The Shallow Ecosystem on My Desk (150 Day Evolution)

Рет қаралды 5,433,782

Күн бұрын

Cutting an aquarium in half is not the best of ideas but it's a lot of fun. You can always DIY a something interesting out of the wreckage, and in this case I went on a journey of restoration and built an ecosystem. There's something about shallow fish tanks that appeals to a lot of people, and I thought my desktop was just the right place to appreciate mine (so that my fish can judge my every move while I edit videos about them).
Follow along as the fish tank develops the natural way; with no filter, and no co2 injection.

What happened to the first fish on this world? Where is the Adam here called little gourami? Did he jumped off and died when you go out to do groceries?

As someone who absolutely Loved her fish and frogs as a kid (but hasn’t had any practice with an aquarium since then) it would be such a blessing to have a video in this format for a low budget beginner build! I’d love love love to give this a try - especially with the goal of having a self sustaining ecosystem! All three videos have inspired me so much to set that goal! It’d be especially helpful to have some troubleshooting as a starting point to refer to before making the decision to devote hundreds of dollars into the hobby (and time into the research!) Truly hoping to see more of this gold from your channel, even if it is just more of your own builds! ❤

It is diabolical that you have had the extreme patience & willpower to gather this much footage over so much time and to be able to bring it all together so perfectly into 3 fascinating video stories that catches me and so many others deep in our feels. 3 videos? This much polish? That many views in such a short period of time? Obsessed and grateful for your content. It is like a whole-body, meditative hug. Your builds are gorgeous without being fussy. The commentary is clever & not excessive or overdone. The editing feels light & fresh even though much thought must have been put into them. Please document & release more content on the inhabitants of your builds. Their day to day life, highs & lows, updates, inter species drama, the adorable and incredibly satisfying bloopy sound effects. Greedy ask I know, but… it never hurts to ask. The builds are what draws me in, but it is the daily lives & drama of the inhabitants that hold people like me fast. Thank you so much for your content!

Best aquatics videos along with the "no filter no co2 betta tank" that uses vegetables and fruit to filter water. I like that you aren't a youtuber in your presentation. You are a storyteller, an artist, and a human. I hate how commercial, formal and disingenuous we've become in youtube videos. This is a wonderful way to present your work, and the music and footage is top notch. Don't change anything and just enjoy the hobby for yourself like you seem to be doing currently!

the second plant you had on the island is bucephalandra i believe! it probably died since it shouldn’t be buried in substrate like anubias because of its rhizome

I've just realized that these videos are so loved by all because their format is very similar to those cutsie, slightly educational shows that networks like Animal Planet used to make. The narration, the camera angles, the cute editing giving the fish personalities are all so perfectly reminiscent of those delightful shows. I want more!

This the best, most cared for content I have seen in a very long time. The whole adventure was done perfectly. From the realities of repurposing an old tank and replanting/moving the scape multiple times, to the minecraft eating sound effect and the runescape music... I cant fully explain how amazing this video was! That tank looks amazing! Live plants and fish breeding brings the hobby to a different level!

@@tanksfornothin Just had an idea for you & your channel... Public school classrooms! They're just full of little humans that would LOVE to learn about these tiny self sustaining environments. Just imagine them sitting there watching it everyday & getting to see something new or exciting?! If you have too many, maybe reach out & set up a coffee meeting with a teacher or two from your old school if it's close by or reach out yourself to the closest one to ya? When you do get to chat _tell_ them about your YT channel & ask them if they would be interested in adopting a tank for their classroom?! You could always suggest that the whole class watch your video of their classroom tank under construction. You could set it up with the teacher that when they have finished watching THAT video right as it ends YOU WALK IN, WITH THEIR NEW TANK TO SURPRISE THEM! Maybe, you could film the new tank IN the classroom? (No kids & No you for privacy reasons of course.) Just the tank inside of the classroom & post it as a YT "short" to further promote your channel! Betcha, THAT would get the word spread around & keep your overstock low. Teachers from _all over_ your whole country would start emailing you for one of these beauties. Hope this helps you to inspire an entirely new generation of children, for years to come. Just think about how this could positively help the whole planet, one day?! Teaching little kids about how special & important the natural balance is.🤞🍀 You're fantastic & you deserve the best of what life brings to you. 💕💕

I just... can't believe that this is "just your first channel" and "just a try at making videos". Dude the editing, the filming, the narrative - it...I mean you have 100k subs after a few weeks so you're obviously doing everything right. Did you have another channel before, is this your very first attempts at fish tanks and eco systems? I'm so curious about how why and with what background this came together. It's amazing, I love it!

@tanksfornothin 9 ай бұрын

Thank you for your kind words :p This is my first attempt at all of the above, though I did have one proper tank before these that got me into the hobby (seen as the source of guppies in video #1). I just thought 'omg I could watch this all day I'mma make more and film it'

Out of curiosity and all, how long did it take you to plan this channel? It obviously wasn't just something that happened randomly, as you've got too many valid skills for running such a channel for it to be your first. Just to clarify, there's nothing wrong with this, but I am curious about it :p You're clearly aware of what you want the channel to be, and I look forward to watching what you make.
