are u dosing a fertilizer that contains nitrate?

Beautiful tank

in a perfect world exports should = imports even with proper nitrates your tds is probably going up or down(and what that tds number signifies) hella plants and topping off with RO water only can extend your water change schedule but its extremely hard(not immpossible) to eliminate them completely

Is the back panel of glass clear on this tank

Without water changes you need to worry about your water getting too soft as the plants absorb all the minerals in the water eventually. Rainbowfish especially prefer slightly harder water. Nitrates are not that big of a deal.

Wow! Your plants look amazing. I haven just recently got into planted tanks hard core, I’ve been fish keeping for a long time but I have a question. I got some Anubis’s for my 37 gallon cichlid tank. There are no other plants in the tank. I don’t have to root tab them like I do my planted 20 right?

How many times do you feed the fish per day?

Looks like a female 🔥🔥

You are likely over feeding

Has this doser ever let you down? I’m considering getting one. I’ve heard about other doser pumps getting stuck in the “on” position 😮

Hey what are dimensions

How you achieved huge growth on echinodorus what fertilizer

What does red means on your nitrate test?

yes you still need do water changes.

Have two 10 gal tanks with only 12 small amber tetras & another with 3 ambers & 12 ultra small chilli Rasboras, Both have 100+ neocaradina shrimp, a few amano's, oto's n snails plus lots of plants n fast growing hornworth in them. One's been up 12 months & other 6 months, check water quality weekly & never have do anything but top off evaporation. Might be the fast growing hornwoth that's absorbing the nitrates. You need Fast Growing plants to do that. Slow growing plants not so much.

Submerge your wood for a while in a tub. All wood will sink.

You need more plants for that many large fish and probably feeding too much. I do a 30-50% water change once per year and nitrates are never above 25ppm.

lol ...slow growing plants don't suck up nitrates nearly as fast as fast growing stem plants

That's a beautiful tank,plants look amazing as do the fish.l only have small tanks with different nano species and all are heavily planted but I still do a weekly water change but on,y around 10 /15 per cent.Seems to work for me ,lose the odd fish occassi9nally still but no major losses.Good luck with your tanks they all look great.

The sound is really good! Nice mic

If you had a deep substrate along with a heavily planted tank, then you wouldn't need to do water changes.

I have one piece of wood, the largest, that wants to float. All the wood pieces were boiled, but this one won't stay down. It is presently wedged between two flowerpots and stays there. I never thought of using a screw as a fishing line anchor. I do have some stainless-steel screws on hand, but I'm wondering if bronze ones might work better. Or even drilling a hole and gluing in a short dowel stick. Both of the latter would blend in better, but I cannot argue with success. Take care.

Thanks for this valuable video.

Just got ur videos today watched 2-3 , it is awesome buddy, subscribed and will stay connected 😍

Yes

So i have a planted tank and i have never done a water change. Only top ups. It has now been 486 days! I lost some fish at first but now, i haven't lost one in over 6 months and their population has doubled, as well as the vegetation.

Slow growing plants, rosette plants and their type do not take up a lot of nitrate. Certain mosses are alright if CO2 is used, but not great. Bunches are a pain to maintain. Better to just water change.

Love the tank, I'm jealous of your torpedo barbs keep it up

Car ram rod

Quick questions! How are they doing now that time has passed by? And were you able to keep them in a “hard water” tank or is your tank/ area based off of soft water? Ive been looking into purchasing apistogrammas however i have noticed that many of the ones out there with very outstanding colors are mostly kept successfully in soft water tanks. Unfortunately in my area all i have is hard water; however i keep running into information from others online saying that they were successful in keeping and breeding Apisto macmasteri in hard water conditions. Please let me know thank you!

Hey how long have you had these rainbows? I’ve seen your 6 month update vs your first set up video and they still look the same lol. Size and color.

Hey Rod, just wondering if you are still going to do anything with the UNS 60A salt water tank?

Did you use co2 in this tank ?

My rainbowfish are vegan. They won't leave the vallis alone

They look like 2 males to me, that's why the larger one chased off the smaller one and they don't swim around together. Keep an eye on them as the smaller one may get bullied until it gets sick. You may need to move it to the endlers tank.

I have a spare 180 that’s empty expect for Amazon swords and jungle Val. Do you think any big South American cichlids would leave the plants alonr

You should use sand instead of gravel, gravel is a nitrate factory

Love the gorgeous tank. As soon as I get my new tank up & running, I've gotta transfer my Venezuelan cories to it in order to put them on a diet. They became chonkers in the guppy tank.

Pretty sure thats a colour morph of the roseline shark.Seen them online and they are quite expensive,more than the normal colour ones.Beautiful tank your crypts are amazing.

Beautiful beautiful tanks man

you are a great youtuber. I love all your tanks souurrounded many toys :) I wish you more likes. Please make more vids

Where did you buy him

Man you've gotta say the truth what do you do for those massive crypts 🤯👌❤ The cryptocoryne and guppy tank is gorgeous

Looks like you have a Golden Densoni Barb/Roseline Shark. That’s its natural color, the Gold are harder to find.

This tank is gorgeous! I’d love to have a planted tank like that!

👏👏👍👍

That’s a gorgeous tank!

So hows the tank working out 1 year after you made this video?

This is one of my favorite tank concepts. I call it the "Guppy Explosion," but haven't conducted the experiment with Endlers as yet. (Typically, however, some Endler genetics will emerge if you just include Guppies in the original set of parents.) I recently set up a 20 gallon version of almost this exact same tank (minus the bristlenose but with african-dwarf frogs) and am waiting for the population to finally explode. I started with a wide variety of about 8 guppies and have about 40 now, with the "explosion" likely to happen within the next month or two. And, BTW, you don't need to worry about what to do when you have too many. The population will take care of itself by cutting down on breeding and increasing consumption of the fry. You can also take some into your LFS and at least get some store credit -- typically $.50 to $1.00 each, in batches of fifty.
