    Well I don't think you'll ever find a more unique collection of tanks than this. Certainly worth the long drive. Thanks for sharing that experience with us.

  • @philcavallini9657

    I thought he shut everything down due to the immense cost of running and keeping the fish. Very cool to see he didn't break it all down and instead went with native fish I'm sure it saves him alot of heating the systems. Also the cichlid tank used to be a saltwater tank with aggressive/semi aggressive fish. Regardless it's really nice to see his collection!

    • @fredzep01
      @fredzep01 2 года назад

      I was going to say that, didn't he say the branches were dead, and from the local woods ?
      That's his problem right there. Powerful filtration and massive powerful fish are striping that dead bark
      of those branches, not to mention the filtration would lose a percentage of its filtration.

I remember when his big tank had tropical fish , truly amazing, I also remember he had an issue with the electric company not charging the correct amount then hiting him with a massive bill, I've always wondered what he did and how it now looked, well all questions answered, what a nice gentleman he is and you clearly had a good bond over your shared passion, great work Mick ,keep it up.

    The cloudy water like that in a marine tank is a bacteria bloom which is fixed with a UV steriliser, although you’d need a very big one for that tank

    Oh... Gee...
    The simplest way to clearer water...
    Have 100 micron Filter Socks where the water returns to the tank from the filter... Split the return feeds into several outlets, each with a sock. That is what people use for tanks and ponds,these days. You have to wash them a lot.
    But, is pretty easy to do.
    Cheers, again!!

    • @bubblerings

      Can test a single filter sock first... To see if it clears your water, before altering your return pipes.

    As far as the clearing up the water, a massive uv system along with a mechanical filter along with the bead filter. Also I don't see any form of oxygenation, maybe run a massive air pump that will increase the O2 saturation and help in clearing up the water. It's what I do on my 1500 gal and I feed them raw cut fish and it maintains the water quality and clarity

    The DeChlorinator is mainly for Chloramines which doesn't gas off (which is why they started using it) which are nasty for fish. If he wants clearer water he needs to put something finer in his filtration to mechanically remove it. Some cheap stuffing for making cushions etc would be his best bet and to remove and chuck it away each week.

    That 22000ltr tank is awesome, I have this theory with aquariums if you can keep the fish alive without stress and everything seems to be going right don't change what your doing too much I would say the next thing you might be able to do is add plants if not add somewhere in the filter loop add a plant bed to grow vegetable in and let the plants handle the nitrates not only will it help the tank but your going to have the best veggies with little to no effort. Look up aquaponics

    For the largest tank, alongside the bead filter, he could use filter floss for mechanical filtration, over the course of a week or two on 22k Litres, with regular changing of the floss, it will clear up the tank, if that's what he wants to achieve.
