I don't think this is a Beginner plant at all. I'm struggling to grow these.. And I got them tissue cultured. And have them planted immersed for back up for emergencies.

Hi, What do you use to remineralize your RODI water?

What fertilizer do you use? Awesome stuff btw!!!

So are you building your base and top of cabinet 3/4 inch short and having the tank rest its weight on the face frame?

My glass catfish live with false julii corys, otocinclus cats, & endlers. They all live together perfectly. The glass like low light, give them some plants to hang out under, they will love it!

Which carpet plant is this??

which glass do you use

You did all that talking and only showed one or two little pieces of pearl weed. Thats why i dont watch your stuff anymore

you know

talk about nothing useful

What is the gadget? Called that makes the wave.

JJ you ok? No vids for awhile…

i cant find this anywhere im scared of buying the wrong one could u by any chance lmk where u got it from or send me a link please and thank you

I know this is an old topic and video. But I just saw it and thought I could clear up some things about AmGuard. It works and works well if you use it correctly and for what it's actually designed for. Amguard is for temporary fixes and delays the toxicity of Ammonia. It converts very toxic Ammonia NH3 to a safer Ammonium NH4. Your total Ammonia test kits like API master will still see both as total Ammonia. Most test kits that test for total Ammonia won't see any difference whether its NH3 or NH4. So you'll still see the NH3 and NH4 totals. Don't use a total Ammonia test to see if this is working. Your total ammonia test kits will continue to show high toxic levels of ammonia even if it has been converted to the safer NH4. Only tests that individually test for NH3 or NH4 will see it happen. But Ammonium NH4 is far less toxic than Ammonia NH3. Your nitrifying bacteria that eats ammonia eats either kind. So adding this during an ammonia spike will give the bacteria established/establishing time to eat it while the NH4 is less likely to immediately kill tank inhabitants. The problem is this is not a permanent fix. In a few days (depending on pH and hardness and temp) the safer NH4 not consumed by bacteria will eventually go back to being the very toxic NH3 again. So AmGuard will do you no good if you don't have the bacteria colonies of the nitrogen cycle fully working. This does not help you either if your habits (overstocking, overfeeding, too infrequent water changes, etc.) continue. You'll just be daily piling more and more and more NH3 ammonia into the system. But if you have properly cycled your tank and your bacteria are present, and ammonia and nitrites are present, they will eat the NH4 this product makes just as well as the toxic NH3. Thereby both the types of the Ammonia is converted by bacteria to less hazardous Nitrites which can be removed by the second stage bacteria established in your tank which will turn it to even less toxic Nitrates. You can get rid of Nitrates by changing your water regularly and/or having heavily planted tanks. Plants love Nitrates. So does invasive algae. This is why you really need to monitor your Ammonia/Ammonium, Nitrite, Nitrate levels as it's a good indicator of whether your bacteria in your tank is working well or perhaps even non-existent. Know the Nitrogen cycle and whether your tank is within those parameters and you can avert a lot of disasters to both fish and plants. The way the Nitrogen cycle works in an aquarium should be required reading before setting up any tank. You'll only be a successful fish keeper if your tank is cycled. Too much info to go into here. This product gives your bacteria colonies a couple of days or so to consume any excess NH3 Ammonia that this product has converted to NH4 Ammonium. But if you keep producing more NH3 than your bacteria colony can catch up to, you'll still have high ammonia daily accumulating on top of what you already had. This product is just going to give you a couple of days to solve your real problem of why you have too much toxic ammonia. If you don't have the nitrifying bacteria going yet, add a product like Stability that will put large quantities of good bacteria into your water and will kick-start the Nitrogen cycle going which eats excess ammonia or ammonium. I use AmGuard as a life saving measure when I notice an ammonia spike, or when certain fish suddenly show signs of distress. I dope the tank with the recommended dosage of AmGuard and my fish are usually given a few days reprieve while I find out why I got an Ammonia spike in the first place. (Unseen dead snails or fish or rotting uneaten food that went behind rocks or plants are sometimes a cause of this.) Have AmGuard on hand for a quick rescue of your fish from ammonia spikes. Just know you still have to solve the cause of the Ammonia spike. Sometimes changing 50% of the water before then adding Amguard can be a real lifesaver. Also be aware that some fish like some Corydoras or Loaches or cold water fish (goldfish) can react badly to even helpful chemicals in their water. Bottom dwellers are often in the worst areas of Ammonia or low oxygen in a tank and can be the first to show signs of distress or pass away. Use airstones or pumps to be sure the CO2 at the top of the tank is being well evacuated and good oxygen is being taken into the water and moved about the tank. Sometimes water chemical problems and the products that dope them can also cause oxygen deficiency in the water. Keep a good water circulation always to solve that. Your top water surface in almost all cases is where that oxygen and CO2 is exchanged. Air stone bubbles do not add oxygen to the water as some people think. They are to be used only to move water from the bottom to the top of the tank. Of course a pump is more efficient if it doesn't have so much force as to disturb the inhabitants. AmGuard can also remove Chlorine and Chloramine although other products are often better at it. Many cities dump both chlorine and Ammonia into their tap water (Chloramine). However, the Seachem product called Prime does neutralize it much better and is a bit better at providing other features for conditioning water to make it safe for fish. Some cities still put heavy metals into their tap water to kill bad organisms although most don't do this any longer. Other chemicals like fluoride which is a poison to living creatures could also be added. These often kill fish and plants (and people over time). Don't use Amguard as a complete substitute for anti-chlor chemicals. Products like Prime that handle a multitude of things do a better job for that.

Hey JJ. In the manuals for each of these brighty series fertilizers, ADA mentions that its acceptable to double or triple the standard dose according to plant mass. Is that something you do or do you more or less stick to 1 pump per 20L throughout the tank's life cycle? Thanks.

Man this needs more views for the 7 years it’s been out

Basically

What kind of filter r u using? Thanks so much

A BN pleco is a cheaper option. I have one in all my tanks and they’re spotless

How long he growing ? 10 inches ? 5 ? 2 ? THAT IS THE REAL QUESTION AND PROBLEM

where are all your fish? Lol. You have no bioload

That plywood needs a lot of sanding between coats.

Maybe dont do too many bong hits. Before you do a video. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much for this video! Explained clearly and i'm gonna switch to daily dosing.

I just love everything ADA and support their commitment to the industry. But being Canadian ruins it for me. This light here is available but costs 810$ cdn. For a 60 cm light we struggle to even pay 544 cdn for a chihiros wrgb pro 60cm

Any worries about the heat leeching chemicals into the water with the tubing?

Hi, great content! Really enjoy your videos. I just received my DOOA System Paluda 60 and noticed one of the blue sponges is rock hard. Don't think it's usable. I hope it can get soft once put in water? I know it was sitting at the store warehouse for over 2 years but never expected to get some faulty items. Also the Wabi Kusa Mats seem pretty dry and maybe lost their thickness. I wanted to ask is the mat material quite soft or hard? The outer frame (edges) feel very hard like you can throw it like ninja stars. Wanted to know if they are faulty as well, and if you think they won't retain water as supposed to? Thanks for your help!

Your tank needs to add potassium liquid to prevent the leaves from turning yellowish.

Does the AQUASKY RGB Ⅱ 60 work with a timer or smart switch if I don't choose the built in app functionality?

This is so helpful!!! Thanks!

What is the soil -- Aquasoil ? Garden compost ?

Are you still getting optimal co2 levels with that diffuser being shallow and with those bubble sizes?

what is your carpet plant?

I know this is years late but how do you have your tank so clear?

what about Flourish Seachem advance fertilizer ? is it it good product ? ho do u use it with Seachem Excel in same time? do need to buy phosphorous or potassium ?

Don’t bury the onion looking part, just get the roots in the soil or it will rot. I paid $17.99 for one 7” plant

Bought fish and snails four weeks ago, nothing. Fuck that place

This is brilliant. Just ordered one. Thanks for the great tip.

Having a dam hard time listening to you struggling to talk omg

Plant please???❤

How do you get that finish?

Hope you are doing well! Looking forward to more vids! 👍

Ur channel name is so cool!

Pretties flat tank I’ve ever seen

What tanks would the light fit? The tanks im interested in are the ADA 45F or the 60F.

What light is that?

Would you able to tell me what model and name of those wave maker is? Please

200L對大魚缸不夠力，大家想清楚先買😢，如果你魚缸2尺內都可以用這個ADA

My comment is very late but wanted to touch on this. You used to do 2 x 50% water changes every week which means you changed 100% of your water weekly? Why? Besides Monte Carlo is a root feeding plant. Dosing liquid ferts in the water column does very little to nothing in helping MC but would be really good at blooming your algae. I clearly understand why your MC was turning brown.

雖然有聲但都好少聲，我用了年半都沒放棄不用，除油器中排第一是ADA但是價錢太高，第二首選Oase因為清潔方便輕型同價錢經濟。。😊😊
