Hi, great video and really helps me to understand how to start up my aquarium. I’m Allmost completly new, so Maybe it’s an stupid question, but What temperature of the water you need to have with the water change? Can it be cold water or does it need to be around 24 degrees?

@stoneysscapes7544 10 ай бұрын

In case someone in the future is not sure I'll be happy to offer a good answer. It's always best to have a couple of accurate temperature checkers and definitely matching the precise temp is the only way to process a water change. Dechlorinator and temperature checkers are something that is great to have a few extra 🌊

Sometimes we use the combo, but the majority of time, we do not. A separate skimmer does a better job, and that is not sensitive to your filter performance. We're not listing all the fittings.

Hey Tommy this is I think the how to start your first expensive high-tech aquarium. I wonder in green aqua all your tanks on display are high-tech and all have CO2 injection or do you guys keep a low-tech like what is in nature way tank? Also, Can you price it up just that set up without the chemicals plants and fishes etc. Just as is what you demonstrated and put together. I just wonder how deep I have to reach in my wallet. I remember as a kid like when I was 7 till about 15 so many times almost every cleaning or maintenance I broke those glass equipment and cut my fingers and my mom for that reason hated the fish tank. 2 times I was taken to to the hospital emergency to stitch my hand/finger. I wouldn't recommend using these glass equipment to kids under 14 at least or adults who know are clumsy themselves. Trust me it will break and you can step in it and especially if it goes on the carpet 6 months later too can cut you and cause very serious injury. (infections etc.) If it breaks in the tank well ... make sure you find all the pieces or next time if you take out the substrate don't use your hand. So as a show and in the showroom looks nice but not practical at all. Use plastic It's much safer and nowadays a lot cheaper too. Yeah, it will scratch but if you not scrubbing hard ... Good job Tommy TY !
