I understand this. You read and watch videos and it all seems clear. Then applying it in the real world you second guess yourself. Having someone with vast knowledge help you apply what you have learned to your specific situation is so very helpful. Very interesting video. This is a great project.

These are great series for the new (or even experienced) aquarium hobbyist. I praise this woman for having the desire to make her tanks better for her fish, and reaching out to KGT. I’ve seen people so afraid to ask questions at pet stores, plus many pet stores employees are often kids who don’t know anything, nor do they care, as it’s just a paycheck for them. And because of early failures , too many people quit this wonderful hobby. I really hope this young lady finds success with her tanks and continues in the hobby.

hey kgtropicals i have been watching you guys for awhile now and just wanted to thank you for all the great information you provide. i was into aquariums for quite awhile until i accidently killed my fish. i was devastated and wanted to give it all up. i watched a few of your videos to try getting through it and i was right back in the game. you 2 have taught me so much i didn't know, or realize about fish aquariums. just wanted to thank you guys so much. if it wasn't for you i would have quit. At first i wasn't going to comment but i just watched the video where you guys talked about the person who emailed you about the cat playing in the bag and thought i would send you guys a good comment. there's enough negativity in the world right now. thanks again you guys. keep it up. PS Lisa thank you for making me a betaholic. 🙂take care guys

I was doing the same thing with water changes (though my tank was slightly more stocked). I was doing weekly 50% water changes and usually got a bacterial bloom as a result, but it would disappear after a little while so I thought "it's fine. My tank produces nitrates, so I'm pretty sure my tank is cycled. The fish probably like the cleaner water too." Meanwhile, I had trouble keeping anything other than zebra danios alive for longer than a few months. I reduced the amount of my water changes, added live plants, and now things are great.

This is great! Seeing this real life application is affirming in so very many ways because killing fish is so distressing and goes against every fiber in our being. We love our fish and want them to do well and we try hard to be perfect, then things start slipping and we panic, we try harder and push the slip into a Pratt fall and our perfect snowflake turns into an avalanche. Been there, done that, and still learning! I am 66 years old and got into fish keeping at about 1st grade with goldfish from the school fair. It has been a life long love affair made up of mostly joy but also some bitter tears and just like any long term relationship, you have to learn from your mistakes and be brave enough to keep going when the going gets tough. I have had a lot of time to dream about the goals of my hobby and the gauge on the fuel tank of my life is getting closer and closer to E, so I either have to jump ship or go for it. After much contemplation, I have decided to go for it and will be setting up my 125, 90, and 75 gallon as soon as I get some floor repairs done. It’s always something. 😂. My funds are limited but if careful and creative I can do it and my potential fish choices are to the moon and back. I will be calling on your store products and your expertise to bring these tanks to life and find myself excited at journey. Thank you for helping with your shows.😅

When I saw the test from her water sourced I audibly went, WOW! I know it’s out there so don’t get me wrong but I for am checking my water now. I love how you are passing along information and it’s being shown right in front of her what it means, where it comes from and how to deal with it. Even mentioned yeah betta like being alone but 1 fish in a tank is a long time to try to achieve a cycle if it ever does with the water changes. I know it happens and when the situation fits, it’s like a light switch and before you know it, a clean clear aquarium is no longer just a fish story. Way to be and show how never be afraid to do enough. Love you guys, stay happy and healthy my friends!!! 😊❤

Looks like a sanded tank with possibly some dirt (or some form of aquasoil) in the bottom. Maybe some of that ammonia is coming out of the substrate. As per your guidance, don't overclean. Does she have enough light? It would be interesting to see the nitrate levels once the tank settles down.

Keep spreading the joy of aquariums please. My first guess was the source of ammonia/ammonium issue is the substrate. It was hard to see the substrate and plants in the video. Was it dirt capped with sand substrate? If so maybe that is the root cause. Consistent with starting a tank with active aquasoil or organic soil. Large water changes and cleaning the decor would have minimal effect on ammonium levels. The brand new tank having sky high ammonium and the one running for a while less would also be consistent with starting a tank with ammonium rich soil. If this is the case Melissa can restart the aquariums using only a thin layer of sand and move past this issue. Hope that helps.

Sponge filters and RO top offs are all I ever do unless I see a mess like food that wasn't eaten or I need to clean the front internal glass for a clear view into the tank. I'm breeding shrimp and LF white clouds. I try to use a lot of floating plants and house plants to eat up the waste.
