Danny i love the java fern babys. On amazon i purchase 2 inch pots and rockwool place the java fern babys in the pots and then trade them at my L F S for $3.50 each i have about ,23 cents in it so i make about 3.25. The store owner sells them for $7.00 everyone is happy. Its worth the time to me but im retired and have nothing but time. Thanks again for a fun video.
First problem is driftwood that won't sink despite boiling and poking holes in it. Second, driftwood that after floating from one end for months sinks after you have every nook filled with moss and now it doesn't get light and the things under it have to be rearranged.
totally agree with the drop checker thing😂
I don't mind the brown water & tannins, as long as the water's clean.
I like the darker, moodier tanks, especially when showing the various layers of a planted tank.
I don't use aquasoils. I just use clay, dirt & compost from my garden & washed construction sand capped with decorative sand or gravel.
It reminds me of those sand bottle kits that were so popular back in the 90s & it lets me see if there are any major changes to the biome.
Hey mate try sun sun Jy 03 its really cheap and easy to handle for a person like you just lift the Skimmer up from tank use your tweezers to remove sponge and all that's it
Omg the dark water drives me nuts! I only use Spider wood in bigger scapes. I find it stays does not leech much...if any at all. MOPANI is one of those woods that leech a ridulous amount. So i keep it to nano scapes that can be water changed more regularly. After about 6 months it does stop. At least for me. The bucket game is real!! I switched to a water pump and it's a game changer. I still have my siphon and bucket for through cleaning days when I want to really clean between the rocks and such. My personal thing I find annoying are my sons sticky fingers on my glass😅 complaining is fun 😂
You need to use Purigen; it does magic. And if you have a nano tank, use tea filter and fill it with a tea spoon of purigen and place it in the right order on top of bio media closest to the waterfall exit and a kitchen sponge cut in size on top of it!
@@juli8vdberg562 Absolutely 💯 I am a faithful purgen user! Thanks for the tip for the nano aquariums.
Great 10 annoying things about having aquariums. I agree the bucket game is no fun
( Kids ) Definitely the most annoying thing about keeping aquariums. Turn your back for two seconds then enough food and chemicals for about six months all sinking to the bottom. Bye bye 70% of my crystal reds 😢 life lesson to son when I made him conduct their feudal in the garden and 🙏 for the hundred or so little soul's
i hate brown water as well. it makes the color off on the plants. it would be good for a tank with drifttwood and javafern only😂
I like black water, and I like clear water, but I don't like the very light tannin that makes it look like pee water. lol
Now roast the API Water Test Kit 👏
?? What’s wrong with API test kits? (They’re not available in my country btw so I really don’t know lol)
Don’t use magnets. Simplest trick: Kitchen sponge and the green side of it; a biggest chopstick you can find and create your own easy simple most effective cleaning tool without even getting your hands wet! If so, always thoroughly wash your hands and wrist and lower arm if going into tank; hardscape must always be placed 3cm distance from glass and you can easily prevent algae and ugly dirty glasses and ruin your hardscape or disturb fish or shrimps
Do NOT!!! I repeat DO NOT use the abrasive green side of sponges unless you want to see the scratch mothership instead of anything else in your tank! I am predicting it’s too late, but stop now while you still didn’t see the scratches. They’re like cockroaches, when you see one, it’s never just one 😬 good luck 🤞
@@Danny-MOG which scratches? I don’t see any
When the light hits just right you’ll see them 🤭
@@Danny-MOG it is a very soft side and is a usual kitchen sponge ..
