    This video cracks me up. It's so vintage with an ASMR narration, but still contains good information. Heating cables! Brings me back to the early 90's.

    But thanks, because unlike most other vids, this answered my questions in the first minute. Good job!

    I have found that using at least three inches of substrate will drastically improve the health of the aquarium and thus the fish. Once I learned this I never had a fish become sick. New fish might come in sick, but not the established ones. I also would run a small uv light, five to ten watts.

    I have a 75 gallon tank sitting around. It has a huge pump and I want to get it up and running again. Last time we had a hair algae problem, I want to grow plants but I cant afford the heating cables and fancy minerals I need to grow them. They always grew fine for me, but got too big. This time I want to run a tank with just some Neon Tetra, and a Red Tailed Shark Minow. I would also appreciate some recommendation for underwater grass. That doesn't get too big. Something for the fish to swim around in. ( I have a pump, a heating staff, sand, and gravel to work with. That pretty much it. I just wanna keep neon Tetra and a Red Tailed shark since they're my favorite and I've had a red tailed shark for 4-5 years before he died, very hardy fish.)
