i experimented with other sizes of reducer/enlargers and this one is the best size and fits the plastic airstones common in aquarium shops. if your in cebu i can sell them premade

Beef based Dog food. I tried other forms of dog food but the ones formulated with beef is best.

Thank you for the comment. The pygmy goby is in fact the Pandaka Pygmaea en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_pygmy_goby

what do you mean mechanical filter? like a sponge filter? i dont bother with other filters when using undergravel. But you can if you wish.

Thank you for the comment. Live plants are important for keeping fish. I suggest research well and just get simple plants that dont require a lot of light and C02. Try some guppy grass, Jungle Vallesneria, Bacopa, Cryptocorynes etc. they will do well with a simple setup.

@@guadaguppy4798 Thanks for your excellent advice 👍✌️

hahahaha Thanks for the comment

@@chandu5472 it does but the pearweed eventually make its way into the substrate (if there is any)so it ends up kinda permanent. Btw also tried with guppy grass works also

@@leonardmercado3004 good question sir. I made a contraption from small trash bin the bottom has holes and i glued fine mess net there so i just clip this to the.tub wall and from.there ican pull water out. I dont worry about the detritus that accumulate on the bottom as that seems to make infusoria flourish and the daphnia also feeds on that

hahahaha yup kepted moving. still using this method up to this day.

@@guadaguppy4798 hi ya I’m making one tomorrow 👍✌️🙏

Thank you for the comment. mine do this regularly. i also stopped the Co2 just to keep the growth from taking over everything in this tank.

Wala sir. Lisog kaayo kay walay documentation. Di ma hibalan kung unsa jud ila cycle sa full on 35ppt salt to brakish to fresh. ako ge try sila keep sa brakish pero wala jud koy success. Dunay naka claim na totally fresh water daw ila pag keep murag reply man to diri. pero wanako ni try usab.

@@guadaguppy4798 mao ba boss. Mao lgi usa puy lisod kanang wala pakay info bahin anang isdaa. Nindot raba unta ky pang nano tank gyud siya. Sayang. Pero atleas ni try ka boss.

ill try to make a video about that.

Yes The jar "WILL" Get smelly. But it depends on the vegie that you used also i tried squash!! For sure everybody will hate you hahahahaha! Use pechay or Lettuce instead. there will still be a stink but only if you really stick your nose in the jar. Unlike the squash when you lift the lid its like a bad odor spirits are released and the whole room stinks!!

I keep infusoria until i can still see them in there after a while i restart. with lettuce its usually 7 to 10 days. Every thing is dependent on the temperature. So since im in the philippines and its always hot and humid even on rainy season 7 to 10 days. If your in a colder drier climate you will need to figure out the duration and adjust.

@@guadaguppy4798 i have 2 jar, One with banana leaf and small amount of yeast The other jar is just tank water + yeast Both have infusoria But the one with tank water + yeast is much smelly haha

@@daf2666 I dont use yeast at all. maybe ill try that

Thanks for the kind word. I recently also made another snail trap video but for bladder snails. they move faster than ramshorn and this method does not seem to be as effective so i designed another trap for that

Salamat sir

Yup hes all grown up now.

Thank u sir

saglit lang i try nyo daw na i full ang knob sa control. kung mag light ibig sabihin na un sayo na sa setting nyo na reach na nya at hanggan bumaba yan hindi talaga umilaw (mag on) balik hangang bumaba ang temp. So meaning wala sya nag consume ng kuryente. kung mainit ang panahon bihira mo yan makita umilaw talaga lalo nag nasa 27 to 28 kalang na setting.

​@@guadaguppy4798 pano po sir if nakamax na ayaw parin umilaw 27 po tank temp ko max at 34 heater walang ilaw :(

@@ajelyncaloza9440 hmmm try mo muna kuha ka ng temp sa tank kung naka lapas na sa 27 lets say naka 28 ang temp ayaw talaga umilaw or mag on ang heater kasi mag on lang ang heater kung lower than 27 ang actual temp. subukan mo taw i set sa 29 kung umilaw just to check if working ba ang heater mo. if working then the set temp mo is actually lower than the actual temp so hindi talaga mag on ang heater

Thank you

i have never tried to gather grindal worms but i heard it can be done. suppose to be that a potato you cut in halve and scoop out the insides of both halves. then you bury it in a moist but not flooded area. about 3 to 4 inches deep. and then return to that in a week to 10 days and your suppose to have grindal worms. But i have not tried it myself.

@@guadaguppy4798 oooooh wow that's interesting to try, thank I appreciate it I will search more info

@@QuantumX3.14 i also tried to find that video. It was not for grindalnworms but for microworms

@@guadaguppy4798 yeah I was all night searching the same, but I save your video so when I create I can keep preserving the culture, If have any update please let me know hahahaha God bless

Yup mine as well fun to observe there behavior

Enjoy your fish

Thank you so much for the Kind words. Lately youtube has been indeed tough. I only gives you a small window of opportunity for exposure (less than an hour) and unless you show a particular amount of vies within that period your shoved to the back.

it takes anywhere from 12 to 36 hours before there is enough built up. Did you already turn the vavle on during the build up process? (it should be off until the bottles are tight) what kind of diffuser are you using? Most diffusers designed for high pressure co2 will not work with this setup.

Sadly i did not save this fish and he passed away shortly after the video. There are no clear studies on pop eye disease and that some suggest like dropsy its only an underlying symptom and not the disease itself. So it could be anything internally. in this case it might have been internal hemorage since there was a pair laying eggs and they were aggressive to this particular angel

I dont have experience with the twinstar diffuser so i cant really say. but most of the commercially availabe diffusers have a lot of "resistance" since they are designed for use with high pressure co2 systems. these will still work but up to a point as pressure in the DIY co2 drops the bubbles also stop. thats why sometimes as you use these diffusers you can still feel the bottles to be tight with content but its just the pressure can no longer push thru said diffusers. Thats why i like the DIY bamboo diffuser better as it lets me totally deplete the DIY Co2 contents.

I usually go with an inch of gravel above the slot. so in that case i had to use over 2 inches total of gravel. in the video i had the trays so i had to go over 3 inches in the back to hide the trays of aquasoil. But say you dont have that and you faced the slots upside down then you could probably get away with just 1 inch or 1inch and a half.

As to how do you know if you have enough filtration. Well you need test the water to confirm that you have your tank cycled and monitor the amount of nitrates that rise in the course of a week. as long as its consistent and no ammonia and nitrite is present then your have enough filtration. But remember as you add livestock or make changes this will change so constant monitoring is needed as you do so.

​@@guadaguppy4798 is there such a thing as too much substrate with this filter? Would 5 inches be a negative or not really worth going towards? I guess I'm concerned about having enough BB surface area compared to a sponge on a tank larger than 20 gallons. I really like the lava rock idea because it's porous, but not small enough to get shuffled with other substrate with a gravel vac like o-rings could.

@@eveningclicks7767 personally i have not tried any thicker with any of my UGF filters. But i do know that another twist to this is to make an anoxic filter setup. using a plenum. Dr. Novak i believe is the proponent and advocate user of this teaching people about anoxic setups. they are very thick substrates. I just do not have acces to laterite that whats hindering me from trying it out.

ground fault circuit interrupter. para safety yan kasi sir. parang may built in na circuit breaker. Pero kaso halos dito sa atin wala ito na standard sa pag kabit sa mga bahay natin. so Extra caution lang sir. when using that. Lalo na pag water change nyo tapos na above sa water yan and matagalan mo baka magcrack ang glass and may curyente kasi yan. Pero sa mga periha ko so far ok naman . the best so far na heater na aking na gamit.

Sorry po just sharing the video

Turn off? There is no turning off a chemical process when it's started. You need to let the co2 escape in the room at night.

I always mention in my videos that you need to know your water with this system. Because Co2 is carbonic acid and it will cause your PH to drop. In the Philippines we have exceptionaly high ph water. 8.4 to 8.6 with this system running 24/7 it will only drop the ph to 7.6 to 7.4 I have never seen that swing down any lower than that. but like i said you need to know your water. This system works well with high Ph and High Kh(buffering) But if you really want to turn the system off the best thing to do is run an airpump with an air stone on a timer. so the pump turns on as the lights turn off and i suggest the pump turn off 2 hours before the light period so that when the lights go on there is already co2 in the water.

@@Christian_Johansson i mean the DIY co2 tank

@@guadaguppy4798 thanks

@@johnlloydjuntilla9069 You cant turn off the co2 in the tank like i explained if you let it run during no light period the PH might drop to much specially if you already have low PH to prevent that from happening run and air stone 2 hours before the light turns to this will expell the co2 to control the PH drop. but if your PH is like mine 8 to 8.4 and have High Kh bufferingthen this will not be a problem.

congrats the feeling can be quite fulfulling to breed your fish

I'm not too shabby, bread I have had some luck. Cheers!@@guadaguppy4798
