I inherited a tank from my boyfriend after he passed away. He has mbuna and peacocks in it. My tank look almost like yours...but I’m grateful to have came across your channel cause I believe you’re gonna help me be consistent with my tank and cleaning it!!

I dont know how you only have the subs you have you need a whole lot more ive been keeping fish for over 15 years and the way you explain things with so much patience and knowledge is great for those that are getting into the hobby keep up the great work.

Being a first time fish tank owner, I am so so happy I have your channel to follow. Just got my first tank two days ago and your videos has instructed me to take care of everything the right way. So easy to follow and I really appreciate you linking the things you use to take care of your tank, thank you!

When I receive information from you it’s as if I’m speaking to an older brother and he just wants to put me on game and keep it simple. From someone brand new to this hobby just wanna say thanks and keep it going!

Thank you so much for making these videos I just started this hobby last week and have found your channel at first when I started I just thought fish would die every few days but after watching your videos I have Learned how to properly care for my fish and none have died

Those are some beautiful fish. My wife and I just started fish keeping for our daughter. I appreciate the videos and info, there a lot of myth and bs out there. Thanks for cutting to the chase

I throw this video on before I do my water changes. Your chilled approach and guidance ensures me I’m do things right. Love the content my guy. Warm Regards And greetings from Scotland.

Shirt is pretty cool! Thanks for your post, the clarity is appreciated.

I work at a pet store and got moved to the fish dept. these videos are so helpful and everytime i watch a new video i learn something new hopefully other people can also gain experience and fish care and maintenance can be taken seriously 💕

I don’t even have any fish. But I subscribed because you’re awesome.

I feel like I took a full course. Love the content!

Thank you so much for your informative information during a water change. Now my fishes aren't dying and my fishes are more happier. Thanks for your videos 👊🏽

Thank you for this video! I just bought a house that has a 225 Gallon saltwater fish tank and they way you explain the process removes my stress a little bit. Getting ready for my first time ever water change. Wish me luck.

Thank god! Finally an actual video on what to do!!! I subbed

I recently had to empty out my large tank to seal a leak in the bottom. This video really helped me in the whole refill process. I need to get one of those water siphon pumps.

If you do in 80% wanter change all the time it’s not gonna stress the fish, if you don’t do a water change for a long time, and the pH in your tank is really acidic, and all of a sudden you do an 80% water change and make the water very alkaline all of a sudden. The fish stress. Very good sir!

Thank you so much. I'm new to this hobby. I am 76 and stuck pretty much at home.. Love it

Been watching alot of different channels. And I enjoyed your video the MOST. Very clear. Not complicated like others can be or even sometimes they talk too much or too many explanations for something simple.

Love your channel bro, I've looked at like 20 videos in one day. Keep up the good work, appreciate it.

Thanks a lot for this video. There are many bro-science experts out there who really complicate this stuff especially about the water change. I’m glad you dispelled this myth.

How much and how often do you guys do your water changes? Many aquarist just do whats always been working for them, nothing wrong with that! Curious how many different variations there could be....Don't forget to subscribe! kzfaq.info

Man I'm so glad to have found your channel. Every vid is packed full of great info delivered in an extremely articulate manner. You my friend are a true professional. I've turned everyone of my friends who are in the hobby onto your channel. Thanks as always for the great content. Hope your week is awesome!!!

been watching countless fish tank videos and this one my friend, was the best so far. I’ve never owned an african ciclid, but I know how to clean my tank.

Just want to say thank you for such good information, delivered very clearly and understandably. Out of all the information on the various channels I find yours the best, practical and most of all for a beginner you inspire confidence!! So thanks again for all the effort you put into your video's from Josey in the UK.

thank you so much for this educational video, Sir i'm new guy in this stuff, your videos (explanation) is very clear and logical.

Thank you for the help. I always clean around my rocks today I took all the rocks out and decos . Boy was it nasty under the rocks. I was always getting a 40 nitrate level. Now the leval is 20 . I also put some potus plants on the back . . Again tks so much.

I love your channel Kaveman, you put forward your helpful advice in a very professional way. Your fishkeeping Cichlid channel is one of the best on KZfaq. Keep up the great work.

I just got back into fish tanks again and ran across some of your videos.........Even though I’m more into American cichlids your videos have help me Tremendously!!!!!!!!!!.......Keep up the great content can’t wait for more American cichlids videos!!!!!!!

After trying some different approaches this is exactly how I do full clean every month, and just do 20% water change every week.

Just want to say thank you for the information I started my 55 gallon and using a fluval 407 and used everything in your video and my water is clear for my Juvie also use the trick for the sponge filter .

just did your advise and finally got my crystal clear water aquarium, been monitoring it for days. its been 5 days but water still clear unlike before after 2 days of water change water is already dirty and cloudy. Thanks for uploading this video! new pet keeper! from philippines!

Wow, I been having a 55 gallon aquarium for over 20 years with african cichlids I may clean my tank probably once year never new any of this information. I just happen to go on youtube and type how to clean a fish tank and this what came up. Your video is very helpful, thanks alot.

What a great informative video, really helped n love how he genuinely concerned for the fishes stress 🥰

I have Glofishes that I had for two years and I always every once a month did a 100% water change and they were NEVER stressed. Until ppl on Reddit told me that’s bad to only do %30 water changes every week and when I did that I noticed my fishes getting stressed that one died :/ I feel like I agree with your statement that you should take out more and more water as long as your fishes can handle it.

I just started a 55 gallon AC tank going on 3 mos now. Glad I came across your channel. Very helpful and informative. Thanks a mil

I bought the submergible pump you referenced in this video. It worked like a charm. It does not come with tubing and I used what I had. There are 3 different heads for this pump and one of them fit my tubing. I ran the tubing out of the house over the deck railing into a cart. I used this water to water my plants in the yard. After I took out 1/2 of the water, we reversed it put the pump in the sink, ran the water and refilled the tank after putting Prime in the water. We made sure the temp was the same. One thing to note: on the reverse you need to be careful and put the pump underwater the whole time you are adding water back in. My little sink in the downstairs bath is not deep so next time - it will go in the big sink. Reminder to make sure the sink is spotless before doing this. I have ordered the salt and stress products. This saved me probably 2 hours. I always use my tank water for my outside plants and hauling the water out of the tank and into the yards takes a lot of time. Always helpful. thanks Karen

Love your tank! I have African cichlids to where did you get your decor rocks from I really want some 👌

Watching this before my big water change today..... when my kids give me a chance🥴

You rock man! Thanks for the videos. I’m a beginner, we got advice at petco for my daughters new Tetra hifins. Well unfortunately after about 3 hours, our hifins went to fish heaven. We were completely unaware of the nitrogen cycle and, while we waited 3 hours to introduce the fish, added the dechlor and also made sure the water temp was exactly 78, within a couple hours they were gulping air at the surface. My plan now is to introduce some good bacteria and some live plants and the continue to check the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels for the next couple weeks. After that we will go back and get some new fishies. Wish we would have found your videos sooner!

I'm brand new to keeping fish. We went ape and bought 3 tanks. First month was tough as we lost some fish. Thankful we started with"junk fish" I've watched many videos. You're the best! Everyone else appears as ego maniacs and over confident. You keep it basic and honestly, your tank looks better! Thanks

Just wanna know all the info to start a tank like this it’s impressive beo

Thank you for your videos! They've helped me get up to speed taking care of my wife's aquariums.

U r a knowledgeable fish guy for sure the Jedi of tanks nice job, lots of helpful tips.

Man, I am new to this hobby, your videos have been awesome, the pointers you give have not only helped me but the fish become stress free, I started journey with koi so I could learn, temp ph no2 no3 balance, and with your help I continue to learn and get better, thanks again

excellent presentation and very clear for this beginner. thanks from Ireland

I've always wanted a fish tank and of course I'm still going to get one but I did not know before watching this video that it was so much involved in having one this guy seems to be an expert very helpful video.

The fish tank is very beautiful. 👍🏼

Beautiful all around. The thorough descriptions, visuals, knowledge, arms... 💪😇 🐠 😅

New to your channel. 1şț video. Old experienced fish keeper here. Nice job on the video. Thanks.

3 years old just got into the hobby in November 2023 I have followed this video to the core, my friend tells me I do excessive water changes by doing this weekly, yeah right he has pothos and live plants inside helping eliminate nitrates 😅

I use your vids anytime I need to do anything aquarium or filter related. Appreciate you

Really helpful. You gave easy step by step process and your fish look happy and beautiful🥺

Thank you for all of your knowledge transfer. I am just getting back into the hobby

Literally just setup a 55 gallon specifically for African cichlids. No fish in it yet but I’m glad I stopped here first. I have an established 75 and 45 already but I didn’t know I was missing those products you used in regards to the cichlids specifically. Thanks for the tips.

You are the best teacher in the world !!!!!!!

You make very informative and interesting video's - 10/10 - Thank you.

I new tho this hobby a you taught me about my ammonia spikes responsible for my fish deaths and io grew bacteria and had little to no ammonia and I’m going to buy a fish in 2 days because I wanna test and regulate everything before getting it because I’m not tryna make the same mistakes

Finally found what I’ve been looking for.

That water pump siphon was an excellent idea! Glad i have some spare pumps.

Very Informative. I am so much confident now...Thanks and keep it going!!

Great and informal content KaveMan💯👌🏾 your off to a great start I can see the channel blowing up over time. Keep up the good work man you got my sub homie.

This is the best guide I ever seen! Thank you so much for your share

Hi Kev!! My son and I love your videos. He has now upgraded to A 75 gallon tank with beautiful cichlids thanks to you. His question to you is where did you get those décor in your tank?. Those 2 rock formations specifically. Thank you for all you do and please keep up the great work!

Such an awesome video man! BEST Chichlid tank on youtube and info paired with it. Keep up the great work I love your videos. Ever since i started listening to you my peacocks never looked better!

Very informative. Thank you . Picking up my new tank today and starting a set up . This gave me a great idea of what products I need to get .

Nice vid. My tank is slightly smaller than yours. I just bought suction, water conditioner, and bacteria booster. I'm going to be doing this for the next 4 hours 😂 Subscribed. I need to buy the other two treatment solutions you have. Plz don't stop making videos for us. 👍

Man love ur channel its awesome I just bought a 175 and just filled it up gotta get cycling

Just ordered the pump from Amazon vs my python for my 11 tanks! I will get it tomorrow! $24.06 thank you!

Excellent teaching video! Thank you so much! I subscribed to see what else I can learn from you. I just set up my tank a couple of days ago. I’m letting it cycle for a couple of weeks and then I’m getting my fish - African Cichlids.

Firstly, I'd like to say that I love your videos. They are really informative and engaging. I have just received some Poly-fil today, ready for my next opening of the filter! I would, however, like to say that it seems to me that you have too many fish in the tank for the size. Have they grown a lot since you put them in?

Great job Kev I do a 50 % in my 20 gallons every week and my fish are totally fine

Hey kaveman! Have a 29gal sea pro w/ built in refugium to the back. I've been having algae/ bacterial issues a month after tank was first installed. I now watch all your videos, your tank setup is great, you inspired me to try out the "matrix" bio rocks and some more biofiltration techniques. Tank is still a bit cloudy after 4 25-35% water changes this week. Believe I'm on the right track now with your cleaning guides, will just let it handle itself now. Keep up the good work!

It's so cute when you referred to your fish as "people"

Thank you man. I am a newby to the hobby and your content is invaluable already. Thanks again ✌🏼

Learned a lot from you over the past few days going over your beginner playlist. Technically, I'm not a beginner but I feel like one because I've been out of the hobby for 12 years. Very important point you made about the bacteria on surfaces and not in the water channel. I didn't know that.

New sub here! Appreciate the video my guy! Getting back into the hobby after a 5+ year hiatus and I forgot alot of stuff. Thanks again!

Love Prime and the Stress guard always use it

Love the instructional videos, easy to understand

Yo Pai you really really helped me man for real just went from gravel to sand did 100 % water changed my nitrates was horrible too much old bad flakes had gouramis now getting ready for cichlids and putting my own gordo with with the African cichlids lol thank you and needed this video

I have been worried about wasting all that water with the python. Thank you for the pump idea!

Thank you. This was very helpful. I know what to do now! PS I want to get 2 Acolotls and I know I need to put them in sand. I'm trying to learn as much as I can so I can set up a proper habitat for them. If you know more about this, please let me know!!

I like that you add all the de chlorination to the tank then add the water straight in from the tap. I have been treating and pouring individual buckets. I might have to switch up my method

Great content thanks a lot

Amazing video and absolutely loving your tank!!! Love your channel, thanks for all the advice 🥰

Thank you for such informative videos. I too have a african cichlid tank that's 75 gallon and I'm working on getting mine to look as nice as yours for sure.. So keep that info coming...

Kev thanks for a great video for a newbie in the uk 🇬🇧✊🏻🙏👍

Love the videos you make, I used to WC every week but I'm going to only start doing it when I get to 40ppm nitrate, keep records to see how much % needs to be removed to get back to under 10 ppm

Thanks, Great video, I have just got into the hobby and enjoying it. I have a 66 gallon tank with 8 cichlids. Do you add the conditioners to treat the quantity of new water?, or to treat the whole tank capacity?

Thank you for all your help ♡

I really like your editing and presentation. Great job.

Love watching the videos. It’s a little tips and tricks that you have in there that really keep me interested in the hobby and keep me try new things. Keep up the great work

Learned a lot, mostly i have learned from my friend. thanks for the info sir!

Ah I'm with you on the magnet scratching the tank after falling into the substrate! I no longer use mine as that happened to me 😪 I just use a sponge and toothbrush now 😁

Thank you and yes your T-shirt is lovely

love your vids man. Keeps my fish tank fresh all the time :)

Beautiful fish tank decor and fish 😍
