I remember when Dan’s fish was setting up their fancy water change and he had this problem. Needless to say, he worked through it. I found it interesting because I didn’t know that could happen.
Heating the super cold river water for their system is rare, but certainly was a tough problem. Their system is amazing.
I blow bubbles in my tank with a 70's CRAZY STRAW🤪
"The bends", or barotrauma is most common with catching rockfish. Gretting dragged from 90 feet down up to the surface suddenly can cause a lot of gas bubbles in soft tissue. That's why rockfish release devices are required in Wash state. I think we might require them in Canada now too.
Getting that kind of gas solubilty delta seems very difficult if you're not dealing with a large pressure differential.
Thank you for your video. I have had issues with goldfish dying in a 100 litre outdoor tank. I have checked all water parameters, PH etc and that's all okay, but I do have a sponge filter and a bubbler running. What you hve said makes me want to try one more time, but reducing oxygen levels dramatically.
very informative Bentley, another great video , tank you
The topic is very interesting and useful! I’ll watch the episode with great curiosity! 😊
Interesting topic Bentley. Thanks
If you felt like doing a future video that would explain difference between tetras and rasboras for us community fish nerds. Obviously size and shape are not good indicators, but I never really understood why one is a tetra and others are rasboras. No idea if anyone else cares, but I like knowing more than less. And super helpful to explain to new hobbyists we encounter. Thanks
it's 2 completely different species of fish... not even in the same family... that's like asking what's the difference between a Bear and a Horse is(obviously a bit exaggeration here) Rasboras are Cyprinidae (also called carps or minnows) and Tetras are Characidae, a Goldfish is more closely related to Rasboras than a Tetra is to a Rasbora
I mean you definitely can have too much CO2 in your tank (for some animals like amphibians atleast) but oxygen... definitely not... atleast not by any means a normal person could afford... bubblers etc don't actually put oxygen into water but the bubbles when they travel up to the surface they create gaseous exchange on the surface
soooo yeah definitely a 100% on this video
Bentley I use a Venturi on the return of the canister filter to add extra aeration to the warm water of my Discus tank.
Do you have more details on the Venturi you on the Canister return? Thanks
@@kapeta34 the canister is an Ehiem Pro 3 and the Venturi is also a Ehiem product.
Most people dont have enough oxygen in there homes.... So we already know your aquarium doesn't.
Appreciate you
random question is their any benefits in supplying oxygen at night like c02 during the day? and i do mean using a regulated oxygen from a tank.
Your air pump is putting your atmosphere into your aquarium. There is 21% oxygen in Earth's atmosphere. I am not going to lose sleep.
High oxygen makes tank more resilient to nitrites and ammonia - it boosts your filter bacteria, they need a lot of oxygen.
Bently, you've got hair, good one :)
Bentley, what hat is that?
@@bobpurcell3814 it's a special Mariners hat from the All Star game last year here in Seattle. A friend got it for me
Gas exchange: Yes, fish do fart. J/king
@@WeipoMingpo loaches especially!
TLDR. NO
Interesting thanks!
I don’t know.. I kind of like tin foil hat guy. He’s endearing, just a little lost.
no never too much.
OK HERE WE GO>>>>> would you run an "reverse flow" UG air filter on a dutch style tank???
Heavily planted 20 gal.long. 3in substrate compound substrate consisting of florite red, Akadama (extra hard), eco complete, Fluval stratum and crushed aragonite (for cal/mag),.
@@rgilroy1909 personally I would not, but that's just a want to bring things to the roots. Can it work? Absolutely
I had no idea there was a thing as too much oxygen where fish get the gas bubble disease so thanks for making this video.
I know you don't want to and pretty certain you won't....but brother you need to dunno that anoxic 40B and start over with Walmart cat litter. You'll lose ten bucks in that messy Saf T Zorn, but your tank will be clear the day after. As probably your biggest fan of anoxic filtration, it kills my soul to see your tank... Hahaha. Either way, mad respect for going down the road that most would never even consider with anoxic 😎🔥. Have an awesome day!
Tinfoil hat guy 😂😂😂❤
I recently added air stones to exciting aquariums, all planted and have sponge filters and or HOB. I feel that my fish are doing even better with the added surface agitation!
I'm glad you clarified the water change vs temp change thing. I was about to go heavy in the comments about this, but you fixed it.
