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?

Film on water surface? Are these worth it or worthless?

First time I’ve tried using an actual skimmer for the purpose of clearing up that “oily” film on the top of the water. Gotta say I was surprised. linktr.ee/jkfishkeeping

Converted my newest tank into an “all in one”. Super happy how it turned out but definitely put some blood, sweat, and tears into it. .::some great products I recommend and that might help save money::. linktr.ee/jkfishkeeping
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...

I’ve waited two years for this. Unfortunately no flowerhorn competition this time, even though I was ready! Got to see friends and familiar faces. Overall I had a good time. .::some great products I recommend and that might help save money::. linktr.ee/jkfishkeeping

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. Everyone goes with “… Aquatics” and while I...

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
I treat my wood lol
Coast gem is the worst for customer service and quality. They sent me fish with no heat pack, half were dead, others were poor quality. They won’t refund me or return emails. Stay away from coast gem
Looks good. Any options for binder spine that’s longer? Looking to do the same with a 40gal breeder
Where can I get one?

Malaysia driftwood no need to boil, just rinse for a while and you're good to go 😮
I'm finally building my own fish room, but its more of an aquarium fish scape gallery. not meant for profit, but for my enjoyment.
The alcohol removes the oils from fingers and such
Boughmine for Grainger #80 for $60 but more coarse 12/20
Thanks for detailed build video. Really great setup and coming out nice!
Actually you’d help more if you didn’t buy any fish (and nobody did) bc then they’d have no one to sell to so no one would breed them for that store and no fish would be hurt like that
Poor baby
😢
How is he now??
What if you put the screw side of the bracket inside the tank instead?
Haven’t tried, not sure why I haven’t lol!
Man those twerpy fish be sad because of the vinyl
😂
Damn chan! Nice setup! Looking to adopt this style.
Great video, Thank You. Amazon has Stainless Steel 5 gallon bucket strainers for $17 with different size mesh. Typically used for paint straining
Kind guy! Thank you
Gracias por tu video, es una buena luz, relación precio/calidad. Tiene dos problemas para mí. En la configuración 8times, los cambios entre times es brusco, no son suaves. El segundo problema es en la configuración 24h no permite cambiar el 100% de la potencia. Saludos.
How many hours to take boile ?
The longer the better. At least an hour but longer if you wanna remove more tannins and water log
remarkable, a cautionary tale. Thank you
Thank you Father 💪
wnt to start a freshwater stingray tank would the fine playground sand be better than pool filter sand?
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.
My only issue is that sap ends up stuck to my pots
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
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.
Zebra fishes are expensive? I saw some yesterday for $15 each
The L046 are a bit up there.
Where can I buy one? Where did you buy a low boy? I can’t find one any where
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
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.
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.
Oh no! I’ve never lost inverts to expel-p, but this is proof it’s always a risk
Ah, yes it seems so. Luckily they’re alive but I know now
Tank Looks very nice for sure!! I see Zebra plecos at Auctions sometimes and they sell high but u got a investment fish there!! Great Video!!🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it Mike! 👊
I also have a black background but i use chalkboard paint. But if i want its still easy to remove
Oooh yea, that sounds nice
👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful zebraaasss! But hey it´s a dangerous inviroment for them to be a completely new tank... hope they make it thrue
always...for a while
I’ve noticed the same result. I’ve used them both and lost snails and Assassin snails. Not a complete loss, but several. Still it was worth helping my Endler’s livebearers from wasting away.
zebra plecos, I also want them, but they are getting more and more expensive. You can't import them anymore so you can only find them from local breeders.
Exactly. I imagine they should come down again since more and more people will be breeding. At least they won’t go extinct in the wild. Or hopefully not
Congratulations on the new friends
So fun to watch this as I saw you at the swap!
YES! good times, looking forward to next meet!
Hope they breed like crazy for you, so you can recoup your investment!
I hope so too!!! haha thank you
Looking great!
So cool!! I used to have some L136B about 10 yrs ago. It's so funny that I was just wondering yesterday when you were going to pop up with a new vid and here you are! Lol Congrats on the new plecos
Haha Hi Cheryl!! Been trying to deal with this cheap mic and it’s been on and off. In this video, “Day 2” came out completely mute 😭 so I just didn’t include it. Ordered a nicer one that’ll be here this weekend.
@@JKFishKeeping 🎉 no stress you'll get there!! ☺️

I’ll have to check it out 👊
Slowly adding 1 tank at a time...don't tell the wife.😏🤫🤫

👍🏻👍🏻 I have one I rotate between my tanks to help catch small pieces of duckweed I miss
Nice! Super clutch
It is such a huge tank.
Is one enough for a 48 x 24 x 24 heavely planted tank?
Depending on the plants, most cases yes
Ayoooo dope!
Thanks Noisy!
@@JKFishKeeping anytime brother
Cool!! Do the cories use a mop for breeding?
Still too early for them but I just left it in there so they can hide for now ☺️
@@JKFishKeeping ah good idea
