isnt clear..should be before and after..in your case is...just after )))))))))))))))
3% of H2O2, 30ml per 50 l of water. Sorry friend, I'm not this kind of an ass but the music had almost triggered me a migraine. Had to listen many times to get it. Still gave you a like. And I will check your channel.
I have Beared Algae it's the worst.
Does it work for blackbeard? And thats that black thing attached to the tank on the left when youre filling up?
is fire extinguisher co2 safe and clean for aquatic life?
How much would you use for 100 gallon tank with eggs in container fed by the tank?
The music! 🤯 🌪️ 🔥
Music too loud
Great tips! Thanks! I don’t have a cabinet so I painted my fire extinguisher black matte! I will paint my external filter too for a nice touch!
Can it kill the black beard algae?
Can i change the handle??
The welding regulator is a great idea as it’s still likely has been built to much tighter tolerances than some of the ones supplied for aquascaping.
Say what parts you need tobuy. Are you deaf and put on that music???
Too much light bro
Why don't we use hydrogen peroxide to kill the algae in Okeechobee?
That's a 2kg co2?
Will it increase pH water ?
stop with the annoying music! unless if you think it is a good idea to have your message compete with annoying music.
You’re gonna have algae in your filter, it’s just gonna go right back into your tank
Hi, the aim of the video is to help people get back on track, you have to make changes to the conditions to stop the algae growing back
I have a mild algae problem and after trying algaecide and bale extract the problem remains. Pond contains approximately 550 gallons of water,it has an adequate pump to circulate the water through a waterfall (which i shut off before pouring the oxygen peroxide) a biological filter, 4 small koi, 4 goldfish and a few water plants (planning to add more). I suspect the small pieces of moss I used to cover the liner that have fallen into the water are supplying nutrients for algae. I watched your video and used 3% normally found at pharmacy at the rate just below the 1/2 cup per each 100 gallons and watched for about an hour but didn't see any bubbling nor improvements in water clarity. Just the other day I checked for nitrite, nitrate and ph levels and they all checked out.What's your take on my situation? Thanks
DUMP THE MUSIC
Blasting music while giving advice? How idiotic. I can’t comprehend half the shit you’re saying.
I can't hear you speaking with the music playing so loud. Why?
i have a 80liter tank so how much ml h2o2 i should be using
best video on h2o2 ive seen, very good man!
Dude. That background music is horrendous.
Great info in the video but I would just skip the background music as it's very distracting and unnecessary. Can't hear you at all.
Thanks for the feedback! I will ditch the music going forward as I want these videos to benefit people and not put them off the hobby 😂
bro my aquariuma is 2x1x1 ft can you pls help my how many ml to use? i have fish
Can you do this on a cycled tank with fish already in it?
Yes, it's fish safe
Great video. I am having hair algae in 4 week old planted tank. I am having amano shrimps in that tank. My question is if I do black out and after 4 days I do a large water change then the shrimps may die of shock. So can I do only 20 percent water change so that if may not kill the shrimps in there.
Yes keep in mind live stock, just complete the blackout- manually remove as much hair algae as possible and then do a 20% wc
Music is way to loud 🙉
Holy shit the ear cancer
What about the size of the cylinder mouth and the valves
Great info on this here.. www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/a-guide-to-co2-cylinders.70295/
I'm doing the same. Are you injecting oxigen?
No I don't, filter provides surface movement though
The music in this video is too loud. I hardly heard what you were saying
Really sorry there was a mess up with the audio on upload. Future videos will be double checked
Glass Rosy Barb or Red Glass Rosy Barb is the Best solution . You just need one and will get rid of 98% of Algae.
Thanks! Never heard of them eatting algae, will give it a Google
@@chrispowell6594 Trust me. Get a Red Glass Rosy Barb and make a video about it. I have a 36 g tank full of nano fish and plants. Otos Amanos did nothing compared to just that one barb. They're pretty active and I have never seen her fight. I got tons of tiny phoenix moss and she doesnt touch any of them. I used to ignore them in the store but now I love them. I bought a Golden Barb to see if it did the same but no so to my experience only glass barb work.
Great content, cant wait to see the channel grow!
Thankyou
hi my jbl adapter wont fit.do i need a new nut to attach it to the cylinder?
Hi, I believe you need one of these.. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255288316331?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1qXNGa9XqSTqXN5KMyLkhTA88&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=255288316331&targetid=293946777986&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=1007009&poi=&campaignid=17116423086&mkgroupid=134652533165&rlsatarget=pla-293946777986&abcId=9300856&merchantid=101732101&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4uaUBhC8ARIsANUuDjWugmxbPbcWquwKli5ktU4YzEeTEReqYmvmFa_vBBMMMl0x-esKCcQaAvRZEALw_wcB
@@chrispowell6594 thank you so much
Lost me when I heard the music
Really sorry there was a mess up with the audio on upload. Future videos will be double checked
The music is so loud, but that tank is so messed up like mine I will bear with it. lol
Really sorry there was a mess up with the audio on upload. Future videos will be double checked
Is it safe for the fish?
Only at certain levels. Ideally remove fish to treat the tank
2days in to my blackout hopefully it will be a good unwrapping 😂
Great stuff! I'm sure it will.... just don't peek!
@@chrispowell6594 ooo I’m trying not too I’m just received all my c02 kit as I think that’s the issue causing the algae in the first place 😂
@@apaquatics6172 good stuff! Lower your light intensity if possible for a short while after if you have lots of algae
The fire extinguisher will deliver liquid CO2 into the regulator, which isn't ideal (and could cause it to freeze). Admittedly your flow rates are likely very low, so this may be less of an issue than with other CO2 applications (like Sodastream etc..), but your safest bet would be to mount the extinguisher upside down.
Thanks for the comment Peter, it's a widely used method and like you state the low flow rate probably prevent damage to the regulator. I would only use the correct way up as upside-down would require some kind of stand 😀
People have been using the method in this video for 15 years or more
whats kind of lights are those? most lights I bought aren't that high
Hi, these are twinstar lights on standard mounts
what size is your tank sir?
45cm cube 🙂
Why was the music so loud
Also only thin bleach
You recharge it every month
I have a turtle and my turtle experts say that Purigen can be soaked in Prime, diluted with water, rather than pure Prime.
what kind of protein skimmer do you use?
