The Pufferfish Tank Is Ruined (Can I Fix It?)

In this week I address what is most likely my ugliest aquarium to date! I've been maintaining it as usual, but the algae grows back in just a few days. After a few months, it gradually ended up looking like this. Since I made the adjustments things are looking up. Other than the algae on the hardscape it's been staying pretty clean.
What would you do? Would you try to dial in the tank or start a new one and transfer the fish? Let me know in the comments!

Other comments have expressed this sentiment before, but I'm really glad you're willing to re-visit past projects for updates and course-corrections. It's nice to know that even the guys who do this for a living aren't perfect, and demonstrate the thought process when it comes to salvaging a bad situation. (That before and after comparison of the puffer fish aquarium was amazing.) Stream tank looks amazing, btw. I'm hoping for something more... fun than just millipedes in there.

[@Gamerkat10]

Millipedes are fun!

[@cyuca4348]

For the puffers - do low light for 12 hours. That will help with the algae. Also, you can feed live scuds to the puffers (scuds will eat the decaying plants and algae while the puffers keep their numbers in check). Don't rescape/tear down and imbalance the tank. H2O changes and other items I mentioned and you are good to go.

[@cattfishing]

Exactly what I was thinking. I actually had a big clump of pilia moss that got covered in some stringy algae. I put the whole chunk in my snail/scud tank. They are getting it cleaned pretty fast. I can actually see the moss again within just a few hrs. I did this with some moss that had some black algae growing and when it's all eaten up, I put it back in the tank and my pea puffers love hunting the scuds and snails that were stuck in the clump of mosses.

[@baalwadi]

why hasn't he got a clean-up crew like snails and shrimps in there? not compatible with puffer fish?

[@Lazy_Fish_Keeper]

@@baalwadi the pea puffers will eat them. That's why we are recommending amphopods (scuds), bladder/pest snails, and the like as clean up crew. Because puffers prefer to hunt live food, and need to eat snails regularly to keep their beaks healthy.

[@vituperation]

I would love to see him use scuds. I've always wanted to keep some in my tanks and it would be cool to see it done in a fully planted setup.

[@drugbuddy665]

@@vituperation Scuds rule, I definitely recommend it. I got lucky & started a colony of scuds from a cup of ditch water I scooped up a few years ago, and they do well in ecosphere jars with virtually no care. I'm surprised tanner hasn't stocked any jars with them.

[@morganw.4711]

“Commemorate them and show appreciation for the joy they bring us throughout their lives.” Above everything else, the thing I most appreciate about Tanner is that he doesn’t treat his animals as decorations or disposable. They’re living creatures and part of the family. Great role model and a truly gentle spirit. Thank you Tanner!

As someone who has two nightmare algae tanks at the moment, I really want to see you fix it lol. I KNOW it’ll be a long a frustrating process but I also know you’ll pass on some really valuable information!

[@AcrylDame]

I had the same issues. Check your nitrate and potassium levels, they should be neither too high or too low. Put iron fertilizer in and whatever is missing in the tank. A short lighting period helps. Good luck!

[@ohrats731]

@@AcrylDame yeah I think phosphates are a big issue for me. I’m also fairly certain the culprit is trying to do a dirted tank. Both of these tanks have a soil layer under the sand where as my others are just sand or bare bottom. I think I should have done a lot more research before doing a tank like that, I probably did it wrong. So for me I guess starting over would be smart but it’s just too much of a project to redo the 60g right now. I’m planning on taking down the 5g though

[@AcrylDame]

@@ohrats731 In a heavily planted tank phosphate can easily go to zero, even If heavily stocked. Measuring nutrients is annoying but it really helps you understand whats going on. Because you don't know whats going on, redoing the tank would probably be a mistake.

[@Lazy_Fish_Keeper]

I started back into the hobby as a type of therapy/healing of the soul with a Back2the Roots system and a betta about 2 years ago.... I'm now back up to 6 nano tanks, and I am in the process of scaping 2 different 4' tanks. The best part is watching Tanner's videos and talking with other aquarium keepers here and Aquarium Co-op. Look up the Walstad (sp?) Method for deep substrate aquariums. The melt on the plants benefits the tank, and after 30 days, the tank is ready for fish. I like the low maintenance, so I can spend more time enjoying.

[@SerpaDesign]

Do it again! I generally don't have issues like this at all.

[@jadziaforte9239]

Im so glad you show the messy parts of planted aquariums. When i first got into planted tanks, i always got so frustrated that it wasnt going the way i want it to and that there were constant outbursts of algae in new setups.

Im still learning how to balance my tanks properly and all 4 of mine are still quite new so thanks for showing your process

[@phreeesubz]

*What if the pufferfish tank had a specific "feeding area" that would be more easily cleanable after a feeding? That way the rest of the tank wouldn't be effected by their messy eating habits. Think of it as eating in the dining room, vs the livingroom or bedroom.*

[@SerpaDesign]

I kind of already do that, but there has to be some spread to make sure they all get food.

I think it would be challenging but also fulfilling to fix the tank and get it back into shape! Don't give up!

What an absolute tease! That tank looks like a beast.... I am already imagining a whole bunch of things

[@wynja77]

I used to have problems with algae in my puffer tank too, and I mostly put it down to them eating snails. Snails are rather good at keeping algae at bay, after all, but the puffers gobbles them up. I had luck with big amano-shrimp, though, and they took care of the algae (and probably left over food too) very quickly. Puffers CAN eat shrimp, though, so I was a bit hesitant to try, but in my case it was very much worth it.

I had the same problem with a new set up that got smothered with algae. I added floating plants (Salvinia cuculata), continued doing water changes and reduced my lighting to 7 hours a day. After 3 months the algae is almost gone. I was going to take everything down and start over but decided to see if time could bring the tank to balance, and I'm glad I waited.

[@claireturtle1]

First, I ADORE the pond! Truthfully, for the puffer tank, I'd start over - in my experience, sometimes when you have debris like anacharis leaves and hornwort needles constantly shedding it can just become totally overwhelming no matter how many water changes you do. For pea puffers, something with nice broad leaves that bloodworms will rest on like a plate for easy picking (good ole anubias...) might help them find the food rather than letting quite so much sink to the substrate. I'm not sure how you feel about bare bottom tanks, but that helped avoid mess with my goldfish and axolotls because they were horribly messy eaters as well, and I could see waste to vacuum it up immediately. All that to say, sometimes you have to start over to avoid that exhausting water-change burnout... gotta do what you gotta do! Always love your videos, thank you for the update!

[@Elaine_P_Smith]

Your tanks are amazing ! Keep going with this tank and find a fish or something to help with the algae. Your videos are FANTASTIC ! I just might have to pick your brain for ideas with my 20 gallon tall tank.

[@DemDiddyDizzy]

I think fixing the tank would be an interesting journey and also something worth showing on your channel! As someone who's been in several scenarios like this and am currently still struggling with it'd be cool to see you tackle this tough challenge! In the end though it is your decision, and if you feel seasoning a tank and transferring the puffers over there is best then please go for it!

[@empressakitla7544]

I mean, if I was going to restart a tank, I would have done it when it turned into the green pond. But it looks like you’ve gotten some control over it since then with more plants, shorter photo period, etc. If it was my tank, I’d probably just fight the algae. I had the same problem in some of my tanks, but added some floating plants like water lettuce, salvinia, and even the dreaded duckweed, and now my 55gal is pretty much algae free. The trumpet snail hitchhiker helped, too, but snails won’t help the pea puffers in a janitorial capacity, lol. Can’t wait to see what’s to come. I’m always excited when you upload a video.

Balance that tank out. It's a really good scape, the rock at the bottom right commands attention, which is then drawn up to the top of the driftwood where your gaze starts to flow left along the wood to the end of the tank where you're left thinking "woah, that's pretty cool". It even looked cool when it was an algae filled mess! The key here is the lighting and the scape work too well together to scrap it. This should be preserved.

[@blockednostril9739]

I’m in a similar position with my pea puffer tank, I’ve added a handful of amano shrimp to kind of damage control the build up 😅 my issue is I need high light for some of my small plants at the bottom but this gives too much light to the plants higher up so the floor of the tank is pristine but the anubias and moss is all taking a hot fit it. despite the mess in their I bet the puffs really appreciate the extra gunk, they’ll love hunting through the added biofilm etc. I’d just leave it be and see how it keeps running 💚

[@nicolejoy6618]

I am jealous of this set up... maybe one day I’ll have my own place and can do cool stuff like this to relax in. I think trying to balance the puffer fish tank is the right choice. As you said, the way the fish eat is a major contributing factor for why the algae was taking over. It would be a shame for you to set a new tank up then go through this again! Just finding the balance to maintain the tank is what is important. Side note, it’s great that your wife enjoys the babies as much as you do! Is she camera shy? I think the community would love to meet her. Maybe a challenge video would be a fun entertaining idea!

[@Christodophilus]

You need some bottom dwellers, to help clean up the leftover food, like Kuhli Loaches. They can live with pea puffers, and would get a nice spray of orange in the tank. Some Otocinclus would also help with the algae. Extra residents will bring extra bio-load, but they do their part to help knock back the excesses causing problems in the water column. The fast growing plants are a good thing, but the additional fish will help the plants do their job.

Yo Tanner, you might add a bunch of Kuhli Loaches to that puffer tank: They're awesome at clean-up, so would help keep the tank balanced, and the puffers leave them alone.

Are the small holes on top to let condensation escape? Also I put spring tails in but I don't think they are doing the work I expected and am wondering if they escaped or died, can you give any info on them? This is my first terrarium, so all new to me. Thanks for the help! keep up the great content! Your house is a dream home!

[@sdmcdaniel2255]

For the puffer fish tank... I would keep the setup you have and try to fix it. If it were me, I'd let the puffer fish be the main draw, but add a few things, like algae eaters, maybe some snails, and increase the shrimp population to handle the build up of waste that isn't being broken down. I'd then give it another month or two, to see if that regulates it a bit. And definitely get that timer fixed!

[@drexr9098]

I would try and save the tank but I also would like to see you do another build so I'm in limbo, but I'm super pumped to see that scape at the end with the cork bark tree i need something like that for my iguana. Good work👍
