Took me 20 mins do clean, trim back for mine 60x40x40cm planted tank but another 30mins just to fill it up. I am gonna be using tap water for my second tank. Ideally I want to spend 1 hour per week for maintainance. Thanks for sharing your routine, beautiful tanks btw.

My maintenance process is very similar to yours. I have 3 aquariums, one is 120 liters and requires the most maintenance as it has a carpet of monte carlo, lots of stem plants, and moss so trimming days take much longer. The other 2 are nanos and are very low maintenance as they are not running co2 and mainly have low demand plants requiring some easy trimming here and there. Takes me around an hour total for a normal maintenance day on all 3 tanks, but a lot more time if I am trimming and doing other maintenance that I don't do every week. I like doing my maintenance on Monday though because it's a nice way to relax after going back to work on Monday and I see my tanks the most on the weekdays so it's great to see them looking pristine.

I currently have a 8.5L planted tub with 2xmicro sponge filters and a trio of cherry shrimp, and a 57L bow-front newly planted tank. I spend an inordinate amount of time with them, doing bits of maintenance as I go. Suck out some old food here, a water test there, a few hours spent meditatively observing the shrimp graze, Oh it's been a week, ok I'll change the water. Ah, it's morning, time for a dose of bacterial culture. It's a constant, ongoing coexistence with the other life in my home, including cats, terrestrial and aquatic plants, and a couple other humans.

Just a simple water change will do? Keep up the good work and please continue sharing your knowledge about aquascaping. Stay safe.

@blakeanderson1997 10 ай бұрын

Love your content. Question: what parts did you use to create the siphon aside from the pump and tube and also the one for the larger hose?

@pscott9751 3 жыл бұрын

5 heavily planted, low tech tanks - about 10-20 minutes per tank (buckets & siphon hose) depending on size & not counting how much time I spend watching my fish & assorted oddballs after maintenance lol. Only one I really have to stay on top of pretty much weekly because I have vallisnaria which would otherwise run wild. Many of my plants are slower growers. My smallest tank, a 3 gallon (wall mounted) with a few male endlers, some cherry shrimp & an assassin snail (I toss in snails from other tanks for him), requires the least work oddly enough. Can go 2-3 weeks without a water change & have had zero issues w wild parameter swings (knocking on wood).

I would say 1 part bleach to 20 parts water. I usually soak it for 10 minutes, then rinse for 10 minutes as well. Don't be afraid, if you follow these guidelines there is not much that can go wrong. And as I mentioned in the video I leave the CO2 on while it is soaking in the bleach solution.

I do struggle with Fish dying, about 4 per week in total for over 200 fish. Is this normal.

Where can I get a small vacuum pipe like yours on 3:10? I only have a big one thats too big for my nano tank, because it drains my water too quick 😱

So you use the water straight from the tap? You don't treat it in any way, or let it stay on buckets before putting it in the tanks? What is the pH and dH of your tap water? (Sorry about posting a bunch of questions on your videos, old and new. I just found your channel!)

@MJAquascaping 2 жыл бұрын

Ph is roughly 7 to 7,5 and dHis around 9ish. Yep straight from the tap with no additives

@@MJAquascaping Guessing you don't have chlorinated water where you are! Someone asked how you get the water out of the tank, I'd like an answer too. Guessing it's not siphoned since it looks like your sink is the same level as your tank? Are you using the same Cadrim pump in reverse?

@@missvmartin6571 Correct! No chlorine in the water here. I drain the small tanks with a short hose in a bucket, and the bigger tanks with a long hose directly in the toilet

@@MJAquascaping thanks. I'm about to go to my local shop to source a pump/hose/inlet combination - like yours - to help with filling up. Have had koi for years and have gardened (plantaholic!) for decades, rapidly succumbing to multiple tank syndrome and making a few of the usual beginner mistakes! Would you have otos in a 40L or is it too small? I have two 40s, and a just-bought 22 and 80L.

Wat voor achtergrond heb je eigenlijk op het 70 liter aquarium? Het lijkt een beetje blauw. Ziet er super uit, vandaar dat ik het vraag.

@MJAquascaping 3 жыл бұрын

De goedkoopste glasfolie van de GAMMA! In de 70 liter lijkt het inderdaad wat blauw, dit komt door de verlichting denk ik, want in de andere bakjes gebruik ik dezelfde folie maar is het minder blauw.
