Aquarium Mulm - Your Mulm is SO fat...

[@jfdd43]

Kid: dad should I clean my tank Dad: go check with your mulm...

[@TheWaterBox]

ha!

[@NYGOLD]

A fish and some mulm started dating, they had a planktonic relationship.

[@TheWaterBox]

lol!

[@curvingfyre6810]

Hey, you cant say that about my mulm, get bentonic!

[@MileHiFreshwater]

Dad: why is your moms fish tank so dirty? Son: I don’t know dad: because it’s mulmmy

[@TheWaterBox]

Heh!

[@DecayingReality]

One of my new favorite fish tubers. Exactly to the point no bs.

[@Jay_K_Fishing]

What do you call a dead fish covered in detritus? . . . . ... Mulm-ified. :D

[@TheWaterBox]

lol

[@NewArchipelago]

I made half baked attempts at sucking out mulm while siphoning water when I started out, but I haven't made any effort to remove mulm for many years. It doesn't seem to really build up into a layer anymore either. Maybe it's having better plant growth and shrimp and snails going through it and breaking it up. To be honest, after taking everything but ceramic pallets out of my filter I haven't cleaned any gunk out of there in many moons either. I have a lot of plants growing out of the water and I think that takes care of a lot of the nitrates and phosphate I guess.

[@TheWaterBox]

Right on!

[@carabarabonanza]

Idky its so funny when people say in many moons lmao

[@champion_i_r]

Is he ok?

[@georgeleiter6277]

I do water changes by-weekly, however, I do not vacuum the bottom. I have a planted tank, heavily stocked with a great ecosystem, (It works for me). 😎😎😎

[@TheWaterBox]

Sounds good. As long as it works, why break it, right?

[@slcanavan1]

I do the same! Just let that stuff decay, great plant food!

[@TheWaterBox]

right on!

[@ParteVerdeA]

I had tons of mulm in my shrimp colony (1 cm thick), and i have never seen shrimp breed that fast and I wasn’t even feeding

[@TheWaterBox]

Nice!

[@WCxColosus]

I have a fine gravel type of substrate so the mulm usually works its way to the bottom, I use it as fertilizer for my plants. I rarely vacum the gravel, I just clean the glass and do a partial water change and I'm good to go.

[@TheWaterBox]

nice!

[@chubzaquatics257]

I leave the Mulm in my planted tanks I never use a gravel vac and I find i get better plant growth that way

[@TheWaterBox]

Good to hear!

[@brianklimaszewski]

Your mulm is so thick, it can support an entire colony of shrimp! Your mulm is so fat, it can cycle a whole tank!

[@TheWaterBox]

haha!

[@laurit3116]

How do you remove it? I vacuum it up but it comes back within days in my nano tank. I have a filter and do regular water changes.

[@TheWaterBox]

You just do what you're doing. I'm not sure why it some back within days. That's a bit quick for mulm to build up unless your extremely overstocked.

You really touch on the stuff we need to know, great work🙏

Glad you think so!

[@reddawn7128]

When your mulm calls your dad hides in the in garage and getts the kids to clean the tank

[@TheWaterBox]

👍

[@varanidguy]

I typically clean mulm out as much as I can because letting it build up usually leads to unsightly algae for me, especially the BBA if it gets bad enough. Also, I typically just say "Oh please, that's a load of mulm and you know it." lol

[@TheWaterBox]

😄

[@dkbmxr18]

Lol love your videos man. I don't have jokes but you sure do 😂

[@TheWaterBox]

Haha glad to hear that.

[@Hotwheels4MyHusband]

I have so much mulm in my tank lmao 🤣 idk what to do which lead me here lmao I have süsswassertang and it's so hard to get out of the tank lmao I don't want it all gone but it would be nice to not have it EVERYWHERE 😅

[@DowntheWormHole]

Lol. Thanks for the morning giggle

[@TheWaterBox]

Any time!

[@ninorivera5560]

Hello man! Just starting the hobby and have yet to encounter that but perhaps it is good...at a certain degree not detrimental to your livestock(s). And yes, your daddy jokes are good except for the last one😁

[@TheWaterBox]

thanks! :)

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Hahahaha... Couldn't resist a title like that. Maybe work on the jokes a wee bit. 😂 Loved it but. Education and entertainment all in a nice mulm package.

[@TheWaterBox]

there it is! lol

[@Loogiemistress]

I really like the word …mulm

[@TheWaterBox]

It just rollllls off your tongue!

[@titosanchez6963]

My mulm is so fat when she sits around the tank she sits around the whole tank ❗️

[@TheWaterBox]

haha!

[@titosanchez6963]

My mulm is so fat that my dad said he will never dress up as santa 🎅 again and that she is cut off of all Christmas gifts for sitting on his lap and almost breaking his leg ‼️

[@TheWaterBox]

👍

[@JunFeril]

Your mulm so thick, it got stuck trying to cycle a new tank.

[@TheWaterBox]

😀

[@JunFeril]

On a business side, people should offer their mulm for those who wanna start the fish keeping hobby. I would have bought some instead of API "quick start"

[@TheWaterBox]

@@JunFeril That might be a viable service maybe.

[@atomicwinter31]

I have alot of mulm, so much that the algae is devouring it and taking the spotlight away from my plants. I only let the mulm that's settled in places like the soil, but above that is MY TERRITORY.

[@TheWaterBox]

👍

[@chiralvandal]

Alright, so after that third joke I have to ask. You kiss your mulm with that mouth?

[@TheWaterBox]

Haha

[@kobemaruska2223]
