I started with aquariums as a teenager. I’m 62 and haven’t had one for about 10 years. I developed an algae problem I couldn’t get control of. Got frustrated and quit. A friend is changing hobbies and I just picked up a 20. So lucky to have UA-cam. Looking for refresher courses. I subscribed because I am infatuated with your room. It’s so beautiful.
I'm a beginner so this was a good starter video for me. I am in the planning and learning stage at this point, and subscribed to your channel. Subscribed and will watch more of your videos to see what options I can think about creating.
Thank you very much for beautiful tips! What I like most about you is you explained it slowly, calmly and very clearly. I mean each and everything was quite crystel clear. As a newbie to this field, I am trying to research and gain as much knowledge as I can, but as a beginner, sometimes couple of things go above the head when I listen to some experts. This video gave me a great insight. Thanks again!
Watching this the second time, I have 1 20 gallon tank my daughter gave me and now setting up my Waterbox mini 25 at home vs the office :) very helpful information including you advanced stuff. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much. This was very helpful ... my daughter is upgrading and wants to give me her tank for my garage .. my goal for it is to use it to video tape crappie and bass baits that I hand-made. I may have small fish and sand with plants.
I'm 2 weeks in on a 75 gallon. I used flake food along with stability to get the cycle started. I'm seeing small traces of ammonia so hopefully I'm on the right track
I cycled my tank with 2 fancy guppies 😅 I got really lucky!! Then, I added 2 more tiny tropical fish 2 weeks later! I'm really glad I started doing more research. I was kinda thrown into it when my kid came home with a tank and 2 guppies 😂
Not sure if we are going to use real plants yet. When would we ad those? Trying to set a 55 gallon up for my 10 year old son that is easy maintenance. The filter will be here tomorrow! Already have a tank with lid. I will check out your other videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
1 thing i would like to mention here is that I have tried almost all of the aquarium planted stuffs, but believe me guys, the most effective thing is the most simple and very very very much money saving, that is go with organic dirt and go with best lights you think you can not afford. works wonders and complete stop to purchasing useless stuff. Just give it some time to mature.
If my tank is naturally at 76 f do I have to buy a heater? I’m setting up a small 10 gallon tank and am looking to have african dwarf frogs and maybe some guppies or danios along with the adf.
A friend of mine recommended, if using fluorescent tubes, having one cool white and one warm light is a less expensive alternative to purchasing full spectrum fluorescent bulbs.
He said he had more indepth videos on those subjects. This video was beginner basics..got what I needed out of it now I'm going to watch the further explanation🤷♂️
from what i’ve been told, substrate is only important if the plants get nutrients from the roots. I’m not 100% sure but I think Anubias get their nutrients from the water. If it doesn’t need to be planted then your fine (liquid fertilizer can be used to give nutrients to floating/ unplanted plants)
I have only one question how to clean aqaurium if you have like all covered grass and cant reach the sand or rocks? but there is some waste on the ground?
First thing we do in the shop is ask water type of tap water weather hard or soft next live plants or not that way you can customize the tank with the right substrates and fish
To changed the substrate in an already established tank would you just take the water out, keep it in buckets, add new substrate and then water back? (In short) ?
I feel like I didn't have much explained to me and kept getting hit with the "watch my other videos". This one wasn't helpful why would I watch them lol

This is the best fish tank setup video I’ve seen. Thanks for actually showing us. Just set up my 100 gallon
100$ deep already in this hobby, can’t afford being confused ✊💯
Squee

Good details explaination .Good job bro 🤷♂️, that's awesome.

I may have small fish and sand with plants.
Can you use a used aquarium filter pad to quicken the cycling of your tank?
Thank you for the video. Found it useful and concise.
I'm 2 weeks in on a 75 gallon. I used flake food along with stability to get the cycle started. I'm seeing small traces of ammonia so hopefully I'm on the right track

How's it going
Gathering supplies to set up a first time tank! Thanks
Great intro video, thanks for doing one for nubies!!

What do you think about an under the gravel filter?

yes we all need this video

Very good explanation
im getting two fancy goldfish soon i was just curious if they would still need a heater since ive heard there mainly cold water fish
Always pull used filters to start my aquariums..❤
Do you need aquarium lights if you have a natural light source?
I know he means well but damn bros so bad at explaining... 30% of what he said is just "this is complicated" 😭
yeap, doesn't know how to TLDR and simplify things. It's a Beginners Guide.
I actually understood him well
He said he had more indepth videos on those subjects. This video was beginner basics..got what I needed out of it now I'm going to watch the further explanation🤷♂️
Nice video. That’s a lot of aquariums dude. I don’t think you can ever move to another home 😅
Hey do I need absolutely need 0:16 substrate for any plants? I have Anubias plants and I have them just floating and moving around
from what i’ve been told, substrate is only important if the plants get nutrients from the roots. I’m not 100% sure but I think Anubias get their nutrients from the water. If it doesn’t need to be planted then your fine (liquid fertilizer can be used to give nutrients to floating/ unplanted plants)
I have only one question how to clean aqaurium if you have like all covered grass and cant reach the sand or rocks? but there is some waste on the ground?
First thing we do in the shop is ask water type of tap water weather hard or soft next live plants or not that way you can customize the tank with the right substrates and fish
My question with the sand is when you go to clean it, won’t the sand be hard to not suck up?
Do I need dechlorinator if I used bottled water
Chloride leeches out tap water after an hour it’s a supplement scam imo unless actively changing water
To changed the substrate in an already established tank would you just take the water out, keep it in buckets, add new substrate and then water back? (In short) ?
You could have linked all those videos you talked about in the video. Hard to find what specific video you are talking about.
6:40 photo bombed by kitty 😂
These vids are amazing, youre a ton of help!
6:40 I thought that was a dog but actually a massive cat. basically a mountain lion :)
I noticed you don't use covers on your small tanks, is there any difference. I'm thinking of not doing covers
🔥 video
You helpt me❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What if I use multiple filters
I've never had an aquarium, can I use distilled water to fill it?
Yes!!
God bless you
Keeps my 20 gal in 71-75 F, perfect for my bettas, guppies, and tetras
What if I have well water
Do you need a oxygen tank for the fish tank or the filter is good enough
Filter is good enough
This video complicates things more 😢
Im just wondering if your floor is reinforced? Lol 😅
Put soil first then then sand, never use gravel.
What am I doing here I have 4 aquariums
boss aquatics ahh intro😂
What cracking crip♿️
Nah what’s Braccin Blood 🩸
"it's better to over dose then under dose" yeah tell that to my mom who od on heroin
5 watts per 10 gallon, not one gallon.
What's your source for that?
I think you're wrong, it's definitely 5 Watts per gallon. The dude in the video was right!
Looks complicated lol but will try
I feel like I didn't have much explained to me and kept getting hit with the "watch my other videos".
This one wasn't helpful why would I watch them lol
3:48 You're fish are going to die. That's all I need to know. Tks.
man i thought i can just buy a glass box chuck a cool fish in with a few rocks and thats it
this was not too helpful. mostly he tells you to go see his other videos for more explanation.
Im so frustrated
what’s wrong
You don't need sand or gravel,carries bacteria. Better without.
Good details explaination .Good job bro ️, that's awesome.
