Ty for ur help
Welcome
Great video for beginners
Thanks!
As a very new beginner you are talking sense.... Thank you
@@johngilmore3559 welcome
I've always treated each tank as an individual....go slow, feed sparingly, stock sparingly, do small, frequent partial water changes for dilution purposes. Yes, media from another filter from another tank will have beneficial bacteria, but nothing else in a new setup will include it. So would I really trust this? No...Id still be on top of a new tank either way...playing connect the dots with parameters.
Going slow is a great tip and checking regularly is something I do as well.
@@totheaquarium with my first planted tank Im seeing an entirely new dynamic. Ammonia has struggled to even register, I dont believe I've reached even a .25 ppm. Started off with snails...am new to planted tanks so have gone very slowly, logging what I see....added fish this past Saturday.....even with the significant increase in bioload, its still staying well below .25 ppm.....but my plants have also almost doubled in size since then.....Im realizing, plants will insure a balanced tank as long as you don't do much at all...also helps when you have a built in food chain. Its nice watching fish displaying natural behaviors
@@JTCT371 I am a big fan of plants as well. Both underwater and ones just with roots in the water.
@@totheaquarium My Java Fern is growing little root systems upon its leaves. Im sure those plants pull all sorts of undesirable things out of the water, and apparantly new birth comes along with all the extra nutrients. Its called "rhizome", or something close to that. My cardinal plants have showed the most dramatic growth...since this past Saturday. Love watching how all things come together to create an ecosystem....First time I've had Cory's in sand. All day long they sift through the substrate dispersing sediment, worms, etc throughout the water column whil the other fish gravitate to it, picking out little worms, etc. For the first time ever, I feel like I have a fully functioning aquarium, with alot of working parts all coming together for the greater good. That is ultimately what it is all about!
@@JTCT371 indeed it is and sounds like you have an awesome tank. Hoping to get cory's as well soon.
And also you can not feed your fish the first 2 days, and feed more sparingly for the next week
