  • Todays challenge was taking the old sitting forest aquarium and turning it into a functional aquarium again! This time I decided to try out a blackwater tank... Adding botanicals like Indian Almond leaves will turn the water an orange color,. These "tannins" are large organic molecules that not only alter the aesthetic of your tank, but have beneficial properties for your fish and other inhabitants as well!

      What happened to the Dario??? I just scrolled through all the videos for an update after watching the no food for 6 months and found this 😡

    I remember when you first set that tank up. It was fabulous!
    I'm liking the start of this blackwater tank too. Looking forward to updates after the move. Or before...

    Nice trial tank, gives me fantasy landscape vibes.
    I think a Blackwater tank would look great with a really thick emersed setup up top.
    Can't wait to see all your tanks after the move

    Depending on your pH, you're not gonna have bb growth anyways and the vast majority of ammonia will be ammonium.

    Hi! I've been in your channel for a while and I found your videos informative. that's why I'm going to ask a question for my 75 gallon tank: is Acoustic foam safe for aquarium fish? and How many liters of sand would it take to cover the base of my tank (2 inches)? Hopefully you respond!

    I always use almond leaves in my Betta tanks, but I have to change it weekly since they develop fungus after a week, are you going to change the leaves or what should we do for them to last longer.

    • @doubled9789

      Soak it overnight, rinse and sun dried the leaves before use it for your Betta tanks...

    side question, wich moss would stay attached more, or at lesst dosnt deattach itself,
    it happened with most i try, the onyl one still in a big ball is java, but is been 4 5 months, on low tech
    but in high, nothing stays, they grow big and then flow around

      @AQUAPROS  2 года назад +1

      Hard to say, I mostly use Christmas moss, seems to do pretty good, not perfect tho. More about how you attach it rather than the species

    Hey friend- I'm concerned those "spiky cones" are a very unhealthy add. I wanted to use them once -so cool looking- but the Internet universally said not to because of oils and gunk in this type of pods. I could be wrong but...

    • @shannarafryer3111
      @shannarafryer3111 Год назад +1

      It’s very common to use them in aquariums. Most likely you have to boil them, remove the boiled water then add them in (that’s assuming the oil thing is true for those pods in particular) they are most likely casuarina

    • @LushSaltyAquariums

      To be clear: I do use Alder cones. Everone does - just not the spiked ball seed pods. Which are you referring to?
