Schöne, informative Tipps gerade für den Anfänger in unserem tollen Hobby! 👍Beim wöchentlichen Teilwasserwechsel nicht vergessen vorher den Heizstab auszustecken! 😉
Fantastic video. I used to be impatient when I first entered the hobby and dumped fish straight into an uncycled tank (1 week was not enough) and then 5 days later all my guppies were dead. Another good tip is to buy the best light possible from the off. I have spent hundreds of pounds on lights now and I wish I just spent the money from the beginning on my Chihiros RGBW Pro 90cm. It is all the light you will need for the size of tank I have and I only use it to 50% capacity.
@@underwatergardens709 I have only discovered your channel but your videos are so helpful. Even though I have been keeping plants for 4 years now I'm still watching all your videos. They are very scientific but so easy to understand. Good job. 😀
I'm not sure that the quarantine point makes sense without mentioning treatment. If the quarantined fish are able to manage a disease/pathogen etc, and so look healthy during quarantine, when you add them to the community tank they will still carry the disease and potentially harm your livestock? It might have been better to mention treatments at the QT stage...great video btw!
Good advice. As an additional note to the filter, buying new gaskets to the filter cost a small fraction of the price of a new filter, often around $5-20 instead of hundreds of dollars!
I recently reset my main tank but before I did that I started up another tank which I filled with as many plants I could (for cheap of of fb marketplace, and other 2nd hand sell websites). After that small tank got completely overgrown (thanks to a simple diy system I made too) I transfered atleast half of these plants and put them into my main tank plus the plants it already had. It's filled with plants now and fish and I almost have no algae. So in short. Grow out a ton of plants before you start up with your eyecatcher tank. It will save you a lot of money
You should never let kids play near your aquarium! 😂 They can dump anything, ANYTHING, in there the moment you let your guard down! Seriously, you're lucky if they only dump an entire bag of fish food. I've heard stories of kids dumping ashtrays, Kool-Aids, salts, ketchups....
Keep the aquarium away from kids, they are very curious and very destructive when stimulated. I've seen kids grabing fishes, yanking plants, pouring juice in aquarium, breaking glass.... Monitor your kids, teach them well and don't allow them close to aquarium.
As you said in first tip last Friday I just changed my fertilizer regime currently I am using apt complete but due to wrong guidance I added flourish trace to it and immediately all my shrimp died any how thanks for your advice sir thank you love from chennai India ❤
Try to use fert that don’t have ammonium in a tank that has more fishes eg.a few people who are new to planted tanks tent to use apt EI instead of apt 0 with so many fishes thing they could get their plants grow faster and vibrant thing to understand here is your live stock already produces ammonia so u don’t need to add them if you go for EI with so much live stock it will lead to algae bloom

Buy fish by impulse...
Very true! 👍
And buy on what your heart is drawn toward. Not what's popular
Toothbrush tip is good. I use a cheap one I bought especially for my tank.
Thanks
