Bucket List Fish Acquired! and it wasn’t cheap
Dollar per inch, absolutely the most expensive species in the fish room. This fish has been on the top of my list for years. During that waiting time, I’ve researched and waited. What do you guys think of it?

Lominie Pixie 30 unboxing review
Переглядів 5645 місяців тому
So typically $70 for an aquarium light is more than I spend on most light. It’s also not the most I’ve spent on lights as well. When you want Kessil and Aqua Illumination but your bank account doesn’t, you find something that’ll work for less. The third Lominie light that I’ve had my hands on, this light had a handful of aspects I wanted and at the price point I liked but how is it actually? Lo...

If I had my choice, I would’ve ventured into “Lifestyle” or “Gaming” because it’s a much larger category. Two things though, they just take more time and I don’t feel as confident in them. Something I forgot to mention is, picking a channel name. I struggled with this for too long and set my name thinking it was going to be temporary, but here we are.

    I tried this but I still prefer the paint and to prevent scratches I cover in a clear coat of Elmer’s glue.. the vinyl does work but my only reason I prefer the paint is that it looks just a little more crisp and vibrant because the vinyl has a glue layer in between that makes it not as black

    wnt to start a freshwater stingray tank would the fine playground sand be better than pool filter sand?

    • @JKFishKeeping
      @JKFishKeeping 2 місяці тому

      Freshwater stingrays are my goal. I’d go with the pool filter mainly for the reason it won’t get suspended in the water column when they bury or swim across. The play sand is too fine and will get brushed up and may cloudy the water often and/or get trapped in the filter media or worse, the impeller or mechanical.

    I recently just got a 50 lowboy and idk if it’s a good idea to stock it with a betta. Purely because it’s so hard to put a lid on it. Maybe I have to scape it in a way that non of the hard scape will pop up and lover the water by an inch maybe

    • @JKFishKeeping
      @JKFishKeeping 3 місяці тому

      You can try making your own lid with polycarbonate but I’m wondering about filtration for such a large footprint. Might be too much flow for a betta or not enough filtration for the tank size.

      Only one of my local shops sell them so it was a long wait and searching. They were at Aquashella and ran a promo but extended it to their store locations as well. If you're desperate, you can probably get your LFS to special order it in

  • @scottgordin9709
    @scottgordin9709 3 місяці тому

    I'm surprised this is the first video I've seen someone giving a demo on how dirty these actually are. I've used and still use three out of the four to this day, BDBS is very dirty, does take a while to clean and will leave an oil slick on top of ur water for awhile. Play sand is filthy as well and also takes a while to clean, but is a fine sand and will blow around, it so fine that it will become very dense as well. Pool filter sand will clean out in a few minutes, I use the same brand as used in this demo and can say it does look natural, while move around easily (don't recommend using in a tank that's over filtered) it is the nicest over all for budget friendly substrate. The Pea gravel is and does the same as name brand aquarium gravel, except the size is different from store brand to store brand, I have purchased each of these this year just to test them out as well, and BDBS was $11.99 a bag, play sand was $2.96 a bag, pool filter sand was $9.50 a bag and pea gravel was $3.11 a bag.

    • @JKFishKeeping
      @JKFishKeeping 3 місяці тому

      Hi Scott! Yes! These are definitely the best options for natural looking substrates and 100% budget friendly. The only ones I use as well. I have stopped using BDBS though but the others are my favorites.
