CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER IN 125 GALLON AQUARIUM, AND HOW I ACHIEVE IT

[@adamc7918]

Sorry everyone, the clip where I discuss the canisters keeping the water clear i accidentally deleted. In short, I have an fx6 with all bio media, mainly marine pure spheres, and I have an fx4 packed with chemi pure blue. With bio filtration and something like chemi pure blue the only way you'll have cloudy water is if you feed too much, stir up the substrate too often, or have a very heavily stocked tank

Wow that’s gorgeous

Thank you Karen

More of a 125 gallon showcase than a “how I keep my water clear” video. Either way, beautiful aquarium 👍🏼

Sweet! Whatever happened to your Tropheus albino kipillis? I don't seem to recall a video on those in quite some time.

[@adamc7918]

I ended up selling them a while ago. I really needed the space and their aggression was wearing me out

[@phillymanpete]

@@adamc7918 Tropheus are badass, but it takes a lot of work (and $$$$) to establish a large colony with the correct sex ratio so that the aggression can be minimized. Anyway, those albino kipilis are very cool!

[@adamc7918]

Yes, I could have kept them and it would have been fine, but I had a good offer and I sort of needed the tank space

[@edwardbishop3209]

As always awesome how are your placadon doing are they eating any snails

[@adamc7918]

Thanks Edward, ive seen 1 of the males eating snails. Im sure the others have I just haven't seen it

[@edwardbishop3209]

@@adamc7918 I'm thinking of getting a few myself have the same issue trumpet snails what a pain they are

[@adamc7918]

Yes they can be. My old chilotilapia rhoadess would destroy snails. Id hear him cracking the shells from across the room.

@@adamc7918 I have a 125 gal I sift the sand every week to get rid of some thanks for that info maybe one of them also I just need a little more help lol

[@adamc7918]

If you dont want to add fish to eat them you could always treat the tank with a snail killer, but you have to remove all your fish

Thanks for watching

[@aussbasstony9763]

Have you used just Purigen and had the same results or only Chemi Blue is that just Purigen with Charbon mixed?

[@adamc7918]

I have used purigen and had equally great results. I prefer Chemi pure blue because it lasts significantly longer than purigen and I dont have to tend to the canisters as often with the blue

Anytime

...but then you feed them and its all over for the clear water. 😉

Haha, no kidding, like an endless cycle

Hey Adam I'm interested in a leptura green as u no they've been held hostage for astronomical prices if u have any for sale get back to me

[@adamc7918]

Hi Kevin, I understand your frustration. My group hasn't bred yet, I'm keeping them intact until I see which male is willing to breed. At that point I may or may not consider selling a male, but I will be selling juveniles when I have them

[@kevin-justacs1008]

@@adamc7918 I have 3 bucco I need leptura green and heterotania excuse spelling

[@adamc7918]

Those are always the 2 hardest to get. The green group took me 18 months to put together. My heterotania group took me 6 months but I paid a lot to get them

[@kevin-justacs1008]

@@adamc7918 I can imagine thanx for getting back to me

[@adamc7918]

Youre welcome Kevin, stay tuned to the channel and when I have greens available I'll talk about them

[@sopanroy1506]

But😐 you said nothing about filtration

[@adamc7918]

I accidentally deleted the filter clip

[@sopanroy1506]

Do you run sumps 😁?

[@adamc7918]

I have in the past. Right now I'm not running any
