Good tips! But i think 10s is enough for a glue to attach a plant underwater. Another tip: You can use sand or aquarium substrate or even coffee to cover any glued areas potentially visible from outside. This is why i always have dense glue and thin, watery like glue.

Again you leave out aquarium size..?:)

Aquarium size…?:)

Hi, Great informative video. I used fine fishing line and had trouble tying knots as it was so fiddley. How did yours stay holding without knotting it please?

Amazing

wow

Will 16mm (inside diameter) silicone hose fit on the neo premium lily pipes or will it be too ‘sloppy’ and subject to fail (ie. fall off) once under pressure/flow

Thank you for the tip❤

This video is standing-ovation worthy. 👏 Lots of great tips and hint, no BS, technic clearly shown with supporting recommendations (ie. spring clamp, smaller hose size, etc). As a seasoned aquarist there were a couple of “ah ha” moments when I thought, “why didn’t I think of that,”. Great video all around! Kudos. Wish we could get you to ship to your friends to the north 🇨🇦🇨🇦under an easier format.

Could you please tell what the accelerator is and where to get it? Thanks

It will survive without soil?the montecarlo or ur putting liquid fertilizer?.im just new to this hobby so im gathering much info that i can on how to care for live aquarium plants.thank you!

Is CLEAR SILICONE the best glue to use when glueing HEAVY ROCKS together ? as compared to an aquarium safe RESIN... which is better ?

Whenever i use CA glue like you did, under water, I've failed miserabley time and time again (anubias to driftwood underwater, anubias to gravel to driftwood). I finally gave up and just drained my 75 and glued it to a more dry surface driftwood.

Great tip

I'm really surprised with big companies that they haven't made different coloured glue so it can be in keeping with your aquarium design, great video 👍

That for the learned new tip. The accelerator, did not know that was a thing. Subscribed

Nice and informative video..thanks 👍🏼

Good one!

Awesome video thank you for sharing

very useful video congratulations

years ago when i first found out about the glue+cotton trick it was a game changer.. it really "opens a door for new opportunities" xD and because of some reaction with the air + cotton it would instantly harden and you could use way less of it but over the time this reaction stopped happening.. probably cause my glue is 5ish years old now 🤷‍♂

I don't like glueing plants, it looks not safe I like tie it together, and glued wood and rocks, not glued to plants

So helpful! Thanks.

Thank you so much, I was just wondering how to glue wood together.

Truly appreciate the honesty. We all make mistakes and it is good to acknowledge this and also to talk through the options. Great video, really helpful thanks.

With the 1/2" tube, how were you getting the suction started? Is there a better way then just sucking on the end and trusting your skill no not get a mouthful of aquarium water? Great video by the way, subscribed!

Just watched a video about an hour ago where they (another YT channel) said not to get glue the rhizome, just the roots. I'm wondering, from how you worded it in your video, if the crux is really just not to completely encapsulate or encompass a portion of the rhizome as that would inhibit growth. Would you agree with that? Thanks and great video.

Where are you getting this Instaset spray? I see none listed on Amazon. Unless I am spelling it wrong. What is the product name of the spray your using?

New to planted tanks. What kind of glue would I use?

Leider viel falsch. Pflanzen eingesetzt die entweder sofort kaputt gehen, oder die nach einem Monat wieder zu entfernen sind, da sie viel zu groß werden. Monstera Thai, wird gigantisch, und sprengt das Terra in Paar Wochen. Unnötige Arbeit.

Also every single plant you put in there gets MASSIVE. Even the birds nest ferns. I definitely feel like you should say something at the beginning. The average person won’t be able to maintain or house these plants after and they are fast growers, so a lot of maintenance and upkeep.

So you didn’t cover with silicone? Just straight foam and coco? What happens when the coco starts breaking down or falls off? Also doesn’t protect from isopods chewing through the foam? Eh……..

Literally 5 dollar for a cup here

I tried a community tank with neoacaridina and mbuna fry 😊 It was a sight to see kzbin.info/www/bejne/p32nk3l8l96Ies0si=ImEJM2w_fD7boZUB

One subject not mentioned is TDS, it seems a very grey area Matt, can you advise please?

can we get these in the uk?

Excuse me, I really enjoyed your video but BIG question: how much long these tiny fishes live? I bought some grey corydoras and a group of cardinal tetras (the ones red and blue, very similar to neon tetras) I was told that all these fishes can live up to max 5 years... so I wonder if spend other money for these very tiny fishes is worthy or not 😮

Ive been running co2 from the 2 bottle setup (that i learned from your channel 😁) with daily ferts (flourish and flourish excel), about 6 root tabs, and about 2 inches of the enriched aquasoil substrate on a 10g extremely heavily planted tank with a large variety of plants with no fish in it (only some pest snails that hitched a ride from the store) so i dont necessarily have to worry about killing anything by having too much co2. I dont even have a co2 checker because of that fact. And i never turn the co2 off because no fish to kill, pretty much just an underwater garden and my question is: should i put my diffuser near my HOB filter intake? Its literally SO planted that i dont think the filter flow even really reaches the other side where the diffuser is but theoretically wouldnt i get better absorption if the co2 bubbles are going into the filter and back into the water that way? So theres more dispersion of co2-ified water flow..?

Nice use of em

You can tell your betta was super curious about the cleaning. Mine does the same thing.

In process of re-establishing a much larger planted setup. Had never used CO2 before in my smaller tanks which may have housed 1 or 2 plants. I find your videos very informative, clear, concise with little or no BS filler. Initially thought about trying the homemade 2-bottle set up but it’s short term and messy. Setting up a 60gal and considering using the tank and gauge-based format shown in this video (of course dependent on setup and continued costing). My concern is on sourcing replacement CO2 (refillable vs non-refillable) bottles and $$$$. New subscriber. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I thought that was Matt in the thumbnail!

I've never seen the tip about the angled siphon end, thats helpful.

great video! I like how this video in specific features a lot of new tips. Most videos have the same few repeat tips but this one offers lots of stuff I haven't thought about before. I especially liked the filter floss to clean corner algae

Good idea that you for sharing.

welcome to the secret club

Thank you so much, this was very helpful. (all the way from Gilbert, AZ)

You mention using RO water in one of your tanks. Are you remineralizing with the addition of ferts or is are you also doing something else?

THANKS

How about an external defuser? Any good?
