I am new viewer to your channel after UA-cam analytics suggestion. You have quite a few beautiful tanks. That 75 gallon looks awesome as it is. The fish are all healthy . Liked and subscribed to your channel.
I have a love/hate relationship with algae. I know it's usually not bad for fish and sometimes the opposite but I do lean on removing it. That said there is something very wild and natural about your tanks.
I use to fight with it but after seeing how awesome some of Lucas Bretz tanks were I decided to give it a try. It makes keeping fish easier and I've grown to love the look.
Your tanks are wonderful!! I love to see someone that is not all freaked out about algae. We want our tanks to be pleasing to us, but shouldn't we want the fish to be happy above all else? The love to nibble on algae and stuff with biofilm all day long.
@@IansFishRoom More people are coming around these days & realizing that algae isn't something you need to fight with or get rid of.. I look at it as an easy way to know my tank has balanced ! Once I have enough bacteria, The algae stops growing everywhere, dies back & leaves just a light coating on some rocks/decor.
Algae is fine. I'm wondering if the first tank doesn't have a bit too much light (or too long exposure) for the anubias within. Perhaps it would have less algae on the anubias leaves with less light.
Your red red floaters probably died because that tank has a lid. The lid causes perspiration and water on the top causing them to die. I'm not an expert, but I recently looked into floating plants myself. And having a lid is a nono.
MAGNIFICENT BEARD , Brother !
Thank you! I should have cleaned it up a bit for the video but it was a stay at home day.
First tank looks amazing. With a little cleaning it would look glorious
Thanks...but it was time for a change.
I think all your tanks look good thanks for sharing 💯👍✌️
Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Although I agree the 75g was awesome it was also time for a change.

Thank you! It took me a while before I really embraced the algae
You should put a couple piranhas in a 10 gallon tank and see what happens!
I vaguely remember what happens. One $20 dollar fish ate another one.
I had some weird white spiderweb algae for awhile and it looked cool, but didn't know what it was so I unleashed a Molly on it 😅
Not sure what that kind of algae would have been but it sounds cool
Looks great
Thanks!
Beautiful tanks! I love natural tanks that is how I keep mine. Bacteria and algae, natures filter 😁
Thank you!
Dude tore down a 100% perfect tank. 🤷♂️
Sometimes you just want to change things up.
I personally love algae! It's only helpful & great for the fish to eat
I'm glad I'm not the only one

I love an algae scape ! Rachel O'Leary had a black beard algae scape tank that was incredible !
That's one I haven't figured out. I'd love a blackboard scape!

Maybe. It was doing well until I missed a few water changes so I'm sure there was an imbalance somewhere.

I've had lids with floating plants before but maybe they are more sensitive.
