Absolutely love this build and can’t wait for future updates! Especially when you start adding livestock. Keep up the great work 👍😎

Thanks for the great tank update, looking so good David!

Great 👍 informative video, loved it, bit of a science 🧪 lesson, but definitely good to know, especially the parts you highlighted from your computer 💻🤣🤣 looking 👀 forward to the next video 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I’m surprised 😯 you don’t have more subs, this channels great 👍

Good information 👍👍👍

Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

Apart from sand, I went through this exact same fishless cycle, havent turned the lights on in over 3 months. Im a little ahead of you in that i have the first 6 fish in and the next 4 about to come out of qt and join them. I intend addingva few tester corals and turning the lights on at the 4 momth mark in 3 weeks time. Good luck buddy, your patience will be rewarded 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤💚🐠🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

More vids please. Great stuff dude.

Liked and subbed great video brotha greetings from U.S. Texas

Great video by the way I just started my cycle I’m on the third day fishless cycle certain people like BRS suggest to turn the skimmer during the cycle what do you recommend !

Dr. Tim’s is an Excellent choice. What size shelf rock did you use for your aquascape? It looks good!

Glad you posted this vid on FB group. For some reason KZfaq had me unsubbed. Re subbed and enjoyed the vid. Have fun cycling. Enjoy those adult toys. LOL

Love your aqua scape! How long did it take you to cycle? I am on day 10 or so and have high readings on everything! BUT my ammonia wont go down! i keep doing water changes like crazy. I think because I added some rock after I cured some rubble so maybe leaching ammonia. I am wondering if I should add more but dont know that I need to because all my reading are high so something is definitely happening just very slowly! I didn't read until after I added it to check for amonia first and if you have some not to add! I am wondering if I should add some bacteria from my display tank. He never mentions that but I have always heard that will speed the cycle! I have salinty at 1020 might lower it and temp at 85 would like to get higher so may plug in another heater! I would have added all the rock at once even if its not in place because you dont want to add dead rock after the cycle! Thats why I am having so much ammonia! I have a basket of rubble I am wanting to add now but it leaching ammonia so I guess I wont!

Good man! it’s gonna be so hard to have all the equipment there and not want to start getting things going. Hahaha. It’s why I haven’t bought anything I’m not gonna use now... that and I’m a little broke... 🤣

I just started my fishless cycle a little over 2 weeks ago and have got no ammonia and decently high nitrites with slightly higher than 0 on nitrates and the nitrites have been high for about 3-4 days and has not moved, is this normal? Thanks.

Lol still skimming like a bit%$ I mean beast 🤣 I died laughing

ok, so 1:33 Let me clarify, the slower flow area with the blocks allows anaerobic bacteria to culture. These guys survive deep inside the bricks where most of the oxygen has been depleted by the aerobic bacteria that are on the outside layer of the blocks. Anaerobic bacteria then converts nitrates into nitrogen gas, which escapes out of the tank, into the atmosphere. It is a little more complex than what I have explained, but I am not going to write a document here which probably no one will read anyway. lol anyway, it is all part of the ammonification and denitrification process.

but cool video

hahahaha - nice work buddy

Didn’t see you pour it in !

When u have more invested in the bio media then the entire setup 🤣🤣🤣 love it though awesome build

🤔

I guess they are technically adult toys...

HAHAHA Adult Toys

That’s not entirely correct
