Hi Zenzo
This is a dream come true!!! Thank you for answering my question about instant cycling😄😄
Have a great weekend & with love from the Netherlands 💚
Great video!
Thanks, Zenzo, for answering my question.
Best fishes and stocking ideas for each major tank size! & Species profile! ❤
Just cleaned my canister. I would love to see you break down ba canister and actually show how dirty the impeller and pump housing gets. So many people kill their filters by ignoring it.
For the topics though, please move those tanks for your wife!!!
Topic: in-depth descriptions, explanations, meds and progressive visuals (microscopic views too) of specific fish diseases being diagnosed and along their curing journeys.
could you show a update tour of all your tanks/fish showing off all the fishes?
Thanks you for the answer. 💪💪
I have a 20 long and all the levels are good but what ever I put in that tank dies within a day or so why does this always happen ? Thanks
Lol'd at the Canseco reference . This is a niche Q, so I understand if you don't address it in a video.
BUT, would you be willing to talk about setting up a sump, when you have tempered glass?
I have a 90g that I'm going to set up; and I'd rather have my thermometer and heater not have to be hidden in the aquarium by plants, decor.
Risks, how to, etc.
I have 9 Julidochromis Marliei in a 40 tank. I am looking for tank mates for them. Do you have any recommendations ? If there are any. Thanks
I have a 40g community mbuna tank. Can I add a peacock or 2? And which ones can you recommend?
I would avoid adding peacocks to a 40, as they get a little bit larger and prefer more open space to swim.
Hi zenzo, can you talk about why a pogostemo stellatus loses all its stems from the middle down to the roots. This happens to mine in all my three tanks. Thank you for all the videos. I never got bored of watching even when it's about similar topics. There is always something to learn. Thanks again.
I have those exact plants. Same thing happening. I believe in my case it could have been the floating plants restricting the light from reaching them. Also ramshorn snails eating budding leaves scince they are tender. It does not happen to all of them and that is why I suspect it could be lighting. This is just a recent thing since I let the floating plants go crazy.
Oh ok thanks for sharing that input. I have no flooding plans, and my lights are in a medium setting, so I wonder what s the deal is, lol
Check out green aqua water parameters vid. I assume it's a Kh/Gh issue that you're dealing with.
Oh ok I'll check that good point. Thanks, @Nabokovfan87
Most of the time when submerged plants drop their leafs its a matter of light.
What so you dye your hair with? I'm trying to do the same
No, my hair is grey/silver. Natural.
What podcasts do you listen to?
Mostly motorcycle racing podcasts, but also listen to the Aquarium Co-Op livestream podcasts, as I usually am not able to listen to them when Cory is streaming live.
Instant cycle? If I've learned nothing else, you have to have patience with this hobby so wanting an instant cycle is inviting disaster. Patience is the key.
7o😊
In a perfect world, yes. In an un perfect world, no. Cycling is one of those processes that takes time and patience. The whole point of cycling a tank is to create a balanced ecosystem. I don’t believe in the whole “instant cycling” thing cause “instant” would imply that you can say snap your fingers and bam it cycled. You can say bring some old media into an uncycled tank and swish it around for a few minutes to get a cycle started but the tank is still going to have to do its think over the next 6-8 weeks to be safe for anything. If you do a fish in cycle ( use with caution)or use plants that’s another story but may speed up the process. And that starter bacteria stuff is okay but it can go bad in as little as a couple hours to a couple days even if you brought a fresh bottle.
I dont believe in instant cycling i believe u jump start the process but not that its fully cycled
Fair enough. I guess it’s a choice of words that’s different, but essentially the outcome of being able to add fish immediately is the same. Thanks for the comment!
I've recently learned about heterotrophic bacteria that exist in a healthy ecosystem and they seem to be overlooked. Heterotrophic bacteria are different from nitrifying bacteria in their complexity and diet. Seems they can help the aquarium by eating bad bacteria and thus keeping infections down. Thing is, these bacteria seem to be larger than the pore size bio-rings provide and also take a lot longer to grow. They will grow in the mulm that accumulates in the sponge, but will get wiped out every time it's cleaned out. I'm looking into a big matten filter that many claim you will rarely clean out and see how that system ages. Planning on hooking up a hob filter I have running along with the new matten filter to get the new tank started. Built a jet airlifter myself yesterday, just waiting on the tank stand to come in.
Some info on the heterotrophic bacteria can be found below
