I love your videos and Ive learned so much from you, but i wanted to say the following: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I saw you cut off an aerial root node at 2:50 from your pothos cutting. Your stem needs at least one aerial root node to grow roots into the water. If your cutting has no root nodes, the cutting won't root and eventually will wilt and die. You could root the stem with no leaves, but as long as you have root nodes on the stem, you have a high chance it'll grow roots. Thank you for all your helpful videos!

Kevin most of what I know about aquariums and the up keep I learned from you! I ordered a couple of the Poth-O-Carry. But the one thing that I did was instead of waiting for one of the nodes to produce roots, I carefully took the plants apart and used the root system that is already established. When I get my poth-o-carriers I will used those. Right know I don't like the way the roots look in my tank but maybe the carriers would make them look better. Thanks for what you bring the the fish keeping world!!!

It’s best to start cuttings from a new plant in water, not just the new plant. Plants that are already growing in soil have a hard time just in water. Take cuttings, put those cuttings in a container in water until they root, then use those new cuttings in your tank. If you did that & still not working, probably not enough light.

Yo KEV ... When are u getting another tank ? I have a suggestion for a fish. It's an African Cichlid from Madagascar that looks like a South or Central American Cichlid when it comes to size. Its a black fish with white or bluish dots and grows up to 12 inches called the Starry Night Cichlid or Paratilapia Polenni or Bleekeri. I am sure you have heard of it. It's a beautiful fish. Just a suggestion. This fish is extremely under rated and overlooked.

I have had huge pothos beds supporting nitrate redction for 10 years on multiple tanks and have done many videos on the topic. I would consider Pothos more of a plant "novelty" than a nitrite reducer. Takes a high quantity of pothos plants, growing rapidly to make a dent in nitrates for a closed system. Worst case, some folks may think with pothos they can do fewer water changes and in fact end up with hight nitrates. Hate to "rain on your parade", but that is my experience.
@KaveManAquatics
@KaveManAquatics Жыл бұрын
I would never advocate for less water changes just because you have some plants in or on the tank. Most of my steady and consistent subscribers already know that about me. I do disagree with how well Pothos removes nitrates though. I myself have noticed a massive reduction with the very few I have over my 150. They, combined with my matrix have gotten my nitrates down to 0. Something I never achieved with Matrix alone. (Matrix got me down to 10-20) Besides my own experience, There are many hobbyists that can advocate for the power of Pothos.

@AquariumAficionado Жыл бұрын
I have some mean pothos growing almost 4ft across the tank well anchored in water and it really does help with nitrate reducing It does need to be well anchored(multiple spots where roots shoot down or just a good sized well grown root system) in order to make a noticeable difference. Otherwise until it grows out it is in fact a novelty. In a sense all plants in a tank are novelty until they can become established👍🤝 everybody’s right lol

I have/had that issue with one of my 3 glass lids on my 210 & one of two on my 75-gal that is jacked up. The 210-gallon was fixable because it has a metal slide in the middle connecting the two pieces of glass. If your 150 has that metal slide connector than it's as easy as making a $3 or $4 purchase on Amazon. That would be "Aqueon Silcone" which is aquarium safe of course as it is for aquariums. The nozzle was shit! Nothing would come out, so I keep cutting more off the nozzle, so on, eventually I squeezed so hard that the bottom of the tube burst open. Next time I won't even try to use the application nozzle & neither should you. You can use your fingers if needed to apply just have a dry rag handy to easily wipe it off (wet rag or soap & water won't work). I over did it, put globs of silicone on the glass portion that inserts into the connector & in the connector itself. I had damaged the tube so I could only use it once anyhow, so I got my money's worth. It came out fine but far from professional. It was the $200 I was saving by not needing to buy a set of 3 new glass lids that matter most. It did stink to high hell also. Had bring outside for an hour to let it air out. As for the 75-gal glass lid that did not have A metal connector just silicone or whatever. I have no way of fixing that, so I just use as two separate pieces & I'm no need or rush to replace or repair that. If you have the metal connector & you glass keeps sliding out "Aqueon Silicone" it was literally 3 or 4 dollars on Amazon. Good luck!

Then use clothes pegs, binder clips etc to fasten to side of tank. metal ties, shoelace, dental floss etc to connect your diy plant holder to the clip. The choices are endless and you are not buying plastic just for this purpose.

Very minimal. I dont have that many pothos above. You would need a lot to see a substantial change in nitrate levels.

They might get a little “leggy” as they grow in low light conditions. Keep them pinched back (the growing tip) to keep them bushy.

If you have a HOB filter, you can place the roots/plants there. If not, use a piece of larger diameter black plastic pipe, drill holes, then insert your stem down into the pipe. Roots grow down into the pipe but are protected from nibbling fish.

@KaveMan Aquatics I just uploaded my first video of my new 1000L 300G African Cichlids Tank. You'll be pleasantly surprised, I am really proud of it 😀 I already ordered the Potholes hangers to put behind with my equipment so the fish won't get to the roots! Please let me know what you think of the tank! I've been watching most of your content before going big with the African Cichlids! Nice work man!
