- Everything You Need to Start a Blackwater Aquarium | Mini Series - MR BRIGHTFRYED
In this video we go through many of the items you will need to start a blackwater aquarium including a few useful tips along the way.
In this mini series we are talking all things "Blackwater" or "Natural Style" as I prefer to call them. The idea of the series is to give an overview of blackwater aquariums, how to set them up, lighting, plants, stocking guides the lot! Make sure you tune in for this mini series which will be running over the next few weeks.
Enjoy!

Umm i wonder because the water are brown from the catapang leave, if we put a filter, doesn't it means that the brown water will be clear? And the material inside it will stuck on the filter?
Loving the series James! 🤓
Thanks Jeff. Lots more coming too 😁🍂
Nice video. I'm currently trying to set up a tank. Quick question: how can I cycle a blackwater aquarium? It is my understanding that due to low pH, blackwater tanks are harder to cycle properly
Thanks, cycle it the same way as any other aquarium. Just bare in mind at the beginning adding botanicals is the equivalent to adding livestock in the sense that its considered bioload so too much too soon could cause bacterial blooms etc. I've read in the past that bacteria works better is more alkaline but I've not seen any dramatic effects on the cycle with either. It's probably best if your worries to create the aquarium first, cycle it then add the "Blackwater" elements such as pods, leaves etc as the weeks/months progress
@@MrBrightfryed I think this is a good idea. I'll keep it in mind and thanks for the reply!
Great video, subscribed!
Thank you so much. Really appreciate the support 🙏
Not a fan of these but still a very interesting video.
Thank you. 👍
How do you keep away surface protein film forming in that kind of slow moving/stale tanks? Paper towels and surface skimmers? Is it unavoidable with these types of aquariums to get and how often do you clean the surface?
Hi I'm greetings from Philippines!! I just want to ask if sponge filter will remove the tannins? because wont that be a really big problem? I'm planning to create an aquarium like yours please kindly respond to this comment.
Hi there, generally the only way the tannin colour fades from the water is through water changes or if you are using a type of activated carbon. I run sponge filters in all my aquariums and can't say I've seen them remove any tannins from the water. Hope this helps.
@@MrBrightfryed thankyou so so muchhh this is really helpful
@@XzhandreiTorralba Anytime, Glad to be of help!

That intro music is super painful.
