@@ADUAquascaping yeah i want to transfer it to an aquarium, but im also broke, so i was like "dude, i can sell this stuff", but i think the guy who sold it to me knew what he was doing (or i suck), because its all dying. thats not entirely true, i put some immediately in the water, when i received it from the seller, and that is the only stuff that was growing right away, and has continued growing. but i only have ceiling lights, so my guess is thats why its not doing so hot.

Do you by chance know the common or scientific name that small sword plant in the left corner of your tank is called?
@ADUAquascaping 28 күн бұрын
Dwarf Xingu sword. Echinodorus xinguensis. It is fairly delicate in my current setup. It has been taken over by pearl weed but still alive. It would probably do a bit better with more light and nutrients. It faded a bit as the soil became depleted even with adding root tabs

Not all plants that thrive in soft water do not grow well in hard water in a home aquarium. It is simply a matter of experimenting like you said in the video.

Yes, the micronutrients can be harder to obtain, and the same goes for the carbon. Plants won't start using bicarbonate as a carbon source until the pH is above 9. That would only be found in spring fed ponds or African Rift Lakes, for example. Anubias or bolbitis would be examples of plants that would reach their compensation point and then need to start utilizing bicarbonate for their carbon source

The only moss I have been having a lot of success with in a hard water tank is Taiwan Moss... At first I was thinking it was withering away on me. Now, I have more Taiwan Moss than I can handle. I am able to make a carpet and wall with it easily.

The tank burst out because you removed the rim. You said that in the 1st video & lo and behold it happened.
@ADUAquascaping 5 ай бұрын
No, that isn't what happened. A rim on a 10 gallon doesn't add much structural support, if at all. The silicone is enough force to keep a tank together. The rim on a 10 gallon is just to protect the corners and the person from being cut by glass. This is why and how rimless aquariums can exist because the silicone is doing the work. What happened is that my dad was bumping around in the night and knocked the aquarium off of the small table that it was sitting on. I just didn't want to embarrass him or say that in the video! Haha

A few years ago I had a tank like this, but not as impressive as this one. It was pearling heavily sometimes without CO2 injection, just like it did with CO2 injection, usually straight after a water change or if I dosed liquid ferts. I was told I had ‘magic water’. Seems you have magic water as well, lol. Seeing your tank now makes me realise it was not my water. Thanks for showing us. When you see it with your own eyes you realise it is real. My CO2 system failed and after a few weeks I realised I did not need it. Never used CO2 again. It is gathering dust in my closet.

Oh, man. I totally get that. I would still like to use CO2 on a larger scape, but yeah, it's really not needed on small tanks. It is exciting to see pearling in a low-tech setup. I find the lighting also helps as well as the water. Thanks for watching!

Hey Dave , I have been trying to figure something out with my setup that hasn't been set up yet due to a few concerns that I have been searching for the answer before I have any regrets from damaging my regulator. So I have been trying to get my UNS mini hooked up to a 24oz. paintball cylinder. The setup video from UNS has a UNS Paintball cylinder that has the dial to open and close. The Tippmann cylinder that I have does not, so I have been trying to hook up the two without damaging the regulator from the PRESSURE. I hope I explained the potential to my fears of doing something that has my brand new reg ruined . The funny thing is that I had no fears when I attempted the first time but since I forgot to put the o-ring in the adapter I got my first " burst " of the power of pressurized CO2 😲 ....that has been corrected and I bought a whole 10 to replace if and when I have an empty cylinder , but I have been reading of so many people who have a full tank and life is great and it's not so the next morning or whenever their CO2 escaped . So those are what's holding my hair as I'm puking in the toilet of the paintball blues , not to mention that prior to the everything I had been using the reg with a 95 gram Fluval canister for a few months and it's amazing the results etc. But now 2 weeks with not a drop.😿
@ADUAquascaping 7 ай бұрын
Hi, can you purchase the same pressure valve UNS uses on their paintball cylinder and hook it up to the paintball cylinder you are using? Or can you purchase a pressure valve for paintball cylinders in general? I am not familiar with using paintball cylinders. Another option is to open the mini regulator valve and needle valve all the way as you connect the regulator to the cylinder. And make sure to tighten the regulator really well to the cylinder. Then, adjust the working pressure (30-40 psi) valve in the cylinder, and then adjust the needle valve as needed. I am sure this will be loud and you will lose some CO2 as you are tightening the regulator to the cylinder. I would first try and find a pressure valve adapter for the paintball cylinder. Similar to the one UNS is using. They are obviously using it for a reason. You may find it on Alibaba, Amazon, or Ebay. I hope this helps. I am not familiar with paintball cylinders and mini regulators, so I am not sure if the mini regulator can withstand direct pressure from the cylinder or not.

Can you grow red plants in hard water? Like ludwigia, rotala
@ADUAquascaping 8 ай бұрын
Rotala rotundifolia may work or Ludwigia triple red or repens. Hard water just makes it more difficult for a lot of plants to use nutrients, so you will have better luck if you use a soil substrate and dose potassium in hard water environments. A lot of plants can acclimate to hard water over time, say 6-12 months.

Saying "ChatGPT agrees with me" is a horrible argument. ChatGPT has been shown repeatedly to make up answers. It's generating answers that sound like a human. It doesn't guarantee truth or accuracy. If you don't believe me, ask it about a topic you KNOW about and you'll see just how easy it is to get an inaccurate answer. Or, search KZfaq for people that demonstrate it by showing you their queries and the responses.

OK, many other people also agree with my sentiments and conclusions. It doesn't give me direct answers. I have to probe and debate with it in order to gain clarity on a topic. These are moralistic insights, so we can find just as many studies that agree as we can that disagree. I argue with it all the time. I know how biased and inaccurate it can be. I correct and educate it often, haha. I am convincing it, not the other way around. It eventually agrees with me, not I agree with it. If it weakens my arguments, then I won't make an appeal to the AI. I will just assume authority 😉 😜

That being said, I am open-minded and will consider new concepts. Refinement, integrity, morals, beauty, perseverance, charity, responsibility, and optimization matter, in my opinion. I am biased towards Japanese and Germanic cultures. In my opinion, they are better in many ways.

I'll give u one quick example , let's compare Winsten Chruchill & Adolph Hitler. At surface level one will identify one as patriot and another as mass murderer . But, do we know that Churchill killed 10 times more ' Bengalis ' than Jews during WW2 by intentionally creating manmade famine. Given a choice I'll rather walk into gas chamber than starve to death. So, here's how history is written and bias is portrayed always in favor of the winning side. None in the world will tell yo Hitlerr & Churchill both are two different sides of same the evil coin.
