This video cracks me up. It's so vintage with an ASMR narration, but still contains good information. Heating cables! Brings me back to the early 90's.
It has been 40 years since I have had an aquarium. I found this video to be VERY helpful in setting up a "live" tank. Using a heating cable was a new one on me.
Interesting video on how to set up a tropical aquarium. My dad had one for many years. I am considering to set up a tropical aquarium with my husband but maybe without the live plants for now.
I had one spot available. Bit it is in direct sunlight, near the TV and right on top of an electrical socket. I guess I'll find another hobby. But thanks, because unlike most other vids, this answered my questions in the first minute. Good job!
great video! With the lead recycling thing I highly doubt most retailers will responsibly recycle it. Might as well do it yourself, maybe smaller businesses will
I think this needed a disclaimer at the beginning warning viewers that this is a tutorial for an advanced planted tank set up. I love my planted tank but this is enough to make me run for the hills even if most of it is pretty good advice.
this is common, this is a biological bloom known as new tank syndrome, just let it settle on its own, this can last up to 2 weeks, whatever you do dont change any water this will prolong the cloudyness, hope this helps
I have found that using at least three inches of substrate will drastically improve the health of the aquarium and thus the fish. Once I learned this I never had a fish become sick. New fish might come in sick, but not the established ones. I also would run a small uv light, five to ten watts.
AAA this is so helpful thank you!! I haven't been allowed to get a mouse because they're "too high maintenance", so I've been told to get fish instead. fiSH ARE WAY MORE COMPLICATED. AAAH.
live in a spa town and we have a natural spring. water filters through the earth and comes up to a fountain it is very soft and pure.it has been for 1000s of years. is it good for an aquarium
I have a 75 gallon tank sitting around. It has a huge pump and I want to get it up and running again. Last time we had a hair algae problem, I want to grow plants but I cant afford the heating cables and fancy minerals I need to grow them. They always grew fine for me, but got too big. This time I want to run a tank with just some Neon Tetra, and a Red Tailed Shark Minow. I would also appreciate some recommendation for underwater grass. That doesn't get too big. Something for the fish to swim around in. ( I have a pump, a heating staff, sand, and gravel to work with. That pretty much it. I just wanna keep neon Tetra and a Red Tailed shark since they're my favorite and I've had a red tailed shark for 4-5 years before he died, very hardy fish.)
Would you please tell me ..how many hours should i keep heating this cabel per day... should i shwitch it off. Or should i keep it in on continously postion hole day...
Hey sir , can we use artificial turf inside aquarium tank or it can give harm to fish skin? Secondly can we use RO water in place of tap water for a fishes?
When my dad got me my fish he put this liquid in the tank which keeps the water fresh and he fist put the wire win which connects to the filter then afterwards he put the gravel over the wire and then fill it up with water then that liquid then your done Jobs done ✅
During the CO2 portion of the video (~11:30-12:00 min mark) there is some type of a connector for the CO2 and water pump. This connector is used to disperse the CO2 via the pump. What is it called? I can't seem to find it with any searches.
Is it ok to plant new plants in my already set up tank with substrate additives underneath sand that has been running for a few weeks? Or will I risk the additives leaking out into the water?
I'm looking to breed shrimp. I purchased a 10 gallon online along with a filter, liquid co2 java moss and some lights. I also have an air bubbler and fish food left over along with good substrate. I have my tank and my shrimp come in the mail TOMORROW but because of the way the mailroom works at my college I can't get the substrate, filter, co2 or java moss for another 4 days after my shrimp arive. Is it okay to leave them how I got them for that time?? Or should I try to introduce them to tap water? I purchased a litter of beta water just in case. Btw I have 30 shrimp on the way. Even if I just separate half and save them what do I do!! Please help me
4:48 25 watts? Why would they make the 75 watt, 25 foot, one that I have buried under 6 inches of gravel and soil? What's the temperature roots can handle well? Anybody know?
Wow, they do REALLY complicated set ups in Britain I guess. I don't use half this stuff, yet my tank has a healthy plant, and fish. Each to their own I guess!
can you help pls, cant get proper mat (between tank and base ) poly/carb packing will work but have the same supply prob. tank is a four footer,what else can I use ??????
Zara Saman when cleaning a planted aquarium you leave the plants in place, you clean the gravel, glass and decorations normally. Although when you get close to the roots of the plants just place the gravel cleaner on top of the gravel
Martin Welters looks like late 90s the basics were covered more than adequately, best methodology is subjective. There's hundreds of different schools of thought and methodologies out there and everyone thinks they know best. Long story short... there is no objective best way
You have external filters with heater on them, so you dont have to use a heater inside your aquarium. Many brands have them like Eheim or Oase. They are a bit more expensive but it makes your aquarium looks nicer.

I suggest to watch this @ 1.25x speed
Thank you
Thanks. You're a champ.
Thanks!
i dont even have a fish tank and i dont intend on buying one... but this video is so nice and soothing.....
I wish I knew how to save a video. This is so excellent. Better than a book.
i really love that sims 1 was involved here.
I have never found a comprehensive set up guide like this.
Very thorough, very carefully put together, well thought out as it covers all basic essentials.
Think I’ve already watched this 5 times but it’s so good!
Thanks for the informative and easy to follow instructions 😀 👍👍
Best vid I've ever watched so far. Thanks for the infos!
great video! With the lead recycling thing I highly doubt most retailers will responsibly recycle it. Might as well do it yourself, maybe smaller businesses will
Nice and Knowledgeable Video...!! :)
This is brilliant. I love all the details and explaining how and why. Thank you so much. :-)
Only good video on UA-cam for set up lol 💯💯💯
I think this needed a disclaimer at the beginning warning viewers that this is a tutorial for an advanced planted tank set up. I love my planted tank but this is enough to make me run for the hills even if most of it is pretty good advice.
Beautiful!! Wao what great info i love it!!! Happy holidays!!! I need one for my kids they love fishes !
Lol why is this under comedy! Easily the best tutorial on the tube!
this is common, this is a biological bloom known as new tank syndrome, just let it settle on its own, this can last up to 2 weeks, whatever you do dont change any water this will prolong the cloudyness, hope this helps
good video but im not sure if i need to install the substrate heating cables but it sounds right
Tony Scimeca it’s the old style people did before modern tank heaters. These ones are not very safe and impossible to find nowadays.
Cool video Rob
very well made. I needed it. thank you.
these two videos are so technical... it feels like setting up an planted aquarium is quiet a tough job.
but.. i will still do it.
finally a british made tutorial - no nonsense.
The cories should have a sand substrate so they don't damage their barbells :)
Kat Brennan I have mine in gravel
Thanks for the video. Do you have to do water change during fish less cycle?
I love that he even puts rocks on a spinner, this dude thought of it all
👋 your awesome.

Absolutely wonderful video. I hate English people , butt you guys are so perfect. Very educational.
live in a spa town and we have a natural spring. water filters through the earth and comes up to a fountain it is very soft and pure.it has been for 1000s of years. is it good for an aquarium
mind is blown by this
this is the best thing ever
the best vidio tutorial ever !!!
4 inches of substrate? My man Dustin said 2 is enough. I'm confused.
Probably because it has a heater cable under it.
I think some plants need, or might do better in deeper substrate.
Thanks
siva kumar You're welcome.
The aquarium store that I go to sold me two plants that are not to be pushed into the substrate. I had never heard of that before.
Awesome explanation
Some great tips and useful facts thank you

very helpful video, thanks for the upload!!
Would you please tell me ..how many hours should i keep heating this cabel per day... should i shwitch it off. Or should i keep it in on continously postion hole day...
My sister has two fish in my aquarium and she says it's our aquarium but I do all the cleaning and the water changes and testing the water
wtf?
I know right!!
well its your aquarium
Don't argue with her let her think its hers also , your the one who's gaining experience and knowledge , shes not
Yea but who bought it
In this DVD :O When was the last time I heard that
I have a 300 ltr tank with just gravel can I use potted plants in it or would it be best to empty the tank and start again .
beautiful. I plan on doing a 30 gallon planted tropical community
This video helps me alot , i watch the whole thing lol
Thank you sooooooo much for sharing information
What Plastic paint did you use? I'm having trouble finding it. All I find is canned Spray paint. Please this would help a lot!
Excellent tutorial. But it's cut off at the end. Is there a part 2?
yes
Your new subscriber.
#.beautifull tank...
What clear plastic paint did you use to seal the wood
what this taught me is that i need a professional for setup
How do you clean the aquarium ?
Do we need to remove all from the tank ?
To B Orio: You got the spelling right. I liked "detritus". You don't get to use that word often.
I live just above the equator, i wouldn't need the heating cable right?
Hey sir , can we use artificial turf inside aquarium tank or it can give harm to fish skin?
Secondly can we use RO water in place of tap water for a fishes?
Well ,most important question,how often you have to water your plants?
Lol

Super informative video.
do u need a cable along the bottom of the tank for plants?
Andrew cheeseburger not necessarily
I just use root tabs, and my African Sword plant is huge!
Thank you for such an informative video.

Out of curiosity, why was there a fish in the bucket with the bogwood?
what is the product name of the nitrite powder and bacteria that you used in your aquarium?
What's the brand name of white bacterial culture that you crumbled and scattered on top of laterite? at 8:22?
Btw, what's the formula for that sugar + yeast thing for CO2?
Very informative video. Thank you.
Hi, i would like to ask if i can add sand or gravel after i fill up my aquarium with water? do i must remove all the water first?
No ofc you don’t
What a great video!
do you turn youre heater off when adding stuff and filter?
4:48 25 watts? Why would they make the 75 watt, 25 foot, one that I have buried under 6 inches of gravel and soil? What's the temperature roots can handle well? Anybody know?

How do you clean aquarium?
If needed to clean, all things should be taken out?
Zara Saman when cleaning a planted aquarium you leave the plants in place, you clean the gravel, glass and decorations normally. Although when you get close to the roots of the plants just place the gravel cleaner on top of the gravel
What should you do with your fish while the 24 hrs?
Very informative
This is relaxing to listen to
How much yeast and sugar and stuff do u put in the bottle
It makes a nice drink.
which fish was that in bright yellow color. Please tell i want that
Pretty sure it's a golden gourami
When did they make this video?..... 1970?
There are so much more and better ways to setup your aquarium now a days.
Martin Welters looks like late 90s the basics were covered more than adequately, best methodology is subjective. There's hundreds of different schools of thought and methodologies out there and everyone thinks they know best. Long story short... there is no objective best way
They made it four years ago 😆
very informative. thanks
got any ideas on how i can put soil in my already full aquarium without emptying water.or do i have to empty it .70 ltrs full l0ls?
will the plants be able to drive with out a filter
is there another alternative for a heater cable?
You have external filters with heater on them, so you dont have to use a heater inside your aquarium. Many brands have them like Eheim or Oase. They are a bit more expensive but it makes your aquarium looks nicer.
What is the filter used in your video? Thanks!
so if your heating wattage is 50 can you not have live plants??
Watching this has definetly put me off getting fish. Very clear video though!
Why
Instructions unclear fish drowned
Aye Xany have you tried to disconnect and connect it ?
Have you tired to reset it?
You're all dumb, just replace the batteries
What do fish drink?
Fish CAN drown if the water doesn't have oxigen tho...
i just started a aquarium and out some of the bacteria in a bottle in a few days ago which has clouded my water.. what should i do?
this is common, this is a biological bloom known as new tank syndrome, just let it settle on its own, this can last up to 2 weeks, whatever you do dont change any water this will prolong the cloudyness, hope this helps
do you need a heating cable?
very good
