    Great looking tank - everything in balance and looking healthy.
    Lots of nice plant growth keeps nitrates down = less frequent water changes which is always a bonus.

    Have you thought of putting sponge filters in the tanks. They can save you a lot of money. I bought them a year ago from the Co Op , and they're great!

    • @TobyCreates
      @TobyCreates  2 года назад +5

      I have sponge filters in my quarantine tank and my shell dweller tank, and they work great for those purposes. However, in my opinion, I think that they can disturb the look of an aquascape and take up a good amount of space. They are great methods of filtration, but they don’t usually work for the kind of set ups I like to do

      I have sponge filters in all of my tanks, too. I use them along with other filters in the same tanks - they add great longevity to the biosphere not to mention infusoria for babies. Also instant cycling when you move them around to add to new tanks.

    • @TobyCreates

      Definitely, when it comes to smaller tanks, I don’t mind them being more temporary, but with a big planted tank I definitely think it’s nice to see it evolve over a longer lifespan

      I’ve never been a fan of Bow front aquarium as it distorts everything if you view it on an angle, do you find that?

    • @TobyCreates
      @TobyCreates  2 года назад

      I was a little worried about it, but unless I’m looking at a very specific angle, it’s not noticeable at all. The only time I really realize it is when I’m filming at an angle

    Toby, Great job on this video. What is that white "ZERO" or "O" on the front of the aquarium for? I have a 75 gallon aquarium currently and we are looking to downsize to a 39 gallon aquarium. I do like that it comes with an LED light too. Thank you again for such professionalism! Awesome!

    Thank you for sharing this tank. I want to upgrade to a 36 from a 20 Topfin tank. I love my tank, but want a nice size, not too big, not too small. I want to get some cichlids for the 36. I think you should try some cichlids too!!

    I bought this setup a year ago on the 1st of July for $129 on sale and I have loved it so far! I will say the top fin heater is not submersible which makes it harder to hide especially being silver. It died after about 4 months of use. I switched to a 300W aqueon submersible heater and haven't had any issues since. I do use the lid as I house Killifish that love to jump!

      @PhoenixRising2040 glad to hear. I just got this tank last week and saw all the bad reviews online. Does your tank have a rim at the top? Or is it rimless like in this video?

      @PhoenixRising2040 Месяц назад +1

      @alexanderr4475 mine has both rims, I personally wouldn't risk a rimless bow front, but I'm fairly inexperienced with tank holding capabilities, I'm about to rebuild a 90g I just acquired with bad seams but anxiety has prevented me from busting out the silicone 😅

    My stock heater does work good but it is ugly and they have temp readings on the side obviously just for looks and u just have to adjust and wait then get the temp…i have a side temp gauge that goes on the glass but I’ll probably upgrade the heater and the lid is a PAIN IN THE ARSE!
