[@ShamuAquatics]

Thanks brotha ! 🍻

[@MahdiKarimi-ul6sw]

Beautiful 😍

[@HappyPlaceAquatics]

That tank is beautiful my friend

[@hectorperez7655]

an under-gravel filter with low flow of water should help you out a lot, no need for water change, I do also recommend the Dwarf Sagittaria grass, it will help out with getting rid of poop etc.. great looking tank!!

[@albiewong]

Love the closeup shots!!! Beautiful!! Thank you.

Very nice looking tank! When I was young in the 60's I quickly caught MTS. I've lugged more than my share of 5 gallon buckets. As I got older buying a Python changed my life. To this day it's the only way I can maintain my display tanks (including a 125g) and fish breeding room. As far as my bigger tanks being easier to maintain compared to my smaller tanks, I can't say yes. Compared to my smaller bare grow out tanks, yes. My smaller display tanks are quicker doing water changes.

Beautiful tank man

[@REALAlexCardinale2024]

Tank looks great my friend!!!! :)

[@bishop999]

If you have an overflow on ur tank to ur sump.. how can that ever overflow ur sump? Because when the power cuts out, water isn’t pumped into ur tank, so it doesn’t flow into ur sump 🤷‍♂️

[@Rogs.Goldies]

Tank looks great bro! Can’t wait to see this grow out

[@dannyaquatics]

Have a look at the (new to the US) Aquael Hypermax 4500. Has two inlets and two outlets. Far more flow and more importantly media capacity than the FX6. Also has a pre-filter. I would still run two filters myself though. For redundancy if nothing else. I run my Hypermax on a mere 120 gallon Mbuna tank! And still use the tank's built in weir/internal filter. Over stocked but still over filtered.

[@Mid-Americabulldogs]

I'm about to replace one of the sunsun hw-3000 with an FX6

[@petejeau]

Very nice tank. I love the fact you have basically nano fish (well compared to large cichlids) in such a large tank. I have a 330G 10ft tank full of central american cichlids and silver dollars. I think one day down the track I would like to reinvent it into a heavily planted tank with a few big schools of rummy nose etc (same as what I have now on a smaller scale in 4ft tanks). Can't have plants in the tank and was starting to get nitrate problems so yes frequent water changes. I've since added a bunch of terrestrial plants and that has helped a lot and reduced the water changes required. I have an FX5 at one end and FX6 at the other. For water changes, I just use a good length of 1 inch poly pipe and run it to the sink - my tank is in a garage. No pump, just start the syphon manually. Then just run the hose from outside directly into the tank, never done water temp matching. I live in a sub-tropical climate though. Admittedly, this still takes a bit of time but I work on other aquariums during this and as it takes no labour doesn't bother me.

[@ShamuAquatics]

Yep I’m definitely a small community fish (6-7 inches max) type of guy. Much easier on the bioload and they won’t destroy plants

[@jmommy991]

H2O is 8lbs per gallon….that would put your tank including water and substrate somewhere around 2,500lbs.

[@Mid-Americabulldogs]

I just get wood and rocks from the creek soak em in salt and vinegar and put in the rocks from the river more cost effective..

[@Mid-Americabulldogs]

Can you hook longer hose up to the siphon and run it out the door

[@ShamuAquatics]

Maybe. Idk if it would work tho

[@ummfish4878]

your fx 6 has a valve on bottom . hook a hose to it run your hose line to where you drain. them turn off the out going valve and turn on the valve on bottom your tank will drain itself.

[@ShamuAquatics]

One of my friends tried that. He said it’s very slow

[@paulthomas2718]

What is the smaller yellow fish in this video? It is gorgeous.

[@ShamuAquatics]

Golden roseline sharks (denison barbs)

[@jc49fishniner4lif7]

I think we all fish keepers have some crazy in us amazing looking tant,,, just one thing bro maybe use some pre filters 👍👍🫵

[@DiscusNT]

9:30 time consuming I bet, never run Discus that big puppy, you would need to do changes at least weekly, no matter what your test kit says. After watching this I am happier with my 90 now. 10 mins to drain 10 mins to fill done deal. Instead of the tubs just get a long hose bud., just run it outside, 30 buck sump pump 830Gph. 20 mins drain time.

[@ShamuAquatics]

Yea that’s why I’ve never tried discus. I’m hearing a lot of that “discus don’t need water changes that often” stuff too but even then, those fish are expensive lol. And in my experience with angelfish, I had to buy them big if I wanted them to live long term. Small ones would die within 2 weeks. I feel like it would be the same thing if I kept discus… and big discus easily go for $150 to $300 here

[@Awsimilate]

@@ShamuAquatics Strange your angel fish would die so quickly, must have come from a bad breeder/source and were sick. Angel fish are almost bulletproof IMO. They can take some real punishment in my experience, babies or adults. If you can keep Rainbow fish alive, angles should be a joke for you.

[@ShamuAquatics]

@@Awsimilate Yea it was weird. Another so called “hardy” fish that I have bad luck with is the serpae tetra. No matter where I buy them from, how many I get, or how I acclimate, they never last. I would buy 12, and 5 would drop dead within 5 days and then the rest would die off one by one over the course of a year or so. Yet the notoriously “sensitive” roseline sharks thrive in my tanks.

[@Awsimilate]

@@ShamuAquatics That's fishkeeping for you, I kept trying rainbows here, same deal. Didn't matter where I got em, they all came with gill flukes. So I gave up on Rainbows.
