I have always found the audio quality for the speaking parts fine (certainly better than most video makers) in your videos but I'm personally not a fan of a backing track over informational videos. Good one, man.
I have E. Tenellus in my planted 20-long. Substrate is eco-complete, and the tenellus is far and away the most successful plant in that tank -- it's sending runners everywhere. BTW, I thought the audio in this video was just fine.
I just started watching you and I find you are very informative. For some reason I didn't know you could put "soil" in an aquarium and no one in fish stores ever suggested it. I would very much like to try this! Question: I noticed you had a lot of snails in you 15 gal. and noticed some in the big one behind you. How do you deal with that? I.e. Get rid of them, or cut down the population? And aren't they a carrier of "ick"? I've never had any luck with plants in an aquarium, so now I guess I know why! And finding them at a resonable price has always been an issue.
Just bought a narrow leaf chain sword plant for my 20 gallon. I got talked out of a dwarf sag. 😬 I’ve got Activ Flora substrate and no CO2. Hope it works out.
I have dwarf sag sub and so far I like them, though I think I'll also have to look into finding some chain swords too, variety in the tank will look good. Thinking the lab with your tank in the background is cool. Maybe setup in front of different tank every so often, cool also, but yeah like the time you spent setting up your background. Thanks for the info! :-)
I hate to post a question on here but I cant seem to find any active forums with people who actually know what they're talking about. My question: I have an 11 day old (since I put fish in) 55 gal aquarium and I'm not sure if it has cycled/is cycling properly. It would probably be considered overstocked at this point in time as it has 30 fish in it most are barbs and tetras or ther relatively juvenile/teenage fish but it also has a variety of live plants and smaller pieces of driftwood. I test it almost everyday using api liquid testers. For the last week or so it went through a nitrite spike that peaked at about 3.0ppm then it rapidly decreased to approx. 0.25 ppm and has remained stationary for the last few days. The strange thing is that I never saw the ammonia spike it has always read 0.0 and the nitrates were remaining 5.0ppm but now are at 0.0 as well. Is this normal because I'm not sure as to what steps to take next if any are necessary. I had the majority of the other fish I a 29 gal tank but it had a persisitent cloud to it so I had to drain it andchanged the substrate to sand so its now newer than my 55. I started the 55 on Dec. 24th using api quick start stress coat and stress zyme as the api website recommended.
i just started watching ur video.i got the info.from watching MASTER AQUATICS.video.i want to start to put a few plants in my tanks i wanted to no if u's carry water lettuce pistia.cos i want to get two or three of them an some other plants that u named in a video that i watched.let me no so i cud start oredering im new to this so help me out.thank you.have a blessed day
I’m just a beginner fish keeper and I want to try having live plants for the first time, can you recommend some plants that are easy to grow (doesn’t require co2 or specific or high lighting and that are hardy)?
Love the new set-up. Perhaps you could lower the music volume a little bit relative to your voice? It's not bad, but it was approaching distracting. Love your videos man! Glad to see you're getting back into it :).
Yeah those are some crazy plants they grow anywhere. I took a peace of lava rock I had on top of one that had a hole that I was using as a cave and when I took it out there were 2 plants in the hole. I have both plants in my tank.
Really enjoy your videos, they are very informative, and although I initially thought the music you overlay was strange, I decided it was fun & added to it.
Good to see ya back at it :)
+Aquarium Co-Op Thanks Cory! :D

Good one, man.
Thanks for the input Richard, cheers :D
No worries, man - you make better presented videos than me, lol
+Pondguru Outdoors Richard! Dont sell yourself short!!!!!
I love the appearance of quadricostatus, I like the rosette growth.
They are the poor man’s Blyxa japonica
8:33 the chain sword: "Parkour!"
Great video! I love the chain sword, I'm trying to decide which one to get and this helped a lot.. its much appreciated! Thanks for sharing!
Great review! Very informative! I'll have to take a serious look at it. As a new possible addition to my planted tank!
I think it sounds great where you're filming now. Great video! Love the plant profile!

Changes are pretty good👌👌

+Xero Nox Thanks! Medium light and co2!
Enjoyed watching! Thank you for sharing!
What type of light ,substrate , and what type tank preferred ?
Will it thrive in black diamond sand capped with pool filter sand?
good tips thanks for sharing looking forward to the next video
What's the tiny plant name of the carpet plant there in the middle
Whats the plant @1:05 down in front middle? please identify anyone. Great vid btw! Do you have any vids on growing Brazilian Pennywort?
Staurogyne repens
Like!
You’re beautiful. We like your face 😁
ramshorn snail ate all my new chain sword leaves
What kind of soil substrate are you using? Do you put it on the bottom layer or the top layer?
+Moon Leah organic potting soil, brand this time was vigro. bottom layer only!
Whats the plant at like nine minutes
Thanks for the video. I was sold a Pygmy Sword but after watching this, I would bet money I have a Broad Leaf Chain Sword. I like the Broad Leaf more.
How do you clean that tank?
I have dwarf sag sub and so far I like them, though I think I'll also have to look into finding some chain swords too, variety in the tank will look good.

+toycar foushboy Thanks a lot for the input, really appreciate you taking the time!

Can I put soil from my backyard in my first planted tank?
Ranjzh Rene Elijah A. Alenain definetly not
Yes it can 👍don't listen to the other guy
that's my question also. what is soil? is it peat moss or loam or leaf compost or all 3 mixed together?
You can, as long as there's no fertilizers
blyxa japonica vs broadleaf chain sword? I'm new to the carpet plants. I'll be using sand and root tabs. might add Eco Complete as well.

Thank you for adding the PH values for the water environment. My biggest issue is knowing what environment is best for the fish/ shrimp I want.
10-4 on the growth rate on the chain sword. Its rediculously fast!
No basis for comparison, but what's it matter; it's good. Thanks
I’m just a beginner fish keeper and I want to try having live plants for the first time, can you recommend some plants that are easy to grow (doesn’t require co2 or specific or high lighting and that are hardy)?
Plants growing too much, getting too big, sounds like a good problem to have. :)
Formats good, audios good... good vid
+Monkey Nut Thanks for lettin me know! Appreciate ya!
I really like plant profile videos. Keep them coming 😀
Format is terrific and I have learned a lot
Thank you keep them coming
What is the giant sword at 3:00? The one with the enormous leaves on the long stems?
I'm late, liked the "new" format.
do top 15 fish for a planted aquarium
your videos are awesome
+Ashutosh Saini Thanks! You're awesome!
Love the new set-up. Perhaps you could lower the music volume a little bit relative to your voice? It's not bad, but it was approaching distracting. Love your videos man! Glad to see you're getting back into it :).
+Jordan Clark Thanks Jordan! Appreciate the input! :D
👍
What substrate is used at 9:33??
Yeah those are some crazy plants they grow anywhere. I took a peace of lava rock I had on top of one that had a hole that I was using as a cave and when I took it out there were 2 plants in the hole. I have both plants in my tank.
+Ruben Haha ya they are some insane plants for sure! Thanks for watching Ruben !!!
Really enjoy your videos, they are very informative, and although I initially thought the music you overlay was strange, I decided it was fun & added to it.
+Jeff Tallon Thanks for taking the time Jeff, glad you liked it :D
