Ultra Low Tech Nano Reef Tank- 3 Year Anniversary Update
Переглядів 571Рік тому
In this (belated) tank update we take a look at my 20 gallon long low tech nano reef at the 3 year mark. This tank runs with a simple light fixture, powerhead, heater, and nothing else. Overall, the system has matured fairly smoothly over its third year, with a few notable shifts in the resident algae and coral populations. If you're interested in the cheap and lazy approach to reefkeeping, the...

    The reason why this problem is not so serious in Japan is that the way of keeping KOI is quite different from those in other countries. Anyway, we make them as large as possible during the feeding season to increase their basic strength. Sterilization is done twice a year in advance to prevent outbreaks.

    Thanks. There is a lot of false info about keeping fish. These are super hardy fish. I have four of them in a 1 gallon tank (over three years for three of them). The tank is about 5 inches in diameter and 15 inchs tall with a small carbon and sponge filter powerhead venturi blasting a vertical stream of bubbles and water down the wall. And (shock horror) I do 66% water changes once every 6 -8 weeks (filter/water/bubble flow dependant). I have a short video of them and tank on my channel if anyone doesn't believe me. Only uploaded 2 videos so it won't be hard to find lol.

    My heron statue has scared off red tail hawks and Turkey vultures as well as a Great Blue heron. I do move it to a different location every couple of days and I took it in during mating season this past summer but I’m thinking of getting a second one to put out with it this next year during mating season. Then I’ll take one of them back in when mating season is over. Unfortunately our pond does not have steep sides and has lots of great places for a heron to wade in to fish. We do have an area that is 4 ft deep and I put caves in the shallower areas for my goldfish to hide. We’ve only seen the predatory birds once at different times during the summer and they all eyed our heron statue and then decided to leave empty beaked.

Isn’t a repashy powder mix kind of the same thing? Protein, spirulina, veggies, garlic etc? Or are you basically making your own (fresher) repashy?

    • @kissaquaticsystems5525
      @kissaquaticsystems5525 11 місяців тому

      Repashy is an excellent food, but still contains preservatives and costs much more than diy option. Also, not sure how their powder is prepared, but diy ensures you don't use very high heat which denatures some enzymes and vitamins.

    I made this relatively the same, but it floats and falls apart in the tank. What did I do wrong?

    • @kissaquaticsystems5525
      @kissaquaticsystems5525 Рік тому

      It can float if not fully defrosted and/or if significant amount of air bubbles are trapped in the food during the mixing process. If you defrost in tank water before dropping in and gently squeeze a few times the air bubbles should leave and the food will sink better. Falling apart over time is not necessarily a problem- your fish will hunt down all the pieces. However, if you don't like the consistency then in future batches you may want to increase the amount of gelatin.

    We bought 3 of them. 2 from one store, they look alike and 1 from a different store that looks very similar but its definitely a different sub species. The one oddball i havent seen eat at all. Its been about 5 days. Im getting worried. Tried sinking veggie pellets, sinking carnivore pellets, flake food sunk to the bottom, broken brine and frozen daphnea. Dont know if its been eating any biofilm but even so, there isnt much as its a new tank. Any ideas for what to try and feed it?

    • @kissaquaticsystems5525
      @kissaquaticsystems5525 Рік тому

      I'd give them time to settle in. They will eat almost anything if hungry enough (vegetarian based foods are better). There are several different species, most commonly sold are reticulated and spotted sewellias.

    • @kissaquaticsystems5525
      @kissaquaticsystems5525 Рік тому

      I haven't had to medicate mine before so can't say specifically. Prazi in its recommended dose is safe for just about anything. Antibiotics are harder on fish/your system in general.

    I’ll agree with you 100% on the decoy . Didn’t do a thing to deter them in my pond. Also the motion detection sprinkler failed miserably . I have deep water and a big rock cave. My Koi run and hide every time I come close. Eventually they come out because they know I’m the guy who feeds them. So I still have netting because I simply don’t trust anything else. Anybody want to buy a decoy cheap? 😂

A heron was actually standing there while the sprinkler hit him. Like he actually enjoyed it. Finally the guy put about 4 different ones around. I had an idea to make an animated ( mechanical ) decoy. I’m sure that would work. Just need the time and money lol.

      Occasionally it does but there's usually not enough texture for moss to get a foothold on smooth rubber or plastic. Many of those textured/fake rock and pebble liner overlayments can grow moss very well and they're easy to drape over pond liners at the pond edges.

    • @kissaquaticsystems5525
      @kissaquaticsystems5525 Рік тому

      It's possible they can be brought in by aquatic visitors such as frogs/birds, but that transmission pathway isn't currently as well documented for flukes as it is for other aquatic parasites like fish lice. For flukes in particular it's very easy to have healthy, asymptomatic koi carrying trace amounts of parasite that are easily missed by scrapes, so it's not practically possible to definitively say they aren't on your fish to begin with.

      In my tank they certainly enjoy the strong flow areas and orient themselves on rocks against it. Also when they spawn in the water column they do seek out the highest flow currents. However for just living it's not really the flow but rather the good dissolved oxygen content that's important.
