Build A Low Budget Planted Aquarium For Angelfish
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 січ 2021
- Today's video will show you how to build an Angelfish planted aquarium on a low budget. I have used 4 different types of substrate for planted aquarium. Areas that won't have any plants is filled with river stones. Spaces where I would place some plants have AquaEarth aquarium soil. Middle area is filled with 6mm white gravel and aquarium soil is topped up with 3 bags of 3mm brown gravel. To make this planted aquarium cheap to build, I have trimmed my stem plants in other planted aquariums and put them in this planted tank.
Aquarium plants consists of Water wisteria, Rotala, Bacopa and Java fern. A nice piece of driftwood is placed in the middle of the tank. Low budget planted aquarium does not only have free plants but they are cheap to maintain and also easy to propagate. For this community tank, I have added few angelfish, couple of German blue ram, dwarf gourami, swordtail and couple of kuhli loaches. Tank is running on a home made aquarium filter which is doing an amazing job.
I hope you would have enjoyed this low budget planted tropical tank video for angelfish, I really appreciate your time and would highly recommend subscribing for more updates.
Thank You

Beautiful job on this tank mate the divided gravel is awesome....nice mates for these angles too....great centerpiece too....angels were my first 43 years ago hahaha we are thinking of making another angel tank out of an old 120 we are reconditioning thanks for the inspiration!
Glad you like it and wish you best of luck in making an angelfish tank. They are lovely and slow moving fish.
@@Fishaholic yeah we miss em big time....we’ll get around to it for sure got a few projects we gotta finish first and the holidays and birthdays and open enrollment and taxes hahaha it al goes down at the same time putting a damper on our hobby hahaha
Bad time of the year, mine is around September every year when I have to pay tax, car rego, insurance and all that sort of stuff.
Wonderful bro
Thanks heaps bro
Mezing very beutiful i love it goodluck mr.
Thank you Anna
@@Fishaholic 👍🙏
Good job
Thank you
Amazing... 👍👍
Thanks heaps mate
Nice tank, but i dont think you can classify this as low budget 🤔
I had all the stuff required for the tank and built stand myself so titled it low budget. However, I do agree with what you said.
@@Fishaholic then change the title. You know exactly what you are doing by calling it low budget.
As low budget as you can get. Looks great for the minimal outlay!
.
Amazing
Thank you Zeeshan, have a good and productive week

New subscriber here.
I like the way you entertain queries in the comment section unlike any other channel. 😁
Awesome work on the tank anyway! 👌
Appreciate your subscription Francis, I try to do the best I can in replying to comments.
Video is really awesome. Request you to please provide some basic info like length of the tank, the thickness of the glass and the kind of filters used. Thank u.
Appreciate your feedback. Length: 120cm - not too sure about glass thickness. A homemade top filter provides filtration to the tank.
nice🥰😍
Appreciate your feedback
Beautiful setup...love it .
Could you share how to build & materials used for wooden stand? Also how much weight/water volume would it holds?
Hi mate, I do have a video on this stand uploaded couple of years ago. Not sure how much water it can hold but is holding a 4 feet and 3 feet tank since stand was built.

Nice bro
Thanks heaps
Thank aim from Indonesia bro.

Woww
Thank you Elank
Okayy fishaholic 👍🏻👍🏻
I have 2ft tank and now making angel community tank love your video ❤️ and got some ideas
Thanks mate, I have got quite a few angels and absolutely love keeping them.
So Nice 💘💘💘💘💘💘
Thanks heaps and have a nice weekend
hey just curious i found a bunch of eggs in my angelfish tankwith two angelfish so i know they breed and o have free swimming fry do i remove mom and dad and do i leave gravel and all decor in tank with fry
Hi Scott, it is upto if you want the parents to take care of the fry or you want to do it yourself. Young parents are more likely to eat eggs or fry but they will only gain experience if you leave the eggs/fry in the tank.
Hello. I didn't see the size of the tank posted. Obviously it's quite a large one. I would like to know how many gallons it is .
you are very creative in making it, I just bought a new aquarium I want to make a cabinet stand to make it look neat, hopefully I can make it later, can you tell me what filter you use so that your aquarium water is so clear????
I have built my own filter that sits on top of the tank. Aquarium is established with lots of beneficial bacteria that keep the water clean.
@@Fishaholic thanks info bro
NEVER put decorations dead in the middle, takes away the illusion of dwpth in a tank
good point imma change my layout tomorrow lol
Appreciate your feedback, never thought of it.
very beautiful video. Specifying the dimensions and thickness details of the fish tank would be much more appreciated.
Mantap bang pake bacgroun biru apa bang?
Beautiful..❤️
Instead of Multiple Layers of Different Soil..
Can We place One Slightly thick layer of Regular Aquarium Substrate??
Pls answer
Of course you can Rithik, use any substrate that you like.
Hello, what is the brand of your water heater? I'm having a hard time finding one with a great reviews. Great video and thank you!
I use any heater as they all do the same job. However, this tank has aquaone 300 watts heater. Its been working for over 3 years now.
I thought you said what brand of water
I like your plant layout but I don't like the defined difference in substrate colours. I prefer a more natural look.
Thank you Steve for your feedback. Black sand or gravel would have looked much better
If that's the low budget then what would be the high budget one?
Hi , can you explain for the dirt and gravel please?
Hi Kay, I have added aquarium soil for plants to grow and gravel to top it up so I don't have to add any fertilisers.
Nice mate. Do you fertilise the plants?
I don't fertilise the plants as the green plants grows like weed. However, red plants don't last a year.
Thanks mate.
I have a 55 gal / 208 liter. How many angels could I put in the tank?
Hi Lynne, start with 6 juvenile and you could always remove any that doesn't fit. There will be issues if any pair off when they are adults.
Great job 👍 what plants are they ? Cheers
He put the name of each plant on the screen as he placed them in the aquarium.
Nice. However, I feel the current may be too strong for those fish. Can cause stress...
what kind of filtration you are using in this aquarium???
Hi Souvik, I am using over head filter. I have uploaded a short video on it if you want to check it out. Alternatively a full video is scheduled coming Friday. This is something you could do for your tank too.
I got a 6ft 125gallon tank. How many angels would u recommend?
Hey mate 10 adults would be okay as per rule of 1 angel per 10 gallon and will give you room to add another specie if you would like.
Very nice build...whats the name of the background music?
Thanks mate, sorry don't recall name of music. Downloaded it a while ago from youtube library
@@Fishaholic no worries buddy !
Great job 👍 you should join my scape and stock contest 😁 just found your channel and gave that pineapple 😉
Awesome thank you!, really appreciate your comment.
Здравствуйте я смотрю Вас с Украины скажите а какие рыбки можно с золотыми вместе в аквариуме? Спасибо
As an experienced fish keeper, I enjoyed this video. Thank you. My only question: why are we spray painting the bottom of the aquarium?
Hi William, at the time of setting up aquarium. I had planned it to keep it barebottom and seeing a white styrofoam underneath the glass was unsightly
@@Fishaholic ahhh ok I was just wondering was there some trick here that I was unaware of ;) thank you!
@@Fishaholic and smart to do it anyway because you can always switch it out now to bare bottom tank later 👍
Thats true bud
There's always ONE bully in the crowd! The male GBR! I had one like that. Had to re-home him. He was a bitch to catch in a 75 gallon heavily planted tank. :-)
Agree Frank, once you remove the bully. Another fish will take its place.

Which type of filter was used?
Hi Sundar, My own home built overhead sump filter takes care of this tank.
Which water you used? Soft or hard? How we manage Amonia in planted tanks?
Hi Shan, it is normal tap water which is usually hard. Established plants along with a filter usually takes care of ammonia quite easily.
@@Fishaholic Thanks a lot for your valuable information. One more question: If a aquarium doesn't have plants, does filter will enough to take care of Amonia? What will be role of Air Pump in planted and nonpalnted tank? Your reply will be highly appreciated.
Yes of course, a good filter will take care of ammonia. My goldfish tank doesn't have plants as goldies will destroy them. Air pump creates surface agitation to oxygenate water. If your filter outlet can create disturbance at the surface level of tank then it will do the same job as air pump.
@@Fishaholic Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. Appreciate it. :)
What are the angels tank mates???
Hey Eddie, tank mates are dwarf gourami, German blue ram, swordtail and kuhli loaches.
Budget friendly my ass lol it is nice looking though
🐠🐱🌿🌿😀
Thank you
First. Tank size ??
Thanks heaps, its a 4 feet tank, 240 litre capacity. Have a nice weekend
Please share the filtration system
Hi Rashmi, there is a separate video named 'diy overhead Aquarium sump filter' in the Diy aquarium and pond filter playlist. It is the filtration system for this tank. Thank you
Bro is it safe when gaurami is tank mate for angel my 3 angel fries die because of gaurami
Take him out if aggressive behaviour is shown. Same rule applies to any other fish. So cool to hear that your angels have fry. How many are there?
@@Fishaholic 2 3 months old Angels I bought angel carp and 3 dotted gaurami together
No you should take the gouramis.
I had the same problem.
👍
👍👍
👍👍👍
Thanks mate
hi, may i know what filter do u use ???
I am using a diy overhead sump filter for this tank.
@@Fishaholic can u make a video on diy overhead sump filter ? or u got old video on making it??
@@Acidicjellyfish search for diy overhead aquarium sump filter on my channel and you will find an old video. Thank you
@@Fishaholic i saw it. thankss !!!!
Can you please tell from where you bought these angelfish from ?
I bought them from local fish store in Melbourne. Quite lot of shops sells these fish.
Ok thank-you
I thought that you purchased them online.
You are most welcome
Where did you get your substrate from
I bought it all from local fish shop in Melbourne
@@Fishaholic Ok thanks
Which filter using
Pls tell me broo
It's a home made overhead sump filter
How are you able to keep soo many angelfish without aggression
He doesnt, its made for 1 video, all these fishes not live there after video ends.
How much gallons is this aquarium
Hi, it's a 60 gallon tank.
Tank size wide and height please
Hi Farhad, its a 4 feet tank, height is 51cm and width is 37cm
Dimensions of this tank
Which media do u use
Hey mate, its 120x35x51 (LWH) in cm. I have used ceramic rings and later on replaced them with seachem matrix.
U shouldn't use power filter...
Appreciate your feedback
How many gallons?
Hi Jerico, its approximately 65 gallon tank
This is supposed to be done on a low-budget I’m guessing and straightaway you put in a load of expensive substrate in there if I bought all of that substrate local to me in the UK it would cost me around £60 if I went to the building merchants and spent a little bit more time washing it and used a bag or two of pond compost underneath the gravel I could do it for under £20 and I plants with thrive and so with the fish I think this is the hardest thing when trying to save money everyone stuck in the mindset they has to have the word aquarium attached to the manufacturing not the case. These are exactly the same materials used in the building trade they’re just package differently porn compost is exactly the same as the stuff we get in the aquarium store it’s just not rolled up into little balls and baked so you just need to make sure you It off to stop it messing up the tank
Tak mau dah..
For me, it is much more convenient to plant plants when there is a minimum of water in the aquarium. I advise you to try my method, friend
I agree, usually that's what I do but was eager to fill the tank.
Looks like way too much water flow for angelfish
I have slowed it down heaps now
That's not low budget Bro
It was nice but I think that's expensive
Thank you Lucas for your feedback
The sound of the drill bit skipping on the screw head. My ears they weep 😢
I know annoying and really loud, I did turned down the volume in that section of video but wasn't low enough
Can't call it a budget tank if you used a bunch of stuff you already owned for a massive tank lmao
Thank you for your feedback Austin
I have 2.5 feet tank plz tel the requirement..
Hi Gary, what's the total volume in Liter of the tank and do you want to know how many angels can you keep?
@@Fishaholic 120 litrs I want to set up planted aquarium so plz guide me...
Hi Gary, 2-3 young angelfish would be okay. However, when 2 of them pair off then 3rd would need to be removed
@@Fishaholic thank u sir n one more thing how many soil n substrate do I need for 2.5 tank...
It depends on you Gary if you want to place some driftwood and grow ferns on it then a thin layer of substrate will add to the beauty of the tank.
Hi, where on line do u order fish/angels
Quite a few online stores sell angelfish in Australia. But if you are some large fish then I would suggest going to a pet store.
Music very Bad
Sir is there any problem if we use a aquarium top for planted aquarium🤔
Please reply..
Hi Akshay, you mean floating plants or plants in a top filter.
@@Fishaholic i mean normal stem plants eg .Jawa fern ,water Wisteria , amazon sword.
Aquarian top means I am using a wooden lid to cover my aquarium
There shouldn't be any issue as I have 3 other tanks with top fully covered and plants are growing healthy and fast.
@@Fishaholic really thanks bro 😍🤗
@@akshaybabu3494 you are most welcome mate
Didn't wait for tank to cycle, overloaded with fish to start. Angel fish not for beginners. Planted substrate expensive and too deep. Beginner tank but high maintenance, constantly needs trimmed.
Thank you for your feedback
Wood was so cheap😥
Can't agree more
Not exactly aquascaping this, rather strange design
Appreciate your feedback Micha.
Not really "Low Budget" . No real explanation and what it cost. Kind of Click Bait move. Unless you do not understand the definition of Low Budget.
Looking to save money on plants? Just get them from one of your other large planted tanks!
...I guess everything is "low budget" if you own it already
Low budget ey
