HOW TO setup a 20 Gallon Planted Aquarium 🌱🌿💧 Substrate and Supplies
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- Since my previous tank cracked and was leaking.. I decided to go ahead and buy a new one. The tank that I got was the Aqueon 20 gallon tall and was pretty much the same exact tank size I had previously. The only difference is the black finish on the rim vs the previous brown one. I really wanted a rimless tank like my aquastyle 5 gal...BUT those tanks tend to cost a lot more. I decided to go for the cheapest option. Below I will list all the supplies I use in the tank (besides the plants).

"Because you spent all your money on fish supplies and not shoes and clothes"
Truer words have never been spoken! I just superglued the sole of my shoe back on and spent $80 on fish and supplies for my son's tank. Priorities, right? 🤣
I would do the same thing....
i realize I am pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch new series online?
Me: I’m just gonna get me a 10 gallon tank with some live plants for only $100
Me 2 weeks later:(sitting on floor in empty apartment with just a few towels for a bed, staring at a $1500 100 gallon tank setup) worth it.
vicma praur lol
Insane
yeahh thats me... im trying to stop from doing that right now lmao
Totally understand being broke lol, got a betta from Wal-Mart from those small cups. Put him in a gallon bowl then I felt bad when i looked at him being in something so small. Now he is going in a 20 gallon tank with live plants, fake plants, decorations, Gravel, filter and so on. All for him lol his name is sapphire
I find tank mates are efficient I have a 20 Gallon with 2 Ballon mollies, with 6 Tetras, and 2 Mystery Snails. They all love each other.
I would recommend not using fake plants unless they are fabric. The sharp edges on the plastic ones can cut their fins
That’s amazing!! Lucky Fishy! And it’s so sweet that you decided to transfer, most betta parents won’t. 💕
Does he have a heater?
Yeaaaahh no bowls for fish ever!
I’m starting to get addicted with my aquarium hobby and I’m so related with your poor and broke thing! It makes me laugh everytime you mentioned them. Haha!
"It's made my wallet kinda sad."
I have 3 tanks plus a dog with food allergies and I feel that so much 😂
I have 2 tanks, 3 dogs..one of which has a disease which is treated with medicine that costs $160/month plus other daily meds. 😅😅
Haha I can feel you I have one tank,pair of cockatiels, a dog and a rabbit😆😆🙋♀️planning to add one more tank
I have 1 betta tank and a boxer with skin and food allergies who requires expensive food and shampoo for her skin. Plus, she gets a pro & prebiotic every morning as well as Claritin, then at night she gets apoquil (60 bucks a months 😔) and 2 benadryl because the apoquil apparently isn't strong enough to help her fully. 🤦🤦 On top of that, she often licks her paws until they are raw and yeast filled so she gets prescribed chlorhexidine blue soap for her paws and chin. Don't even get me started on the freaking ear medicine she's prescribed because the allergies make her itchy so she scratched her ears and gives herself bacterial ear infections all the time 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 basically, boxers are SO cute and SO sweet, but don't get them because they are known for skin issues 😂
More insanity
I thought you did an amazing job taking me thru the steps and the end result was breath taking
Banana does a great job as "tank inspector/supervisor" - amazing how calm she is interested in what is going on! Tank looks like it will be awesome!!!
I love how bright and clean your tank is. I love the setup. It’s my favorite on RUclips. The lush green plants are really pretty
Looks beautiful. And Banana has such soulful eyes
Thats a true fish keeper , plenty of times i have spent all my money on my fish hobby . looks amazing
My same situation. I’m a 17 year old fish keeper, I have two black moors and I keep them in a tub with a filter and aeration. I have them for more than a year now. They are doing pretty good and healthy with a big space, but I really want to keep them in a 50-70 gallon tank which I couldn’t afford since I’m just a student and I’m too shy to ask for money to my parents. So here I am telling myself to finish school and have a decent job first so I can afford my dream tank. Loool
Do you have any snails to put in the tank? I know Ramshorn snails eat algae and kinda help clean the tank from whatever leftovers as well. Perhaps i could suggest getting a few variety of snails. One of each kind so they don't breed and overload the tank. Just my thoughts. Love your vids btw :)
Jozanto Aung With Malaysian Trumpet Snails, it only takes one ... and too much food 😂
It all looks simple yet beautiful
My broke ass is still saving up for that damn siphon water changing hose 🥺😭 LOL. for now i guess im going to keep breaking my damn arms and back filling and emptying buckets fml, hahahaah.
my betta fish died last night, his name was tuna, i came back from the store with some exiting new tank items, and he wasent doing well, i cried for 1 hour.. so sad
Владимир пушкин
Such a cutie you are
So vrry sorry to hear that :(
May I just say here, it might have happened due to water imbalance.. And if I also may ask you, do you use normal tap water for betta or R.O. water..
I can help.. So that any fishkeeper never cries but just enjoy"s his/her hobby
It’s a fish......
Sorry...
Sorry to hear that
Your dog is so cute!!
Thank you
I just looked at this tank today and really liked the the size and shape of it. I'm going to be getting this for the house and kids. My wife and I grew up with fish our entire life and we would rather have kids enjoying and watching the fish more and Tv less. I'll be watching this video a few more times and the rest of your vids for a refer course in this hobby
Wow! That's looking really nice. I love the mix of plants and contrast of colors between the stones, the sand and the plants.
I bought the python with 20 ft. Extension last year. Best tool ever.
Aquarium coop has some awesome root tabs
Me starting off with a $50 set up that works fine, then slowly adding things until it drains my wallet completely 😭
It was really helpful for a beginner ! Sending my wave to the tank inspector and you all the way from the philippines! ❣️ Thank you!
Love your tank it’s beautiful. And your dog is super cute. Great video
This is exactly the video I needed as I will be getting a 20 or 29 gallon soon!
The tank is awesome
I love my Python too, but, it broke after using it for a little more than a year. Love it so much I bought a new one... It does get heavy use in my house. Your dog is beautiful.
What a cute inspector 😂 love ur video
Love the video! Also banana is adorable💕
I’m have the same 20 gallon tall, same brand too. I’m planning on doing a planted tetra and Cory catfish tank. This is really helpful.
And I’m also using the fluorite sand. I don’t have the tank all ready yet but I have two bags of black fluorite sand in my closet
This video is very helpful I just got my first aquarium and yet I know why you mention being broke and poor and I don't even have fishes for now thanks for the video really good advice there !!!
Found your channel today and subscribed to it today 👍 😊
Love the Tank Inspector - would love to see his/her report.
🤣😋
I’m prepping a 20 up because the Java Ferns that I got a year and a half ago are overcrowding the 5 gallon that I originally put it in. I’m planning on stocking it with some guppies and cories, I’m actually hoping I can eventually breed the Corys so I can up my population of them.
Looks great! Your plants are looking so healthy.
Lifewithpets love your videos so much
Lifewithpets it’s you again
Buche from indonesian plant
Pathos grows like a beast in aquariums, And for the most part keeps the water clean of toxins
Beautiful natural set up! fish will be right at home!
i loved the new setup and it will de a nice home for the fish and probably for the baby betta fish
love your new fish tank setup.
And good idea to include all
your pets for Friday. Many
hugs & love to my Banana
💞😘🐕🐈🐈🐇🐠
Tank looks good 😁
Wow. Thanks. Just what I was looking for, informative, entertaining. Great presentation. I learned exactly what I need.
Nice video. Working on one myself. Can't wait to see what you put in the tank!
It's pretty I like it I just recently did my 20 and 30 gallon I just went to petsmart and and bought a few plants although I didn't get the clay or the nutrient gravel I did buy the seachem plant food thing I'm goin on two days lol hopefully my plants don't die
Creative Pet Keeping, you are an inspiration. I am now inspired by you to breed Betta fish, because where I live, it is impossible to find a baby Betta, unless you pay $50 for one.
Ah man I am the same way. My boyfriend just got a new job and I’m like :D oh wowie we’re gonna have a decent amount of money eh? *plans an entire new tank and buys a guinea pig*
Come decorate my tank lmao, I'm too indecisive 😂😂♥️
Could you list the type of plants you have in there?
Kira Zero some good low maintenance Aquarium plants are Anubis, java fern, java moss, Marino Moss balls, cripts.
That tank looks awesome I like when people use real plants
beautiful tank
Thank you!
Beautiful tank. Nice and information video I took notes, thanks for making it.
Looks great

such cute dogs!
That is a gorgeous tank.
Tank setup looks good
Good planting
When you only watch for Bannana lmao 😂
I giggled when I saw tank inspector :)
I have the same tank. I love what you have done. Like the layering system you did. Great information! I broke too. Addictive hobby. ❤🐠🙂
Excel is such a great product
Thanking I been thinking of doing a planted aquarium never done one before
Very cool! How relaxing to just sit and look at. Dumb question- newbie here but can you add fish using the liquid fertilizer?
I have the same dog as you he is 7 years old and is a sook he was really active then he broke his toe and had to get it amputated but he still gets excited when we say the word walk or we shake car keys it's funny
Nice fish tank
Good video! I learned a lot from you.
LOVE FROM PAKISTAN.
Make sure you setup your plants at least 2 weeks prior to adding fish. So the plants have time to get established. With some live plants you do not need substrate either. Anubis petite, anubis nana, and duckweed can be left to float in the aquarium or pond. The anubis can also be tied with cotton string to driftwood or decorations with cotton thread. The thread can be removed when the plant has attached itself to the object. But be aware that anubis grows slowly..
Beautiful. Simple and clean..
very nice clean water nice aquarium plants
Substrate as Dagwood sandwich. Yum.
Amazing! Thanks and love your channel!
Very nice👌🧐 very elegant
very good video
05:08 are you saying you love this light? LOL
I love your dog lol lots !
Cool, if you want a super easy carpeting plant dwarf sag does very well in low tech tanks. Also you could have red plants in there if you wanted aswell. I have a low tech with flourite black substrate, i dose flourish excell once a week and it grows Scarlet temple and ludwigia red really well! :)
I think I might try some red plants. I'm going to wait till everything establishes a bit more and then go for it. Might as well try some new plants.
looks good
gotta love being broke from you pets ^^ but its worth it
lovely tank set up
This looks great. Good planning
I just got a new LED light for my 10 gallon tank it was originally a 50 dollar light got it for 30 it has 2 settings the white for day time and blue for night the easiest carpeting plant to try is pearl weed beautiful tank getting my 10 gallon off the ground
Scott Brown Oh, blue for night sounds lovely! Would that end up having to much light for plants and result in overgrowth?

It looks wonderful.
Love your tank and your videos. Keep up the good work. I'm currently having a hard time with my 30 gallon planted tank. I keep loosing fish but my water tests fine. So I'm at a lose.
Omg 4:54!!! I would give Banana a big kiss for looking so cute haha 😗
Banana looooves kisses
Don't they all
Thanks! This really helped! I haven't had any luck with live plants, but I'll give it another try! :D
Sometimes its takes another try to get it to work :)
WOOOO New tank woo less money. 😅 love your vids and all your channel s I love the set up 😍
How long does it take for Anubias sp. To start growing and spreading after placing in the tank
Do you need to have a layer of soil at the bottom before putting your top layer on for plants or does it not matter, also if it doesn't matter is there any benefits of putting a layer of soil down
i really like ur channel
I feel you on being broke and poor :D Who needs new clothes or food. I always get so carried away with new projects xD
Great set-up
Hahaha I totally agree and know exactly what you mean. 😂 I Spoil my fish! People think I'm crazy when I say that, but it's so true! My boyfriend keeps telling me I have to go at least a week without buying fish or aquarium supplies.... Yea, right!
Very nice
Hi love your new tank it's Really cool 🐠
How would you clean the tank without disturbing the sand and plants. And how often
WOW!!! That is a beautiful aquarium.
Thanks for all easy setup video!
Question... I have a couple extra Kamoer dosers, can I use them to dose the Flourish, and any other nutrients?
Thanks for making this it was helpful
Poor and broke is a state of mind. Consider what you get out for what you put in? You can always find low cost alternative to store bought high cost materials. you can manufacture and improvise. I always buy what I can't make.
You did a nice job, it looks great.👍😁✌️
cute puppy
