Hi Mark! Als ik zo de commentaren lees is er echt wel een probleem met de filterwol van Superfish. Misschien toch maar eens contact opnemen met hen? Misschien dat dit in de toekomst kan vermeden worden...
Once upon a time I worked for a govt facility with lots of aquaculture. A very wise woman with decades of experience once told me to rinse EVERYTHING before introducing it due to the fact that they spray pesticides indiscriminately over all cargo on the big ships shipping containers coming from anywhere overseas.
Right, that is what i wanted to say. I always rinse every single filter that i buy, inside and outside😅 Nothing goes in my tanks without cleaning them first. Sad to see them shrimps die 😢
Thank you for telling us not only the good things but also your sad experience with the shrimps. I do appreciate your simplicity and your humility. All the best for other creations.
Im so sorry about the shrimps, it must have been so sad losing so much shrimps, the shrimps are just so beautiful; I'm glad the tank turn out amazing. Keep up the good work and don't give up, I'm always interested to watch a video about your tanks, even if it wasn't a completely success!
This happened to us!! Bought filter floss from a LFS, put into our canister and our shrimp did the exact same. We used arcadia poly pad to remove anything nasty, turned out to be a contamination in the filter wool. Ours was superfish filter wool. We also did rinse it as you're supposed to. we took the bag back to the LFS and they tested it with their shrimp they lost the tested shrimp also.
In Facebook groups for shrimps some people also mentioned losing shrimps after changing filter floss. It seems a batch of filter floss was contaminated. It was from the brand Superfish.
As I already commented, but to me it happened too, and for Mark and me it was also Superfish. So something is up with the filterfloss batch of that brand. Sadly there is no batchcode in the package.
Thanks voor de video Mark! Ik was het afgelopen jaar wat minder bezig met aquascaping, maar je laatste video’s hebben me weer geïnspireerd! Dank hiervoor! Mij is precies hetzelfde overkomen met het filterwol van Superfish. Niet alleen voor CRS, maar ook mn Cherry en mn Amano’s hadden hier last van. Ik heb gelukkig de rest kunnen redden door heel snel een flinke water change te doen en meteen 3 pompen aan te zetten die zuurstof in het water brachten. Ook had ik een spul gebruikt van JBL dat zware metalen,chloor en andere stoffen bind. Ik heb ergens gelezen op een Belgisch aquarium forum dat er in de filterwol microplastics zitten. Deze gaan in de kieuwen zitten van vissen en garnalen. Doordat de kieuwen van garnalen veel kleiner zijn dan die van vissen kan dit fataal zijn voor de garnalen en hebben de vissen hier minder tot geen last van. De garnalen in deze post lieten precies hetzelfde gedrag zien en ze hebben microscopische sectie gedaan op een garnaal en daarin vonden ze dus de microplastics in de kieuwen. Als het chloor of zware metalen waren dan lijkt het me dat de vissen hier ook problemen aan ondervonden hadden.
I was particularly struck by the beautiful close up views you shared of this tank, and, the music pieces worked so well with each stage of the 'story' of this tank. Maybe not your favorite, but excellent video :)
Thank you for share all the process, Mark! The bad and good thigs to have tanks, sometimes in socialmedia we only watch the goods parts of have an aquarium, but its important know all the sides of this hobby, greeting from Mexico!
same to me, once I changed my black sponge to filter floss and almost all my shrimp died within 1 day... Backed up and removed the filter floss to the black original sponge and 4 months later I got my shrimp colony back and still breeding :) Cheer mate!
Hi MJ, first of all, thank you for sharing your struggles-the video is very informative. I’ve read that filter floss can affect shrimp, and it seems it should be washed before placing it in the filter. I think the best bet would be to check the filter floss packaging, as it usually indicates whether it needs to be rinsed beforehand
Cool tank imo. That really sucks that you lost all the shrimp! I wonder if it was some kind of micro plastic being released from the filter floss. Maybe you can thoroughly rinse the floss next time before adding it to the filter.
Oh nooo, that’s so unfortunate about the crystal reds :( They looked so good in an Iwagumi style tank, the colour contrast between these shrimp and the green of tank looks amazing! Oh and, will you be at Vivarium 2024 here in the Netherlands? :)
Decent looking iwagumi. I think it would look better without the gloss. I would’ve done the med sized hair grass in between the rocks and not the sides. The tall was good. And the mini everywhere else. I mean I’ve never done iwagumi either but looks good for your first time out of your comfort zone. Sad about the shrimps tho.
Mark, pls let us know if you rinsed the floss prior to introducing to the filter. And if so was it just cold water or did you wash the floss in hot water? I suppose some disinfectant (or residue during production be it petrol or clue) contaminated the media.
Sorry for your loss sir 🙏 😔 It happened with me also when i changed the filter floss of my outdoor pond 1 shrimp and platies Somehow immediately i got other shrimp inside the other bucket The comment section is also going with the same issue is something we all need to care of
I like the scape even if it isn't strictly Iragumi. I have two questions though which maybe you can answer for me so that my scapes will go a little better. At times when I've tried to get a little height to my substrate such as you've done here, the substrate slowly starts levelling itself until it is flat. What do you do to prevent it from happening? The other question has to do with your scape. Was it a "dry" scape, or did you put the water in right away after planting it? Because of the magic of video, and making cuts, it's often hard to know what goes on in the time between the cuts.
same happened to me, i replaced (some part) of old filter sponge on my HOB with new one and all my fish act bit weird but i dont think much abt it, i realize it too late 2 days later all my nerite died, all my fish hiding and laying in the gravel etc.. i think it about cycle crash probably. so many beneficial bacteria lost from that filter floss, tank imbalance, ammonia spike and all those stuff... it happened to me twitce actually, the first one i overclean my filter, my tank water turned milk white by the next day ( i cant see anything ), but fish are fine, but this one was long time ago... nowadays i simply dont mess too much with the filter
I freaked out when in the part where the shrimp acted strange.. who would've known that using a new filter floss would cause rhat much damage. Do you use co2 in that tank?
I have a killer test and video for your channel best way to remove nitrates with 3 different tanks all controlled, which 3 dense plants are most efficient choose guppy grass etc etc
Wij hadden EXACT hetzelfde met onze mooie grote waaierhand garnalen. Ook door die witte filterflos te vervangen uit een nieuwe zak. Echt super sip 😢. We hebben nog geprobeerd ze te verplaatsen naar een andere tank, maar dat hielp ook niet meer. Vissen lijken er helemaal niet aan te lijden. Echt alleen de garnalen
@@MJAquascaping Ik heb toevallig ook filter floss van Superfish, en ik heb nooit succes gehad met garnalen, terwijl het met vissen prima lukt... Misschien toeval, misschien ook niet...
@@halloketelHet is duidelijk dat Superfish de floss met iets 'behandeld" wat uitgespoeld moet worden voor garnalen. Uiteindelijk een erg leerzame video👍🙏
Ja ook van superfish… Mijn vermoeden is dat er een of ander neurotoxine inzit wat speciaal voor schaaldieren dus heel toxisch is nu ik jouw video heb gezien. Heb het niet meer geprobeerd, 5 waaierhanden verliezen was genoeg, maar ik vermoed dat vooraf uitspoelen niet voldoende helpt.
Taking a photo of a promising setup and then not being able to reproduce it in the tank again, I know the feeling. From the other comments I've gathered that the floss was from Superfish? I've been using small portions from a bag for over a year now, and I haven't had problems. At least, I don't think so. But then again, I am not keeping high grade shrimps. Very strange and very sad. Iwagumi is not my style either, for the exact same reasons. I love woodstructures, I love plants and classic Iwagumis mostly feel empty to me. But to each his own.
The same thing happened to me a few months back, and I lost a lot of fish. Lesson learned; Never buy materials from a hardware store; buy from a fish store only.
Hey MJ, eerder dit jaar gebeurde datzelfde bij een garnalenkwekerhier in de buurt. Wil je de volgende video delen welk merk dat was zodat dat niet meer mensen overkomt?
Juwel tanks are good and affordable. The only problem with the Helialux is that it does not come as standard with the tanks and becomes a relative expensive option, especially compared to the Chihiros Universal WRGB (if you can find them; I waited for several months for the 800 for the Juwel Rio 125).
Ugh about the shrimp. Am i wrong - I always thought iwugumi was supposed to use odd number of rocks i.e 3 or 5? Oh, well it's a lush planted tank regardless!
In my experience with them, it can take quite a while for them to really color up (from a few weeks to a few months) and I also think it's related to their age. They need to be grown up to get really red it seems
Thx for the reply! Yeah mine are totally different in sizes aswel. So could be they are not mature as you say. It wil be some nice couple of weeks/months to see them change.

Nice and simple. Are you using any CO2 for this scape? I love hairgrass, but I hate to trim it as the smaller leaves will be everywhere.
what do u feed ur fish to have them so vibrant?

Why my hygrophilla corymbosa has not broad leaves?
How to get broad leaves?
In your case I suggest to carefully increase the amount of fertilizers both macro and micro (I'd try one third more and wait for at least ten days).
Great material, thanks. 👍🍺😁
Wow, that's f'd. I'd contact the filter floss company and tell them. 😢
Sorry about the shrimp I think the scape looks great!
Oh goodness..i barely make it to your pinky hand's expertise..😂if you can see mine its chaotic lol😅😂
Shrimps are very sensitive to chemical changes... I once sprayed insecticide 5-6 meters from my aquarium and I noticed the shrimps acted crazy
Hi Mj sir I have faced the same incident with my shrimp tank. I don't know why they died....
Is Juwel a good brand? If so is Juwel Helialux light any good? Also Great channel MJ!
Juwel used to be a really prominent brand, at least here in Britain, pre led. I'd be interested to hear what people have to say about them now?
Juwel is definitely a very affordable brand, but I’ve never tested the Helialux so I can’t give you my opinion
Juwel tanks are good and affordable. The only problem with the Helialux is that it does not come as standard with the tanks and becomes a relative expensive option, especially compared to the Chihiros Universal WRGB (if you can find them; I waited for several months for the 800 for the Juwel Rio 125).
Chihiros Universal WRGB lights also work on Juwel tanks by the way, worth checking out.
Thats crazy what happened with the shrimp. How can you even prevent this in the future? That's so insane.
Honestly I'm not even sure how to prevent something like this from happening again...

Dit is niet iets voor mij beetje hout en verschillende planten, liefs ook verschillende kleuren vind ik mooier. Jeetje en dan die shrimps zo ineens dat is echt schrikken, je kan ook niks doen op dat moment.
It's a shame that the sub plot is getting more interest than the main storyline. I think you may have lost touch with 'minimalist' when you decided to use different types of grass. If you'd have stuck to one, the texture of the rocks would have been enhanced by the homogenity of the carpet. A very useful video though. Many thanks.

I don't want to sound pretentious, but to do Iwagumi one should know the Zen Philosophy. You just showed in the video that overthinking it made it even worse, but after a pause and a coffee you did it, making it look more natural and not overthought! This is the philosophy of Iwagumi 😊
Beautiful tank! Great job! So sad about the shrimps... who knows what was the problem!
