What happened to the Dario??? I just scrolled through all the videos for an update after watching the no food for 6 months and found this 😡

[@shesellsfish]

I remember when you first set that tank up. It was fabulous! I'm liking the start of this blackwater tank too. Looking forward to updates after the move. Or before... 👍❤👍

[@twunderaquatics1770]

This was my favorite tank on the first initial set-up. Tried to duplicate several times with no success. Glad to see a video from ya. 👍

[@nataliabirchall9093]

Glass fish would look so good in that

[@aquaneko14]

Nice trial tank, gives me fantasy landscape vibes. I think a Blackwater tank would look great with a really thick emersed setup up top. Can't wait to see all your tanks after the move

[@janicelundberg1956]

Looks mighty fine as always 👍😎

[@Evil_Genius_888]

Interesting concept. I’m planning a forest scape in a 40g inspired on local bog forests. Lots of low ground cover…

[@AQUAPROS]

Nice, I need to do a bigger setup like that again... once this move is done

[@prodbyhydrax]

I remember when you first scaped this tank! Feels like so long ago

[@AQUAPROS]

For real.... now imagine that tank sitting in my office totally dry for like 3 years... 🤯

[@CrazyAquariumGuy]

Great as usual Mike

[@andycarter4581]

Must do another blackwater!

[@КуралайАшимова-в5о]

Amazing

[@jimmiebarron7023]

Hey I saw previously you’d kept Dario that bred in yours. I have a hybrid scarlet/tiger Badis that happened accidentally

[@amazingaquaticsandexotics3030]

looks cool

[@SubiKinubi]

There’s something I’m just drawn too with this type of set up, nice job 👍

[@Diamappollory]

Hi! I've been in your channel for a while and I found your videos informative. that's why I'm going to ask a question for my 75 gallon tank: is Acoustic foam safe for aquarium fish? and How many liters of sand would it take to cover the base of my tank (2 inches)? Hopefully you respond!

[@0aprilanne0]

Depending on your pH, you're not gonna have bb growth anyways and the vast majority of ammonia will be ammonium.

[@AQUAPROS]

True!

[@susyclau7433]

I always use almond leaves in my Betta tanks, but I have to change it weekly since they develop fungus after a week, are you going to change the leaves or what should we do for them to last longer.

[@doubled9789]

Soak it overnight, rinse and sun dried the leaves before use it for your Betta tanks...

[@susyclau7433]

@@doubled9789 thank you, I'll try that 👌🏼

[@dennisvanopstal7360]

Its not fungus Its biofilm Same as on some driftwoods. Shrimps, snails, and algae grazing fish love that stuff

[@susyclau7433]

@@dennisvanopstal7360 I understood biofilm builds on top of water, this looks exactly like the one that appears on wood branches, kind of white and moltie. Sadly I don't have cleaners, my Bettas are quite aggressive

[@dennisvanopstal7360]

@@susyclau7433 the stuff on the wood is called biofilm also sometimes. Its a white slimey coating. Its harmless.

[@HelloHello-bz6sj]

What co2 diffuser do you recommend for a 20 long?

[@DylanRenke]

The misc bag looks like oak leaves, banana leaves, and sweet gum seed pods.

[@ZeroCarbo]

side question, wich moss would stay attached more, or at lesst dosnt deattach itself, it happened with most i try, the onyl one still in a big ball is java, but is been 4 5 months, on low tech but in high, nothing stays, they grow big and then flow around

[@AQUAPROS]

Hard to say, I mostly use Christmas moss, seems to do pretty good, not perfect tho. More about how you attach it rather than the species

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

Hey friend- I'm concerned those "spiky cones" are a very unhealthy add. I wanted to use them once -so cool looking- but the Internet universally said not to because of oils and gunk in this type of pods. I could be wrong but...

[@shannarafryer3111]

It’s very common to use them in aquariums. Most likely you have to boil them, remove the boiled water then add them in (that’s assuming the oil thing is true for those pods in particular) they are most likely casuarina

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

@@shannarafryer3111 I agree with you and do not use them for precisely the reasons you cited.

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

To be clear: I do use Alder cones. Everone does - just not the spiked ball seed pods. Which are you referring to?

[@joeydr1497]

Moss sucks, mine always ends up full of algae

[@AQUAPROS]

It happens.....🤷‍♂️
