    when i saw the initial video (about an hour ago, just stumbled across your channel this evening and am really happy i found it!) set up i was thinking denizens barbs would be a perfect match for the tank. Glad to see a group in there! back to watching !

    Hey Evan!! Love your videos and waiting for some new ones, I really like your presentations. I am just starting up my 29 long dirted tank! My question is when you get your tank planted and filled with water.and off we go no lights , no fish and we start to cycle the tank. doing a water change every other day,now when would I add my bacteria starter and would that large of a water change slow down the cycling of the tank?would say 3 or 4 fish help the cycling process ?I plan on planting heavley.I'm planing to start by the end of the week. Any info would be a great help .Thanks so much REX

    Greetings From CalliSF!
    Wow I just wanted to say thanks for the 5 videos on setting up a dirted tank. I have been researching for weeks now and by far your channel is the superior on info, details, and has given me the confidence to proceed with my tank. I will surely keep watching and let my fellow San Francisco Peeps check out Cloud9Aquariums. Cheers!

    Hey bro! I love what you are up to. COuld you please do a video on how to deal with tank bullies. This wouldn't normally be a problem because I don't buy aggresive fish but one of my neon tetras is bullying all of the other ones?

    Does the "dirt" negate the need for co2??

    if your going to dirt a tank you should keep enough plants to absorb up all of the nutrient or its not beneficial at all releasing all them into the water

    Sir. Your tanks are fcking beautiful and inspiring.
    That being said, ive set up my dirted tank and capped the soil with 1.5-2 inches of gravel and the water is still turning brown.
    Is this something that will subside with water changes or am i doing something wrong??

      did you figure anything out?

    • @st.charlesgeraldizo1784
      @st.charlesgeraldizo1784 8 лет назад

      Yea i was using a potting mix and not a soil. Potting mix has multiple fillers. One of which are chunks of wood. Broke down that tank, sifted out all the fillers and put less soil and more substrate to cap. Problem solved. This was a while ago i dont even have that tank anymore

    Good end to the series but I disagree with the clean up crew. It's nice to have a couple SAE'S or a pleco in the tank. But you don't really need them if you tank is balanced with ferts and lights. And in the end it's gonna be a pain to pull those pleco a out when they start wedding up the plants. Great job. Love the channel. You got me started. Check me out bro
