More Banter on Fish Tanks
Hi! Would love some suggestions on how to deal with our algae problem. We do weekly water changes but within a week the water is starting to turn green again. We also had hair algae growing on our moss so we removed it for now. The fish don’t seem bothered by it and our water parameters seem good too, but I am worried it could become a problem for them. We have tried using Interpet Green Away, but don’t really like using more chemicals than necessary and it makes the water milky. It’s a 210L planted aquarium with 4 otos and 18 tetras (hoping to had a few more gradually). Our tank is already in a pretty dark corner of the room and we have reduced light hours. The heater is set to the minimum recommended tolerance of the fish we have and plan to get (23 degC). Could it be that our filter isn’t sufficient? Or the fact we have a soil substrate below the gravel? Thank you
We did consider this but we have completely controlled any natural light on the tank, reduced the number of hours our tank light it on and even removed the blue light (our tank light has white red and blue) because we read that blue light encourages blooms. We don’t really want to reduce the light any further because then the fish and the plants will be sat in darkness for most of the day.
But you can starve a tank of light for a few days. It won't really affect your plants that much. Your plants are most likely suffering from light deprivation anyway because of how bad the algae is. I forget which nutrient it is but excessive amounts will cause a bloom. Hair algae feeds on phosphates from fish waste. Make sure you're vacuuming the gravel to remove it. Water changes frequently throughout the week should help as well.
We were going to but we’re told they produce a fair amount of waste which could encourage algae so we got otos instead. If they’re bottom feeders, would they actually remove the algae from the water column?
Too much light or too much heat. Decrease the light time, I recon and if your tank is in a sunny spot, I’d put a cover over it during the day.
How are your parameters good when the water looks like this? Feed less. Water changes. Reduce photo period. What's stock. well we are using strip tests atm as they came with the tank (probably less accurate and do plan to change). We feed the fish once every two days and it is mostly all eaten within 5-10 minutes. We have our photoperiod set to under 8 hrs currently, lessen this still? Do you mean stock as in the type of fish?
I dont know why im finding it extremely hard to find some lights for my 72 gallons tank whats the absolute best light out there for plants high tech. I just use 4' shop lights on mine. You can stager them. 1 side all the way to the end and the other one to the end on the other side! Works great! I an constantly trimming my plans because they have grown so much.
Just jump on eBay to find some of those cheap plant lights from China that's what I work the brilliant I've never had a problem with them and they're super super cheap. Greatest some store in America and buy really really expensive lights.
I can't tell people enough about cheap shop lights that you can pick up at Walmart. My plants took off once I made the jump.
I have my flow slowed right down for my betta and cos of that there’s not much water getting into the intake filter is ok but will it affect my biological filtration like cos my nitrates are always high.
No bacteria will remove nitrates. That’s why water changes are needed, to remove the nitrate. If they are always high that means water changes are needed.
Nitrates being always high means you need to increase water change schedule or decrease feeding. The end result of the nitrogen cycle is nitrates. The beginning of the nitrogen cycle is fish waste.
...anaerobic bacteria DOES remove nitrates.
What do you have on your outflow? You can get a flow bar to slow down the water then aim it toward the back glass to reduce it further without losing your filters GPH and effecting your filtration.

“Shop lights is kinda what I get off to” lol I was dying 😂

[@stoneysscapes7544]

Seriously the first time I saw the way u did your DIY room divider / entertainment center 💡 WOOD racks full of planted 2tanks , house plants & to complete your vision coming to life , a couple of flat screens for the Palmer Pad to start your new home off w the determination you have and its been awesome to say the least . Kudos to you and thank you because you saved me from buying a muscle rack that would not have looked anywhere as good as wood

[@prawst]

every time i look for a specific plant you're always there for me

[@PalmerAquatics]

Love me some plants 🙏

[@matthewmay6893]

My man you’ve been very personal. You gave me great advise and was super cool about advise so…. No worries you rock my guy

[@PalmerAquatics]

Awwww thanks!! 😇

[@its4amB4sunrise]

I just found your videos today and they are amazing. Your delivery is as if I’m in the room talking to you. It’s easy to watch, learn, and follow. Thank you

[@kylelovesfish]

Love it!! Keep it up!! Love the direction you are going in!!! Appreciate you!!!

[@chasitydomenici109]

I think you are always very personable. Your videos are ALWAYS extremely helpful as well! Thank you for making these videos. I just bought ludwigia today and was having a hard time keeping it planted in my substrate so its nice to know it can float as well :)

[@stoneysscapes7544]

I never plant the background w stems , attach weights or tied to rock , wood or find plant suction cups ... Better growth w a weekly liquid fertilizer after a water change ☯️

[@CasualAquatics]

Firstly I need to look up this plant! Secondly I think your very personable. You fun energetic energy is addictive it makes your vids fun to watch and last but not least live streams. Like some of the other comments think you should do a mix podcast styles solo lives and possibly special guest etc stay awesome chris!!!!!!

[@namelessone5968]

for lighting tho, instead of shop lights, I highly suggest just going straight for floodlights that are labeled "daylight" for budget lighting. You get better shadows, deeper light penetration and you get that shimmer effect similar to expensive planted tank lights. It's also more discreet compared to the typical shop lights.

[@brandonramirez7336]

I have come to the realization that me and you are different a few of us are but not many I realized I have more tanks than most youtubers haha just started up my 13th love your content thanks bro!!

[@katya4802]

I just subscribed and I liked how you were or I wouldnt have. You are doing fine.

[@rap_subliminal4rials726]

Thanks for the video, maklemore 👌

[@tshobbiesandthings]

Yet another great video. As far as live streams or video,I lean towards videos, ONLY because I always seem to miss the live streams...lol

[@taramansion]

I'm not sure about the other states, but in FL it's a native plant. There are cultivars too, but the original version is native. I'm going to grow it in my pond for this reason. Thanks for the care info.

[@olthousem02]

I Love your videos

[@plumber1331]

Great videos and set ups.. where do you get the blasting sand from and what brand. Thxs

[@wisconsinaquatics]

Looks cool man I totally dig your fishy enthusiasm lol I Judy built a cool little mini invert tank sump

[@MFTAQ]

Great info brother, I would say try to find a topic to start with but let the chat direct you in your stream.

[@fredrickfernandes8757]

In my tank ludwigia repens grows well but as it grows bottom leaves have algae on them which though can be rubbed out or cleaned by hands but any specific reasons what could be growing wrong is it light penetration till the bottom?

[@EVERYTHINGGUY226]

Nice video buddy

[@tanyaroberson9394]

Was the wood you found kayaking fresh or dried out? Can you put fresh wood in a tank? What kind of wood is that? Its cool!

[@majestickingz5135]

I’m in the process of growing repens right now however they’re long side shoots coming off the stems would it be wise to cut it and remove or let floating in the water and or to cut and plant it them?

[@raisinggoldfishonabudget7058]

I must be doing something wrong, cause I got some from 2 different people & 2 mons later they have lost all the leaves from the bottom 1/2 way up the stem. I put some in a floating basket in the goldfish pond & those are getting new leaves & new roots. So maybe you can tell me what I'm missing in the tank that I put them in & why they are growing better in the goldfish stock pond, I don't get it.

[@GlitchAQ]

I say mix up the lives and do something different each week. You know I'll be watching either way lol. Just started playing around with diy CO2 (citric acid/baking soda).

[@liquidrockaquatics3900]

6 20 gallon tanks is 120 gallons, but the weight of the water alone at 8.33 lbs/gal @70F is almost 1,000 lbs. add in the equipment (glass tanks, framing, misc equipment) and you might be topping 1500 pounds. Depending on which way the floor joists run, it definitely could be a disaster. Most homes are overbuilt, but that is a tiny footprint for that much weight. If you are in an area prone to seismic activity, don’t forget to add in strapping to keep the rack from falling if there was a disturbance. I would love to see a head to head grow video between shop lights, plant lights, and a setup with co2. When the plants hit the top of the water (stem plants) cut them back halfway and replant. You could also run the same tank setup with different soils as a fun experiment. Keep the same fish in each tank.

[@dannyrozhon6532]

I'm a plant novice, so this may be a stupid question. I planted some ludwiga recently ffwd 2 weeks later I'm having an algae issue, is it related to the ludwigia?

[@morphmongal320]

Will this plant suffocate if planted in straight sand

[@mstevens6723]

I tried this plant one time. All the leaves dropped off within days. Not melted or died, just detached. It got medium to a lot of light. Whered i go wrong? Do you acclimate it a certain way? Shpuld i try again!?

[@bo_392]

your driftwood is legit SICK BRO - i've tried making my own when i found your videos on it, helped me a ton (but mine not as pretty) - show us your secrets how you design such badass natural decor! Here's a slew of questionable content ideas. I'm feeling creative. Also, I don't know if you actually have ADD or whatever (and I don't care!) but I'm rolling with it because you COULD use this to your advantage. I am trying to help (for fun). Maybe bad ideas here.

[TIME-LAPSE] I'm a little loopy now, but those are some crazy ideas from a former copywriter... that MIGHT do well and help your channel grow (or just piss off everyone). so take it with handful of salt! quality over quantity. 1-3 videos per week is how I like it. that daily filler crap youtube forces creators to make is disgusting and has literally made me unsub from some other very popular channels. anyways i enjoy your style. but mad respect for recognizing you can connect with more people if you're a little more gentle. humans are skittish fish!

[@brandonschrank476]

How do you handle the humidity in your house?

[@jadenm4198]

Hey Chris I need help.... I’m getting a ehiem jager heater on my 125 gallon but I was goin to get the 300w should that be enough or should I buy another one!?

[@CasualAquatics]

I use two 100w heaters in my 135 however I also keep my house rather warm these factors can determine if and when you need a heater at all just an opinion take it with a grain if salt

[@jadenm4198]

Hey Chris you should def do a video on trimacs I hardly see any videos on them maybe a few but not like u would see compared to Jack dempseys, oscars, green terrors, the parachromis family etc

[@Catalion100]

Can you plant it just in gravel?

[@danielrijff6828]

Well i like you

🤣😂🤣😂 WTF! I am so confused . How can you piss people off making fish videos😂🤣 I'm dying bro. By the way you can see your address through the spray paint!😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@fishtropiccanada4747]

Honestly I have been deleting channels. I got no more time for dead time. What’s funny to me, is I stepped back to see what happens. But it seems most of the community is the same thing over ,And over. And most have no personality reading off a page 📄. The rest beg you for money💰. Whats funny to me there not even taking there cloths off for it 😂 But hey I guess people be that gullible and have a hard case of fomo. You’d think with having the internet and access to info and other channels. People could come original. Nope 👎 they broke that mould long time ago. Do you man. Don’t worry about anyone else but content. Content speaks for you. And you don’t need a 3 hour live to feel needed in a community😂 that are mostly snakes 🐍 in the water than fish 🐠😂👋🤫🤫🤫

Nobody cares I’m I fish person
