All My Tanks Update and Internal Sump Diagram

- The baby oscar developed the little circle spot near the tail fin. This is the usual oscar eye spot that is meant to confuse predators. It’s meant to sort of look like an eye in the tail. I suppose if a predator attacks the back fin thinking that’s the head, the oscar might have a chance to escape. I’m curious if the spot will turn red color in the future, like most other oscars.
The gold nugget pleco still hasn’t ventured away from the driftwood. I think I’ll get another pleco to clean the algae off the rocks and the glass.
The two umbrella cichlids are frozen b/c of the camera.
It turns out, the female is actually a male in disguise.
These umbrella cichlids, when there is a smaller male within the vicinity of a bigger male, the smaller male changes his color to look like a female to avoid the inevitable attack.
I’m not sure what I’m going to do here. Maybe get more dither fish. If any of you know if adding dither fish would work with these two males, please lemme know.
This is the current state of Loomster’s tank. He is also frozen b/c of the camera. Loomster was born in this tank as some of you might know, and he is 2 years old now. He was born in March of 2019. He first appeared in the 16th month update video.
The nerite snail has become part of this tank. The nerite was the oldest surviving member on this channel.
I think I’ll make an update of this tank next.
Kartoffel has lived in this tank for 2 years and 3 months. Recently he has gone through finrot a few times. It fully recovered, and then I moved. The finrot comes and goes these days. I’m too afraid to use medicine b/c something might go wrong. He’s doing ok for the time being. I’m thinking I might make him a more stable tank.
The volcano betta has eaten several tetras and countless shrimp. I didn’t know he was eating the tetras. I thought a few got lost underneath the volcano. Then one day, I saw the evidence. Way too many shrimp have climbed the volcano and then ended up on the lid. The monte carlo is doing ok, overall. There is some melting here and there. The java moss spread like wild fire in this tank. I’ve decided I’m gonna make him his own tank. A 5 gallon, or 20 liter tank. I already have decided on the design. I just gotta make it. The volacano tank is going to be shrimp and tetra only tank. I think I’ll also remove the lid after I remove the betta.
Sump diagram:

This is a very simple sump, except for the double overflow.
I designed this sump and had a guy in my local acrylic shop put it together. I’m pretty sure I could’ve done it myself, but I was also pretty sure I would’ve messed up at least once trying to glue the double overflow part.
The entire sump’s measurements were depended on the pump’s width and the height of the heater.
My initial plan was to wrap the entire back wall and the sump with a background, but the background arrived very late. I suppose if I were to do it again, I probably would’ve used black acrylic or maybe black foemax sheets. However, black acrylic sometimes can be reflective depending on the setup. There are fish that do not do well with reflective black acrylic, such as flowerhorns or bettas.
Basically, this internal sump was made to function just like a real sump with a double overflow. The advantage of this internal sump is that there actually is an overflow that skims the surface of the water so the surface is always very clean. The double layered overflow also sucks the water from the bottom of the tank. Another advantage is that b/c this is a real sump, the water level in the display part of the tank never changes. When there’s an evaporation, only the last chamber of the sump’s water level drops, not the main display part of the tank. That can also be the downside of this kind of setup, but b/c this tank has a lid, the evaporation is minimal. I haven’t had to add any water for over 2 weeks in this tank. So if you’re gonna try something like this, a lid is a must, or an automatic top off in the last chamber where the pump is, if you don’t want to have a lid.

And for almost four minutes, everything was fine.
😂😂😂😂hahaha
If this ain’t the truth
:')
This is great comment. 👍🏻 Thank you.
I switched to indica. Much better now
Loomster is already 2 years old, ahhh time flies. Its been a pleasure and privilege to follow your adventures my little "virtual" buddy. I wish you many more years to come.
Its kind enough to make a grown man cry
Already? Man... Time sure flies.
*shows scene of baby loomster*
He is not virtual
You said it
“Kartoffle is mad at the camera”
Classic Kartoffle .
Kartoffel it’s KARTOFFEL K A R T O F F E L
@@Name-dw7ix картофел?
@@Name-dw7ix u german too?
The actual male fish: I've been bamboozled and played like a damn fiddle.
I saw something with (I think it was) cuttlefish recently where a male was showing male colors to the ladies on his left, and female colors to the males on his right so they wouldn't attack him for getting close to the girls.
Fascinating
@@icestationzebraassociates2460 oh I've seen that one too. The smaller male cuttlefish was mimicking the colouration of a female cuttlefish so he won't be attacked by the larger & more aggressive male while mating with the female. The true winner is the female that's been receiving all the "good" genes (brawn and brain) from all the males.
He got trap'd son
Trap fish.
Nature you crazy
Life........finds a way 😆
Never thought I would be so emotionally attached to fish
especially to the one on RUclips
The Return of the Peaceful Fish Shepard
Edit: Cannot hear Clair De Lune without thinking of your fishys
Same, I keep hearing it in shows and other videos and I'm like, "That's the fish song!"
@@ValentineWiggen i do the exact same thing 😄 always calms me a little to hear this beautiful melody.
@Ryan Tran then just pretend they said "this arrangement" instead of the wrong official name 😄 I get that artistic integrity is important, of course - just a lil joke ;P
@Ryan Tran but Debussy is a favorite on these videos as well.
Awww, "The Peaceful Fish Shepard", I like that and he very much is. I love his videos and I always feel so at peace while watching them and listening to the beautiful classical music that plays along with them.
“The nerite became part of the tank” Took a while for me to realize what it meant. I thought the nerite was just transferred into the tank or something lol
Ohhh I didn't even realize until I read this.
Same
I need a dress that looks like Kartoffel
You should do a 24/7 live stream of the shrimp tank with lofi music
That's a great idea!!!
I would pay monthly for that
That would be amazing
I would pay for it too
Up
Was gonna go to bed but this was more important than anything.
I couldn't AGREE MORE !!!
Let me appreciate my 4 minutes of peace
And now i'm back to reality
You mean 3 minutes and 44 seconds of peace?
@@ThatOneMalaysianGuy 4 minutes, i rewound some parts of the video lol
I must say Loomster tank has had the most family drama
I just discovered this channel yesterday so I could be totally ignorant, but for me it's that volcano tank! *spoilers ahead*
Dante eating the cherry shrimp, Dante's passing, shrimp passing when they try to escape the tank, then the explosion of snails and subsequent bombing of the tank, then a new betta who's eating all the shrimp! My world has been rocked
@@soulofcoral yeah I do agree but I really am talking about “family drama”
First we have 4, 3 males one female. 2 starting pairing then they try to kill each other. The two get baby’s. Those babies don’t get along anymore and need to be separated by gender. Then there’s the male who is actually a female. They start mating.... then we have loomster as soul survivors
My world just stop.. My mind went to blank just staring on the fish tank.. Lovely...
Same 😌
They all have gorgeous homes.
I love how all your tanks are so full of plants and life
I am not a fish person nor an aquarium enthusiast, but I love this peaceful channel and these videos. Thanks, Foo Daddy, for giving us the place of calm and beauty.
I've just discovered these videos recently but they're so wholesome it makes my day everytime
Press F for a moment of silence to the now deceased Nerite.
Our guy Loomster has lived a very chaotic life! Cheers to the many years to come 🥂
I don’t care how bad your day sucked these videos will help calm you down no matter what. Could watch for hours!
Because of your videos I've started learning how to play gymnopedie on the piano
I stumbled across it on guitar and learned it years ago, I was super surprised when I heard it here. It felt like a clash of the 2 things I love the most.
The only thing that has brought me joy the last year is your videos, thank you so much
Happy birth-month, Loomster! 💜🎂💕
I cant even begin to explain the pure peace and happiness I felt for almost 4 minutes. Your videos never fail to make my day
Just want to let you know that your channel is the reason I am now a proud fish owner. Thanks for the awesome and relaxing content!
This is not Clair de lune this is the 1st Gymnopedie by Eric Satie
How
@@phillipmorgan4260 look up the 1st Gymnopedie. I played this song for solo and ensemble
Yeah he uses clair de lune in other videos so he must have mixed them up
@@grantpalm6282 or he is doing a mix of both
@@phillipmorgan4260 Wh, what do you mean how??
1:33 here we go my Kartofel. I miss him so bad
Nobody:
Me crying looking at baby loomster 😭👑
I didn’t even recognize Kartoffel! He’s so big now..
Rest in peace precious nerite
🐌♥
I was thinking an hour ago why arent you uploading yet, then when I checked again the YT. Here you go 🥰
When predators find the Oscar's eye in the tail: *These are confusing times*
Thank you for the update! I wanted to say, some of your previous videos where you showed that sump were super useful to me when making a refugium for my saltwater tank recently. It helped a lot. Thank you!
thank you for posting. with college admission results coming out, and the end of winter quarter work befalling upon me, this has brought great comfort and relaxation to times of stress and anxiety.
I love how much care you put into your tank. Thank you for such a relaxing video! 🧡

Today was hell, I needed this dose of adorability
Whatever you are doing with your videos it works as an anxiety medicine for me. Keep them coming please 🥰
Thank you for sharing your beautiful friends with us. It's so lovely to see you just methodically taking care of them.
I love how calming your videos are ❤️
Kartoffel is one of my favorite fish on RUclips ❤️can’t imagine how sad it will be when it’s his time to swim free ☁️
Very much enjoy watching your channel. Looking forward to you and your fish family's future endeavors.
I found this channel years ago. It's like a bit of Eden. Thank you!
ah yes gymnopedie my old friend....I learned this song on guitar a few years ago and I had never heard it anywhere else until I saw your videos, it makes me appreciate them even more.
thank you for the update! glad everyone is doing great! i just found out that my betta i got is 2 years old and is so sassy! I love them! Keep up the great work!
Ty bro, you saved my night with these 4 min of peace, big fan from Brazil 🇧🇷
hey man, just wanted to thank you for making these videos! i found ur channel about 2 months ago, and about a month ago i set up my first ever tank, now i have shrimps, 2 chocolate gouramis and Schumacher the nerite as my new aquatic friends :D
Whenever Kartoffel acts mad, he resembles an angry kitten: puffy, fluffy and cute 🤣😍
So happy to see everyone's doing well :D I'm new to this channel but I've binged nearly every video and I'm gonna try keeping some aquatic plants soon. Thanks for the cute relaxing content
Love this content. It gives me the same feeling I get when I'm sitting in my favorite chair on a rainy day with a cup of tea. Relaxing and cathartic indeed!
This is the best channel ever, I’m so glad I found this. So relaxing and interesting at the same time. Makes me want to have an aquarium like these. Already started researching and planning :)
I love how calming your videos are
Thank you for sharing! Your videos of your nano tanks are inspiring.
Thanks for the update on all the friends! ♥️
Thanks for the tank updates I hope you're all doing well 🙏🏼 Time really flies
Can’t believe how long I’ve followed your channel. Congrats!
I really appropriate all the time an effort you put in to these videos❤
Gorgeous fish. Thank you for sharing and giving me a few moments of peace
Wow! Evolution of the Volcano tank, cool change up of the plants 👍
These videos make me feel so happy and safe like everything will be okay
So many beautiful fish! Thank you for your efforts!
Loomster ! ! so good to see the lil fella again! He's looking so well now and he's so brave for the camera. Nothing like a year ago. Proud of my lil guy
When there is a new video of yours, my day is saved.
Happy Birthday month Loomster. Thank you for your videos... I play them every night, they are so calming...
I love your channel! It is so relaxing to watch this.
My walstad tank turns one year next week. Wouldn't have started without your inspiration. Thank you :)
Your videos are a breath of fresh air
big fan here. I started at the hobby bc of you back in 2018. thank you
The videos are sooooo satisfying!!! Ughhh, more idle and simple videos 😍
I wish four minutes would turn into four hours of this
Can always count on you to brighten up the day
Thank you for sharing your fish with us. Loomster is already two years old huh... Watching you maintain that tank is always so calming.
Kartoffel is, as usual, quite the character, and his coloration is gorgeous as always.
The water level never dropping in the display of the last tank is very neat. A well designed tank for sure.
Bless all your sassy fish and Happy Birthday Loomster 💫💝
Your videos are so relaxing and awesome your dedication is amazing keep up the great work
Woah I cannot believe what used to be the potato tank is now two years old. That’s when I first found your channel. Now I have a bunch of thriving live plants in my tanks cause you inspired me to try
It feels as if everything stops around you as you watch these videos
that architecture/design is brilliant!
Gosh I love your videos so much. Thank you
Beautiful tanks and very clever sump.
Happy 2nd birthday to Loomster! Great video as always.
I love your videos, they put a smile on my face. I can't believe I've been here for so many years already. I didn't even recognize Kartoffel at first! He looks different now, maybe it was jsut the lighting. Since Kartoffel and Loomster have been in the same tank for so long I kinda feel like they deserve a tank make over? To mix things up a bit for them. Idk if that would be too stressful for the fish though, and probably a lot of work too. Anyway I enjoy your videos a lot
I love these videos so much. So relaxing 🙂
I really like watching your videos
It's so relaxing💕
Wonderful to see from everyone! Great work :)
This is amazing. This video is like a recap of all the fishy adventures we've had so far, with like various fish heroes.
Very cool to include the schematics at the end for people extra curious about how it works.
We need more of this, love this video bro keep it up
Aww kartoffle looks so different! I never really realized he was that color!
Good work, hope you keep on posting updates.
