How I Keep a Pristine Low Tech Aquascape
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Many of you have been requesting videos on tank maintenance. Here's one! This is typically something I reserve for off the camera so I can focus on what I'm doing. Hopefully, this gives some insight into how I keep what I consider to be a pristine tank.
My best advice to spend time with your tank and discover what it takes to keep it clean. The level of maintenance required is drastically different from tank to tank and changes over time as the tank matures. I'd say that most mature/stable tanks are far easier to look after than new ones.
Let me know if you like this sort of video. If so, I'm definitely open to doing more in the future for other enclosures I have in the animal room. Also, if you missed the original build video, be sure to check out the below video!

Many of you have been requesting tank maintenance videos. Hopefully, this satiates you for a little bit. 😉 Let me know if you want to see more like this in the future for other enclosures. I hope you all have a great week! Enjoy the spring weather 🌿 🌻
Enjoy the spring weather too!
MORE CONTENT THANK YOU! 🙏
You made a crucian mistake. It's "let minnow", not let me know 😂
Your channel has inspired me to make my very own terrarium! Thank you for your channel and all your helpful videos ! I do have a couple questions that would really help my out with my terrarium project. I understand you can make a closed terrarium that needs very little to no maintenance. I am attempting to make a coffee table with a closed terrarium in the table itself. I will be making it air tight and have a florescent light cycle built into the table. I'm not sure if this is possible due to the size of the terrarium. So I guess what I'm asking is, if I make a closed terrarium in a big glass box inside a table instead of a jar, will it have the same effect? Or will I need to add air holes? And if I need air holes what maintenance would be required? Thank u for you help!
Hi Tanner :) may I ask where the ghost knife fish is?
I like the way the fish are familiar with you and are bouncing around as they wait for you to finish cleaning.
Haha I know! They are not shy at all.
danios too theyre so skittish
This is a really pretty scape and those flowering hygros are awesome. I really like the established ecosystem.
Love seeing a thriving low tech setup. I'm not ready to throw in the towel and jump on the c02 bandwagon.
I don't even think it's practical if you have a lot of tanks. CO2 = faster growth, which equates to more maintenance.
@@TannerSerpa I agree why rush in to things like this
when it goes a lot better when you take your time at it.
Your choise of music and keeping it down when you speak is very helpfull when one has (some minor) hearing problems. Somehow your videos are both zenlike - and intresting and informative. Significant to a true teacher. Your love for the work shows. ( English is not my first language so if I choose words poorly, spell badly, or somehow offend you - or anyone else - it is not my intent, and I apologize sincerely)
Tanner you’re such a G. The world is a better place because you’re in it. Keep doing you homie
I I’m getting better ever thank I set up but hopefully I can be on your level one day
All in practice.
Water changes are the most relaxing part of owning a tank for me. It just feels good to have a clean tank with happy fish.
Tanner, there is nothing you that I have not liked. I live the aquatic dream life through you. Keep those videos coming!
I could watch these tank maintenance videos all day. Epic scape on that tank
Really nice aquascape. This shows again that low tech aquariums can be very beautiful too, and a lot easier to maintain than hi tech ones.
This has always been my favorite tank on youtube! Exploding with life!🌿🐠
LOOKED GOOD AND THANK YOU FOR SHOWING AQUARIUM MAINTENANCE :)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
Beautiful layout in this scape, love the plant density. 🌿
Thank you Tanner for responding. I was having one of those days and you just made it. Thank you again.
7:02 "And down here, I don't like this one"
Shrimp: WEEEEEEEE!!!
This is now my favourite low tech planted tank. Beautiful 👍🙏
So relaxing and therapeutic! Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day 😊
"Gives you time to be intimate with your tank" Haha, love that
Lovely tank scape and great instructions. I am a beginner who found this very helpful. Thank you.
This was so helpful, thank you 🙏 your videos always give me the confidence to try something I haven't before 😃 I started a terrarium business in my spare time because of your terrarium videos and now I will tackle the tidying of my 6 month old tank 🌿 I've been nervous and put it off but now I have a good idea of what I can get away with. Really appreciate all your knowledge you share so freely ✌️
Tanner is secretly a great hair stylist
Love the serpa design logo on the tank 👍🏼
Since watching you last year I e been waiting to have the energy to set up a planted tank. You have inspired me to set up 3! Go big or go home 🏡 I guess! Thank you for so much valuable information and true inspiration! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This second channel was such a good idea.
Keep it up dude! Its a beautiful world.
Beautiful tank and video my friend❤
That Amano shrimp is HUGE!
I’m so glad your video came up in my feed. This is a really super video...you have a great presence and I’ve really enjoyed this maintenance session of your low-tech tank. The tank looks amazing, too! Really inspirational! Thanks!
Im going to try and recreate this tank like how people recreate Michelangelo's work
Loved this ! Just found this side channel,I would totally let videos of you just maintaining your tanks run , very calming and inspiring !
A beautiful Tank which will deliver hours of interesting things to watch. I think -honestly - this ist best solution of enjoying the hobby instead of a difficult scape wich needs lots of work to look good. greetings from germany.
I really enjoyed this. Seems like your fish are very attuned to your presence. Swimming right up to ya. Very cool. You can really see the difference afterwards. 👍👍😎
Great video. Im enjoy your more casual, f2f vibe. As always information, articulate, beautiful & restful. Namaste 🖖
Oh my gosh I love how curious those little cherry shrimp are
I just absolutely love these kinds of videos!! Idk maybe it’s the instant gratification but I could watch them all the time.
Beautiful video and channel friend love that video new friend here❤️😃👍
Definitely, enjoyed watching you maintain the tank. Especially all that extra leaves and plants, and combining the extra stems to thicken the growth.
I just watched myself on a Sunday tank spruce up day through you!!! Looks so lovely
Keep up the good work! Love the new channel! If you could post more in-depth vivarium and tank diy’s (like your 10 gallon conversions/ custom glass work etc.) on this channel that would be much appreciated!
I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Nice video and I hope you have an amazing day!!!
I hope you use the water you took out and use that on your indoor potted plants and your outside plants. Then you can use the excess on your trees and yard, since you have so many tanks. My plants love the aquarium water
I finally feel like my moss isn't just a mutant! it has been super straggly, and all the other tanks I have seen (higher-tech) have had these perfect bushes. that tank is looking so strong as well!
Nice i like the packed and forest look cheers, anyone else?
Yes, just what I needed!
Oh...I just liked the video and now it says 666 XD
I have tinwinni! Love them
That was really nice.
Your tank looks amazing!
A water lily in a planted fish tank! How clever. Does it bloom. Love your channels.
wow that tank is NICE
Love this video. The tank is beautiful and the music is so nice!
Amazing content. You got yourself a new sub
tanks a bunch
I like this! More maintenance video's please :)
Definitely would like to see more of how you maintain the tanks! Haha yes the flourish tabs fo smell like that! I use those also!
You're fish tanks are awesome. Every tank I've had with live plants gets algy ridden. Our one tank now keeps getting black beard algy big time. Yes, pulled everything out,scrubbed everything with peroxide. Water changes. It looks great for awhile and then bam...black beard comes back lol.
Some of my tanks get stuck with it for awhile. Often times, a single plant brings it in and ruins the whole system. It thrives from an imbalance, such as light to nutrient levels. You just have to pin point the source and dial in the tank until you hardly notice it.
Amazing looking tank
Very good video, I'm adding this to my aquatic plants video
So helpful to see the maintenance 👍
Thank you!
Damn dude , that’s impressive
very well done! Thank you for showing us the right way.
Great looking tank
Great to see that you do generally the same things like I do. So I am not that far from proper routine. Just my tank is smaller, without mechanical filtration (total silence next to the tank is fantastic), but it require 1 - 1,5 week water change (about 30%). Only red cherry shrimps there and few Heterandria formosa But generally the same routine like yours! Cheers mate!.
Great video as always!
That is one enormous amano shrimp!
Nice
Hey Tanner, just found your two channels and have been stuck for over an hour! So peaceful and inspiring! hey, question -- can you use the water you siphon out of the tank for anything? (ie. watering potted plants/outdoor plants, etc.? What do you do with it?
দারুণ । আমিও low-tech planted setup খুব পছন্দ করি।
আমার বেশিরভাগ গুলোই non-co2 setup .. যেগুলোর অনেক কম পরিচর্যা করলেই ভালো ফল পাওয়া যায় ।
I love all of this. Have been following you forever it feels like, I love how you always take the living parts of the tank into consideration in a proper way. Not everybody does sadly...
I was wondering, do you have any reccomendations as to how to keep a bucket filter running in a bedroom? My tanks are so darn noisy and I have tried everything; vaseline on the impeller, made sure the tubing isn't vibrating against anything, installed soundproof matts in the cabinets and styrofoam under the filter. Still hear that annoying buzzing sound. Am I to give up? 🙈 halp lol
Nice Wind Waker Link
Hello Tanner, this tank is absolutely beautiful and I love it that it's low-tech. Very nice and soothing video. Thanks
i suggest u to remove rear light because its trigering the alge on nearest edge of your aquarium. Other than that very good job for a low tech tank. Grats my friend...
This would totally do well on your main channel.
lovely tank...
Watching the plants stay where you put them first try fill me with incoherent jealous rage.
Thank u si much! Ive defenetly learned some new things!!
amazing tank!
Shrimp yeet at 8:05
Looking good.
Perfect timing! I was just about to do maintenance on my tank
The root tabs smells like blended grass
I bet the shrimp think of tank cleanings as very good times
Trying to catch all the debris that gets stirred up 😂
@@TannerSerpa the fish are used to the weird monkey sending food from the heavens, cleanings let the shrimp experience the miracle!
The tank looks fantastic...you aqua scape looks purely natural. You mentioned you only use root tabs and no liquid ferts...may i inquire as to why?
Very nice! Do you prefer glass or acrylic?
Love all of your content man!
Enjoy spring can’t wait to see more amazing content stay cool🤙
18:02 Tanner got the dumpy 🥵
8:00 Beautiful
Hey tanner love yours videos and I wanna thank u for taking the time to make these for us. I have an algae problem which I'm sure is due to the excess light from my windows but I can't move the tank anywhere else sadly. How can I Combat this issue? My tank literally is covered in alage after like the 3rd day from the last water change
Hope you still reply on old videos, but I was wondering how often do you do this?
I love the cherry shrimp!!
Does the yellowing of leaves mean you need to add root tabs? It takes yrs for the fish poop to actually to actually become useful if the bacteria don't ingest it all completely.
Feel like I've never seen mystery snails on this channel, have you ever owned any?
You don't seem to be worried about stressing out the fish, is that not an issue?
the whole time you were trimming i was thinking "omg omg he's gunna cut one of these fish in half"
Forgive me if I'm repeating any previous questions, but what kind of moss is growing on your hardscape? I started with what I thought was Christmas moss, but over the past five years it has gone from thick, dense and bushy to straggly, long and leggy. Is it unusual for moss to change its characteristics over time?
New subscriber here. Very informative video.
By the way on 4:43 may I know what hydrocotyle is that?
What light did you say you had on this tank?
Nicrew Classic LED www.amzn.com/B071LJKNWS
Will this amzing tank go for contest? (IAPLC 2021)
tons of information in this one thank you for a closer look
but
my brain has been preoccupied with visions of Link yelling, "Pikachu I choose you" and the adventures that ensue
next i had the giggles at a Donkey Kong v Snorlax battle that ends before it starts with a smorgasbord of bananas, peels flying everywhere and an epic nap
lol
totally nerding out on your stuffie shelf :@)
great video Tanner thank you
keep up the aweSome hard work
once again your room mates have it made in the shade
What dechlorinator are you using that is allowing to do instant water changes. Does it affect tank life at all (fish, bacteria,etc).
