Oh my God seeing my tank at 5:19 make it into this everything is 5/5 FTR is amazing. It was the first tank I was truly proud off. Love it, thanks dude 🙌
I had 15 aquariums until I got married and started a family. Now that I'm retired I'm going to get back into the hobby. I'm getting a few custom tanks built and my main tank is going to be 60"x30"x24" (172 gallon) $1,300 for the tank without a lid and a couple of holes for a sump. I'm getting 4 custom 125 gallon with low iron front glass (losing length to add width) and 4 standard 75 gallon. I don't have any plans yet for fish because I'm going to focus on aqua scaping, filtration and DIY CO2 injection. I'll be spending around $10,000 over the next few years scaping the tanks and a few thousand on stands. Once I'm satisfied with the aqua scaping then I'll decide on fish. All of the aquariums will be community tanks with low stocking. For me, fish have always been considered a bonus to a well designed and natural looking aqua scape. All of my fish choices will be under 3 inches, most under 2 inches. I'll also have shrimp and snails.
Our LFS has two Potato puffers. They are so unique! On a related note: I found a female Veiltail betta for 3.99 in PetSmart, in a tiny cup. I recused it and put in my 20 long with my embers and pencil fish. Inspired by your rescues. Hope to see a great transformation! 🤞🏻
My 5/5 food is definitely Pho. I could seriously eat it every day, we've eaten it so much that my wife who's actually Vietnamese is tired of it and doesn't want to eat it anymore. Whoops.
i discovered this channel like a week ago and i have been obsessively watching all of your videos!! i think i definitely am going to go down the aquascaping rabbit hole, and my first attempt at it will be in a 29 gallon tank! thank you so much for the inspiration dude, i can’t wait to give some plants and fish the best lives i can possibly give them
me : *about to go have my mid term exam* also Chris : oh hey let's upload ftr me : *proceeds to watch ftr right before exam because ftr is more important*
My local fish store advised me to buy the fish a different time after getting my first tank set up and cycled. I waited about a week before I could go back to get my tetras, but it was worth the wait!
Wholesome episode! I just wished you’d get a partner for Millie. They’re highly social birds (in Austria, it’s illegal to sell single budgies/cockatiels/larger parrots as it’s considered animal cruelty)
So I actually ordered from Aquarium Co-Op because of you!! Unfortunately my air pump came damaged, but they’re sending me a new one which is very exciting!
I'm so glad I found your channel, beforehand I had an ugly boring neon gravel goldfish tank with nothing in it, after watching your videos I've since changed to natural substrate and covered with live plants! Glad my fish are happy now
One common natural process I noticed in my aquarium is niche partitioning, yes I know people might dislike snails but they are important , and in my tank they have certain jobs according to their species: Malaysian trumpet snails release trapped gasses in the substrate by aerating the substrate making it not stagnant, ramshorn snails clean algae off glass and plants and eat dead parts of plants which helps the plants because otherwise instead of losing all of their leaves they only lose part of their leaves, bladder snails might be in my tank too doing the same as the ramshorns but might have gone locally extinct in my tank due to being outcompeted, assassin snails cull the weak snails and limit the growth of their populations to not make the other species of snails explode in numbers, and for my fish I have kuhli loaches that eat the excess food that falls to the bottom and maybe even scavenge on dead fish and snails, bristlenose pleco that cleans the tank but I have him because I like his looks because he still makes waste as all fish his cleaning is not as essential as that's my job, and for my midwater fish I have cherry barbs and white cloud minnows, but the tank gets warm enough for all species so I don't need a heater.
5/5 food... I once made French fries the old fashioned way but with a carribean twist. It's the 1755 recipe by M. Menon written in the suppers at court way. They're served with Dijon mustard. For my twist I used sweet potatoes instead of potatoes and and rum instead of white wine. Those fries, you don't fry them in oil, it is either in clarified butter or animal fat. First, in bowl you mix flour and butter until well incorporated. Then, in a pot of water, you put the butter flour mixture with a good amount of salt (to your taste). Then you add your potato whole and you let them cook for 15 minutes on high heat. Let them to cool then you peel them in an unusual way by rubbing them with a cloth towel. After that you slice them first down in the middle then you cut them in balanced and equal little batons. Then comes the frying. In the video I saw, the lady used duck fat, me I used clarified butter, so it is up to you. Before frying, the wine batter, It's literally flour and wine. You batter the soon to be fries in the batter then into the hot fat of your choice until golden and you remove them and let them cool to enjoy. Forget new fries, I like the old one better They're so crispy and tasty, I wished I had made more of them. Also tiny tips, add the battered fries in small bashes so the fat stays around the same temperature
My car broke down Thursday, I had to pay for taxi's to and from work since then, and probably for a few more days, I had it towed away today for repairs that I really can't afford ... but at least there's FTR today. 🙃
Chris: "Pearlweed is one of the easiest plants to grow" Every Rotala owner in a 10 kilometer radius: *And I took that personally* Big fan from Kolkata, please dont take seriously!
These tanks are really inspiring me to do better....picked up more plants / wood the other day. Hopefully will be able to submit something decent for you to see some day down the road.
Definitely feeling better having seen those tanks and Millie! ❤ Pls giv her a head scritch from me! ❤ Question Time. What is the foreground plant with the floating leaves, runners and roots, please? @4:45 That is definitely my sort of aesthetic! FWIW when I came across YT aquascaping channels earlier this year, fell in love with the idea of a long tank with schooling fish So I bought a 12 gallon and will have a single betta! I know my own limitations, mostly budgetary! 🤣🤣
God that huge tank with all the tetras is so beautiful. To sit there and watch them zoom around like they would in the wild would be mesmerizing Edit: i just realized i rewatched and double commented on this video… just that good i guess 🙈
I’m about to get fish my 120 litre! As soon as I get them I’ll submit my tank, sadly it'll probably not be a 5/5 lol. Also when are you going to do another plant video? I’d love to see an update on the plants, and how their doing.
My 5/5 Food is my mom's couscous so yummyyyy Also I had a question: Is putting a little snail in a planted 2 gallons tank okay ? Like if it's just for the snail ? Because I have my biggest tanks at my mom house , but my flat is too small for them. And I miss taking care of a tank but I don't want to mistreat a snail so Is it good enough or no ?
Why did you keep saying that Angel tank was rimless? I saw a black frame, industrial silicone beads, and a full canopy.. Definitely rimmed. Gorgeous tank, I completely agree. You said "rimless" and I thought my video was lagging. lol. Great vid!!
I have done it... Got my first and probably my only cube garden.. 60p..hoping for millie's blessings.. Will show an update in 3 months.. Starting my filter tonight
that was peaceful and funny too 10 out of 5 for the exellent duo (don't tell repashi😜) and longer than the last 5/5 food for me is le tournedos rossini or la blanquette de veau i need to toss a coin to know what's the one i'll choose

All LFS should require water samples!!! Such an on point idea to prevent abuse (as much as one can prevent it)
entirely agree

The Orange Congo Puffer is looking so healthy. Though, the size of the tank is small for a fish that has still some growth left
I would eat cinnamon rolls until I died.
I'm living for these 5/5 videos! All smiles the whole time
I'm suddenly even more pleased with the Amazon sword in my 75 gallon; it's about the same size, possibly larger than those in that fancy zoo tank 😁
6:43 chester zoo is amazing and that photo looks old, its also the water feature to a sloth

The sweet potato boi at 3:06 is a Congo puffer, aka the potato puffer! :)
Love that it is actually called a potato puffer
I have a sword in my 75, and the leaves are like 3 feet long and dozens of them. Had to trim all but like 5 for some of my plants to get light.
how do i remove brown algae on sand theres alot of it and i dont know how to remove it
I dont have too much exp with this but i used to just upturn my sand a little to hide the algae and then turn down lighting hours
Loving the positivity today! Great tanks...
One day I’ll have one of my fish tanks featured in your vids
1:35 the trimmed pearlweed stems sprout even more stems from where they were cut off?
so... the pearlweed is the Grecian hydra of aquatic plants?
These tanks are really inspiring me to do better....picked up more plants / wood the other day. Hopefully will be able to submit something decent for you to see some day down the road.
