the water is disrupted.
Wouldn’t it seem to reason that if it cycles a tank faster that if likely helps filter the tank better? The two are on in the same.
It's not the air pump it's the sponge filter which would do the same if a power head was pushing the water through it..
Bass Player you completely missed the point. If it’s good enough to cycle a tank faster as you say is your experience then common sense would lead one to believe that it is a better filtration device then whatever else you’re using when the tank is already cycled for that specific tank. There is nothing conducive biologically speaking that would make one filter type cycle faster then another other then dwell time. Dwell time is also the only part of filtration that actually matters. The more contact time water has through media the better the filtration is. I was challenging your perception of filtering not anything to do with air in particular.
I did not miss the point, you are misunderstanding what I am saying. In addition to the 'canister' filter the addition of a sponge filter speeds the cycle time. In no way will a sponge filter on it's own air driven or not handle more conversion than a large canister suited for 200 gallons and is what I use.
You should probably go back and re-read my original post. "it seems to cycle faster than just the *canister* alone"
I have a question i have a 50 gallon with a marineland 360 canister with a double wheel penquon filter i used to change water every two weeks. Now my cichlid tank is over stocked how often should i change water i also use double air stones and. 2 wave makers one skimming top on one side and on other side pointing down
T Shirts - Yes
Is it ok cause I got a 40 gallon filter and a 30 gallon filter for my 55 gallon and do I really need it there is a lot of bubbles coming out of my filters
The problem w/ airstones on a small tank is that the floating plants don't seem to like them
Oh come on Braddah, islanders support islanders lolol would love to rep “TT”... get that order in cheeehooo!!! 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
Do, you ever repair, your Whisper Quiet air pump?
I have a question. I have a bubble stick in my tank and its causing a build up of bubbles at the surface of the water and they aren't popping. I tried cutting the wand in half to make it shorter but its still causing build up.
How can i fix this? I have 2 african cichlids
Use an air stone rather than a want
I have 4 tetras and one of them stays in a corner behind a plant and the other ones are swimming around or just chilling in a 10 gallon tank do you recommend an airpump?
yes to the shirt!
Really informative vid Zenzo. I love how you always explain things in layman's terms so I can clearly understand 😂 Nice work!
I would love one but I am in the EU, so hopefully in the future
Awesome video, very informative!
I have a tropical tank with guppies in it, and my air pump is ridiculously loud and stops me from sleeping sometimes, do I need it on 24/7 or can it turn it off at night?
You should leave it on 24-7. You can place it on top of a piece of foam or a folded towel to muffle the sound.
T shirt 👍
great stuff
2:55 Video starts here
yeah i travel with them all the time,
What size is the tank with the Oscar in it?
I'll buy a tee shirt! # we love tazawa tanks

Tazawa Tanks great vid
Hey Zenzo, I enjoyed this video; it was very informative. I see newer hobbyists ask all the time on our group page, as well as a others. I am not currently using any air pumps on my two tanks, but I am certainly not opposed to using them. I have a sump with an additional canister filter that I feel is more than adequate at this time. I just prefer to obtain surface agitation through those means. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this video.
Half of the video its about buying a tshirt
Count me in for the shirt. I’ll wear it on my next visit to the CA academy of sciences aquarium.
Can i use a wave maker instead of airpump
Interested but in UK 😔
Hi am a new subscriber
Hello . I love sponge filters they are the best most simple filter around. I never have problems with ammonia since using these. Never been a fan of canisters. HOB filter are ok but sponges rule all . Work great easy to maintain and last forever. My only question is ya how you were talking about wTer pockets in tank. Do you think they do enough water movement so you don’t have water pockets?
If you are referring to dead spots in the tank, you can always add a small power head. The other thing to do would be to add an airstone on the other side of the tank.
I put two sponges in all my tank. One on each side
I use the whisper air pumps for 100 gallons on all my tanks. They have two outlets in them. I put one sponge on each outlet. They are quiet and work great
Yes on t-shirt xl. :)
I'm interested in your Tazawa t-shirt!🖐🏻
YES PLEASE 1 5X. AND. 1 6x THANKS 😊
Shirts would be awesome
Skip to 4:00
Awesome. I got a little solar fountain for a small outdoor pond. It doesn't do much but it does break surface tension... i still think the turtles move the water more. Maybe i need 2.
What about Canada ? We your neighbour?...
What does air pump helps you for
Is the t-shirt screen pressed?
So..yes?
Yes I would buy a shirt
Most definitely would want a shirt, and great video 🐠🤙
Yes please! I’m in the US and would love to buy a Tazawa Tanks tee :)
I would buy a shirt
yes I would like to buy a t shirt I I'm in Canada
Yes,yes,yes, t shirt ....pleeeaaaassse;)
I aways keep an air pump running. You never know when the filter will go out and I don’t dose carbon dioxide so I don’t have a problem keeping the surface a little more agitated
I’ll buy a shirt if you do it I would love it
I would rock a shirt
Dude, I like your videos but 27% of this is about t-shirts. This is a 10 minute video. I like the shirt bro. But waay too long on the tshirts
Sorry about that
I feel like u need an airpump for more of the fish that have a very sealed lid
I would buy a few Tee's
Awesome. They will be loaded on my website within a week or so.
I have a 14 gallon tank with tetras a d Cory's in it plus 3 snails. I am also cycling a 3.5 gallon tank cycling ready for a betta, I've watched programs about the Amazon and the water there is very stagnant I believe. I am also lec to believe bettas don't like fast flowing water so I'm assuming for both my aquariums I don't need to worry to much about an airstone? However for all of you who use one I do think it makes your tanks look very beautiful.
I have a 20 long with 3 corydoras, some ghost shrimp and 1 Betta and they did okay without an air pump, seemed a bit more active with it
Yes I would like to getting a t-shirt
T shirt please
