Please note*✅ If I felt the crack was due simply because of the light fixture I would no longer use it and I would most certainly let you guys know about. I refuse to use products I don't trust or believe in. ✌🙂

So clean 👌

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

Thanks brother!

[@robertfletcher3421]

Nice tank and I agree with a nano on the desk or next to it. I have one and it gets the most attention.

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

Oh for sure! especially in a work place environment!

[@mjnaquatics5373]

Another awesome scape! Any chance on getting a video on your co2 setups, what products you use in them and how you set them up? Thanks!!

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

Noted! Thank you! ✌🙂

[@BellMichael-sh4xi]

@@ThePlantedTankTV I agree. I would very much like a roundup of your preferred brands of gear and supplies, specifically the following: rimless tanks, lids, lights, filters, heaters, ferts, substrates, water treatment, C02, water movement/pumps and aquascaping tools. Maybe this spans multiple vids.

[@mountainhobbit1971]

damn that song you chose for this video has some 'bumpin' bass! I am digging the minimalist design also, a lot! nice job as usual Jay! Love the pencil fish. The WaterBox 6 is a sweet little tank.

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

Thanks man! It's by far my favorite setup. Probably going to pick up a few more pencils to keep them happy. ✌🙂

[@brandonchin2693]

Beautiful tank man! Are you using water in your bubble counter? Not sure why the bubbles seem to moving slow to my eyes? Haha

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

Thank you! but no it is mineral oil! ✌🙂

[@duncandonuts5268]

I kinda go all out in terms of tank size for my fish. I believe in giving them lots of room to explore. With that said, would this be a good betta tank, or should I get a Clear 10?

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

Both are great options for a betta but I'd go with a clear 10 because it isn't that much more money.

[@beaka63]

Just FYI, Waterbox is having a sale right now--1/2 price on their 6-16 g clear "mini."

[@duncandonuts5268]

@@beaka63 I saw. I'm usually right on top of these sort of things, but I just got out of quarentine and have no money because I couldn't work lol

[@beaka63]

@@duncandonuts5268 oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that! Shipping is free too!

[@heres_the_sauce]

I ordered one of those clear mini 6 tanks too! And some other sizes lol. Probably will transfer my blue dream shrimp setup to it. P.s. this minimal scape looks 🔥😍

I can't wait for it to fill in! Thank you man! ✌🙏🙂✌🙏

J, what brand of timers do you use for your Current USA lights?

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

I use ming dak online timers from amazon. ✌😍

[@waqasabid1]

Beautiful tank as always. Is that just one lonely oto in their. I heard they like company of atleast 3 or more

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

Yeah I bought a bunch of em years ago and he's the last one alive. 😢

[@TankTastic]

that waterbox logo is hella high LOL

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

There's quite a thick layer of substrate in there.

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

Yep that's the way me and my plants like it. It's only 2.5 inches. Makes the soil last longer too.

[@BellMichael-sh4xi]

J, is there a way to direct contact you thru DM or email for questions? You are a fantastic resource for those of us just starting out with planted.

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

Follow me on ig and shoot me a message any time!

[@SlickNick3]

Nice and simple love it! I’d love to see you scape a 40b one day! I can only imagine what you’d come up with!

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

I don't think I'll ever buy another rimmed tank to be honest! Maybe when I buy a house? lol

[@SlickNick3]

I’m with you there! That’s exactly what I’m waiting on at the moment!

[@BellMichael-sh4xi]

Heater?

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

nope!

[@BellMichael-sh4xi]

@@ThePlantedTankTV What determines whether you use a heater or not in your tanks?

[@duncandonuts5268]

How many inches deep is your substrate?

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

I would say it's in between 2.5-3 inches. ✌🙂
