SIMPLE $6 DIY FILTER! Less Water Changes, Removes Nitrates!

[@heyb6268]

DIY build starts at 7:00 for everyone wanting to get to it.

[@stevecox8066]

I did something similar but not nearly as industrious as yourself. I just used a couple sink sponge holders the already had suction cups and put a few ferns in those. Love the plants in my aquarium and have started living plants growing out of my aquarium! Great project

[@juliorivera870]

I used baking soda is the best, some salt & green tea 👍

[@MoreChannelNoise]

Who you think you are, sitting on floor like Buda, who you think you are! lol, nice idea.

[@caryEUCNutbar]

Love your fish.....they look all healthy! Can i ask what temperature do you keep your tank? I notice you have some clown loaches. I have 6 in my 125 gallon but now one of them are showing the first signs of ICH. I keep mine at 79°F but maybe my temperature should be higher. What do you think?

[@booshting3520]

Nice colour on all those fish. I'm setting up a tiger Barb tank soon, yours look great

[@linnealeora]

Dwarf pond lettuce removes a lot of nitrates and floats well; trim roots when they get too long.

[@VictorGarcia-ti9qd]

I just got my 75 gallon tank and it's set up I got 6 tiger barbs a placo and to baby RES I want to add more fish what would you recommend? If you had a 75 gallon what more would you add to yours?

[@sufyancaderbeg7122]

A school of 17 tiger barbs, a pair of tinfoil barb, a pair of dwarf gourami, red tailed sharks

[@davidengelstein1359]

So do you just put the roots in the water? And it will remove the nitrates?

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Hi friends, I'm Ashley from Singapore! My favourite fish species as of right now is the CONVICT CICHLID! A little crazy over them.. What fishes do you keep?

[@kishor5389]

I have 3 angelfish which I am deciding to breed

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Awesome! Have you any past experience breeding fishes?

[@kishor5389]

SG Bearded Aquarist yes I have breed Altum angels,corydoras,tiger barbs,danios,plague,swordtails,antler live bearers and bristle nose plecos.Ps... are u thinking of breeding your tiger barbs as I could give u tips on my past experience

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Wow! Are u from singapore btw? And ive never heard of anyone breeding tiger barbs in an aquarium; thought it must super hard or something. I doubt ill try breeding them but pls do share some tips, im curious to learn! Currently my convicts just bred 3 weeks ago

[@kishor5389]

SG Bearded Aquarist I am from singapore.i breed tiger barbs last year with my Father as I was only 13 and breeding them is not much of trouble look out for ph 7 and below and reduce the temp slowly to 75 ff . When you see a fish have a red nose and nodding to another fish remember them and place them in a tank with a sponge filter and marble floor I personally find the mesh method unsafe for the fish.the male will nudge the female and the eggs will fall into the gaps than remove the parents and off all lights but putting a black background worked better for me.oh also remember to treat the eggs with anti fungus

[@waheedsaeed5978]

Don’t you lose a lot of water from evaporation?

[@djssquibbs3295]

awesome video! subbed, and will follow.. love the turtle, jaja love desde Costa Rica :) maybe the potos could grow in a basket, where it could have lots of roots, but some extra bits that get too long can get eaten by Tom and the other fish.

[@coryrosillo4764]

Hey man how long did it take for your tiger barbs to grow that big?

[@wabalaka1565]

I assume you bought them at about 1" with optimal condition it take about 4month. Do double feeding throw in frozen or live food twice a week keep your water clean

[@Diethyl419]

I'm from New York just got my frist tank debating on what to do now

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Take your time to think it through! The best part of fish keeping is the start when you're choosing what you want to do. Treasure the process!

[@dedanthomas9921]

I am gettin a algae bloom in my 10 gal betta tank.I change every weekend and it comes back.Help me.Thank you

[@yethuraj4873]

Cool vedio bro, I like the setup its perfect. You have common algae eater which grows too large, when they mature they will never eat algae instead they consume fish food, algae eaters are poop machines.

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Yes, you are correct. They will need to be fed specially.

[@InitialDshorts-s7]

hi! recognised the place u walked by i live there too u were walking by a huge abandoned school field rite?

[@marcjoshua3623]

Hey Bearded, why don't you just get a canister filter, they're not expensive these days and we have access to tons of brands, especially at Nanyang. With your bio load bring what it is, it might just be a more prudent move?

[@little_bee_007]

canister is for chemical filteration i guess.........they plants are for biological filteration.....there is a big difference

[@sufyancaderbeg7122]

How many gallon is your actual tank with the flower horn etc

[@ibin4581]

Sir, please said what is you're tank Size ( length, breadth and hight )

[@fishmanc5357]

The multi species one if 50 gallon. He mentioned in the video.

[@nick92028]

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT TURTLE ISNT EATTING THE FISH?????????

[@frankcarrington5283]

Add some duck weed to your tank, it'll help with Nitrates as well

[@Alphlax0850]

Nice setup

Does this pothos works on saltwater

[@deraldrichards9276]

Great job. Pothos is poisonous to dogs and cats. You might want to Google this to confirm. I think I might do this for my sister tank with a caution to keep the pothos trimmed because she has several cats. Thanks.

[@gasbike100mpg]

i have over 60 feet of pothos with the root system in my 55 gallon tank, the amount of nitrate removal is minimal. There is no way in Heaven or on Earth that the small amount of plants in this video will remove any significant nitrate, unless you have a grow light on the plant 24-7. thanks for the video though

[@christianmonic1769]

i dont keep many fishes haha i have a crayfish, red ear slider and a tree frog! i love amphibians and maybe someday we will see an amphibian pet in your channel (crossed fingers) 😁

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

What type of crayfish do you keep? And yes, maybe someday! Tree frogs look so cute, i wonder what your enclosure looks like 🤔🙂

Had to google it (still learning my crayfishes 🙃) and i can see why you keep it! If only Tom the turtle didnt see crayfish as food, i would keep them too.

I live in the Carolinas. I have 14 turtles, Oscars, tiger barbs, Angelfish, goldfish, and frogs. And much more.

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

14 turtles?? I love turtles! I would keep so much more if not for the fact that just about all species are illegal here in Singapore except for the RES and malayan box turtle (which is close to impossible to find). What species are you housing?

[@YT_GrantGotYou]

I have red ear sliders, yellow belly sliders, painted turtle, cumberland sliders, musk turtle, and eastern box turtle. I'll have to make a free videos one day. But I do not have a tank set up like yours. The fish and turtle together are awesome!

Everything in the video is the point. I just chose the best part of it as the title. I've built a bond with my subscribers and the bla bla bla is how I did it and how I continue to update them. This channel is about many things not just how to. In every such video about 5-10% of people don't like it and thats fine. There is nothing to be more direct because the end of my video is the video, not any 1 thing in the video.
