Maintenance On A New Planted Aquarium - The First 2 Months - Step by Step Tutorial

[@charlesrosenberg77]

I wish there were more videos like this out there. I'm always interested in the long term evolution of an aquascape, how it looks when it's just planted, when it's going through growing pains, what it looks like when matured, and how it looks when it's maintained for a year or more. Obviously, challenging to accomplish from the content creation side, but very educational for us viewers :)

Thank you, we're glad you like it. 😄

[@mwinie]

I love this video! Finally someone is showing the everyday issues we all face when setting up an aquarium. Personally, I had constant problems with driftwood. It took ages before it went to the bottom and I had a huuuge growth of the fungy slimely thing you also mentioned. Unfortunately, in my case neither otos neither amanos didn't want to consume it, so I was left alone with a toothbrush... I really had to be patient but it's getting nicer and nicer and I envy my husband who's working from home and can observe it almost all day long.

can share on the light setting, do we go full 100% short photoperiod, or half intensity longer photoperiod?

[@bencolbridge8330]

Yes - this would be very useful! Tommy....?

[@annakai588]

I was about to ask the same question!

[@tigersunruss]

Yep wondering the same thing. I have huge green algae problem that I have to siphon out every 2-3 days. Been doing half nutrients and I've cut down my light to 5 hours at full intensity. This just started so have no idea if it's going to work.

[@GreenAquaShop]

We use 7-8 hours of lighting at 100%.

I love how you put the wood together (thank you Lori 😂🤗💚) I agree the subject of fertilizers has always been confusing.. but I've learned a lot with you guys and I thank you so much for all the experience you share!! So I've made it to setting up my second aquascape. I set one up for my daughter!! All of your tips have absolutely helped me create more successful aquariums!!🙏 The daisy rice fish are stunners and definitely deserve more attention! This video is really helping me in what to expect with the newly planted tank! We are just on week one so we're looking forward to seeing it grow in! One thing we don't have right now is a proper light and actually had to set up a DIY one. Definitely aquascaping on a budget 😁 we are looking for some Otto's now!! Thank you all so much for all the tips with the tools!! Another great tutorial!! I hope everybody there at Green Aqua is having a very blessed weekend!!🙏💚🌿🐟🌿

Great video, very knowledgeable and helpful! I did notice one discrepancy and that was that Tommy said that the slime on the wood was fungus, this is actually the tree sap that gets expelled from the wood as the water in the tank takes its place. No hate I just thought I would point that out. Fantastic video!

[@GreenAquaShop]

[@adammatthew1311]

Thank you! You got me started this new hobby after watching all your videos. I guess this video came at the right time, I am 2 weeks into the new water cycle and I noticed my Monte Carlo and Staurogyne repens started melting away and thread algae forming around it. Any idea why is it so? And what should I do?

[@GreenAquaShop]

Algae comes because of the melting. The melting is a transformation of the plant into the underwater form. We do see that sometimes, with lean fertilizers we like to add more Nitrate and Phosphate ferts on the side to promote growth.

At last a video from day 1!! Could you please answer two more things which I was missing from the video: 1. Do I have to decrease the light intensity in the first few weeks and how many hours should I let them on. 2. The CO2 should be running all the time on low or normal dose and should stop 2 hours before the lights go off. Thank you for the great video!

[@GreenAquaShop]

We always use full light intensity from day 1. 8 hours per day. We start the CO2 two hours before the lights and stop it with the lights. Check out our tutorials on the channel, there's a playlist. Cheers.

[@DamienBuckley]

Great video. With the recommendation for quantity of snails and shrimp etc, are these numbers correct if you add them all or just if you add one type?

[@Iron00001]

At about 9:58 you put the lily pipe into liquid. I guess that it is your CleanIt liquid requiring 30-60 minutes time to be effective. Is it OK for the bacteria in the external filter to have the filter turned off for that amount of time?

[@GreenAquaShop]

For lily pipes usually shorter time is enough. But a water change typically takes an hour or so.

I'm at week 2 of my very first scape. So far I haven't seen any issues but its definitely got me on edge waiting for it to all go wrong

[@tigersunruss]

Learning process, you'll figure out a lot of things like, do I have enough filtration? How's my water flow? Are my lights on to much, too little? Am I dosing enough ferts, or to much? It's a balance issue we all go through and it's frustration. This video makes it look like it's easy but it's not. These guys have been doing this for years so they know how to set up everything to work better than the rest of us. Not that I'm down playing the video, it's a good one, just not enough explanation to all the questions I just presented to you.

Your water is so clear woah!! What filter medias do you use? Any tips on how to keep water crystal clear?

[@GreenAquaShop]

We do have the same materials on all of our filters. Seachem Matrix and we also have Seachem Purigen for clear water.

[@woltergrant]

At 13:40 when you are brushing the algae off the wood and it’s dust is plooming up, what is your experience with this causing it to spread to like your rocks, glass, plants etc. ? I know you can stop your filter and do a WC after but even so, is it likely this can cause it to spread to other areas or do you often find that it does not?

[@GreenAquaShop]

We do big water changes after the brushing, or even during the process... Spreading is not a problem, spores will spread everywhere anyway.

[@fabioprata9539]

Nothing like a good old nature style 😁. One question, do you follow ADA recommendations for dosing the fertilization? You also use always Purigen in the filter, right? Great video! Thanks!

[@GreenAquaShop]

With this much light you would have a lot of algae. Plant density would be different as well. Probably the overall health too
