    First time coming across your content, I love it, new subscriber locked in. Look forward to seeing the next video. I think your channel will explode in subscriber numbers for sure. Your presentation and passion for the hobby is very clear and makes for an extremely engaging video. Best of luck from AUS 🇦🇺 with a Mexican partner as well ahahah and I did the same thing with the Northern Platy Fish now ended up with far too many.

      @ when you go past Sydney, make sure it’s the start of the month so you can check out some fish clubs! First Saturday of every month the NSWCS have meetings and the second Saturday the ANGFA NSW branch have them (many rainbows in AUS you’ll love it). In SYD pseudomugil signifer are in the wild as well, but most rainbows in the wild you’ll have to travel north of NSW for 👍

    @Humble_B-ro3pg Місяць тому +1

    Thanks for the tour, you have some great setups, and very successful fish room. You certainly know what you're doing.
    I humbly offer the following advice.
    Imo, That green hair algae in the betta tank, is feeding and thriving off the natural decay of the driftwood itself.
    Usually happens, after the slime buildup on it, then progresses and algae takes hold and thrives on it.
    Ive heard to prevent it, its good to have snails or otto cats to keep the wood clean, (pre algae) preventing the algae from starting on it. Getting critters that eat the algae may not solve the issue at this point. And may actually cause it to further thrive, adapting to the grazing, by taking deeper root and multiplying further.
    Since yours hair algae is already present. One possible solution may be to remove, and clean the entire piece of driftwood. Then adding the cleaner crew that keeps the drifwood clean preventing the algae in the first place.
    Or, try leaving it, and use a syringe with hydrogen peroxide to attack the algae.
    Be careful though, and dont take my word for it as Ive never personally attempted this. Then add the wood cleaners.
    Research the peroxide method and decide for yourself.
    The moss in the shrimp tank, I've seen happen in tanks that dont have enough flow.
    But adding flow would be a preventative measure. At this point, try doing a small overhaul and physically removing it.
    Not sure what else would help.
    Best of Luck 🤞🤞

    • @AquaticAscent
      @AquaticAscent  Місяць тому +1

      I've used the peroxide on bba and staghorn algae before. I may just let it go because I'm sure stuff will thrive in it. It's just a bit of a bother. I appreciate all the support. I'll keep this in mind for future setups for sure!

    • @AquaticAscent
      @AquaticAscent  Місяць тому +1

      @AquaticAscent  Місяць тому +1

      I think the most important part of a fishroom is an auto water change system. Even if you just do a rack of tanks. The auto water change makes it 10x more enjoyable. (At least with a lever to do it)

    • @AquaticAscent
      @AquaticAscent  Місяць тому

      I unfortunately do not have auto waterchanges, but I do have a system that makes it go by pretty quick manually.
      .
      When I move out from my dad's, the first thing I'll be doing is building the fishroom up and having auto water changes.

    • @AquaticAscent
      @AquaticAscent  Місяць тому +1

      Drilling is definitely the easiest way to go but some people do a siphon method. I think drilled looks the best and I care a lot about aesthetics in my room so I'll spend more time and money to make sure things look nice. I really regret not painting the back of my tanks before setting up this rack tho.

    I live in tampa, FL and raising cherry shrimps is a bi**ch for me despite having a 3 stages whole house water filter. tds out of the tab was like in the high 400. I was having some success when using ro water but then hurricane milton wiped them out. going to give it another shot when it warming up a little.

    For all of that hair algae, get some cherry barbs, people are finding out barbs eat hair algae, or get atleast 6 in one tank and see if they help at all, awesome video! Would like a day in the fish room video

    • @AquaticAscent
      @AquaticAscent  Місяць тому +2

      I hadn't heard that about barbs before! I may have to give it a shot. I'd like to setup a plant qt tank with a ton of amanos, assasin snails and I guess barbs to take care of any algae or snails before they make their way to my main tanks.

    I'm confused now.
    Don't plants use minerals in hard water? Doesn't water soften over time in a deep substrate, heavily planted tank?
    I've even seen reference to topping off with tapwater to replenish said minerals.
    What are your thoughts??
    Hard water in Midwest

    • @AquaticAscent
      @AquaticAscent  Місяць тому +1

      They use many minerals from the water like calcium, for example, but not all of them. My really hard water likely has some sort of pollutant in it, such as copper, but i haven't purchased a test kit for them yet. I'm just going to RO with shrimp from now on to have less chance of error.

      They are messy eaters. You just need to be more on top of them with water changes than usual and I have been really bad about that.

    Strange , my shrimp thrive in my hard well water here in se Texas. Lots of minerals and iron.
    Hope you can get that worked out.
    I also have green hydra in my shrimp tank, no planaria will also kill off the snails.

    • @AquaticAscent
      @AquaticAscent  Місяць тому +1

      I think it may be copper or other heavy metals leeching in because my house is so old. I got a new tds reader and most of my tanks were around 350.

      Unfortunately, no, I found it at a thrift store about 6 years ago. It's 9.78 gallons based on some volume math i did a while back. I would shop for "thick large glass vase". The glass is about 1/4in thick.

      That's next week's video! It arrives tomorrow, and I got the bulk reef supply system. Gonna focus on that, getting rid of Hydra, and fingers crossed, getting these corys to spawn. I've done cool water changes the last 2 days, and I'm hoping after tonight I'll get them spawning in the morning.

    Sorry to hear about the hillstream loach breeding project. Once your RO unit comes in do you think you'll give them another go? Would love to follow that process if you do

    • @AquaticAscent
      @AquaticAscent  Місяць тому +1

      I will definitely be giving them another shot! I don't know if ill use RO or what. Honestly, when I started that project, I think I just was not feeding them often enough as I wasn't hatching BBS daily like I am now. I also wasn't as on top of water changes as I should've been.

    Have you checked your phosphate lvl?

    • @AquaticAscent
      @AquaticAscent  Місяць тому

      I don't have a test kit but they are likely high out of the tap as I get a lot of diagoms when I first Setup tanks. It usually fades after a month once the plants are more established.

    • @kinglyzard
      @kinglyzard Місяць тому +1

      @AquaticAscent
      Diatomes come from your sand substrate and are normal. Algae blooms that are more serious are usually a sign of high phosphates.
      A layer of Flourite under the sand cap will prevent PO4 buildup.
      Water changes are the only other option.
