Talk & Trim: aquarium vlog

[@TarasTankFriends]

Just trying something new, yapping at you all while I trim a tank 😋. I hope it's not too boring and as always thank you to everyone who watches! I do sell/give away my plants on a first come first serve basis to anyone in the lower 48. Contact: [e-mail] (see description for more details)

Thank you, Jorge, I really appreciate that and thanks for watching! 😊

Absolutely beautiful Cierra we are redoing the 220 and moving Jacks 200 feet of Pothos out here in to that tank so his tank may need some plants when we go back to do that one in a month or so so we may need some more from you❤❤😀😀👍👍

[@TarasTankFriends]

Very cool! what I have does change so just shoot me an email when you're ready. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! 😊 --Cierra 😋😉

@@TarasTankFriends Jack says I hold onto my sssssss and so the dictation doesn’t get my way of talking hahaha I gotta work on that cause I do a lot of this stuff in the car now with all the traveling I’m back to….got another month of this before open enrollment

[@TarasTankFriends]

@@jackanddan speech to text and auto correct always like to mess things up, I think I spend more time correcting auto correct than actually typing, lol 😂. Just so you know, there's *zero* offense taken here! I was just joking around, I know you know my name. No explanation needed, my friend 🤗! Good luck with open enrollment, I know that's a really busy time for you!

[@madcat61207]

Wow, just look at those colors pop! I especially liked the informative narration, and the amacing soundtrack. 😾 👍

[@TarasTankFriends]

Thank you so much, Madcat, I appreciate it! 😺

[@SandyDoughty]

Beautiful tank! That Panda Gara is adorable!

[@TarasTankFriends]

Thank you very much, Sandy, I really appreciate it! 😊 He's one of my very favorite fish, shh don't tell the others 😂.

What a beautiful underwater garden! 💚

@@TarasTankFriends you’re welcome 💚

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

I love it.. excellent video with great information Love pandas It is totally Zen.. I don't follow any scape rules lol.. I just try to make mine look natural... I don't have the skills to do a true formal scape .. still watching

[@TarasTankFriends]

Thanks so much, Chris! Yeah I haven't really followed any of the rules for scapes yet either, some of them I don't even really understand that well, but I want to give it a good try for the new project. Will probably take a LONG time if I'm even successful with it. I really do look forward to trimming this particular tank every week though. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it! 😊

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

Sam I am... he is too cute He won't leave you alone... those pink flamingo are stunning

[@TarasTankFriends]

Hehe, he's got quite the personality on him. Getting off the leaf I wanted to trim was just a fun coincidence, but he does usually follow my finger to his treat. I think he knows somehow that he's my favorite fish. Thanks again for your support! 😊

[@theherdwaveaquatics6309]

Oh wow!! This is such a beautiful tank. I love all the different colours. Thanks for sharing Tara 👍

[@TarasTankFriends]

Thank you very much, Leanne, I really appreciate it! 😊

[@aquariumdelirium]

Those reds are absolutely gorgeous, Tara I’d be scared to trim it Great video and a beautiful tank 😊🤩🤩😊

[@TarasTankFriends]

I've been a but overzealous trimming before, but luckily they grow back 😅. I know this was a long one, thanks so much for watching and the support, Mal! I really appreciate it! 😊

[@aquariumdelirium]

More than welcome, Tara

[@redlaser1656]

Hi Tara. I believe it looks like Bucephalanra Kedagang. Beautiful tanks, for sure. Thanks for the upload. Voice-over was great.

[@TarasTankFriends]

Hi Gordon, I believe you are 100% correct, thank you so much for your help on that! Coincidentally, I was asked to do my next video on all my plants and their names, so your ID *really* helps with that as well! 👍👍Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate it and hope you're having a nice weekend 😊

[@pattys_aquatics]

That’s a beautiful tank, and that panda gara lol thanks for sharing

[@TarasTankFriends]

Thank you! I appreciate your watching and support! 😊

[@fishismyhobbyofficial]

your plants looks amazing Tara, beautiful set up love it, like 20

[@TarasTankFriends]

Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate your support! 😊

[@Greg.is.a.bot.]

Nice video of a beautiful tank! Also, Sam is awesome.

[@TarasTankFriends]

Was it as boring as I was afraid of?

[@Greg.is.a.bot.]

No, not in my opinion. It was cool seeing the way you approach aquascaping in that tank, and Sam's personality came through really well. I know you looked at it as kind of a tank maintenance video, but it wasn't like 15 minutes of of gravel vac and glass cleaning or whatever. Worth watching, at least for me.

[@TarasTankFriends]

@@Greg.is.a.bot. well thank you honey 😘

[@bipolaraquatics]

tank looking great thanks for sharing

[@TarasTankFriends]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching, I appreciate it! 😊

[@Gilsfishroom]

G'day Tara, Since upgrading my light my AR has taken off. I just turned the computer on to watch your video where you showed how to trim it and I saw this one! I enjoyed the video, it was like hanging out with a mate just shooting the breeze.

[@TarasTankFriends]

Hey that's great to hear, I knew you would have success! Aww, that's so kind of you 🤗. Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate it, take care and have a good weekend coming up 😊

[@IndoorEcosystem]

Man you've got some insanely good reds going there! 😮

[@TarasTankFriends]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it! 😊 I've read you're not supposed to use too many red plants in scapes like this, but I just like them too much. Have thought about doing an all red plant tank before with blue fish, but haven't found enough of variety of red plants that like me yet, lol.

[@IndoorEcosystem]

@@TarasTankFriends I struggle to get reds going well. The only one that works is scarlet temple (forget the proper name). I think my water is just too hard for most of them. You've got so many types too.

[@TarasTankFriends]

@@IndoorEcosystem my water is about 16dgh, I've thought that was the reason most ludwegias don't like me. I do find the some of trick with getting plants to do well in hard water is to buy them from places that grow them in the same. If I can't get what I want locally, I check the US hardness map and order from places with similar. I know the uk also has a water hardness map, maybe Poland, too? All my AR is propogated from the single stem that didn't die from a place I ordered 3 bunches from that has very soft water, nothing else from them lived so that's how I do it now. Maybe worth a try?

[@IndoorEcosystem]

@@TarasTankFriends that's actually a really good idea and something I've never even thought about doing! I'll have to look into it! Thanks Tara!

[@TarasTankFriends]

@@IndoorEcosystem hope it helps! 😊
