Did that mount come with that hanging light? I've been looking for a new light setup but I like the way that light isn't attached or sitting on the tank.

[@christinehenderson3068]

Stores put root inhibitor on store bought potatoes to extend the life of the potatoe. Try with an organic one

[@deborahcollis9814]

I have grown sweet potatoes in my tanks. I usally use the slips not the potatoes themselves. As a further experiment, once you get a good runner peg it to some soil.

[@AQUAPROS]

hahah ya I figured it would just be the leaves, but what if you had a super elaborate setup with pots of soil nearby

[@NiX_aKi]

You can make salad out of the sweet potato leaves. Just blanch it. For the dressing you can use apple cider vinegar with some honey or sugar, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. You can also add some diced onions and tomatoes for texture. It's perfect with grilled chicken. Now I'm hungry.. Hahaha!

[@AQUAPROS]

no way, ok I got some more reading to do!

[@DeanoSupremo1]

I grew a sweet potato once in my aqaurium. It was awesome and had a dense root system in the tank and purple vines and leaves on the outside

[@AQUAPROS]

That's tight, ya it seems like one of the best ways to get crazy foliage, I just wonder how bad the clean up is after its attached itself to your walls for 6 months...

[@DeanoSupremo1]

@@AQUAPROS wasn't too bad tbh and thankfully no attaching to walls haha

[@janicelundberg1956]

What a SWEET idea! I gotta give it a shot! It looks so cool!

[@AQUAPROS]

😁😁🫡

[@robertbakerii5469]

I love this experiment. I’m gonna try it right now.

[@AQUAPROS]

Thanks Robert!

[@rosemarydudley9954]

Great video. I never thought of sweet potato. What a lovely idea to get rid those pesky, unwanted snails. I had a bunch of them come in on a floating plant. (Bladder snails)

[@ZaneofAustin]

I think if they grew roots they're not a failure you just gotta give them some more time and id bet they perk up

[@shesellsfish]

Pretty cool. People trippin' me out with what's up with the food coloring? Is it sus? Explain yourself. Is that food coloring? Dang, chill people, Mike's back to running experiments and playing around with things. The Sweet Potatoe Saga Continues... Looking forward to part 2. 👍❤️👍

[@AQUAPROS]

Ate too many potato leaves, lost my color vision 🤪🤪🤪

[@avalon5957]

I have a few sweet tater vines growing in some vases at the moment, just for the look, and 2 out of 3 sprouted months ago and are growing like crazy, but the last one is still just being a potato. I know that they give them growth preventatives so they don't sprout during shipment, which is probably why it's not growing. If that's the case for the ones you have, do you know if the treatment can be harmful to the enviroment in the aquarium?

[@yanjijay6752]

Wow did you know the leaves are aslo edible not raw though & now I'm going to try this

[@AQUAPROS]

I did not know that, eating one now tho

[@UKFishCam]

Never thought of doing this! Might give it a go

[@AQUAPROS]

do ittttt!

[@brandonterry6194]

GRATITUDE 💥🥔💥

[@jarrenherbert8852]

Only Mike would think to grow a sweet potato in his fish tank 😂

[@AQUAPROS]

i mean, ya you might be right...

[@Rycleong]

sweet potato leaves are edible. You should try.

[@Jesse-Savvy]

You stressed the plant, that's all. (I imagine) give it some time to bounce back, clean out the dead and then give it another ammonia test.

[@AQUAPROS]

Thats the plan 😎🫡

[@hunlem2156]

From my understanding plants can absorb ammonia directly. Since no other living organisms in there it shouldn't affect it

[@AQUAPROS]

Ya i mean the plant will def prefer nh3, but typically people are battling nitrate, thats what i wanted to look at :)

[@sabbirahmedshaon9969]

dose Normal potato work?

[@hkk3656]

I potatoe, 2 potatoe, 3 potatoe...please no more. 😂

[@scottlincoln9900]

you need to use fertilizer water to grow them. All potatoes are grown in fertilize soil dude.

[@LN_Six_Pennywise_Fnaf]

I only root the vine slips ( that I took from the potato ) in the tank, but I will never put the actual "potato" in the tank - they can rot, thus polluting the water and killing your fish.. ☠☠

[@2roddmann2]

Would evaporation affect concentration levels? Seems like it would. Just curious.

[@AQUAPROS]

Ya totally, was hoping wr would have an answer before that really made a difference tho... 🤷‍♂️

[@LisajustLisa]

Can you use a white potato?

[@sdqsdq6274]

lol , i happen to grow it the same way , what interesting you have it so deep in , while mine was 1/4 in water, it died off when i sink it 1/2 in , also there a purple leaf species , might try again when i get that ,looks more cooler

[@AQUAPROS]

ya there's a ton of variability here, im still not sure what the best practices are....

[@toospook9551]

What size and where did you get that tank the potato is in?

[@chrisknight6410]

Nice looking plant

[@AQUAPROS]

Thanks a lot!

[@kingkong-rj8yp]

Does putting sweet potato do any benefit to tank or the fishs ???

[@thehairywoodsman5644]

instead of using the whole sweet potato I just cut about an inch off the end and set it cut side down in the top of a HOB the roots will flow out into the tank and the vines grow up and all over the place. this way you get to eat the rest of the potato ..... also this is how I get slips to plant more sweet potatoes.

[@AQUAPROS]

yooo thanks! im def gonna try that!!!!!!!!

[@christianryan1970]

Was that a box of food coloring behind the tree tank? 🤔

[@AQUAPROS]

For my co2 bubble counter, not sus i swear 😁🫡

[@Apriliars]

Okay can you please explain the super sus food coloring behind the bowl because it’s driving my wife and I crazy we both noticed it 😂 and now we need to know you’re results haven’t been altered

[@AQUAPROS]

Haha good eye! It was gonna be added to my co2 drop checker thats on the science tank, never got to it tho, i see what yur sayin tho! Ha!

[@Apriliars]

@@AQUAPROS 🤣 nice okay

I just let comment to help you a bit with algorithm😅 350k subs, 5k views... Did u stay in the 'confort zone' during all this time? 😊 This channel was a real entertainment at the beginning 😢

[@jonny_mazerati9410]

We better get to see you eat it

[@AQUAPROS]

😉

[@billseigs]

Putting an air pump in the bowl is stupid? I would guess it prevents the rotting

[@AQUAPROS]

🤷‍♂️ maybe idk

[@Sup3rBadAss]

will this work in my saltwater tank? jk of course

[@sdqsdq6274]

never try never know .....

[@rickyd1126]

Bro it’s upside down…. If you want to pass 3 months…. You know what can’t finish this. It’s not a potato or spud
