There is a true kindness in your voice, you really care about animals and other people. I hope your passion for animals and nature brings you even more happiness as time goes on, and that you experience even more success. I like seeing an honest person on KZbin who isn’t just a mouth piece and really cares. You will go far my friend, you just have to always keep believing in yourself.

Very helpful video but 20% daily water change until correction is definitely not the simplest or easiest approach. Nothing clears green water algae and bacterial blooms easily within just a few hours except Jungle Clear Water (potassium permanganate) or Tetra Cleaning Bacteria. By contrast, Poly-Fil, water clarifier liquids, water polisher pads, and UV sanitizers take DAYS to show any improvement at all.

Yea this is true because when I first rescaped my new tank I had to change water every single week or 2 times a week and after I started adding more fast growing plants to my aquascape like pogostemon stelatus octopus they started growing like weeds and I just kept on trimming and replanting to the point that I have a whole wall of it on the background and it’s super cool to see and now I don’t have to do water changes for a month or more it’s basically balanced and yes I still test the water to check everything is good

I kept saltwater and freshwater for 40 years now with no problems and never do water changes. I use homemade plexiglass tops that stop water evaporation and use sponge or homemade internal filters, and internal pumps. My very first aquarium was a 20 gallon saltwater hexagonal tthat had a 2 foot yellow-headed moray eel from a garage sale. I kept it for 9 years and he was three feet for most of that time with a hang on filter and an under gravel filter and I hardly ever changed the water. I also never test and I always enjoy my fish!

I’m new to the game here and my daughter is stressing out. Cloudy water and I have prime and stability bottles, clear drops, test strips, it’s so confusing. You mention plexiglass top on your comment and homemade sponge filter. I don’t have a full top on my tank it has partial cover and lights. Do I need to cover the lid fully?

@@df4480 cloudy water is usually from over feeding or a ph problem, did you cycle? Never get in a hurry adding too much to quickly. My top only has a corner removed large enough for the air hose and cords for the heater and circulation pump. An easy/cheap way to get started is with guppies or mollies that can be acclimated to saltwater. I moved 8 years ago and restarted with guppies as it takes the stress out of cycling. My first salty added was a royal grama baslett that had ick and the ick killed them all as I tried every medication available until I used a crazy amount of heat to stop the ick, I believe it was 92 degrees Fahrenheit and the baslett survived. P.s. I have a breeding population of guppies in a freshwater pothos planted tub setup making the hobby both fresh and saltwater easier as well. I do everything with them first.

I know I am late to the party but…. I really appreciate your knowledge of what the cause and effects are. Of course keeping that water clear requires a little help by us hobbyists. Don’t over stir the gravel or Stratum or whatever you are using. I use Stratum in one tank and not in another. I love seeing the growth in both tanks. By the way, thank you, at 8:35, for solutions too!

I started with a 3.5 gal tank with a Betta and mystery snail. Also bladder snails introduced themselves in on some plants. Keeping the water parameters good was a hard task. I now have a fortress 10 gal for my Betta. Water changes aren't needed, the tests all read good. But due to the bioload from the snails. I do it every week. After water change I dose tank with stability, have had great results.

Hi Nick. I may be wrong here but just thinking out aloud. The white cloudiness is caused by the heterotrophic bacteria which cause the bacteria bloom & which are the same bacteria that you use when culturing infusoria for fry by decomposing organic vegetable matter. The bacteria feed on the organic matter creating a bacteria bloom making the water milky & the infusoria then feed on these bacteria & multiply and make the water clear once they mature. Therefore wouldn't it make sense to add infusoria to a cloudy tank to feed on these bacteria & clear up the bacterial bloom. These infusoria will then provide food for the fish in the tank. Please let me have your thoughts on the same. Thanks once again for providing great content. 👍👌

Starting up with just washed out gravel and driftwood with one bole aegagropila and some vallisneria spiralis also produces cloudy water. Because of the driftwood you want to do some daily water cycles and turned the leds off. My approach doesn’t match with a dark start without plants and 2 months soaked and cooked driftwood. I can’t find any answers for temperature. Not into brewing beer but will definitely be a factor 🍺

How about water getting on the glass outside if the aquarium causing it to go foggy white foggy? Just happened today. My fish gold fancy gold 9 year old goldfish had to get into my set tank washed gravel unwashed sand put in 3 weeks ago. It is 3.5 ft long by 22 inches height 13 inches width. She was going upside down. In the other tank with my 9 year old blackmoor goldfish fancy goldfish. Both fish gold fish fancy goldfish have disease and are slowly dying. I am now seeing in the tank with a repaired bottom what I did fix with some fish friendly glue stuff and a sheet of glass over the bottom crack then did thick layer of sand and washed gravel left it half way kept the filthyvwater to sink the sand so sand 3z weeks sinking cos I made the assumption that sand sinks. Welsh river sand. It does with no gilder and not airstone but it took that long. 3 weeks so today Cecilia was dying upside down. Just took lots of effort today. I sm disabled. Metal hip my ex broke my tight arm 4 times st the high bone upper right arm. I am 55 do just to say monument effort to lift buckets of water. I bought a bilge pump so in go plants have fern and a load of those erichrnicia something. They are crap gatherers. I hate them. Neverming oh a very hood dude stick heater the olde bubbly machine a hob filter. And a Marina single which goes inside she likes with her bacteria on it snd LOL Suts the blackmoor has not gone belly up but going down yo clean his aquarium the other babies came ftom. He has got white spot. He is a huge specimen. Worth thousands of pounds in money and he is dying but white spot doesn't kill so he's not dying, he just looks shite he needs to wallow in this app rubbish stinky medicine then I will chuck him carefully in a bucketvof water whist completely cleaning his sithole up. Takes 3 hours. Same sized aquarium as mardy madam. She sits for England. White spot. How to get rid of it? Just vegan? Or should I kill him? He looks so depressed and so I was going to stab him through the heart. It's very quick. Done it before. Doesn't bother me. Or should I chuck him in the filthy pond indoors. Need to either kill him or cure him. My vets don't know what a goldfish is. That's anyway I love him but a skewer is better than white spot isn't it lads? I don't want him suffering white spot do I? Should I kill him?

I used to use a homemade water polisher that I learned from Joey the DYI King. And it did work great

Nice video, thumbs up man! I have gotten to cloud an aquarium with no livestock yet in it, just a lot of food in there and I dont want to lose the excess "waste" in the aquarium, just matter conversion. I did raise temps, there is an HOB doing a tiny bit of work and today I did add an airtstone and took a tiny bit of the surface film out with a napkin for surface agitation. I intend to have a population explosion in rotifers/moina/daphnia before I put in the fish, and sadly I don't want to add ramshorn in there because they would wreck all the dead leaves I put for cover for future microfauna, as you may know, a few ramshorn can decimate dead leaves in a matter of days. The bioload atm is immense but I was wondering if the foul smell at the surface was normal since I was lacking flow and an airstone previously(3 days ago) and if it will go away in a week or so. After I cleared some surface stuff I also added new weapons to tone down nitrates, salvinia variants, some hygro i had on hand, hornwort and frogbit to see what does best. I also mixed PH down to drop ph significantly for quicker nutrient uptake, so in all of this madness...can I do better? anyone?

I’m keeping crawfish as pets and the tank has been awfully cloudy lately. I’ve been told that they produce a lot of waste. I’ve been using top fin biological cleaner. I’m also using API accu clear. What could I do to maintain the tank?

I used to breed cray fish for several years and they are dirty smelly creature's and not a great deal you can do to keep them clean.

I just upgraded to a 25 gallon tank. I’ve never used more than 10 gallons. I use well washed river rock … decoded I hated it when the water clouded up… I bought new and washed it!! It went cloudy with the first feeding, I waited two days had clear water, on the first feeding it went cloudy… I’m blaming not knowing a high volume eco system or something … I’ve never ever had troubles with 10 gallons or less

I don't know what to do with my tank at all. I clean the filter all the time I have a 4 gallon tank and only have 2 fish in it and two shrimp. I am new to owning a tank. My filter is one that came with the tank it's just cartrges that I am only supose to change once a month but I have this fuzzy green stuff growing on my live plants and I keep getting the green stuff on the glass inside of the tank. I got a fish tank cleaning sponge to clean the glass I only feed the fish by what the guy told me at the fish shop to feed just two clicks of the fish food I have. I don't know what to do at all. Please help.

Awesome video! I liked the diagram of the nitrogen cycle. Could you add another loop to that diagram that illustrates what happens when there are too many heterotrophic bacteria? That would be awesome, but I can almost visualize what you're talking about
