Nano Blackwater - Some Changes
Переглядів 6 тис.5 років тому
This tank has had some changes, and the botanicals needed to be replaced, so a quick update on what's going on. Botanicals break down naturally as microoganisms eat away at them, and form mulm that is often seen on the surface of the substrate. Botanicals release tannins, which lower pH, and mimic that natural environment of many aquarium fish. Botanicals from Tannin Aquatics tanninaquatics.com...

I thought I'd get a few amanos (Petco calls them Japanese algae eaters) before cherry shrimp. Surprisingly, out all the amanos I've gotten in the past, Petco's have the best survival rate.

you should check Easy Life products baby gurl. Great vid. Thanks for posting.
Came across your channel. Hope youre doing well and are still enjoying the hobby!
Great tips. This helped give me some great building blocks. I couldn't figure out why the nice pieces I were picking looked horrible once in the tank. Thanks!!!
This seemed like a great channel. Why did you stop making videos?
wonderful aquascaping, compliments !!!
What ferts to use with discus?
Good Video. Thank you.
สวัดดี คุณยังอยู่ไหม ฉันอยากเห็นว่าปัจจุบันตู้ปลาของคุณเป็นอย่างไรบ้าง
You are real smart young lady. Great Job.
The flourish one has low nitrogen levels because the fish creates nitrogen from food waste and fish waste turns into that
That’s why it’s low in nitrogen
I think you earn a like when you put in the work. She puts in the work.
can you put links please
Do you have to remove the carbon from your filter? I also have zero Phosphate levels, will Excel correct that?
Are all of these fertilizers safe for fish?
Great video I like the quick overviews and hearing your opinion on the macros
What kind of stand/shelf is that tank on?
Can I use it for growing my carrots.
This stuff is famous for causing cancers. When use this stuff, be careful. Use gloves and don't breath this stuff.
Did the packaging change for Nyloc Thrive all in one
This is great! Thank you for explaining the chemistry of Excel.
Good stuff 👍🤘
💯
Best explanation
great content i hope that she comes back 😿
Is it possible to accidentally uncycle a fish tank with this?
I use Excel to get rid of hair algae, nothing else. And my shrimp only tank have no issues.
Thank you so much! This video has been so helpful!!
Shame that you no longer make videos. I really like your content
POV:it’s your lucky day to buy shrimp you have enough money…. Your Mom Doesn’t Let You Have S H R I M P
I have had massive success with the flourish, but it’s mainly due to my tank’s high bioload that supplies the nitrogen
What about Fluval Plant Micro Nutrient?
Nice video
Best video on the topic! Love the breakdown and the experiment you ran
I use Api Leaf Zone now and I have to admit my plants are growing better than they were using more complete liquid fertilizers.
alot of factors come into play , light low medium high, co2 or no , filtration , flow , live stock , plant density, plant demands very from one to another . Its trial and error you let natural be and then you tweak
I have Anubis in a fishless 5 gallon tank and use Leaf Zone and they been doing just fine.
I used plant zone for about half a year, and it worked pretty well for the price and type.
I'm using easy green, and my plants are still dying in places, with leaves falling off and holes appearing. That sounds like a bad potassium deficiency. They otherwise look great. Some green spot algae, so phosphate must be low as well.
Bro, this video is perfect, it gets right to the point and has a concise and informative way of describing each fertilizer
I have some ember tetras In my 2.5 gallon
GOOD VIDEO :) ALTHOUGH I PREFER PVC PIPE , I MAEDE SOMETHING SIMILAR :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
I hope you make more videos.
😍
I miss your vids! You should post more!
Glutar aldehyde is a poison, why add it to the aquarium and breathe its fumes? In aquarium main thing is the balance of light, micro and macro fertilization ... Everything else is secondary.
I was just about to purchase leaf zone too lol good thing I watched this video
Brilliant so glad I found you you’re explaining things very well
Great informative and educational video! Thanks :)
I am impress...
