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.
It has been 40 years since I have had an aquarium. I found this video to be VERY helpful in setting up a "live" tank. Using a heating cable was a new one on me.
Interesting video on how to set up a tropical aquarium. My dad had one for many years. I am considering to set up a tropical aquarium with my husband but maybe without the live plants for now.
I had one spot available. Bit it is in direct sunlight, near the TV and right on top of an electrical socket. I guess I'll find another hobby. But thanks, because unlike most other vids, this answered my questions in the first minute. Good job!
I think this needed a disclaimer at the beginning warning viewers that this is a tutorial for an advanced planted tank set up. I love my planted tank but this is enough to make me run for the hills even if most of it is pretty good advice.
this is common, this is a biological bloom known as new tank syndrome, just let it settle on its own, this can last up to 2 weeks, whatever you do dont change any water this will prolong the cloudyness, hope this helps
great video! With the lead recycling thing I highly doubt most retailers will responsibly recycle it. Might as well do it yourself, maybe smaller businesses will
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.
AAA this is so helpful thank you!! I haven't been allowed to get a mouse because they're "too high maintenance", so I've been told to get fish instead. fiSH ARE WAY MORE COMPLICATED. AAAH.
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.)
When my dad got me my fish he put this liquid in the tank which keeps the water fresh and he fist put the wire win which connects to the filter then afterwards he put the gravel over the wire and then fill it up with water then that liquid then your done Jobs done ✅
live in a spa town and we have a natural spring. water filters through the earth and comes up to a fountain it is very soft and pure.it has been for 1000s of years. is it good for an aquarium
Would you please tell me ..how many hours should i keep heating this cabel per day... should i shwitch it off. Or should i keep it in on continously postion hole day...
Wow, they do REALLY complicated set ups in Britain I guess. I don't use half this stuff, yet my tank has a healthy plant, and fish. Each to their own I guess!
Hey sir , can we use artificial turf inside aquarium tank or it can give harm to fish skin? Secondly can we use RO water in place of tap water for a fishes?
Never use double sided sticky tape for backgrounds..... Its better to wet the back of the tank and lay the background down then scrape it with a card to get air bubbles out. It looks way better that way
Martin Welters looks like late 90s the basics were covered more than adequately, best methodology is subjective. There's hundreds of different schools of thought and methodologies out there and everyone thinks they know best. Long story short... there is no objective best way
During the CO2 portion of the video (~11:30-12:00 min mark) there is some type of a connector for the CO2 and water pump. This connector is used to disperse the CO2 via the pump. What is it called? I can't seem to find it with any searches.
Is it ok to plant new plants in my already set up tank with substrate additives underneath sand that has been running for a few weeks? Or will I risk the additives leaking out into the water?
I'm looking to breed shrimp. I purchased a 10 gallon online along with a filter, liquid co2 java moss and some lights. I also have an air bubbler and fish food left over along with good substrate. I have my tank and my shrimp come in the mail TOMORROW but because of the way the mailroom works at my college I can't get the substrate, filter, co2 or java moss for another 4 days after my shrimp arive. Is it okay to leave them how I got them for that time?? Or should I try to introduce them to tap water? I purchased a litter of beta water just in case. Btw I have 30 shrimp on the way. Even if I just separate half and save them what do I do!! Please help me
can you help pls, cant get proper mat (between tank and base ) poly/carb packing will work but have the same supply prob. tank is a four footer,what else can I use ??????

i dont even have a fish tank and i dont intend on buying one... but this video is so nice and soothing.....
I have never found a comprehensive set up guide like this.
I wish I knew how to save a video. This is so excellent. Better than a book.
i really love that sims 1 was involved here.
Very thorough, very carefully put together, well thought out as it covers all basic essentials.
Think I’ve already watched this 5 times but it’s so good!
Thanks for the informative and easy to follow instructions 😀 👍👍

Best vid I've ever watched so far. Thanks for the infos!
Cool video Rob
Nice and Knowledgeable Video...!! :)
Lol why is this under comedy! Easily the best tutorial on the tube!
this is common, this is a biological bloom known as new tank syndrome, just let it settle on its own, this can last up to 2 weeks, whatever you do dont change any water this will prolong the cloudyness, hope this helps
great video! With the lead recycling thing I highly doubt most retailers will responsibly recycle it. Might as well do it yourself, maybe smaller businesses will
these two videos are so technical... it feels like setting up an planted aquarium is quiet a tough job.
but.. i will still do it.
finally a british made tutorial - no nonsense.
very well made. I needed it. thank you.
Only good video on RUclips for set up lol 💯💯💯
mind is blown by this
this is the best thing ever
This is brilliant. I love all the details and explaining how and why. Thank you so much. :-)
great and informative video thanks

Awesome explanation
Some great tips and useful facts thank you
Absolutely wonderful video. I hate English people , butt you guys are so perfect. Very educational.
Beautiful!! Wao what great info i love it!!! Happy holidays!!! I need one for my kids they love fishes !
beautiful. I plan on doing a 30 gallon planted tropical community

I love that he even puts rocks on a spinner, this dude thought of it all
👋 your awesome.
Thank you sooooooo much for sharing information
very helpful video, thanks for the upload!!
4 inches of substrate? My man Dustin said 2 is enough. I'm confused.
Probably because it has a heater cable under it.
I think some plants need, or might do better in deeper substrate.
Thanks
siva kumar You're welcome.
The aquarium store that I go to sold me two plants that are not to be pushed into the substrate. I had never heard of that before.
This video helps me alot , i watch the whole thing lol
good video but im not sure if i need to install the substrate heating cables but it sounds right
Tony Scimeca it’s the old style people did before modern tank heaters. These ones are not very safe and impossible to find nowadays.
The cories should have a sand substrate so they don't damage their barbells :)
Kat Brennan I have mine in gravel
Super informative video.
what this taught me is that i need a professional for setup
When my dad got me my fish he put this liquid in the tank which keeps the water fresh and he fist put the wire win which connects to the filter then afterwards he put the gravel over the wire and then fill it up with water then that liquid then your done Jobs done ✅
This is relaxing to listen to
live in a spa town and we have a natural spring. water filters through the earth and comes up to a fountain it is very soft and pure.it has been for 1000s of years. is it good for an aquarium
BEST VIDEO BY FAR, but what happened to part 2??
Very informative
Would you please tell me ..how many hours should i keep heating this cabel per day... should i shwitch it off. Or should i keep it in on continously postion hole day...
My sister has two fish in my aquarium and she says it's our aquarium but I do all the cleaning and the water changes and testing the water
wtf?
I know right!!
well its your aquarium
Don't argue with her let her think its hers also , your the one who's gaining experience and knowledge , shes not
Yea but who bought it
Thank you for such an informative video.
What a great video!
very informative. thanks
or instead of leaving the wood in water for a long time you can boil it for a shorter time period
Wow, they do REALLY complicated set ups in Britain I guess. I don't use half this stuff, yet my tank has a healthy plant, and fish. Each to their own I guess!
In this DVD :O When was the last time I heard that
Very informative video. Thank you.
Hey sir , can we use artificial turf inside aquarium tank or it can give harm to fish skin?
Secondly can we use RO water in place of tap water for a fishes?
Thanks for the video. Do you have to do water change during fish less cycle?
Watching this has definetly put me off getting fish. Very clear video though!
Why
I have a 300 ltr tank with just gravel can I use potted plants in it or would it be best to empty the tank and start again .
very good
Mother Nature takes care of all
Never use double sided sticky tape for backgrounds..... Its better to wet the back of the tank and lay the background down then scrape it with a card to get air bubbles out. It looks way better that way
. Nice
Your new subscriber.
#.beautifull tank...
I live in the West Indies so I just use natural river bed no filter,no pumps
Nice !
How do you clean the aquarium ?
Do we need to remove all from the tank ?
To B Orio: You got the spelling right. I liked "detritus". You don't get to use that word often.
When did they make this video?..... 1970?
There are so much more and better ways to setup your aquarium now a days.
Martin Welters looks like late 90s the basics were covered more than adequately, best methodology is subjective. There's hundreds of different schools of thought and methodologies out there and everyone thinks they know best. Long story short... there is no objective best way
They made it four years ago 😆
Malayali😁♥️
I live just above the equator, i wouldn't need the heating cable right?
Well ,most important question,how often you have to water your plants?
Lol
What clear plastic paint did you use to seal the wood
very helpful, thanks
what is the product name of the nitrite powder and bacteria that you used in your aquarium?
Nice
What should you do with your fish while the 24 hrs?
Btw, what's the formula for that sugar + yeast thing for CO2?
Instructions unclear fish drowned
Aye Xany have you tried to disconnect and connect it ?
Have you tired to reset it?
You're all dumb, just replace the batteries
What do fish drink?
Fish CAN drown if the water doesn't have oxigen tho...
Excellent tutorial. But it's cut off at the end. Is there a part 2?
yes
During the CO2 portion of the video (~11:30-12:00 min mark) there is some type of a connector for the CO2 and water pump. This connector is used to disperse the CO2 via the pump. What is it called? I can't seem to find it with any searches.
Nice ending
I like it thanks

What Plastic paint did you use? I'm having trouble finding it. All I find is canned Spray paint. Please this would help a lot!
Okay I did everything in the video but fishes don't seem to appear. Anyone know how to create fish? Please I need the end of the video.
the relaxing voice put me to sleep! Zzz

can you help pls, cant get proper mat (between tank and base ) poly/carb packing will work but have the same supply prob. tank is a four footer,what else can I use ??????
do you turn youre heater off when adding stuff and filter?
Out of curiosity, why was there a fish in the bucket with the bogwood?
good....
