Natural Saltwater Aquarium Setup - Locally Sourced! (North Sea)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- This is a really fun project I have done before, and I thought I'd share it with you. I bought an aquarium and decided to turn it into a natural locally sourced saltwater aquarium, sourced from the North Sea. I put shrimp and a sand goby in the tank and I really enjoy watching it. This is not exactly the same as my regular content but I still hope you'll enjoy it!

*WOW* a 1000 subscribers! Thanks to everyone who has subscribed!
Great!!! Be proud!
Trust me, I am
Congrats!
I can say that im one of the OGs of this channel.
You certainly can
Since you're keeping more complex animals like a fish, I would highly recommend at least getting some high water movement in the tank if you're not going to get a filter. As you can see from where you picked them up, those animals aren't from stagnant water. A powerhead should do the trick. I would also recommend getting some dry live rock so that beneficial bacteria can grow on it. The water movement will basically make the rock act like a biological filter. Sure, that means not everything you have will be locally sourced, but it'll be much better for your aquarium in the long run (or you can get a big hunk of porous rock from the beach if there are any).
I agree that this is not the ideal setup, however you have to keep in mind that I'm going to release all animals in little over a week. I do manually simulate water movement. Thanks for the tips
This is great, I've done this with my kids just to show them new things and living across the street from the beach made it real easy.
Every time I see one of your videos I'm more eager to have an eco sphere keep it up men i really enjoy your content
Thanks Daniel! You should try it yourself it's a lot of fun
@@LifeinJars im making a beach Ecospere in june.
Cool project! would love to see the flounders. You might want to use a small sponge filter, and maybe breed some brine shrimp as food for the fish. Add some seaweeds of different kinds into the tank. Sea lettuce is really good and is edible for humans, too.
I will try to add some sea lettuce. I was also planning to catch some little copepods and other crustaeceans from the same marina.
cool!
Life in Jars?: Yeah, what happened with the flounders that makes you not put them in this time? What did the flounders do?
Zebra Finch I just wanted to mix it up a little bit so I have different species in the tank everytime.
It's always interesting to see what's going to happen to an aquarium, especially z saltwater aquarium!
Nice vid as usual!
Thanks Hanao! Just putting things together and watching what happens, those are my favorite projects. It's also my favorite way of learning.
Sea makes a very refreshing libation.
Very cool, I think you might want to add a bubbler or a small filter. Just to oxygenate the water. Also having moving water helps prevent dead zones and stagnant water.
I manually create water movement, especially on the surface to ensure enough oxygen in the water.
Life in Jars? I was wondering how you create water movement?
Also this setup would work perfectly for a freshwater setup. Most of the creatures in a freshwater aquarium are suited to a low oxygen environment and have a higher tolerance to nutrient levels. Saltwater creatures however are extremely sensitive and a nutrient spike could kill everything. The creatures in your aquarium were caught in the surf. They are used to high water movement, low nutrient levels, and high oxygen levels. You just need something to add water movement. This will reduce nutrient and bacteria buildup, oxygenate the water, and will simulate the natural habitat of those creatures.
I would recommend a power head or a filter
You’re videos are so fascinating to me because I’m only by fresh water and it’s a whole different part of the world. Keep it up!!!
Cool to know!
So cool, I've always wanted to do this with native uk rockpool species for ages now.
If you know anywhere with rock pools you should definitely give it a go rock pooling for new shrimp species and other cool stuff. I personally really like the look of Palaemon serratus (common prawns) and think they'd make a good addition to your aquarium if you add a couple more rocks.
You should have done some kind of sand elevation, to have some part of terrarium, maybe some great crustaceans could be put there.
That's a awesome new project. Bring more videos!
Thanks! More video's coming soon
I can't wait for the update video.
I always had an idea to have an aquarium only composed from local beach waters. Such as fish, crustaceans, and seaplants.
Congrats met de 1K subs!
Dank u
The eyes of the shrimp really scare me
I love this channel! Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!
Sometimes I'll put on one of your videos just to groove to the music :)
gefeliciteerd met 1K !!!!
Dankjewel!
Great video
Nice
You should put a dicast model ship or car in the tank to see how long crustaceans take to grow on it
really awesome video
Thanks!
that s so great to watch love it
Yeah it is a LOT of fun to just watch them all do their thing.
Thanks I also love to watch it
@@LifeinJars LOL
Wow the shrimp was like: Poof and i'm gone, even on 0.25x Speed! :D
Don’t mind me asking can sea salt be mixed with freshwater to make saltwater for a fish tank
If am not wrong the sand also collected from sea??
Yes
How's it going 2022?
Try to get the Atlantic water and pacific water. .
Nice “solidified algae” 🙂
;)
Pretty sure that crab is a pea crab
That might very well be the case
I have a question, i live in Rhode island and was wondering if i could do a native tank? what would be the best substrate?
What kind of scraper net is he using?
Did you have any filter? i am thinking of doing a natural saltwater tank similar to your tank, but just wondering how long it lasted.
Love itt
Bro how to to treat sea water for marine tank
Don’t take your seawater from the marina!!!! There is slick oil and gasoline floating on top.
your aqurium ph reans
tell me something what r you..........you r indian aren't you ?
No Dutch
Salt water tanks DEPEND on water movement.
Well this one did fine
