Old Man Geez Update of Top Fin 29 gal. Kit From Petsmart. Good Deal.
that wood looks good i like the little holes in the bottom for fish to hide in or swim through looks great
I think the tree looks like an Old Mans Face. I kinda have a big nose like that. LOL.
i just got my own 40 breeder
Gratzzz
I got a 29 gallon and haven't had a fish tank since I was a kid, the bottom is all gravel. Any tips for what plants I should get for it?
One Sword, 2 Crips, Moneywort and Anubias on wood and rocks is my goal. I screwed up and planted 2 swords in my 29. They need more room.
@@geez1960 I settled on a Java Fern, the guy at the store said they are next to impossible to kill.
@@panzeresq5775 Kewl. They just grow really slow. For me anyway.
Yay!
Looks great!
Thanks
Thanks
Great video!
Appreciate the Comment! Thanks!!
What is on the walls of the first room? It looks cool. It's not paint, is it?
Oh I let my grandaughter draw on the wall. She was not too happy I put the tank in front of the swans.
Hmmm. You mean the brown strips stuff? Thats cheap sheetrock covered with a form of wall paper stuff. Pretty common down here.
They definitely are lambchop rasboras like you said. I have some sold to me as glowlight rasboras but they also look like lambchop rasboras, seems to be common for them to be labelled incorrectly
Yup oh well we'll see how they grow.
yo im the first viewer dude thanks for the unboxing i like the tank alot dude i have a 5 gallon but so far im ok but you have good content dude god bless
Super Thanks !!
Imagine if he was a sports commentator with that great voice 💀🤔😎
Oh Yea
Poor audio
Dang OK Thanks. I'll need to work on Dat.
I love Hygger lights! Super good deals. 😁
Yup
Thanks for sharing
Appreciate the comment.
At least you got a refund. Thanks for sharing
Thank You
Aww! What kind of fish is this little one?
It was a platy fish but unfortunately they didn't make it. Bad Timing. It's been a rough couple weeks Yea.
@@geez1960 Sorry to hear that! Hope things get better soon 🙏!
@@mermaidschorus_pets Thanx
How are these plants holding up? 🤔
They are kinda hanging in there. Just have 3 little patches tied to the tree limb.
@@geez1960 Good luck, my hornwort was always a plant that bounced back, so I hope they do that for you too!
@@mermaidschorus_pets I'm actually leaning towArds Moneywort right now. I like the broader leaves. Sorry so sloppy I'm Old and typing is not my thing.
@@geez1960 Moneywort is a beautiful plant too!
Not Looking Good for the Hornwort.
Nice update video if you go to PetSmart you should make a video going. Show us what you're looking at and maybe show off some of the fish. Hopefully the hornwort revives itself it doesn't look that bad from what you saved.
I did go and had a great experience. But I'm not sure i'm ready for video in Da Wild so to speak. I'll need to work on that. Thanks
Some of those pieces look like they will take off again! I have some Hornwort that grows like an absolute weed. Good luck! 😊
A work in progress. Thanks
Not bad 4-8 is a good harvest for 1 plant. Of course, you would have gotten a few more if you give them 90 days and a little bigger. You can actually wait until the leaves die all the way back. Good job
Yea I got impatient. First successful harvest. They did taste real good. Better than Store Bought.
@@geez1960 I completely understand being impatient. It's all I can do to keep waiting, Mine keep flowering, I am too afraid to cut the flowers. Some people said to cut them, and others say do not cut the tops. so, I am going to leave them alone. haha These last 2 weeks are hard. I also have sweet potatoes. I will wait until 1026. It's the first frost day. I have heard some say not more than 4 days after frost. So, the first frost is the 26 and I will pull them that day. I am sure your potatoes were delicious, they looked yummy.
Hornwort is an amazing plant for tanks, it has nice speedy growth and looks cool. 😁
I really Like your videos, you have such a diverse collection of critters. Thats Awesome.
@@geez1960 Thank you so much! 😁🐟
Sorry to hear you lost a fish, I just lost a pleco who got sick after a power outage; fish dying is always rough. Your tank will fully cycle, you got this! ☺
Thanks. Yea It's taking awhile but I think in a couple more weeks it'll be there. This will be my quarantine tank so that means i gotta find money for my real tank and get it cycled too. Hopefully because i have this one going I will be able to get some bacteria from it to fast cycle the new one. Looking at a 75 gallon. But not racing and will wait for a great sale.
@@geez1960 Good luck! Petco often has really good sales so I hope you can score one soon. I got a 40 gallon cheap on OfferUp, but Facebook marketplace often has good deals too. The bacteria to help cycle the next tank is always a great idea. 😁
@@mermaidschorus_pets I've been looking everywhere and it seems to me that the marketplace stuff around here all look really bad. Some chips, cracks (but doesn't leak) or so they say, and all want the same as new. Waiting for the Petsmart 50% off sale or dollar gallon.
@@geez1960 That stinks. Used tanks should not be sold for new prices (especially if they aren't in good condition). I love those sales! Our Petco's dollar per gallon sale seems to happen randomly so I hope you can score one soon!
@@mermaidschorus_pets I think I'll get another kit deal. The 55 gallon might be big enough for a middle tank and I won't have to buy everything else. Money wise it makes sense. But IDK
For a sponge filter, check out aquarium co-op's product. Much better than the amazon filter. Sponge filter with the upgrade kit probably the best I found on youtube.
Nice to see the API test kit really good video too. Sad news about the algae eater. how often do you feed them by chance. There are only a few in there. it could be that or from plants breaking down. I'm battling with ammonia levels right now it's really annoying.
I'm battling with Nitrites but no ammonia. Man it's tricky getting a tank to cycle. I feed them one wafer every other day. Unless i see it still on the bottom. One is now showing signs of a possible internal problem. Hanging poop and a swollen belly. I should've not put them in this size aquarium. It's the only one I have atm though. But it would take like 20 packets of General Cure at a time to treat. Hmmm. No money till next Month so we'll just have to go with it. i may start over anyway because I really don't like the substrate. If your ammonia level is rising that may be a good thing if it's a new tank. Your tank might be finally starting to cycle.
@@geez1960 that's nice to hear hopefully my tanks is starting to cycle. I know there are some things you can do at home to help them out a little. It just depends I'm not exactly sure. Some of them are raising the water temperature. If you have activated charcoal on hand that could work. That sucks tho hopefully little man pulls thru. They always recommend aquarium salt but who knows how much that cost.
Holy moly that’s a lot of substrate!! Haha maybe get some digging things to enjoy the depth? Idk anything about fish tanks haha 😅
I'm gonna plant corn !!!
Not bad i would say you totally messed it up. It looks good still like you said you do have a lot of substrate. You can always fix it in the future. Honestly you probably don't need that much soil. Alot of the other channels i watch say you just need a light layer really. Aquatic soil might work a little better as well. Seems pretty good tho not bad cant wait for the fish.
Yea i think I liked it better before. Well We'll have to do a redo when i get another tank. I'll take some of the sand out of this one and use in the other.
Nice I like the new look this is the same tank right. It makes the tank look a lot bigger with substrate and all that stuff in there. it's going to look nice when it's all filled up. Keep up the good work nice update video.
Awesome comment. I'm soaking some yard wood from the storm to remove some of the tannins and get them to sink in a 55 gallon plastic drum I have in da yard. More to come.
Hey geez not bad you updated videos. They are pretty good. The only thing you might want to try. Make some slightly longer videos if you can. I feel like your views will grow for sure. Not bad at all tho the tank is looking great.
Thanks. I've tried longer videos but don't get many views on those. It's a work in progress. I'll put something together this afternoon.
Try Giant betta fish. Very cool.
I believe I have settled on Either German Blue Rams or Apistogrammas with Angel Fish as the centerpiece.
I'm thinking about a couple Angel Fish and maybe a few German Blue Rams. Working on the aquascape now. Stratum is coming in tomo. Thanks
Nice angles are a hardy fish s good one to start with I never had blue rams yet. Those will be interesting to see. I like the wood you added it should sink eventually.
Not bad i like the rock pile it could be worse. What do you plan on putting in the tank any ideas yet.
I think I decided on a pair of Apistogramma Cacatouides and Angel Fish. But a work in progress. LOL
I assume you got the sticker off. If not i would recommend just hot water and a wash cloth. If that doesn't work a scubby pad on the back of a sponge. Should do it to without scratching the tank. It worked for me decently i didn't have any scratches on the tank.
Yeah it actually came off rather easily. My wife has fingernails. LOL
literally the perfect short! straight to the point, you give a visual comparison and your opinion on the texture. i was looking at this today because the price was right but i instead chose a couple of the different pro-mix soils that big local retailer carries. curious and excited to see how it does compared to what i normally use. thanks for the video!
Thanks. Yea there are many options these days. But I couldn't pass on the price and I was able to grow some fine potatoes in Da Bed.
There ya go. Riding lawnmowers have many uses 👍👍
We use what we have LOL.
Good thing you got a couple harvests before the storm. Glad y’all are safe 👍👍
Yup. I ate some last night. I planted the Bodacious Sweet Corn and man is it good. I'll prolly replant as soon as I get back to some normalcy. Thanks for the comment.
Man sorry that happened but glad you’re ok
Super Thanks. Yea we can replace the material stuff but I'm sure glad the chickens didn't get smashed.
Ka-Poot 😓
LMAO
Do you think pine pitch would work just wondering nice video thanks for sharing
Pine doesn't have the same chemical or smell. It has to be Cedar.
Dang I can't believe that actually killed him that fast...
Yup. Dropped Him. It's been a week since I last sprayed and there were no bugs bothering me outside since then. But it rained so I will prolly hit it again.
How many plants produced that much?
Hmmm I haven't counted. I'll do that for ya tomo. But that's just the first harvest still have a few more on the same stalks. I have 5 rows bout 15 feet each. Plants are bout 8 inches apart.
😮
Yea I really need to work harder on my weed and grass management. It's just too hard on the knees. But It is what it is. Thanks for the comment.
The zucchini and cucumbers look like they might need a bit of potash
Yea. But we've been having so much rain everything just washes away. But I'll try adding some more Thanks.
@@geez1960 that’s why I suggested it, potash helps them survive through frost and wet weather
@@davidbatt6723 Yup I think I need to get or make some slow release all my homemade fertilizers are liquid.
@@geez1960 just charcoal and ash out of a fire is the best fertiliser for pumpkin zucchini and cucumbers
@@davidbatt6723 I boiled some onion peels and added some ash to it. I use this to add to the hole when I planted and top dress every so often.
With God all things are possible
Yes Indeed.
Unfortunately, My Friend Has been moved to Hospice. Thanks for All the Love.
I had the same experience last month and lost a friend of many decades. My sympathies indeed and here's hoping your friend makes it through.
Thanks.
Have you tried mixing a bit of power milk with your spray? It’s a trick we use in Australia if we have caterpillar problems
I did use regular milk but don't have powdered milk.
@@geez1960 I’ve never tried using fresh milk, I’ll give it a go. I’m curious to see if it makes any difference
Praying for Pat.
Thank You
Why do you Christians believe all that prayer helps anyone? I am 67 years old and I've bever seen a single good thing come from religion... I'm not judging or trying to be mean/ I'm serious Do you not think it's weird too believe some spirit is listening to you as well as billions of others asking for favors all day.. that not a single one of you ever actual receive> ? Seems crazy to me.
May the Lord Jesus bless him and protect him, Amen.
Thank You
So sorry to hear it. Please know my family and I are praying for him. Keep us updated!
Will Do.
