      I'd NEVER seen anything like this before, I've watched them take down other snails with the proboscis that extends out of their mouth but didn't know they could slurp up things as well, what a way to go!

      Really? That's really surprising, I mean I guess it depends on what plants your keeping? We did our big 450ltr this way as well, example ua-cam.com/video/soz0LfDOqxU/v-deo.html I think that's maybe the most impressive! (just a screen saver video, we will do a full build video on it once we get to the year mark, think that's at 6 months now) Appreciate the comment bud!!

Pleased you're still going strong.Circumstances meant I had no fish for a while but have gone bit mad lately and set up 6 small tanks with nano species mostly blue eyes species which I've always loved so far and some pygmy and habrosus corys.Have the pencils on order probably be the new year before they come.Really enjoying being back in the hobby and catching up on you tube channels.Stoked when I found you again always loved your species spotlights.Give my regards to your good lady I'm really impressed by your videos,you'll be making films next,Have a top Xmas and all the best for the new year.

      anubias barteri nana is 100% a great choice and I know you got on well with that one! When you get back into the game consider some subwassertang, we ordered some shrimp 8 months back and it had a tiny leaf of subwassertang which we forgot about and it grew into these great balls/clumps that don't fall apart, love it, very easy to grow with zero effort!

    • @Aquadiction
      @Aquadiction  Місяць тому +1

      So, for much of the video we were using the fluval eco bright 14w bulb because in the UK for the last few years we have had the highest electricity prices globally, BUT for a few hours here and there each day we were using the amazing Chihiros WRGB II Pro which brings out any hint of red like you wouldn't believe, its am amazing light, just wish they were cheaper to run the way things are! Thanks for your question, hope that helps :) So two lights and why some of the footage looks different to other times!

    • @Aquadiction
      @Aquadiction  Місяць тому +2

      Hi bud, that's correct no C02, No Ferts just the soil under the sand/substrate! The plants your talking about are Cryptocoryne Wendtii Red and Cryptocoryne balansae! We don't really test our water (old school fish keepers haha) but I went and checked the PH and its 7.8, hardness i'm not sure but I know our water is *very* hard!

  • @michaelschmitz500

    Hello, very nice new setup. How many liters / gallons does the tank have ? Is the foam-filter powered by air the only filter ? do you use CO2 ? best wishes Michael from Germany

    • @Aquadiction
      @Aquadiction  Місяць тому

      Thanks for the question Michael, so these are custom aquariums made to fit our racking exactly, I believe they are around 158 liters! Yes the foam filter is the only filtration used, and no C02 or ferts at all, just the top soil! Hope that helps :)

      So we did no water changes over the 380 days and just top off with tap water straight from the tap! For 60% of the time we were using a 14w bulb (because electricity in the UK is insane prices) and a 110W bulb the rest of the time which we would have used the whole time if electric wasn’t an issue! And we used no fertiliser or additives at all! About as low maintenance as you can get! Anymore questions let us know 😊
