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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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) ?
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 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 most helpful video I've watched so far!

Thank you! Watched a few videos for beginners but you give some great new tips!
P.S. I love all your aquarium and plants set up in your house😍😍
Gathering supplies to set up a first time tank! Thanks

Good details explaination .Good job bro 🤷♂️, that's awesome.
Thank you for the video. Found it useful and concise.
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.
Can you use a used aquarium filter pad to quicken the cycling of your tank?
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
Love this guys videos
Great intro video, thanks for doing one for nubies!!
You could have linked all those videos you talked about in the video. Hard to find what specific video you are talking about.
Nice video. That’s a lot of aquariums dude. I don’t think you can ever move to another home 😅
This was very helpful thank you!!! 😊😊😊
Always pull used filters to start my aquariums..❤
yes we all need this video
Very cool 😎 video amazing information 👌 great 👍 job
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
What do you think about an under the gravel filter?
Very good explanation
My question with the sand is when you go to clean it, won’t the sand be hard to not suck up?
🎉awsome job explaining bro 😎
Thanks 🙂
6:40 I thought that was a dog but actually a massive cat. basically a mountain lion :)

Do you need aquarium lights if you have a natural light source?
Keeps my 20 gal in 71-75 F, perfect for my bettas, guppies, and tetras
6:40 photo bombed by kitty 😂
These vids are amazing, youre a ton of help!
I noticed you don't use covers on your small tanks, is there any difference. I'm thinking of not doing covers
God bless you
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
What if I use multiple filters
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've never had an aquarium, can I use distilled water to fill it?
Yes!!
Put soil first then then sand, never use gravel.
This video complicates things more 😢
🔥 video
You helpt me❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What if I have well water
Im just wondering if your floor is reinforced? Lol 😅
"it's better to over dose then under dose" yeah tell that to my mom who od on heroin
Do you need a oxygen tank for the fish tank or the filter is good enough
Filter is good enough
boss aquatics ahh intro😂
Looks complicated lol but will try
What cracking crip♿️
Nah what’s Braccin Blood 🩸
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!
man i thought i can just buy a glass box chuck a cool fish in with a few rocks and thats it
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
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.
