ADA Mini NA - Setting Up the SMALLEST Nature Aquarium Set!!

[@RyoWatanabee]

So what shrimp are we adding in this Mini_NA?

[@mountainhobbit1971]

Sulawesi shrimp. ;-)

[@Cow_Juice]

I revised my initial answer. 😆 What about a dwarf shrimp?

[@Jack_Splendens]

Cherry shrimp, the red goes well with the green plants.

[@Cow_Juice]

@@Jack_Splendens Hi, yes I suggested that too but Ryo is right. It might grow a little too big for the size of the tank :)

[@ZebMeierWatz]

Blue Neocaridina, my favorite

[@TheAquadise]

Can’t wait for the kit to make it to the USA great little desk tank

[@IndoorEcosystem]

ADA sure knows how to nail design! Great little scape as well! Looks so good for only a few days of waiting.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yes, it’s a very stylish design. The plants grow very fast in this set up!

[@currykevuk]

Hi. I found your channel today while searching for Rice Fish. Thumbs up for your location, your choice of Crocs and your enthusiasm. Thanks from London town.

[@IAMAREALOSPREY]

I live out in the pacific north west of America and I go out in the woods to collect pummice for my aquariums, its noticeably more difficult to find in stores here than in other parts of the world. Lovely little tank system with a great aquascape, thanks for sharing Ryo.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Cool, thanks for the comment! In Japan, big home centers will readily sell pumice in the gardening section. And very cheap.

[@stoneysscapes7544]

I couldn't see buying myself one of those , bot I'd definitely be looking at buying myself two 💙💚 Thanks Ryo for sharing the new set !!!

[@RyoWatanabee]

My friend jokingly told me to get 5 so it would stand out. I said, sure if he’d pay for them 😅

[@pantanal_aquastudio]

hi @Ryowatanabee, yes it is a difuser... but is a passive way of co2 diffusion... very old technique, works too (just not so fast).

[@mentlegentlemen7409]

Enjoy the video! Pretty cool kit. Thank for the transparency...I think it'll take like $350 usd

[@woky8384]

Wow, that looks pretty good. You handled it very well, despite the small size of the aquarium.

[@RyoWatanabee]

@@woky8384 Thank you ☺️

[@zebrobertson]

I always appreciate your enthusiasm and curiosity in expanding your experience in the hobby and for sharing the the exploration with us, Ryo! I've never wanted to deal with CO2 tanks but maybe that small tank might not be too much of a bother... I kinda recall it was better to use CO2 in the day or was it the night? Thanks, Ryo!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks! Co2 I’m my experience make the plants grow better. I think the plants appreciate it too

[@juli8vdberg562]

This is a beautiful nano tank that is absolutely perfect for any small shelf in a livingroom or kitchen or bedroom but beware; I have one and I used crushed volcanic rocks in mini and topped with substrate and soil and used dennerle mekong sand and one very beautiful small seiryu stone and in front of it a gorgeous cryptocorine wendtii mini and one anubias pinto … it works great! No wood no other nothing and only one snail and three shrimps …

[@Cow_Juice]

That sounds like a great mini tank set up. Cheers to mini tanks :)

[@juli8vdberg562]

@@Cow_Juice yes it is… it is really a decorative nano tank for anyone who wants a ‘live’ piece of art, an eye catcher, anywhere. I can see this at even shops or stores on a counter or on a shelf amongst shoes or bags and just I hope people realise this is not made for a planted tank set up; this is to give ONE plant your centerpiece attention and few epiphytes or nano plants, I disagree with how in this video Ryo uses plants that need space to grow too … plants are as much alive and need space too and pls no fish in this one! Not even ONE most nano nano fish.. 3 shrimps is max and one or two snails no more

[@Cow_Juice]

@@juli8vdberg562 You spoke with clarity, conviction and with substance. I respect that deeply. Thank you for taking the time to reply. And thank you too for leaving a comment. It helps Ryo with the algorithm Cheers! :) Edit: Oh and about the well-being of the animals, you're right. Ryo is a nice guy. He thought of the animal's well being before I even did. I suggested cherry shrimps but he said they might grow too big for the tank, so yes he does have their welfare in mind :)

[@juli8vdberg562]

@@Cow_Juice perhaps just two or three ghost shrimps.. I will only add 2 no more and you’re welcome

[@easybettas]

Would make a great desk tank with some daphnia.

[@postlife7835]

Thanks for sharing Ryo ... what a beautiful kit. Can you do a follow up in a few months and let us know how the hardware is performing and your enjoyment level?

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yup, I’ll be updating regularly :)

[@jtaka1453]

What a cool looking kit!

[@RyoWatanabee]

I agree! Very different than others on the market

[@Cow_Juice]

Perfect timing for an upload Ryo. Great way to end the evening before snooze time 😃 I'm not really sure about what shrimp would best suit it, but I was thinking some Yamato shrimp might be nice. 😊

[@RyoWatanabee]

That is a nice choice but I feel they’ll get a bit too big. I was thinking red bee shrimp

[@Cow_Juice]

@@RyoWatanabee Oh yea, you're absolutely right. I do concur with your assessment. Anyway, I look forward to seeing how it turns out in the future. Cheers! 😁

[@TheNovastarrs]

tHANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!!!!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks for watching!

[@Hellacop6]

I’m actually saving for one of these, hopefully they’ll be available in Europe soon! 😊

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yes, should be available soon!

[@Hellacop6]

499€ in Europe 🤮 😅

[@kamalrazali7475]

I thought only in Malaysia I feel it pricey, even in Japan too. Anyway, we pay it for its quality and aesthetics. Great Vid man!! From Malaysia. ☺️

[@Cow_Juice]

Yes, quality truly shows. Thank you for leaving a comment. :D

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks, ADA is still the cheapest in Japan though. Because have to pay for shipping and taxes for export

[@kamalrazali7475]

@@RyoWatanabee Understood, no choice, need to buy it from the local distributor, for warranty issue. ☺️

[@fishysnowman9082]

Great video 👊🏻. Can’t wait to get one of these. ADA is the Best.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks, I've really been enjoying this system so far

[@khairilanuarabdullah9509]

What an exquisite little jewel. But not easy to maintain I would imagine.

[@RyoWatanabee]

You’re right, but it is a fun little product

[@its_elser]

great setup, boy that would be expensive in Australia

[@RyoWatanabee]

Buy it when you come to Japan. Yen is weak so it’ll be cheaper for you

[@its_elser]

@@RyoWatanabee Aus dollar is always weak.. great idea though

[@assiahinarkansas]

Love this!

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you!

[@alexandrehoertelnegri7255]

Nice vídeo. Thank you ✌

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks!

[@space_ghost_z941]

Looks good! Would buy if it was locally available XD

[@darrensnyders3909]

Would be nice to add in crypt pink flamingo😁

[@ZebMeierWatz]

Beautiful scape 🏆 I've had a small CO2-system before, and it gets too expensive, so keep an eye on that

[@RyoWatanabee]

@@ZebMeierWatz yup, you could hook up a larger co2 system on this so that you wouldn’t have to replace cylinders so often.

[@nikkiboehm1]

Thinking of getting this or a mini s with an onf flat nano which is prob the cheaper choice 😅 Just wondering, do your think the co2 machine and the pump are necessary for tanks of this size?

[@mountainhobbit1971]

I would love an ADA setup but wow, it is just not affordable for the 'average' hobbyist...you did a beautiful job setting this up though. :-)

[@RyoWatanabee]

I understand, it’s so much more expensive overseas.

[@mountainhobbit1971]

@@RyoWatanabee yeah, especially in our current economic environment in the states. You are so blessed to be able to get it there affordably. :-)

[@jollyroger6364]

How much is the cost for this?

[@RyoWatanabee]

@@jollyroger6364 ¥49,940

[@jakehinch6654]

You’ll have to post a follow up to tell us how well the bell glass dissolves CO2 into the water vs a diffuser.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Right now, it seems to be working very well. When I turn the co2 off, I can see the the co2 in the glass chamber lessens and the plants are growing fast!

[@madhatterjones4781]

Looks cool bit I prefer the simplicity of the plain ada mini terrarium thingy

[@will300c]

Ryo, those shorts you are waring a a bit. wild :)

[@RyoWatanabee]

I love them 😃

[@RitaAfda]

Helo from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🙏🙏🙏

[@RyoWatanabee]

Hi 👋🏼

[@fishysnowman9082]

I’m curious it’s the CO2 meant to run all the time or do you turn it on and off manually?

[@retroworldnews]

Mind to ask , since I noob on Aquascape. I see you put gravel first than aquasoil. Isn't a lot put soil first than gravel? I heard if put Gravel first than soil Plants will not be good is that true? Or there is actually no difference be it you put gravel first or soil.

[@RyoWatanabee]

It’s not gravel, it’s pumice. It’s a layer for water circulation and bacteria to grow. There’s different ways to set up aquascape. I’ve also done tanks with gravel on top. It’s good for low tech planted tanks

[@retroworldnews]

@@RyoWatanabee Oh I see. So if wanna put gravel , come Aquascape. First is put soil than gravel on top the soil right?

[@juristimma5366]

In Uk still not available :(

[@acwc0318]

Hi, May I know how to justify the amount of co2 inject into tank by using the bell glass mini?

[@RyoWatanabee]

It’s recommended to put as little bps as possible. I’m on about 1 bubble every 3 seconds.

[@varnata]

Hello there friend, from where i can buy that set ?

[@RyoWatanabee]

From any ADA distributing store

[@Hellacop6]

How do you control the co2 bps rate?

[@RyoWatanabee]

By using the fine nozzle on the regulator. I’m currently doing about 1 bubble every 3 seconds

[@Hellacop6]

@@RyoWatanabee so you have to open it every morning? How do you count the bps without any bubble counter included? I was hoping that you could just fill the mini co2 bell in the morning and then co2 will slowly release in the tank during the day but it seems this is not the case? Thanks for your explanation 🙏

[@RyoWatanabee]

@@Hellacop6 yes, the bell glass has a counter integrated in it. You can attach a solenoid valve if you want. I probably will in the near future for when I travel

[@RyoWatanabee]

@@Hellacop6 at first, I tried filling the bell glass with co2 but the co2 in the bell glass dissolves quite quickly. It was gone in about an hour

[@Sriprakasa]

Where is the small pump for filter?

[@RyoWatanabee]

It’s at the top left hand corner of the tank :)

[@DoodsandGussie]

How much did you get it for?

[@RyoWatanabee]

It’s cost ¥49,940. I was able to get it a little cheaper using some store credit I’d accumulated

[@jurgenseime1287]

Nice…

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you 🙏

[@Cubs3344]

home are getting smaller, so smaller size aquarium makes more sense

[@kasperskovly292]

Wierd that they dont include any filtration. Just a simple pump.

[@RyoWatanabee]

It’s too small for a filter. Pump is your best bet

[@masterpeace7343]

They still crazy on their prices, they out of reality. Never ever i put this amount on smth handeling 1 plant. This brand is far from his spirit. Sad.

[@RyoWatanabee]

It used to be the most expensive even when Amano himself was around. Probably highest quality materials on the market. But to be honest, it’s only expensive overseas. In Japan it’s still reasonable and just a little more expensive than other brands

[@masterpeace7343]

@@RyoWatanabee you'r right, I came To japan this year, bough ada filter jet v2 150 AT Aqua forest for 42900¥ in France its 400€ 😏

Thanks. This is marketed as a nano shrimp tank. Not for fish as its too small
