Ho George

That is an Aladins' cave of Coral Reefs... who would have thought keeping nitrates high would be of such benefit...

I really like Jürgen he is a very unique person. He has appeared in German video's before and I have adopted some of his lazy approach methods.

@@ncoppensHow has that worked in the home aquarium? What’s your setup?

Exclennent informative

Completely agreed

He's changed my tropical freshwater tank for the better. Fantastic advice always and a genuine passion

Imma be real with you if you have your tank & it’s predictable you’ve had it for years, I had a SPSLPS and softy tank that I never test and that thing was running for four years I just knew how much it needed & when by how my coral & fish responded I’m probably gonna get a lot of flack for saying this, but there’s a lot of ways to do this hobby that they won’t tell you because they want to make a quick buck

I agree with you. There’s always rhyme and rhythm to the madness if it works. I’m a freshwater guy and have a pond outside. Where I live it’s warm Mediterranean summers so my three 21 inch common plecos thrive in that thing. I don’t use a conventional filter with pads and all that. I, instead, used 3 large planter buckets with no drain holes and added three inch piping through all the bottoms connecting them together. I drilled holes in the piping in each bucket so water can disperse into the buckets. I used basic lava rock from the garden section and used that to plant several elephant ears and whatever else I felt was a good nutrient puller. And filled those in with the lava rock so water can filter through plus establish beneficial bacteria in the pores of the rock. I used a submersible pump that’s around 3100 gph and I gotta say my red eared slider male, my peninsula cooter female, two koi fish, three massive plecos, and minnows are quite happy and healthy while the water is crystal clear

Apart from the completely nipped clownfish

This guy is proper, indeed.

Yes, agreed. He reminded me of a hoarder. He's so wealthy nobody wants to tell him that the fish are struggling. He might rescue fish but if he's not isolating them then everybody will get subjected to the illness. I felt like someone needed to secretly do some water testing to find out how we can help him. He's got an awesome facility and beautiful tanks but it's time to sell at least a third? That clown fish that was half bones. Heart breaking.

And he calls himself lazy. Clearly he isn’t. That would be a ton of work for multiple people to keep up with much less just one.

Yeah, clownfish tend to fight in close quarters as well. Way too stressful for them to have a chance at healing.@@shimmerysparkles123

@@shimmerysparkles123 my man they were given to him like that. they aren't ill or infectious, they are quarantined before put into a tank and those are just physical deformities.

You seriously looked at all that and saw a problem?? I think you are the one that needs help!@@shimmerysparkles123

That's what I thought! Thank you for reassuring my I'm not crazy, for that reason anyway.

If that was a platy he would have all the water dehydrated from him overnight. They cannot osmo-regulate like mollies do. I’m telling you it’s impossible..

Ok so I kinda get it but Molly’s look exactly like platys just bigger

I instantly knew I would see this comment after he said that😭

Just Molly and guppies can do saltwater.

Yes exactly! No filter!

Kind of like how there are way more tigers in captivity just in the United States alone than in all of the wild.

At this rate, there will be very few, if any, corals in the oceans

You do realise how large the ocean is 😂😂

@@asphaltanimal8809 yes but coral requires some special environmental conditions to grow... Also I was just kidding about the population...

​@@asphaltanimal8809less than 1% of the ocean is coral reef
