    I have an outdoor 15g heavily planted dirted tank that has been running for more than 2 years. No filter or any form of circulation, just top ups every few months since it's covered. The guppies, shrimps and snails are still breeding. Feeding is minimal at around 3 to 4 times a week. It looks as clear as my filtered indoor setup. Had a few challenges in the first few months but once things stabilized it just created its own ecosystem and balanced itself out.

      @@wix3759 when refilling/ topping up, I just use a cheap dechlorinator. I can probably get away with just letting the water sit in a container for 24 hours to let the chlorine dissipate but I prefer using dechlorinator because it's faster and cheap anyways.

      @@joelkanawati4729 the tank has ramshorn and MTS in it..the snail population isn't really much of a problem because the tank has mininal algae and the feeding isn't really heavy so there isn't much for the snails to eat..I also use the snails as feeding indicators, if there's too much of them then I need to reduce the feeding and take out any dead leaves from the plants to control their population

    Awesome tank! I think a key thing here is also the relatively deep substrate level for a tank this size. It allows the differentiation of bacteria into layers which promotes nutrient recycling and keeps the water quality more stable!

      Munch Mary it’s good to have lots of plants, with a mix of fast growing stem plants and medium to slow growing mid and foreground plants. Floating plants are also very important for no filter tanks as they work to remove a lot of the nitrate in the water. You need the fast growing plants as they help take up nutrients faster, keeping the water cleaner! Hope that helps!

    • @dat_boii
      @dat_boii 2 года назад

      Without the plants you'd have to have a filter or perform water changes very, very often.
      Ideally, a canister filter with lots of porous filter media, like Seachem Matrix, would be pretty effective at maintaining good water parameters since it allows for huge beneficial bacteria colonies to perform the nitrogen cycle. Maybe even chuck some Pothos plant cuttings on top of the tank with their roots submerged to help suck up waste.
      The reason no-filter works on heavily planted tanks is because the plants consume the fish fertilizer (nitrate/nitrite/ammonia) to fuel their growth, basically working as a natural filter.
      In a bare-bones tank with no plants to absorb the fish waste and no filter full of bacteria to convert it into less harmful chemicals, it's going to rapidly build up in the water until it poisons your fish.
      The only way I can imagine no-filter working without plants/frequent water changes is if you had a large tank for a very small fish so that the fish waste is heavily diluted by the sheer volume of water.

      Regis Aquatics I mean clearly it worked but I’ve read sand isn’t best when having a dirted tank. Have you done both?

      That's the one item I'm not liking, choice of white? sand color detracts from the natural look and makes tank look messy. Otherwise the wabi is cool and fish look happy.

      @@Animalstrom Sand is the best for dirted tank.. you can do mini, so fine gravel as well, that is almost like sand.

    I can't help but wonder if I need brighter lights I mean I have little clip on LED lights that go on the back and you know it's on 6 hours a day but maybe it's not suitable enough I don't know I know that betas don't like incredibly intense light.
    I wish I could ask someone like I think I have like a six or seven gallon tank and I'm wondering if it needs one of those lights that just goes across the tank because in Taiwan all we have are glass aquariums without lids so it's like you buy an aquarium you going to hang on filter or one of those filters you put inside and then you put a light on top of it but I really don't know

    How is it that no water change is needed? What about the fish poop? I LOVE THE BALL WITH THE PLANTS. Man you got some talent. Minute 11:44 is the BEST for me. Thank you.

      these little guppies aren't messy fish at all. The poop is small. It gets absorbed by the plants as nutrients, and the rest just kind of goes away into the water .. where i guess it's absorbed there too. I don't understand no water changes ever.. but I guess it works here. The guppies have such a low bio-load. The snail and shrimp poop more than all of them combined.
