[@bipolaraquatics]

Nice scape

[@AquatikGuru]

Thank you!

[@vimalramachandran]

Won't aquasoil leach ammonia if you add the betta right away instead of cycling the tank first?

[@AquatikGuru]

Yes but I used cycled filters on all my aquariums and watch my parameters, fish, plants, etc like a hawk lol. I state that in a lot of my vids that I may be different with how I raise stuff due to the amount of attention I put into my aquariums. I do appreciate seeing someone asking these types of questions tho!!

[@alonsogarcia526]

Any nano skimmer idea, I have big problem with biofilm in my flex 15.

[@AquatikGuru]

Yes! Look up the Eheim Skimmer. 8 actually have a video on it as well! Hands down best skimmer I’ve ever used!

[@alonsogarcia526]

@@AquatikGuru thank you

[@DruidDot]

What was the white stuff you placed under the rocks?

[@AquatikGuru]

Polyfil. You can get huge bags of it. Many use it in their filters as a “polisher” to catch the fine particles and make the water crystal clear. Also works great as a filler

[@Panda_MZ3]

I have the 9 gallon one and I feel like it’s too small for my big betta fish in it should I get the 15 gallon one

[@AquatikGuru]

I would! Bigger is always better. For the fish and for your enjoyment lol.

[@endur5nce]

Yo, all the tanks in your intro that you scaped are so beautiful. I hope you make some new videos soon; as I will subscribe today :)

[@AquatikGuru]

Thank you!

[@chriskerrigan4978]

Have you modified the filtration on the Fluval at all?

[@AquatikGuru]

In a couple ways yes, I’ve added a lot more ceramic rings to it via the LidPropz media basket, LidPropz “fine” intake covers, and the LidPropz low flow spray bar. You can find and see all these products in my two Fluval Flex Mods videos as well as LidPropz Shop on Etsy.

[@chriskerrigan4978]

@@AquatikGuru thanks I’ve seen those was curious to see how you set up the media baskets. I want to get rid of that foam block that comes with it

[@AquatikGuru]

I will make a video soon. Until then, I filled the left side with ceramic rings the middle section is where I added the media basket. I cut a course sponge for the bottom section, a fine sponge for the middle section, and pressed polyfil sheets for the top section. Combined, I can stir up the tank til I can’t see and within 30 min it’s crystal clear again.

@@AquatikGuru thanks for the info

[@AquatikGuru]

No problem! Apologies for not making a video yet so it’s explained better! I’ll get on it!
