I am new to having fish. I didn’t know any of this information and we have already added fish to our tank 😬 we set it up and added the quick start. Then we put the fish bags in the water for about 45 minutes and added the fish. They seem to be happy and thriving. Are the fish going to die ?

What’s up kev how long does crush coral last? I have mine in a bag in my tank Not in my filter.

Where do you get your fish from? man, Our local stores are so poor, please tell me Also, how does your house hold all this wight, what do you do?

Check with a blue lab conductivity pen

I check the heater everyday

Yep it is. But if it fail on. It will cook.your fish.

Great Information!!!👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾....Thanks Kev!!

How do I get one of those seachem shirts?

Hey man, i bought a dirty filter, and didnt clean it properly. Now theres alot of black junk everywhere.

Can this bee down with metroplex or paragaurd? I have a severum thats definitely has the internal parasites and isnt eating medicated food

Love your videos, they are always informative. Are these medications safe for snails and plants?

Looking at my tank, my intake is on the right side. Do I put the wave maker on the same side or on the opposite side?

I got a 10 gallon tank. I use a qtr tbsp of baking soda every 2 days until I get it up. I take my fish out during this process so I don't accidentally spike the ph with fish present. Currently going through bacteria bloom cuz I vacuumed to fast and got debris all in my tank. Dosing Prime and Stability every other day.

How would you go about lowering your pH, please?

I have A 10 gallon tank, is this to much for this size tank? We I cut it on it blows the fish around and they stay on one side of the tank.

I have a cloudy tank this last few months yes months tried water change after water change also have been using the poly filter you talk about in my external filter still cloudy water can you help please. Its a cold water 180 litre tank with 2 fish black moor and olando

Just got this after watching this video. Hopefully it'll work as well for me. Thanks for the advice my man 👍✌️

Looks really cool! Could this be used in African Cichlid tank?

EY KEV WANNA BUY 2 SNAILS ONE WITH TIGER BARB THE OTHER FOR NEON AND GUPPYS ...PET STORE TOLD ME YOU NEED TO BUY PALLETS FOR THE SNAIL 🐌 IS IT TRUE ?? AS I THOUGHT THEY EAT LEFTOVERS

Hi! Just got two 75 gallon tanks for my red eared sliders (a tank for each of them), and about to set up two fx6 filters. What’s the best filter media for turtles? Same as what you recommend for your fish? CK matrix will work? Thank you.

Good practice to wash the sponges and filter media with your tank water to not kill the beneficial bacteria. I usually clean filter media when I’m doing water changes, just use the water coming out of the tank as the water source.

You’ve been incredibly helpful! I’m new to all of this and currently have just one betta. I’m moving it from a 3-gallon tank to a 5-gallon tank. I’ve been using Prime and Stability in the new, empty tank for two days, and the water is already testing fine. If I transfer my betta into the new tank before the full 7 days, should I continue adding Stability and Prime? Thank you!

I’m thinking about changing my substrate 😩 I have a black background & black substrate. I’ve recently changed my fish to discus 🐠 3 of them have turned almost black with very little colour😢 I’m guessing it’s down to the background & substrate ???

I have a 40 gallon tank. With about six fish. How long does Purigen work for?

Thanks, man! I'm buying a fish tank (second hand ofc) today and Your channel made it 10.7x easier.

FishKave for the W 😊 The scape turned out amazing! The salt water fish you have are stunning!

Newbie here! Had no idea about cycling or the bacterial bloom. Set up my tank, let it run for a couple days, added my betta. Maybe fed it a little more than recommended -NoT by much! By the following afternoon, today, the cloudiness appeared along with a foul smell. Panic mode. Some food particles in the gravel that I will vacuum up. Should I rehome the fish temporarily while it cycles? Or will it be safe? Thanks for all your help!

I absolutely love watching your videos. Super helpful!

I LOVE YOUR CHANNELL AS AN ABSOUBEGGINER WHO MESSED UP THE CYCLE THIS HELPS EXPLAIN SO MUCH

Just the clear concise, and valuable information I needed for a simple way to keep my outdoor fish pond clean and my little fishes happy. Thank you for your help.♥♥♥

Hey kev. Can I make a refugium under my 125 gallon African cichlid tank using a 40gallon breeder? Is it as simple as adding a pump in and out ? I don’t have a sump. I run 2 FX-4s

I'm going to challenge your point that "biological filtration doesn't give crystal clear water" I think this is somewhat misleading. You can absolutely have crystal clear tanks with minimal or no mechanical filtration. Cloudy water is mostly due to overabundance of heterotrophic bacteria and other microorganisms in the water column (that is to say, they're outcompeting the nitrifying bacteria). This is why overfeeding clouds water, it causes a bacterial bloom. This is why wavemaker is also good, it aids the autotrophic bacteria by providing oxygen and carbon dioxide. Best way to get crystal clear water for me is a mature canister filter filled with good biomedia. I don't need polyfill myself.

Just remember if you have an FX filter you can drain down to just above the intake IF you don't have an ATO and/or additional HOB filter, such as for water polishing. Going below your ATO bottom level, the fill line, you will cause the ATO to turn on and just keep going until you possibly drain your reservoir and kill the pump, or you can unplug your ATO and then drain down to the top of your intake. HOBs have a minimum fill line and if you go below that you will be running your HOB dry and potentially ruin it, so again just unplug it before you start your draining process.-Lady Tank Boss

I actually dont know who u put up with it so calmly💀 Id be yelling curses into the camera for them having the gaul to be so dumb😵‍💫😂

Don’t listen to the haters, the don’t like what they don’t understand

Hi I just got a fish tank our water filter the water fall one was not working enough so I put another one in but was missing a bit so have a little small spout coming up top will this disrupt the fish one fish was staying by the water fall one before input this in will the extra help till I can get another one

Hi 👋 I have been dosing my tank every day since I started the new tank with prime and stability water parameters are still at zero meaning the tank is not yet cycled. Do I still dose every day until there is only nitrates ?

Fishcave for the W....Love it!

What about Oscars?

Thank You sir. Thanks for replying to me. Your video is helpful. I missed that one. In your videos.

Hey Kev, do you use any Seachem products to keep your water looking as good and keeping your water in great condition in the coral tanks, thanks from Steve in UK

Great video, but with my my FX6's on my saltwater tank, I NEVER cleaned the sponges....they can be had for cheap on amazon. I would get a whole pack of many for cheap and just put new sponges in. Saves time and much cleaner!

Do you not need carbon in filter??

Just wondering how often di you recommend cleaning the 407 canister? Thank You

I’m watching this very informative video again because I had to add my adult mystery snail (he’s HUGE & poops a lot) in my 10G with 6 Pygmy Cories temporarily because I needed to add meds to the tank he was in. It caused my cycle in the 10 gallon to CRASH when it’s been running smoothly for 8 months. 6 tiny fish don’t produce much waste so my snails poop overwhelmed the system (thank god I tested water!). I freaked out & did a water change then decided to go the prime & stability route instead of removing more water 2 days later then dealing w/ the issue again. Levels are low & snail/fish are doing well still (🤞)

Seacam stability or API stress zyme? What's good...
