This is where your fish stores get their fish from: a tour of old school fish wholesale facility
It's always a treat to visit Southland Aquatics for their wide selection of freshwater fish, and also some nice surprises from time to time!
This time I got some fish for both myself and my clients.

The Vampire Crabs and blue stiphidon gobies are going into the Water's Edge. I'm working hard on a video of that tank, but you can get some more info of it here: czcams.com/video/Yn_mEc1K7J0/video.html
Let me know if you guys have questions and what you'd wanna see in the future, thanks!

Can someone name all the fish in the tank please? Would like to duplicate this set up
@@GD-gt5xm I named all the fish in the beginning of the video
@@TMKAquarist do you mind writing them down for me please? The accent is kind of hard for me and I’m seriously interested and will subscribe to your page

What kind of rock did you use?
Great tank Mark, do you use CO2 fertilization for your plants on this big tank? And if you do, what type of reactor do you use?
@@Backblast72 ya I did inject co2 for a period of time, that’s when the plants, especially the Amazon sword just absolutely took off! But for its later part of life, I stopped using co2, although the plants were as glorious, they were still thriving and healthy. I didn’t use a reactor, but I used this old school diffuser called “cyclone”. It basically just created a vortex using the jet from a pump and broke up the co2 bubbles into smaller bubbles. Not the most efficient way to do it, but still worked.
Amazing tank. What diet are you feeding the wilds?
Amazing tank!!!!
Thks so much!
What is tank size???
300gallons
@@TMKAquaristsorry, measurement of the tank

@@TMKAquarist thankyou brO👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome ❤
Thks bro!
Also how do you find so many holos we have done 7-10 vaults this wip and got none
Holos?
@@TMKAquarist sorry must of glitched was watching a gaming video love your tank though😂😂😂😂
@@user-ym9ip5fj2r haha Thks!
Are these footages in real time? Or these are slo-mo?
That’s actually real time :)
@@TMKAquarist woah I thought these are slowed down. Trully discuss are gentle swiimers. I could watch them for hours.
@@Dave_Andre thank u!
Amazing as always 😍
This is hella underrated. Although I don’t do fish tanks or work with glass, I do art a lot and work with clay, and building something this big in one day is hella impressive, it takes me about 3 days just to make one cup 😨😱 u are very talented
Thx so much! I’ve had a lot of practice 😆
@@TMKAquarist Yw! U look rlly professional doing this, keep it up! This is genuinely epic, and I was abt to say that it’s big enough to fit one of those small sharks in there but that reminds me of a dream I had where the fish escaped my fish tank and were flying around in my house and there was a lemon shark 🤣🤣😂😂😅
@@Honey_Boba159 haha, I’ve had those kind dreams too!
@@TMKAquarist always feel super weird when you see stuff you recognize in a dream but it is all wonky 😄😲
So pretty I wish I could get a tank as big as that one day
I’m waiting for the cleaning video 😂
wow that’s so amazing
Thk u!
Such an incredible scape!
Thk u!
Wow!
🍞🍞🎶
Such an underrated fish the Bolivian Ram awesome little fish! discus and Geo’s?
Yep, cupid cichlids
Great idea to keep sump outside the house. What is the lowest temperature during the winter?Thanks
It’s gets to low 50f here in Southern California
Well it does make sense now, here in Irl temp are going down some times to -10 celsius, I don’t know how efficient will be to keep the sump outside…
Beautiful 😍
😄
Beautiful 😅
Thk u!
Always appreciated this tank and nothing comes closer to perfection! But when I learn the amount of plumbing, sump, filtration, space, amount of water used or drained everyday it’s just seems extremely complicated, expensive and artificial. Like none of those fishes will ever reproduce or have a natural life cycle. Just an elaborated colorful painting made by life fish and plants. It’s great, no doubt, but what’s not seen behind this magnificent facade is what makes me have second thoughts on having anything like this at home. It’s like running a mini factory in your home for some extremely sensitive non-native colorful fish
Thanks. And just imagine the work that it’ll take to keep a healthy reef tank ;)
@@TMKAquarist galactic from my POI, no doubt you put in time! Real quality time !
Not complex !?? 🤦🏻♂️ this setup definition of beyond complex Finally discovered what’s underneath that mesmerizing, hypnotic tip of the iceberg aka Grotto 😢
Haha I guess I’m comparing it to reef tanks. It was complicated for me when I first started tinkering with the setup, but I’ve just gotten used to it by now I guess, so it doesn’t seem complicated to me anymore
@@TMKAquarist oh yes! Am just few years into this hobby and when I see such live creations it’s just so much to process and seems impossible for me to ever be in such a position ever, really! You are gifted and blessed no doubt 🙌🏼
Have to get a pilots license first then license to drive the system 😂. I'm happy watering my lawn with water change.
Guinacara?
🩷Magnificent
Thk u!
Wow😮😮😮,,, how do you keep the water crystal clear???
Reddish scales? Is this a different kind of biotodoma cupido?
Bolivian ram :)
MAY I ASK WHAT BUSINESS YOU ARE IN? The way you make your big $$$ 😮
Who said I make big money? I wish haha, I turned pro for aquascaping and aquarium design in 2019
@@TMKAquarist HAHA I NEED TO QUIT ASSUMING BUT I SENSE BY THE WAY YOU TALK AND ACT YOUR SUCCESSFUL. DEFINITELY A COMPLIMENT. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR BUGATTI???
@@RealWatchThis that’s a nice compliment! Thanks! I do believe I’ll be able to achieve financial success soon though, just the term “success” is different for everyone. For me, success is not necessarily a Bugatti haha
@@TMKAquarist Thx for your reply’s. Enjoy your videos and I think Bugattis are ugly anyway

Wow. Stunning. You gonna build an enclosure for him.
Sure am!

Agreed! Or don’t know that’s an option for them
What are the dimension of your aquarium?

I love them.
Very pretty
Thank you! 😊
Wow!
Thanks

Ehhhh doesn't look perfect to me
The RETURN PUMP is turned OFF during this small water change ( 15 - 20 gallon ) procedure?
No, it stays on
@@TMKAquarist In this automotive process of changing water in the return chamber of the sump..how do you maintain the Kh ( dKH ) parameter of the pure RO water which you are using since anything below 2dKH will enable PH swings and eventual crash. RO water in it's pure form has little to no Kh and without the buffering capacity to retain a stable Ph level. Ph swings are near fatal to discus and a 3dKH of 50 ppm is very much required for a stable Kh parameter and a stabilized Ph level.
@@rajadey4919 ro depends on ur local water, it can’t stripe that much minerals, it’s not rodi. So even pure ro, it’ll only bring ph down to 6.5 to 6.7 with my local water.
@@TMKAquarist Ok. Thank you and If it's possible for a automated water changes through canister filter..please upload a video.
Hell of a tank....Best of the best. Pal what is the glass thickness? ..
Thk u so much! 19mm or 3/4” ;)
