I'd just boil the salt in a cup of Ro and then pour it into the bucket. That co2 method is speculative, co2 has to dissolve in the water , prob use sodium bicarbonate and check ph , Tiny bubbler isnt much circulation , use a cheap pump. Finally , if the tds is right then the salt mix may be fine, they might have added lime to bring up ph and it re-crystalized.

If you watch a lot of her stuff, she makes a lot of beginner mistakes. It made her seem relatable since I’m brand new to the hobby. In hindsight though, why should I be taking advice from people making the same mistakes I am in my third month of fishkeeping?

What holes do you use to change a water out?It seems like it was fairly easy

I just got into the hobby a couple months ago and keeping Caridina shrimp seems like a huge pain in the butt. I’m still learning how to properly manage water parameters. My red cherries are doing okay though. Started with 9 and only lost 2 in the first week. One due to predation and one to premature molting. Nobody told me female guppies could be so mean.

The only downside is when you have loads of tanks. I do the drip method myself and I have to do water changes 3x a week a different tank each time because mine are only 10 litre tanks and I take 1 liter out and putting 1 liter back in takes about 2 to 3 hours 😂

All these shits dont work when you change your location from one state to other😂...

Hey I just got my routine to make it a little easier for the few things that need to be taken out of the Shrimp tanks and I have been enjoying everything but that removal intake sponges , sponge filters and a big thanks for the floating plants and not using a net . 1) clean white bucket 2) plan on the Shrimps to make it to the bucket so instead of squeezing my sponge into bucket # 1 just carefully have bucket # 2 and then I can get everything cleaned up and then pour that stinky water through net #1 and hopefully it's empty and if not let them know that I squeezed the best I could whle my routine is a little better than what I was doing before , If you have any Other tips you might make it a future video but of course i will check your playlist. Last thing I had my first tragic loss from usin to course of sponge and I noticed that one of my little ones was sadly dead from getting entangled. Something that I have never heard of but it's totally understandable now .🫡

New to the aquatic scene. Bought the powdered bacteria culture because I was too anxious for my Jarrarium to finish the water cycle, put in way too much, and all 7 bladder snails died overnight :( Now I don't dare to touch the powder anymore.

When you add spirulina powder is it for food or ??? Feel better!

Nakey! 😂 Your caradina shrimp look very happy and the tank looks good now.

Ahhh u naked

Man, looks like you have missed a couple of visits to your gym. But, well, anyway - nice torso.

That was fun 😄

have you thought about a wavemaker? i use one for overnight dechlorination and aeration of the water

w video man love those shrimp!

Good to see you. Hope you're felling better.

For Caridina dennerli, miniral 7.5 is fine, as they originated from Lake Matano, not Towuti. Really no need of miniral 8.5 at all.

LOL! THE CHATTER WAS FUNNY!!! THIS TANK IS AMAZING! THAT JAVA FERN IS AWESOME! LOVE THE RED SHRIMP!!1 THE MULTITUDE OF THEM IS JUST OUTSTANDING! THANKS FOR THE FUN TANK MAINTENANCE!

I bought 9 mail they came in a paper towel with wrapped up and then in a little Ziploc bag plastic bag And that's weird Weird took him out of the paper towel put him in the aquarium they seem to be doing just fine

Hey bro one question 🙋‍♂️ How I kill the scuds in my aquarium ? They come in plants now they destroy all my plants , help !!!

😆

you probably need to get into autistic detail, you have some "good enough" practices. the measurement also says to use 3 grams to 5 gallons. maybe if you made a genuine attempt you might learn from your results. Have you tried letting that water age and then test it to see where the ph ends up? i stopped having issues when i began aging my water for like a week before using it. i have a lot of residue from the salts also .

Dennerli don't need a pH of 8.5 Just use the Dennerle Sulawesi salt with RO water, AIM for 320 to 330 conductivity, don't worry about the pH... mine is not even 7.5 The dennerle salt disolves with just a little circulation pump at 29°C in an hour, the "sulawesi mineral" brand is overhyped (for denerlii, other species might need it) and a pain to use... I use this salt, started with 10 shrimps, have about 100 now, i do 50% water changes they are perfectly fine, no need to drip water change 10% like i saw here and there, my colony is about 2yo now They are not that fragile tbh, 28-29°C, Dennerle salt with RO watrer, decent aeration... and you are good to go EDIT : i also have crabs from Lake Towuti, they are doing great with this Dennerle salt too, anything from Lake Towuti i feel like they do not need that high of a pH, others Sulawesi's lakes do

im having an outbreak of hydra RN, any more advice? its a pinto tank

the editor got liberal with the sfx too many bro, too many

Good video, loads of useful info even with the annoying overuse of meme sound effects. 👌

I need some help I bought plastic plants but read online that they could damage my fishes, so I'm hesitant about using them. I didn't get them for aesthetic but to let my fish have some fun because my new tank is huge but kind of empty. Any recommendations from an expert? (I have 5 gold fish)

You should rinse your bleached tank very well before you add vinegar! That's a chemical reaction. NOT GOOD!

put a bit of salt in a siringe , fill the siringe halfway with water , put your thumb firmly on the opening of the siringe , pull and let loose this will create a vacuum that makes very small particles out of it. but i think it would take ages when u have a big load of salt to disolve, its more for smaller 30l cubes

Do you use tap water?

But yeah I have ordered alxyon towuti liquid remineralizer now but I'm still waiting on it to arrive it's been a long month plus of waiting for it fingers crossed it comes soon

You can make the ph higher by adding a tiny pinch of tanganyika buffer by seachem that's what I do with mine same way you do with soda stream

Oh, you divide them like daylilies or hostas! Yay, thanks Bob!

Feeling like a triple lottery winner over here. My local store converted the crypts to underwater before sale. No melt, beautiful plant. Now I’m here, looking to learn how 2 propagate.

Celcius? Even as a maple sap sucker, I use freedom units for aquatics. Madman.

Ive talked to you on social media before so i know we live in the same area. Our water is really hard with high pH already….why go through all this just to get back to the same parameters as before using ro water?? Lol (I admittedly dont know what our tds is out of the tap). Have you tried adding a smaller dose of the salts to tap or a combo of tap/ro to get the pH you’re after?

My shrimp die everytime i do a water change😢 im not sure what i do wrong. I condition the water and make sure its the same temperature. I only take out a gallon to 2 gallons and they always die right after i add back the water😢

Is RO water just tap water treated?

Everytime i do a water change my shrimp die! Im not sure what im doing wrong! I have a 5 gallon and usually only suck up 1 gallon maybe 2 but i do clean the bottom! I dont knownifnthat is the problem or not!?!?

very entertaining and informative :)

MORE SPONGES TO THE GOD OF SPONGES!

I have huege KH, and 8+ pH in Tap water. with almost 0 Gh :) Every one has its own difficulties

I mix Equilibrium and some parts don't dissolve. But in 1-2 hours they are gone...

shrimps would remove food from dish as well.. to prevent unfinished food.. do not lay a thick layer of substrate. Dish make the tank looks comical too.. so unnatural.. no dish is needed

Correction, should be Alxyon Matano / Alxyon Towuti. It is a liquid mineralizer.

Used should try Alyxon Matano or Alyxon Towuti mineralizer for Sulawesi Shrimp. The salt will dissolved in approx 1-2hrs with CO2 soda stream water + air pump/power head to circulate the water. Should get a PH 8.0-8.5. I gave up on Salty Shrimp 8.5, never get the correct PH after trying so many methods.

I use lake tanganyika buffer (9.0 -9.4). Put that in first, then the 8.5. Leave that for 24 hours with an airstone then add to the tank. It still goes in the tank milky and takes a day or so to settle completely. Got this tip from @RWAquariumPages an seems to work for me.

Used it to kill hair algae and now my monte carlo is dying....

whoa never seen green shrimp, great now i gotta get them

I love you Mr moss ❤
