  • In this video we check out my friend Maggie's awesome fish tanks and aquascapes! Maggie owns a couple of large tanks, and lots of nano tanks which she loves to experiment with different fish and scapes in. She also has quite the talent for growing plants which helps to balance out my deficit in this area. I hope you enjoy checking out Maggie's tanks!
    Also... If this video gets 3000 likes we will go and do another fish catching/collecting video :D So if you'd like to see this make sure you give the video a thumbs up!
    I will also be uploading my Lake Tanganyika African Cichlid scape soon too, so be sure to subscribe so you don't miss it :) There is lots of great content from here in Australia coming up so stay tuned and hit that sub button if you want to see more from this channel!

    I cant believe such a beautiful and healthy planted tank could be working so well with no Co2 and also with no many other requirements. I think Maggie has done an amazing job there. I'm just looking forward to get my tank like that. Great video. Greetings 😊.

    That 5 foot is insane. Truly beautiful. Maybe one day I'll be in a house or an apartment where I feel comfortable enough for a tank that size. Also, Kaity, I think it'd be a good project for you to start a small planted tank. Nothing big but just getting the feel of it. No fish, just plants.
    I dived in with two feet when I first started this hobby and to date, I have still not been able to grow Jungle Val. It's fascinating really because I initially bought it cause everyone says it's easy! My recommendation, however, to replace your valliseneria is dwarf saggitaria. Much easier, somehow and is my most prolific plant.

    Hello Kaity,
    Thank you for the effort you put into your videos. Question please: How come hang on the back outside filters aren't very popular? I've seen canister filters on your tanks. In this video, Maggie has a sump filter. Is it because the hang on the back outside filters don't offer enough room for biological filtration? Thanks

    • @Kaityscichlids
      @Kaityscichlids  11 місяців тому

      Hi there!! Thank you so much 🤗 As far the HOB filters go, yes, it's mainly because they're quite small because they need to be light enough to hang on the side of the tank. They are really just the same as a canister filter, but attached to the side of the tank. Some people might also opt for a canister filter to hide the filter underneath the tank too

    Nice setups! BTW, that little green thing in the saltwater tank is Chaetomorpha linum, usually just called "chaeto" (pronounced "keeto"). It's a very useful algae, as Maggie noted it's usually found in refugiums. It pulls nutrients from the water as well as serving as a great environment for microfauna like copepods.

    5ft aquascape is great. I may have missed something, but I didn't see much flow in the nanoreef. Its always a shock for your first reef how much flow they can handle. "Low flow" for your softies is typically recommended at 20 times an hour "turn over" between all sources.
