Welcome to a new Aquariums 4K video, where we are inaugurating a new section titled "Saving Aquariums". In this episode, we focus on recovering a neglected aquarium after a vacation. The goal is clear: transform this problematic tank into a perfect aquarium, suitable both for my level and for the expert audience who is always looking for more.
In this weekly (or bi-weekly) series, I will document every step I take in the aquarium, from identifying problems to applying solutions. In today's video, we face cyanobacteria, filamentous bacteria and diatoms, as well as balancing phosphate and nitrate levels.
What we cover in this video:
Analysis of current aquarium problems.
Cleaning and extensive pruning of plants.
Water change and methods to eliminate cyanobacteria.
Fertilized with mineral salts for macro and micronutrients.
Application of beneficial bacteria to stabilize the ecosystem.
This series not only seeks to improve our aquariums but also to teach and learn together about the challenges and solutions in advanced aquarium hobby. Join me on this journey to see how we can transform a troubled aquarium into a beautiful Dutch aquarium.
