- Hi guys.
On this video I'll be showing you what maintenance I carry out on the Aquarium.
Join me for some underwater gardening. Lot's more going on.
Don't forget all the videos in this series are in my playlists for you to watch ok.
Love the tank fun watching all the fish
Oh so close to 50K, well deserved too. In fact it should be much more than this.
Nearly there 😀👍
Yet another outstanding video Mark many thanks
Like watching the Nat Geo Channel
Thank you Stewart 😀
Rock Pool looking great! Thanks for sharing!!
I just keep watching over n over lol fascinating
Fantastic to see sea life as it happens, great video
Glad to see my suggestion bearing fruit, it looks much better now!
Once again nice update Mark. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
As always another great video thanks Mark 👍
I love this series
Thanks for watching Simon. 😀👍
Another great video of this aquarium.
It’s like our own fishy soap opera ... just love it.
Or sitcom! Lol x
Cheers buddy.
This just keeps getting better,since I found your channel I’ve viewed all your videos,how you’ve not got followers in the thousands will never cease to amaze me,the effort you put in to your content is very much appreciated,you got me back into the hobby after 15 years away, for that I thank you 👍
I'm super happy with all my subscribers. Your a fantastic bunch. 😀👍
Could you or Mrs Aquatics do a cook-up of the seaweed you harvest. I'd like to see that!
😂😂
If you guys want to see a cook up no problem.
Amazing tank!! The algae growth is impressive. Inspiring stuff, thanks mate :)
spectacular this tank
Love watching this, thanks for all your hard work.
Thanks you so much for watching.
50k will be hit very shortly. Congrats Mark, very well deserved!
Thank you 😊
Awesome videos so interesting keep up the awesome work
BLT 😂👍 yea that sounds yum!
It tastes lovely. This is nori 😀👍🥢🦐🍱🍣
Please do another feeding video ! :) love those
Wow. Just wow! Just watching the behaviour of the creatures in your videos is mind blowing. The male goby excavating; saucy starfish (aka Dexter..?); the anenomes scrapping; the hermits moving home to clean its old one; Lenny Limpet loving life; Aunt Blenny overseeing everything... Goby Rock! Yes!
Thank you for watching. I LOVE DEXTER!
This is a beautiful tank Mark!
Love all of your videos Mark x How cool is that limpet - wonderful.
Keep on struggling with that computer Mark, your videos are an absolute pleasure to watch!
Thanks so much for watching Austin 😀👍
I'm just going to comment it again, by far my most favourite youtube series right now! This tank is absolutely stunning!
My favourite series on RUclips! Keep em coming pls ❤
Will do Carl.
The tank's doing well , I had no problem with the quality of the video . It'll be great to see the fry if Mr Hermit hasn't had the lot, great video's Mark 😊👍👍👍
Let's hope he hasn't found them.
Loved it!
Thanks for watching.
All of you videos are great!
Thank you so much for watching Mama G. 😀👍
this is by far the best natural looking salt aquarium I have seen, stunning recreation of a piece of nature!!!! Its hilarious to see that crab switch shells and how quickly he moves his butt
A small flat fish would be amazing
Excellent choice 😀👍
This aquarium is so educational, I live a few miles from the cost in the UK 🇬🇧 and I’ve never seen anything like what’s happening in your fish tank 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼, Lenny the limpet 🗻should be a internet super star 💫 #lennylimpet
I agree. Lennys a star.😀👍
Very inspiring project. Thanks for sharing Mark.
Thanks for watching.
Love this Rockpool series Mark, I have a hankering to live by the sea!!! 🙂👍
Thanks Mark. 😀👍
Bugger. I accidentally stopped the video and now have to watch it from the beginning, lol! Oh well!
🤣😂👍
Loved the video Mark!!
So much more informative than some other channels. I recently unsubbed one as he did three Aquarium videos and never mentioned fish once.
Fantastic content as always Mark, love this series. How about some young mullet or something similar to fill the swimming space at the front of the tank? Some wrasse would be cool too👍🏼
Elvers might be interesting too, not sure how they'd do in this tank though. Do they need freshwater too!?
Throw in a basking shark also,since the tank has just turned into a tardis.
I'm going to put some mullet fry in the tank as the weather warms up.
nice intro Mark
Thanks Rob 😀👍
Please keep these videos coming. I almost talked my wife into a salt tank. I am petrified of it though. I have kept fresh water tanks for 30+ years but never had salt water. I am thinking of getting the Fluval evo and have watched your videos on yours. I only have three planted freshwater aquariums now so one more won’t be too much to handle. Love the videos these have been amazing
The evo is a wonderful little aquarium. Thanks for watching Tim. 😀👍
4K looks fine to me, Mark.
Got it sorted. 😀👍
This really is fascinating stuff. Thank you.
I did notice the quality of film drop a bit but then the content is so interesting I ignored it 😊. as for the question of what we would like to see in the tank next i would love to see a small flat fish.
YES!
I'm on it! 😀👍
Love ur content! Would like another foraging video though
Coming soon. super windy here at the moment.
Which fish to add next? I say Sand Eels! add these cool fish to your tank... you got the right sand for that.
Or whelks, the sea snail that created the hermit crab shell :)
Sand Eels are fast swimming fish and they wouldn't be a good addition in this small aquarium. A bigger tank would be ok.
I would like to see other fish. Perhaps something that shuls/schools closer to the surface, and a bit of a top up on the clean up crew.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍
Dry the dulse and eat it , hard to find dulse in the shops now , summer time is the best time to get it , my grandad got me eating as a child lol think it's a northern ireland thing
I love to eat Dulse.
I do like your new intro! Your old one I had to skip because the sound hurt my ears (I'm autistic) but this new one is soothing and lovely to watch.
Glad you like the new one.😊👍
Love the videos man!
Thanks for sorting the quality out Mark, no need to apologize!
Thanks for watching.
Probably be a bit much but would love to see a butterfish (rock gunnell) as it's unknown to many. I know you do not like crabs due to their general aggressive nature however would you consider a small spider crab? Really interesting to watch as it attaches algae to itself and far less aggressive than shore crabs. Both would probably be better in an even larger tank though.
Now that's a good suggestion. I'll keep my eyes open for one ok.
It'd be cool to see some pipe fish or some temperate water seahorses? some more prods maybe or how about some muscles that'll help clean the water clams raise your clams I know you don't have a substrate deep enough for Green ducks you know the long neck clams Maybe some brittle stars or some cushion stars little ones. if you can find some sea cucumber and a sand dollar and if you want to help get rid of some of the seaweeds put in a merchant they love seaweed Too bad you can't keep a baby lobster in there. I can't remember if you ever found some rainbow rack or not? if not that would be a nice addition!
A couple a couple of small Queen Scallops or King Scallop would be interesting to add to I think the starfish will probably eat them but I would get rid of the starfish and add more muscles and clams and scallops maybe some cockles in cuckold regular cocoa? Those might be nice to add as well to the tank Thing is we don't want to overcrowd it right?! well I hope to see you back on the channel soon you have been missed my friend sorely you have keep us saying along with the rest of content creators drink COVID I know that it's done you should benefit now from that.
OMG im dreaming to make a 800/700 liter coldwater marine aquarium and i wish i just wish you make a one big 800 liter marine rockpool aquarium with a 10 cm deep substrate and a lot of different types of fish but not some too crazy but more subtle, calm and interesting fish like your blenny and gobbies. I adore this tank but unfortunately can't have my own, yet
got the same setup
Ayup Mark,
The tank is looking really smart after having it's 'covid' haircut! Do you find small flat fish in the rock pools? If so, would they survive in the tank? What about urchins! They would look great.
Thank you for sharing your video really enjoyed it. Take care mate 👍😷👍
I plan on putting a couple of flat fish in the tank. I've kept them before and they settled in well.
Get at least one small sea urching to eat the kelps, and if you can find any sea hares/slugs, and sea cucumbers.
Sounds good to me.
Did you know that the anatomy is open and close according to the tide.... it’s quite amazing but things like anonymous but also bivalves oysters will reset for the tide at the location within about two weeks. This was first discovered when they took oysters from Martha’s Vineyard to Arizona and a research station in Tucson. I found with oysters continued to open and close at the tide cycle of their origin for around two weeks until they developed I knew tide at their geographic location despite being so far inland. Wanted to have actually found it at the Land moves Open down slightly in accordance with the tides.
Very interesting. 😀👍
I didn't notice a quality change.
- check settings
- auto 360p
- sad face.
The reason why I do not turn in every time is the title. It sometimes feels like I have already watched the video. You should go with something like "I pulled a bucked of seaweed out of my aquarium"
😀👍. Thanks for watching.
It would be great if you found a little eel for this tank
I'll keep my eyes open for one ok.😀👍
I did tell you Mark lol 😆 lot better now .
Cheers buddy 😀👍
Your welcome your videos have kept me going through this bloody lock down. Keep the good work up mate . 👍
Mmmm, sea lettuce and sea cucumber sandwiches..? 😅
Marks aquatics sandwich shop coming up soon. 😂👍
@@MARKSAQUATICS 😂 hope you deliver! Don't forget a dash of seahorseradish sauce..
maybe no dog whelk then (Lennys' growing on me :P)
do you change water with natural sea water or salt mixed stuff?
The starfish seems a little too destructive to the ecosystem, it's eating the snails that would help control the micro algae.
It's all about finding an equilibrium. In nature it comes naturally, pardon the pun. With a tank like this, it's a continuous learning curve. Let's see what Mr Aquatics does next...
I'm just trying to keep it real. This is rock pool life.
What temperature did you keep this tank? I tried a rock pool tank a while ago. It was great for a few months but is the summer heated up my DIY cooler couldn't keep up. Id like to try again soon for sure but with a proper cooler...
You really do need a chiller. I kept mine about 17 degrees Celsius
Any chance of adding pipefish or stickleback?
Yes. As the summer progresses more species will turn up. 😀👍
Do the good people of the Channel Islands have much contact with each other and the good people of Normandy? Just curious, thanks in advance 🍀
Yes all very friendly. Always popping over to France for lunch .😀👍
Sorry mark to jump on this post have you breed king blue tetras
I think that if you could catch some more of the shrimp in ruclips.net/video/IkhjscRSVdA/видео.html that video, they would look really interesting.
They were really cool little guys. 😀👍
What sort of free swimming fish would be reasonable for a tank of that size?
Mullet, bass, pollack and wrasse.
A wee peacock wrasse would look nice but I'm sitting here backseat driving lol. I'm sure you'll come up with something!
i hope not, but is it possible that peach or one of the dog whelk could eat lenny?
or will the sand keep he safe?
Lennys bullet proof against starfish. And whelks only eat smaller limpits.
@@MARKSAQUATICS ok, cool, thx, lenny was a good addition to the cast
hey mark i am about to build a native Scottish reef and i wanted to know if its possible to grow coralline algae with a reef light?
Hi. Native coralline algea will grow well under full spectrum reef lights. Just make sure you keep the calcium and magnesium levels correct ok.
@@MARKSAQUATICS right thank you! gorgeous tank you have by the way
@@MARKSAQUATICS you should make another rockpool tank
what size is this tank?
Hi. Its 2 foot square.
@@MARKSAQUATICS Thanks Mark! It's looks great :)
