AQUARIUM WATER FLOW: Get Your Flow On! In today's video I have to give a huge shout out to Ted from tedsfishroom on Instagram he asked me where I got my Crinum from. It turns out he has been there, Cameroon! He proceeds to tell me that they LOVE water flow. He shows off some of the photos of the Crinum in their wild habitat in a fast moving stream. So in today's Species Sunday, I show off what we did in Greenhouse 2.0 to help mimic this water flow. What are you doing in your aquariums to help mimic water flow? Tank On ;)

I dont know if youll ever see this but im the type of guy who thinks outside the box and thought more on the aquaponics side! You need flow! How about an Eb and Flow with a syphon setup to either drain or fill a bed of those plants? Imagine hundreds if not thousands of liters of water dumped all at once, 2, 3 or 4 times per hour!? Rivers flow but also pulse .

Great tips. Thanks for the insights. I'm researching putting a Fluvan 304 on a 29g.

Nice! Thanks for popping in to the live stream last week. When we see crinum in tanks that are vertical with the leaves going everywhere. In the wild, all those leaves are dragged downstream by the current. The only vertical part of the plant is the flower spike.

Spot on! I got a crinum from Dustin and it wasn't doing well in sand, in fact it started rotting. Per his advice I pulled it from the sand and put it in an open gravel, it started recovering. It kept floating up and eventually I stopped bothering to plant it again. For 2 weeks it has been floating right in front of my filters output and its THRIVING now. New leaves, long leaves, no more funky slime. Good plants and good tips Dustin!

This is such an old video and I doubt Dustin will see this but did you know that if you have a spray bar focused straight down at the top of a tank right at the water line floating plans will explode in growth as they all get sucked into that one spot. I 'accidentally' didnt top of an aquarium and it got down to my spray bar and I noticed insane roots growing

Your plants are just laying on the surface. water and sun is enough to keep them grow?

@0SimpleSam 4 жыл бұрын

I totally agree. My crinum wasn't doing much and I didn't it would actually start growing. I redid my tank and put it under my hang on back cause it fit there best. It has grown 2 new roots 3+" long in only 5 days

Hi" Im new to this & want just a Tetra tank, so I looked up Tetra's. Then I came across you, sounds like you know what your talking about 🙂 I know you said 1 or 2 types of tetras max in one tank. I really like the Neon & Amber. Will this work ?

Croc hive assemble! Flow is so important. Finally found an elbow joint for my powerhead that kept a good flow going but increased surface agitation. My anubias and Hygrophila narrow leaf perked straight up! Also my cloud minnows swim in the new current setup endlessly.

Hey Dustin is there a chance we will ever get an update on the wild pond series? I really wanna know how the plants grew there. Cheers

I think getting a circular water flow in an aquarium is one of the best things you can do for your plants. It keeps there from being any stagnant spots where junk sits and rots, and instead it all gets sucked up by the filter. I was having algae problems despite having good water parameters, CO2, and a good light schedule, and by adjusting my filter output and introducing a small pump, it took care of the algae.

Those plants are coleus. I overwintered one in my house. They come in all sorts of colors and patterns. He should punch off those flowers to keep the plant fuller. Otherwise they get tall and leggy
