Aquarium Water Change - Fast and Easy (HOW TO)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- Fast and Easy aquarium water change for your Fresh Water Fish Tank. Water changes are a must in this hobby. The build up of nitrates and loss of essential water elements can harm or even kill your fish. But aquarium water changes do not have to be a burden. We can do an aquarium water Change very easily using a Python. The Python is very useful in eliminating the need for buckets and buckets. I also discuss the products you MUST use and some optional products I use to keep my fish happy and healthy. (Also we re-introduce a bully back into the main tank)

How do u you the temp is correct doin it this way ? Thanks
You went from seeking 1k to 28.9k in 11 months. Well done.
Hey quick question, do you add the tap water in straight and then put the dechlorinater in the tank? Or do you have a bucket of water with already dechlorinated water?
You did it, keep it up!!
Isn't harmful to use city water pouring directly into a fish tank when you change the water and is inside the tank? and what is the best water conditioner or treatment can use to make sure doing best water change without losing fish.
I'm new to the hobby and I'm trying to make sure I understand everything before I even buy my tank. Your videos have proven very useful so far. Thanks.
Awesome! Glad to hear it 😊💪
Yea his videos are straight to the point, no super long rambling, and he knows exactly what he’s talking about
I missed it if you discussed water temperature you’re adding
I got one and it works great! Cut my time way down.
How has your journey been?
Great tip! Saved me a lot of hassle. I bought the 12 meter version and connected it to a shower.
I dig the format of your videos man. Simple, straight to the point, no BS. I also really like how you touched on a key point - CONSISTENCY! It's a myth that doing large water changes will harm your tank, providing you keep the new water consistent with the old water. Thank you for the content!
Thanks bro! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Very good information. Ive had my gold fish for 2yrs and i still keep learning new things. Thank you!
Glad to help
Thanks man successfully did my first water change!!
I love your videos man! I have learned soooo much thanks to you! I’m three months into my aquarium journey and absolutely loving it!!!
Glad to hear it bro! 😁💪
Thanks man appreciate your time spent on the video. Straight to the point 😉
Thanks! I have an updated version as well, check that one out too - ua-cam.com/video/y2rOo5UcO94/v-deo.html
Great video man! this is very helpful especially for beginners like me. Water changes have been tedious for me and Ive been trying several ways but this one works for me. Keep it up!

Thank you!!! I'm planning on starting up an axolotl tank this year and this is great!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your new tank! 😁
I'm from South Africa, and uptaking my hobby again after almost 20 years. It's overwhelming to walk into petstores and not recognizing anything other than tubing, some fish & driftwood haha. Appreciate your videos in refreshing and helping me understand avail products and practices used with success.
My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful 😁
What’s up kev I watched all your videos and did it step by step and now I’m a African cichlids owner I’m still watching all your videos to make sure I’m doing everything rite.... thanks u

Im watching so many of your old vids and learning so much my cousin gave me his fish because he wasn't gonna have the time to care for them any more. So now I need to become a pro at water changes quick!
Thats awesome! Glad you rescued those fish and glad I could help get you up to speed 😊
@@KaveManAquatics Most definitely I appreciate the time you spent making this wonderful content.
Thank you admin, I setup my sponge filter, it is working perfect.
Great 👍 Glad I could help!
Eco bio stones work great for cycling the tank and water clarity. Reduces tank maintenance also.
Been loving your content. Has helped alot with our first "big" tank at 150 gallons. Our water is looking great and can honestly say it's mostly been your videos that has got it there
Thats awesome! Love to hear these success stories, so glad I was able to help! 😊
I really like your videos they are always easy to understand and helpful. Ty!
Glad you like them!
I have that jbl speaker too!
Nice vid and very cool pump!

A friend just told me about the python. gonna get one of those. You taught me a couple of things today.
Awesome, mission accomplished then! 😊👍
Thats animal abuse python are too big for any kind of aquarium they need wildlife
@@bryanvandenheede9168 it’s not a literal python snake i think they’re talking about the siphon thing lol
Ya bro. Iv been using a tube with no velve. Happy to see how hard iv been working. When I should have been working smarter. Lol

@@KaveManAquatics thx a ton
very cool
So helpful
Glad to hear it! 😁
great video! I was wondering how you were able to siphon the water back into the tank? did you connect it directly from the faucet, and if so, how did you dechlorinate it for the fish? did you add it before adding the new water or simultaneously? thanks!
Thanks for the help! We just got our fresh water tank a few weeks ago for my 5 year old (he’s obsessed with marine life) only tip is to lower the background music 🙏🏼

Lol 😊
I have an 87L tank and I have these huge 40L rubber buckets, works a treat, i use a standard gravel vac and remove about 35L and then put fresh water into my rubber bucket with API stress coat. It ends up being about a 40% water change.
Nice! Keep that tank clean! 😁💪
Ur videos are very helpful thanks !!! 🇧🇳🇧🇳🇧🇳
My pleasure 😊
Man I wish it if I can have your old tank since you have two huge ones so I can start the hobby with ya. Plz make more videos 😁😁😎👍🏼😌
Imma follow u not only cause i dread water changes but cause u fine affffffff
🤣🤣😊😊
I go with 50% water changes every week. It gets rid of ammonia, makes my fish healthy, and gives me a workout. So it works for me!
I forgot to mention, my fish seem to be fine after the WC, so that’s what I’ll stick with. 😂
@@tassodemo2316 is it better to change all the water or just leave half and than put new water in it? Idk how
@@omarr8k635 that’s completely dependent on you. 50% can do a lot to your water and help keep it healthy, and 100% can be fantastic for a tank but it’s not necessary (unless you have a massive ammonia spike or your water is very dirty). So, it’s entirely up to you, if you want to go the unnecessarily safe route and spend a while, or go to the necessary safe route and spend less time. Though, both are great options (anyone correct me if I’m wrong)
This is so much easier than what I usually do I didn’t know you could just pour the dechlorinator in the water while you’re doing the water change otherwise I would’ve just used a hose to begin with I thought you had to let it sit in the water for a minute for it to kick in (so I would pour the water into a bowl or bucket add D chlorinator to it and then scoop by scoop slowly refill the water)
Yup, maybe old school dechlorinators but Prime is very safe and can be added right to the tank. Glad I could help 😊
i used to do the same too it was so annoying😭😭
Kave, nice video tips. Thanks. Just curious, how many air pump are you using in this particular aquarium?
Hey kev! Going through your old videos. How do you get the new water to match the temp of the tank water?
Hello, love the video. I have a question... what if you have hard water and have a water softener because of it. Is there anything special I would have to do? Thanks...
love your videos. I have done so much research but can never get enough. I have myself my very first fish tank and a big 75 gallon tank at that! In a few weeks I’ll have the water parameters good to add fish. I had a question in regards to maintenance water changes. It’s obvious I need to add dechlorinator to my water but….. When the water has been taken out of the tank…Before I add the new tap water ...do I put the dechlorinator in the current tank water then it’s safe to just pour tap water into the tank with the fish and old tank water!?? It Just sounds weird that I could put tap water in the tank right away after putting in the dechlorinator in the old tank water. or should I add tap water to a bucket with the declorinator before I put into the tank directly or is that being over cautious? I just want to make sure I don’t hurt my fishies when I get them. I may be asking a silly question but better safe than sorry I just want to take the correct steps when doing my weekly changes. Is it that safe to do so? Thank you for all the education videos.
People might also do a % water change (meaning more or less ) due to the water quality of the fish tank at that time.
Just wondering, do you dechlorine your tap water for couple days before your put to the tank?
So my question is when you do the water change do you just add tapwater back in from your faucet? I have angelfish, glow fish types and sucker fish, in my tank and Im still new to fish keeping. But I have not familiarized myself with adding water or doing a water change and how I’m supposed to go with the type of water to add back in I have a 110 gallon tank. Basically what I’m confused on is when you add the tap water into your tank so you put in the de-chlorinator before adding water into the tank or after. Cause I know you said you do a pre mixed bucket for your certain fish but idk if I should do the same to mine since mine arnt the same fish
What is the best and reliable battery operated air pump to buy for my 50g aquarium?
Do you have a video on how to use the buffer and the lake salt
I think I get into it here - ua-cam.com/video/4F6zhccDam4/v-deo.html
and here - ua-cam.com/video/I06SM0d5SYw/v-deo.html
Love these videos! I went to buy a goldfish for my son, got chatting to a guy in the shop… needless to say I didn’t buy the goldfish and things escalated quickly. We love it and my 7 year old is super into it too!
So, I bought the set up, bought the dechlorinator stuff, bought the starter bacteria and dosed as per the instructions, left it for a week and the levels were nice and low (though my strips were saying there was very low ammonia, even though there was nothing on there, so that’s first question). After a week we went to buy fish. About half what the tank capacity it going by the 1cm of fish rule and I’ve been continuing to put the starter bacteria in at the start up rate because my levels are still higher than it should be. A week later I’ve spiked and I’m scared. If I do a 50% water change (with dechlorinator stuff) reckon it’ll help? Another video you did said I won’t loose my beneficial bacteria that I’ve got but realistically with the amount I’ve put in (daily dose for a fortnight) I don’t understand what’s going on!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, we’ve already had one die because the others bullied it and were pecking at it 😭

Hey there, just found your channel and love it! What would be your advice on this but for a tropical tank. I take it you can't put straight from the tap into the tank and wait for the temp to balance?
Glad you found it also! 😊 I adjust my temperature at the tap to match the tank before sending the water to the tank.
The python!!! 💪
Great tool!
Do you need to get the water temperature off the faucet to match the water temperature in the tank before putting the water back in the tank?
I’m new to this hobby I have a question for you for 5g tank how much prime should I use?
Thank you!! Question??? Is that the Aqueon 54 galytank?? Just bought it......where did you get top??
mrjc12 Not sure What tank this was. I picked it up second hand online. It was a great tank but I’ve already upgraded it.
Do you add the chlorine killer after the water is in the tank?
Great video ..But I couldn’t here your voice over the music! Also I would have liked to see the workings of the python plus how you control the water temp...thanks

Thanks doing this video i it helped me to change my water, it’s only been a few months I start keeping Fish and I have Malawi is in my tank I have a peacock yellow lab harps and Fronterra doing well in the tank but sometime I’m concerned about the water getting bit cloudy any advice on that please reply

So if I am understanding correctly, you are adding the dechlorinator all at once? Do you mix what's needed for the entire tank volume and add it before you add the tap water?
I haven’t done a water change in months & my tank is as healthy as ever. I top my tank off with RO water, my plants handle all the nitrates in the water. I also have a fluval 307 with a uvc on the output. I test my water weekly and haven’t seen nitrates rise above 0 ppm. I gave it a month before rinsing out my 307 filter without changing any of the media to see how it handles the water parameters, so far it’s been clear water, thriving plants and stress free fish. They really like to swim in my wave maker during the day, at night they just chill still. I have driftwood that some plants are attached to, they have controlled most of the outcome of the water. I only know thing because my nitrates are so Low, prior to this they’d peak at around 3 weeks before I’d take 30% of the water out and change. Since the addition of new plants and better filter, who know how long before my next water change.
Yes plants are a great help to keeping nitrates low, even at 0! BUT, water changing isnt only for the purpose of removing nitrates. There are other benefits to water changes, this should be helpful - kavemanaquatics.com/aquarium-water-changes-necessary/
Great video, i have one question, when I put the prime in the water, should I add it after I put the water in the tank or before I add it to the tank, in a bucket? Thanks
Add the prime directly to your tank, just before adding in the new water. Here’s an updated video fir you - ua-cam.com/video/ur6PMwbUiK4/v-deo.html
I dont even have a fish but i enjoy your videos lol
🤣lol That’s awesome! Thanks for watching, maybe one day you’ll get some and love them! 😊
How large of a dose of prime do you add to the tank before adding your tap water in to ensure the chlorine does not mess with the fish?
When your using the hose to fill the water how do you get the perfect temperature ? Do you check is with the tap flow before adding ?
Correct. Once the tap is at the right temp, then I send it to the tank. 😊
Thanks a lot. I don't know what took so long to find your helpful videos. Whats the size of this tank ?
Thanks, this tank was a 48 gallon Bow front...I have since upgraded though...check the latest video 😊
hi man i have a 55 gallin and a 20 gallon sooo i subbed
Awesome! Thanks for the sub! 😊
@@KaveManAquatics dude can i get a shout out plzzzzz my channel has onlu 180 subbs plz shout out on next vid can u ask few of ur viewers to sub to me me iff u want yes or no ur wish
Can I use spring water ? My house water got to much iron
Can I put the small middle piece with the valve in the dishwasher to clean it? My python doesn't have as much suction as it used to
I wouldnt, dishwasher get very hot and can melt the plastic
I’m new the hobby and I’m confused about dechlorinating. Do I add it before adding untreated tap water? So, putting the full amount in for the size of the tank and then start introducing the tap water?
Also, how do you manage to add tap water that isn’t pre heated? Any help is a massive help lol
Great videos! I have learned a lot from your direct approach. How do you monitor the temperature of your water from the tap? I have been using buckets for years because I haven't figured out how to make sure the faucet temperature is the same and doesn't fluctuate.
Thanks, I just use a handheld thermometer under the tap, adjust the hot and cold until I get the desired temp and let’er rip 😊
i’m very new to this so i gotta ask can you just use dechlorinator if you don’t have the other stuff? also if you have a 10 gallon fish tank how much would i have to use?
This might be a dumb question but I'm going to ask anyway. Since you are running the water directly from the tap, when do you add the dechlorinator? Do you add it to the water that is left in the tank before refilling?
Correct. Heres an updated video - ua-cam.com/video/y2rOo5UcO94/v-deo.html
BTW, no dumb questions here 😁
What’s going on I just subscribed to your channel!Very informative And profession love your editing skills! Question the T-shirt you have with the fish in the front of it,do you have T-shirt in black. Oh yeah by the way thank you for your service!
Thank you! Yes I do, follow the merch link from here - koji.to/kaveman_aquatics
Im new to the aquarium life. Question. How do you know how many gallons of water you’re taking out & how much you’ll be putting back in? How much conditioner & stress coat do you add?
Its based on your tank size. If you have a 30 gallon and take out half of the water you removed 15 gallons. So you dose your conditioners accordingly. I always add prime for the total volume of tank water.
I highly suggest you check out my playlist for beginners. It'll be very helpful for you 😁 - ua-cam.com/play/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er.html
Hey, I’m new to the hobby and I’m about to to my first water change. I’m wondering if i should treat the water I’m going to add in the tank in the bucket or treat the the remaining water in the tank and then add the new water?
Recently our tap water has more chlorine in it! and it's so much more acidic! It use to be almost perfect//with minor fixes made. Now I'm going to have to majorly prepare the water in quite a few buckets... Or visit my closest aquarium to buy freshwater by the gal.
I have shrimp now. (sadly)
Prime will still take care of that added chlorine. If you wanted to feel totally safe. Just add prime to your tap water before adding it to the tank.
@@KaveManAquatics so cool man, thank you
I am AMAZED that when using that "python", the fish are not suctioned thru the pipe as well.
It’s not that strong, occasionally one does swim up the tube but very easy to get him out.
Are you positive it’s alright o add the declorinator like this vs in the water mixed in before putting it into the tank.
Been doing it this way for years 🤷🏼♂️😁…and still to this day.
2:47 I know I’m a year late but how did no one mention the fish that got sucked up 😂
Lol I think one other person did...like a year ago lol
LOL, I didn't notice that 😅😂🤣
Fish lives matter 🙏✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻😂
Hi KaveMan! Thanks for the video. Btw, for your advice as 3:25, when did you add de chlorinator ? Did you add it into the aquarium water before adding tap water or add it into a bucket water then pour into the tank?
You can add directly into tank just before adding in the water. Heres a helpful video on the subject - ua-cam.com/video/xy3vlrPA-BQ/v-deo.html
Mine aquarium become cloudy when i change the water and the white cotton in my filter..what should i do?
Kev please go ahead and pin this comment because for anybody that wants to copy your exact setup the total cost will be about $1,560 give or take and thats not including the tank or fish and its not including tax your welcome to everybody that was gonna calculate it
How many gallons is this tank? Mine is a bowed 36 gallon. You can put cichlids in that low of a tank? Thought it has to be 75 gallon or bigger? And also on the water changes I thought every bucket I fill up with has to be mixed with the prime first. Can you just add the right amount of prime in tank and then fill it up with the chlorinated water without it deleted first? Looks like you added the chemicals in the tank and just added the hose water to the tank. Looks like it woukd be much faster which is cool but wonder if it wouldn't mix right away with fish already in the tank? Forgive me as I'm a newbie.
Thank you. At what point did you add the Prime? While the new water was coming in or before?
Just before! Added prime to tank, then immediately started filling.
@@KaveManAquatics with running of canister ..can we use prime ...
Hey bro can you do a video about internal filter top filter its benefits and cons
Thanks for the idea, I’ll look into it 💪
Did you just add the Prime into the 25% water that was left in the tank, then filled with tap? Or is there a way to add it inline on the python?
Pls help me, do I add the water conditoner before I refill the tank? And wouldn’t the water conditoner hurt the fish? Becuse it’s not mixed with the water ???
What are you using to add the water back in. I use pitcher to pitcher. And using the pitchers I use prime once my tank is full. How else should I do it
Since I now keep big tanks I've transitioned to using a pump both to drain and refill my tanks, super fast and easy. Watch this - ua-cam.com/video/5T4t_PdXCQw/v-deo.html
When changing your water using the python, how do you maintain the water temperature? Or would this system be better used on a mixer tap where you can control the water temperature going back into the tank.
That’s how I do it, I set my hot and cold to the temp I want. Then send the water to tank. I use a hand held thermometer to check temp.
My tank is around 22 liter how many ML chlorine i have to put to the water
I have a freashwater fully planted tank...Should i unplug the heater before drianing the tank?
Also where should my PH levels be before adding fish?
Yes, always. You dont want heaters on while not submerged under water. they can burn out or even melt. PH levels depend on what your fish species require.
Is that a 54 gallon corner bow front tank? If so where did you get your canopy? I need one.
It was a 48 gallon bow front which I bought used, with canopy included. Sorry couldn’t help.
So it’s ok to add the chemicals before the u add the new tap water?
If you mean the Prime, yes. You can add it directly to the tank just before adding in the new water 😁

Awesome! 💪💪
How often should I do the water change? I have a 10 gallon I’m new too.
Depends on your nitrate levels. Testing for those is key until you get on a known schedule. I highly suggest you check out my playlist for beginners. It'll be very helpful for you 😁 - ua-cam.com/play/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er.html
