Thanks for showing how you do maintenance. I think all your tanks look great and more representative of how I like to keep my tanks. I like that you use sponge filters too. And you’re so right about the detritus - all that “mulmy” goodness is why your tanks are so healthy and clear! 👍🐟🌱💕
Hey man. I just stumbled upon this channel. I absolutely love this fish room. In the future, can you make a video to kind of describe how you have each of your shelves set up and what racks you use? Thank you! I’m looking forward to more great content!
Fish Boy I’ll definitely be on the lookout for it! Is there any reason why you weren’t comfortable placing the 75 on the second shelf on the racking system?
Awesome vid...love what you are doing. I hope this is not out of line, but I have one note: It is important to have an air gap between the drip emitters and the water in the tanks in order to prevent backflow from contaminating the drinking water system. Every municipal code I have ever heard of has this requirement. Might be worth checking out. Not trying to call anything out, just thought you might want to know.
Thanks Dan! Yes I thought of that and for now I have multiple check valves and a plumbing piece that prevents back flow into my house water incase it makes it past the check valves, but will definitely look into keeping them out of the water!
How is the breeding going with the Sterbai Corys? Are you keeping them in a 10g or 20g tank? Thinking about trying to breed them as well and curious to hear about your progress! An update video would be awesome if you've had success.
Thank you Sir for sharing 👍 Can you explain more on the carbon block filtration for the incoming tao water? How often do you need to replace the carbon and what's rating on it? Any advice or information about it would be appreciated.
I see how you are filling the tanks but how are you removing the water? I feel stupid asking this question but it seems to me that you have to remove water first.
On the water change system do you run hot and cold At full power to your temperature control and what pieces are on the end of the sprinkler to make it set up to your refrigerator line
I have some micro Gobies that love burying themselves in light gravel/sand...it doesn't make a mess, but is clearly their preference. Wondered if cobalt Gobies would do the same if given option? (fair warning: it does make them hard to catch...had to almost completely drain and sift thru sand w my fingers)
I feel like breeding white clouds and get a big big school going, but every video I see they behave differently....do you feel they directionally school more, or they just hang out together like guppies?
Love sterbai corydoras! I want to convert my 40 breeder to eco complete but not sure if the cories will like it or my yellow acara that likes to up gulp up the sand
I have eco complete in a 90 gallon community discus tank and noticed some of my corys had worn whiskers and thickening of the skin around the lips from digging in it all the time. The corys are fine but are definitely affected by the rough substrate.
Do any of your fish ever go behind the matten filter? I used to have fish that liked to swim against the current and they would somehow end up behind the sponge
@@fishboy1415 awesome! I'll keep an eye out. The prices for them have risen a lot here in Puerto Rico. They are now about $8 a piece. I want to buy like 8; so that price is too high for me :/
this is becoming one of my favorite fish channels
Agreed!
Thank you!

by far the most structured fish room i have seen
I've only been keeping fish for a year and I've learned a lot from your videos. So thank you. I didn't know it would be so challenging.
Thanks for watching! It being challenging makes it more fun 😁

I love a clean fish room!
Thank you for taking the time to help other hobbiest by making videos. You are a natural! I have really learned a lot.
Thank you!
My brother told me about your channel and I just wanted to say your content is really good!
Thank you!
Where have you been all my life LOL! You have all the fish I'm interested in...what a fantastic channel!
Thank you!
Awesome video! Really like your auto water change setup. How often does it run and each week about how much water do you replace?
Awesome vid...love what you are doing.

one pf the best UA-cam channels i know
Thank you!
Hope you let us know how the breeding went with the Sterbai Corys and the conditions you used for breeding them. Thanks.
Will do! No luck yet
Great channel and very neat and clean room, btw.
More videos on the auto water change please. What do you do for drainage while auto water changing?
It's shown in better detail here: ua-cam.com/video/m1Uu7_Uf45M/v-deo.html
What root tab are you using. Looks like they do not float.(?) I like that!

Forgive me of you've shown it in a video, I could have missed it. But, what kind of lighting do you use for all your tanks?

Can you explain the rain bird system and the 3 attachment's on the wall, and links to the rain bird? :)

Fishboyusa.com coming soon!

Thank you Sir for sharing 👍

It's a whole house filter from Lowes needs to be changed every 6 months
Love your channel.

Love the content 👌 subscribed
Thank you!

I make the water temp come out around 76.. the last one in the system I use an elbow which I linked in the description

Not sure if they would, would probably be cool to watch!

Sterbai corydoras are poisonous but I do not know if it will affect us human , other fishes will perish if sterbai are highly stress in a small tank .
Super pozdrawiam serdecznie cię kolego👍👍👍👍
My main question with these auto water changing systems is where/how does the water leave the tanks?

@@fishboy1415 thanks!
Love sterbai corydoras! I want to convert my 40 breeder to eco complete but not sure if the cories will like it or my yellow acara that likes to up gulp up the sand
Not sure about the acara since I never had one but corydoras do well for sure!
@@fishboy1415 Thanks!!

@@mlandersdvm Thanks for the heads up.
Do any of your fish ever go behind the matten filter? I used to have fish that liked to swim against the current and they would somehow end up behind the sponge
It's happened once or twice, very rarely
How are you heating your fish room?
The dehumidifier and a small plug in heater
Nice!!!
The sliding tops on the 10 gallons, did you make those or can the be bought somewhere?
I made them, video coming out on them
Wow amazing setup. What substrate do you use?
Thank you! Eco complete
How many inches your substrate?
Was looking for you on aqua bid and for some reason could not find any of your actions?
You have to search by seller in advanced search
with your drip emitters how do you add dechlorinators to the tap water?
I don't add dechlorinator it goes through the carbon block filter first
I'm a new here but do you use ferts or co2
I occasionally use Thrive fertilizer, no CO2 in any of the tanks
What sponge filters you using?
Hydro 4 Pro
do you ship sterbai cories?
I will once they breed!
@@fishboy1415 awesome! I'll keep an eye out. The prices for them have risen a lot here in Puerto Rico. They are now about $8 a piece. I want to buy like 8; so that price is too high for me :/
