GETTING RID OF MY AQUARIUMS! Long Overdue Update
Bottom to top but you said light before decorations! 😭😭😭
Why cant you use CO2 as needed? Why is it C02 always on or not at all?
It’s in during the day and off at night when the plants won’t use it it
@@MASSAquariums That makes sense but could a guy run it to get plants started and then remove it for another tank?
I wondered this, I have crabgrass and bermuda. Add it grows so quick that I just take patches out. I'm also trying to find a way to filter out my tank without the need of constant filter Replacements or emptying the tank so often because my fish don't like it. And if I can use lawn grass to filter my tank and clean it, that sounds perfect. I'm wondering even if weed dandelions will grow underwater for the same purpose.
The grass eventually died in a couple weeks
I cure it no chemicals as my gulper catfish is wild caught I've only ever had symptoms never spots increase ya heater to 30 c 86 f .it works far better than horrible chemicals I've never had it since 😊.
Pissah.
😂
I got a canister filter running in a 3 gallon tank 😊
Powerful
Im looking at getting some Angels for my 4ft tank. How many would you recommend? Ive heard they are schooling fish 4-5 maybe? I can see 3 in this one. Did that work ok?
You could definitely get 5-8 easy
@@MASSAquariums Ive ordered 5 different variations and will get another different one similar time
Your a bit horse I'm mostly donkey 😮
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks for the info mate!
No problem
You have about 20 anemies to trade
Probably about 40 now
What kind of powerhead are you running in that 13.5 nano?
Hydor 250
We had all levels checked as well and they were all great just dont wanna get another and lose it again
Yeah that’s tough
Badass video gorgeous tank !! I just started a 55 gallon the same way and so far so good but had one hiccup the blue tang died 4 days after but the first 2 he was swimming all around and seemed happy but then noticed he wasnt eating with the others and was just sitting on the bottom middle for a day then the next morning it happend and the guy at the fish store since he was the biggest of the 6 fish we wasn't getting enough oxygen. other than the clowns not going to the enemie lol its been great i noticed you didn't have a bubbler going what are your thoughts on that wasnt sure how to go about keeping great oxygen levels ? Ive read that flow has most to do with it ? My out take it a 8 inch plastic piece with 4 little holes that the water empties through back into the tank should it submerged about half inch creating nice flow with a bubbler or have it a little above the water to where its creating millions of micro bubbles but ive heard micro bubbles can be bad im confused and sorry for the spelling had to smoke a bowl lol hope your 420 friendly if not my apologies
Haha 🌱💨 Tangs are very tough fish to keep especially in smaller tanks. I would keep the outtake below the surface a little so it creates “some” surface agitation but you definitely don’t want all the micro bubbles constantly
How many times and how much ammonia should I be adding during the fishless cycle? Also, do you only use the de-chlorinator once? Do you have to pick either doing the ammonia route or the de-chlorinator? Thank you :) Side note- I have started my tank today, everything is in it besides a few more plants I want to add. I started the heater, filter, and added some de-chlorinator. Not sure if there’s anything else I need to do unless I have to add ammonia. I just don’t want to mess anything up so I’m trying to see what’s the best route from here with the fishless cycle!
For a complete fishless cycle you’ll need to just wait a few weeks. If you want to add some fish a little at a time you can use Dr Tim’s one and only or Fritz makes a beneficial bacteria you can add
@@MASSAquariums okay, so if I don’t add anything but de-chlorinator then I can just wait a few weeks? If I want to add fish faster I can use one of the products you recommended? Thank you!!
WHAT A TOTAL FKN MORE=ON....DIP-SH-ITE TOOK 3 MINUTES TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT REMOVING NITRATES - SIMPLE SH=ITE - 1 - WATER CHANGES, 2- FILTER CHANGES 3 - PLANTS. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A 30 SECOND VIDEO....TOTAL FKN I\DIOT
Man if a video can set you off like that then it must suck to be you. Take a pill friend and don't worry about it, you'll get over it lol.
Little brother in law got me on the fish tank wave and he started me off with cichlids 😂😂😭 I only had the tank sitting for one week before we threw the fishes in their they just be stressed out sheesh
Cichlids can be aggressive
Planted tanks are always bad.... Aquaponics is the best... I use pothos and lucky bamboo ❤
Word
Bro it dies after few weeks.....
Yep
Yes yes yes!!! There are SO many people who will diss for overstocking (I don’t wanna say Karen’s, but….) but I think with good filteration, water changes and just keeping a vigilant eye for the fish’s well being (I’ve deffo messed up when I first started but know what to look out for now) fish can thrive like this!! Thanks for this vid and gorgeous tank!!
Thanks for watching.
Love the tank! I just started a new tank with 2 Hobs and wave makers only. However I’m having an issue with surface scum I think people are calling it protein buildup. But my tank has only been up 2 weeks. Do u experience this? People are saying it’s from not having a sump?
You do not need a sump to run a saltwater aquarium, what they are referring to is an overflow will remove surface buildup as it draws all the top water out of the tank into the sump. Saltwater tanks are a game of patience and waiting. As in months to years of balancing your tank and each tank is different. Low fish stock and light feeding while also monitoring your Light time. Light duration will depend on what corals you keep. If you don’t have corals you don’t need to keep your light on very long. 4 hrs is good just so you can enjoy the aquarium. They do make surface skimmers you can buy but once your tank settles in you won’t need one. Good luck and be patient. A saltwater/reef aquarium is not one for instant gratification. TRUST ME! lol
Yes, I completely understand. This is my second tank. It’s a 80 gallon that I converted over from freshwater. I have a red sea 26 gallon Max nano Peninsula that I’ve had up for a year now and that tank is doing amazing, but I’ve never seen this surface buildup Because that other small tank has a overflow but I wanted to ask you because based off of watching your video and doesn’t look like you’re dealing with it on the top of your water. And every time you ask the local fish store they say oh yeah you need an overflow oh yeah, you need to get a protein skimmer to get that out And all this different stuff I’ve seen people run just off of live rock and powerheads. So I just I’m wondering if there was something I’m doing wrong when I do my water change will that help reduce it? And did your tank ever go through the surface scum stage?
Ive got an oddball question. My controller is working absolutely fine, but i was mounting it on the wall and accidentally triggered some sort of demo mode that im trying to recreate but I cant! It went into something called "Aurora Mode" and wpuldnr come our of it until I unplugged it so im guessing its some sort of demo mode. Have you ever gotten this before??
I have not but you should be able to cycle through modes. They have a mode when you are introducing new coral too
Go pats reflection lol
You were close. Lack of stony corals combined with low phosphates and low lightning and you have a bloom of coraline. If you had the reverse you would have a bloom of bad algae. You simply were on the other side of the spectrum.
Can I feed my fish a beef weck sandwich with horseradish?
Mike! You’re channel is one of the channels that for into the UA-cam aquarium hobby back in 2018. I love when the rare video pops up on your channel. Was just doing dishes and listening to this one. Nice clubs, drop a few birdies for me this summer!
Thanks dude. I have dropped quite a few already. 🏌🏼♂️
self fulfilling proclamation...Jurupari...you say jur-ee-pari. how do you get ee out of the letter U? Back in the '80's i used to say you-ruh-par-ee. which I am fairly confident is also incorrect. Since jurupari is from the Tupi language that also gave us jaguar and jacaranda my guess is that the correct pronunciation would be joo-roo-par-ee
Thanks for the info
I have had a red algei bloom how do you get rid of it from what I been told scrape it off
Yes and the have a liquid for Cyanobacteria that helps
I put small rocks first, then sponge, the the poly, then the filter rocks on top. Clear water!!
Nice
Hey bro! Congrats on 10 years man! Crazy! Just a quick question, I’m amazed on your 40gal reef! What you usually feed and how often to get no water changes and that amazing quality of fish and water… thriving! 👏🏻
I feed flake and top off when needed with RODI
Woah, what do you feed that monster? NLS?
Flake
@@MASSAquariums Specifically what brand? 😅😁
I've got a wendtii that's been growing 6 month's its now triple the size and the center piece plant. I've got val growing in backleft to center. Starting to add bacopa moneywort in right back to center. I'm going to add dwarf amazon sword mid ground just for fun and random variety thats more natural to the fish
Sweet
I do have one tank on CO2 and it's not been a relief to all issues at all...but have seen some extra growth. I'd like to find more discussion on balancing CO2 tanks...but don't think you're posting anymore...and also can't find videos on this. Has anyone found any discussion on issues with a CO2 tank??
They have checkers to make sure you’re not blasting too much in the tank but to find a balance between CO2, fertilizers, photo period and algae is all trial and error
4-5 weeks 😢
You can add beneficial bacteria and slowly add a few fish here and there
Thats how i got my X pregnant when she was my X i busted out and now on the hook for 18years... 2:16 At what point do you stop planting the babies. I just planted about 5 of them...Should i just toss the rest? Its a 29 gal..
If you want
Do I need a heater if I live in a climate that is warm year round?
Not unless you run AC, for tropical fish 78°-82°F is a good window to keep your aquarium at
How soon should I see nitrites when using a nitrifying bacteria and ammonia (dr Tim’s) on day 8 and still 0ppm?
Ammonia is 3-4ppm
Maybe you’re cycled
@@MASSAquariums even with 0 Nitrates ? Ammonia 4 Nitrates and Nitrites 0 on day 14
I have done salt and plants worked ok but small measurements
Petco smh yep I'm going with same crap
I just got a 5.5 gallon tank with 3 small betta fish. Red gravel on the bottom and two decorations. But i don't have any equipment in it. What fo you suggest is most essential first?
A filter and heater
Eem ising them for years mate , never had a problem. You are cleaning them to much . Just leave them for 6 months before clean
Nice video man👍
Another guy who doesn't understand a good general rule for beginners. Your rules are for the Georgia Aquarium.
Wow i cant believe its been 10 years. Congratulations man.
What’s up dude
A lot of stores use one filtering system. 😑. We only have 1 decent store here that’s a Mom & Pops store who has separate filters.
What is the best hang on back recommendation for a 75 gallon aquarium? I’ve just personally never been a fan of canisters. Thank you!
I like AquaClear 110 for a 75 gallon
Congratulations Mike! Here’s to many more!!
Thank you
Do I need a heater in Florida for a 10 gal tank?
Probably not. Needs to be around 75-80 for tropical fish
I have a 10 gallon tank with some gravel a filter and just put water in. Should I put plants in rn and some platys and wait 2 weeks and then add fish?
You can put plants in at anytime and if You add some platy’s now add some beneficial bacteria like Dr Tim’s one and only nitrifying bacteria
@@MASSAquariums thanks will do Also, i also only used tap water to rinse of rocks do I need to de chlorine it?
Honestly dude, wouldn’t have the tanks I do now without you. No bullshit, straightforward advice that works. You really did motivate me to get going and gave me the confidence to just start. Congratulations brother!
Thanks dude. Means a lot. For real. These comments definitely hit me bro. 👌🏼🍺🌱
