Nice videos. Short enough to keep interest and long enough to get all the salient points in. No fluff. Keep it going.
This is just what I was looking for. Gabe's adult, straight forward, to the point style is great. His years of experience mean good practical advice. Good on ya, Gabe. Breath of fresh air👍
Appreciate your honesty gabe, thanks for making us such great videos.
Works 10.000 times better than any of the shelf dedicated product and it is almost for free in compare. One thing i will add - it evaporates quickly and the vapors can ruin your lungs also very quickly, so be careful.
i like how you done this video,short quick no unnecessary words, the things you talk is all people need to know . thank you.
This had to be one of the best videos I have ever watched on CZcams. I'm greatly impressed and instantly subscribing
You are great sir and a true hobbyist who distribute the knowledge.. appreciated
Thanks Gabe, I always wait for your new information videos , u are the best !
this mans legit ! sheeeit, godbless for people like this man you got my subscription
Been wondering if that was even possible. Thanks for the explanation. I enjoy your videos as they are extremely informative.
Thanks Gabe. for your videos we really learn a lot from them and we really appreciate the time you take out of you're schedule to better inform us of this knowledge . Keep them coming.
Thank you for taking the time to let me know.
Thank you so much! Me and my girlfriend were struggling with some water buffer in order to lower PH, we live in Brazil and they are very expensive. We've been investing into an angelfish farm, and we couldn't find a way to make the water part to work out... This video helped us a lot!!! Thank you so much!
I dont have yet a discuss tank, but you have an interesting and eduacational vids..
And one more thing your honest enough and making a way for viewers to avoid contact with acid is a good plus for you..
Making your viewers safe.. that made me watch your other vids..
Love your passion, makes me want to get into discus!
Thanks gabe! You my friend are an open book. Love your videos, keep em coming amigo!
Open book to any hobby is a more enjoyable hobby for all.
Thanks Gabe!
Whenever you speek you ooze pure experience which is more than my age.
God bless u!
This video is old, so you might not see this, but I can’t watch it, and a not express my gratitude. Thank you so much! I have a lot of fish tanks. I’m planning a move to a place where ph is a drastic difference from where I’m at. My PH is around 6.7, and where I’m going it’s 8.0. You saved me, and more importantly all my fish, and my little axolotl!
Love it! Right to the point. This guy knows what he's saying. And only took one take. Not a million cuts, or dorky editing. THANK YOU
Yeah old school real deal pro right here! Not like 99% of the amateur fish keepers on here thinking they are famous....
I don't even keep discus
But the explanation you deliver and way to express the terms it's superb and very interesting !
Beautiful video 👍🏻
Make it easy, make it simple to understand without trying to impress.and anyone can achieve the hobby. Thanks for your remarks.
@@JackWattleyDiscusThanks for the explanation on the chemical reaction. I recently lowered my hydroponic PH using concentrated vinegar, but after a couple days the PH went back up. Now it makes sense that the ph only went down temporarily, while going through the chemical reaction. I added a bit more vinegar today to see if it stays there now. I’ll retest it tomorrow, but I might decide to just go buy some phosphoric acid.
Most clear and informative video I've ever seen. FYI water weighs 8.345 pounds per gallon.
Had discus in the past stop keeping them because my tap ph was to high and had to use all kinds of buffers to get it down. With this great video I may get back to keeping them again. New subscriber.
MEDINA CICHLIDS , I have discus and know what you mean by chasing the ph. My ph out the tap is too low. I have to buffer it up with alkaline buffer to bring the ph up.
OMG, a helpful video that gets straight to the point
I’m late to the party, but I must join the chorus for Gabe. This goes beyond fish, to me Gabe truly enjoys what he does. He loves to deconstruct problems. He loves to teach. I’m lucky to be able to watch. Thank you!
Ive never seen someone could explain this equation better than this guy , amazing u could be a teacher in university and we would never be bored
My Best teachers through life made the subject interesting and those subjects were the easiest to learn. Thanks and enjoy.
Thanks Gabe...all the slick willy, willy nilly hacks....always informative 👍...no BS...GREAT DISCUS REPUTATION
Man! I'm not impressed easily; but you mi hermano, were born to teach! It's one thing to be knowledgable; it's another to effectively teach. I'm new to your world, so I apologize if my questions are redundant. Have you considered or already did a complete step by step DISCUS tank setup video?
once again thankyou sir your knowledge and teachings are amazing to say the least. blessings my brother
I jut love Gabe. He makes things so simple, and it's so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for watching.
Thanks for getting to the point. Great video.
So educational and entertaining
You're a legend Gabe!
what a champion. no bs, but you can tell he cares.

I've been looking for this explanation for years!!!!! Thank You!
Gabe helping us kick up our discus keeping ANOTHER NOTCH!
Love your awesome advices mate. Thanks heaps.
So glad I found your content, great stuff!!!!
Loving your videos! I find myself waiting for the next one!
Thanks for the inspiration 9 more videos already on the chopping block.
Jack Wattley Discus keep going. It’s making us Discus keepers feel like we can get a resolute voice on Discus keeping. I’ve listened to hundreds of channels and they all seem to conflict on something or other, Your videos always make good sense and how you present it is easy to follow.
Good job Gabe! Dynamic video 😊
As usual gabe brilliant keep the videos coming thanks
Thanks my friend. This is an excellent advise. And I totally agree with you. .. safe first
really like your style mate, seem fun and seems like you really like your job
This video just changed my entire game, thank you man
Enjoy the savings
This guy is a g. Such an excellent teacher.
This dude is awesome. It’s like a Scorsese movie shot in back of the shop but with loads of useful information delivered hybrid Pesci/De Niro style 👌🏻
It's the Joisy accent I can't get rid of it.
Haha - you don’t need to because everyone enjoys the accent, thanks from UK. 👍🏻
Thank you for explaining it in a simple matter
Yasss, Filnally there is a professional doing this! i doing this for my shrimp tank but no one in forum was agreed with me lol, only one problem i found is that muriatic acid made very high number in TDS meter, may be it doesn't mean anything for fish or shrimp but i can't control anymore with TDS or conductivity meter.
what are the tds you get after you add in phosphoric acid? from what ph to what ph ? thank you for sharing.
What a fantastic tip. Thanks so much
I love your videos. Great information, and you make me laugh too.
I remember this from pools, but did not even think about using it for fish. Thank You
Love your tips Jack But Love soo much your positive energy ! Please guys help him as giving his video a thumb up He totaly deserve it !!
thanks a lote gabz from karachi pakistan

Thanks for the inspiration.
This was straight to the point, great!
What a G, definitely subbing!
Thank you for this Information. Great vid.
Ur amazing brotha thanks for sharing your knowledge definitely help 🙏
Great, great video. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us! Happy subscriber and hopeful to one day have discus of my own.
Thanks Gabe this is great content!
hi gabe thanks so much for this amazing tip! question though, would there be an effect on the tank itself, specifically to the silicone lining in the tank even if you age the water with the muriatic dose in it?
Thank you for this intriguing method
Ahahaha man i love so much how u explain u are awsome haha,funny but also interesting,and wery nice informations! "dint be a slick..." so cool hahah,keep up the good job,wish yall the best!
Thanks Gab! Man you always teach something new whenever you make any new video. 💯 likes.
Thanks sir for this teaching us this trick ☺☺
Good job Gabe thank you this was helpful.
My pH from the tap is 7.8. I can’t keep Cardinal Neons and I have too many Cory’s dying. Unfortunately the max pH for the fish I want to have is too high. My tank is cycled. All my other water parameters are spot on except for the pH. I’ve used pete, water softener pillows, drift wood, almond leaves with no significant result. And they work so slowly and cannot keep up with my water changes. I do a 50% water change about every 10 days with the water that has a 7.8 pH approximately to keep Nitrates down to a safe level. I’d love to install RO but that is too expensive. We just can’t afford it. So I see this as the ONLY solution for the water changes and keeping the pH at a safer level. Thanks for this excellent video!!
please tell me has it worked for you?!
Great video as always Gabe.
FIY: Pure water weighs 8.3 pounds per gallon.
Thanks
Thank you so much that’s such help you are gold
Thanks it's so easy !!
Thank you Gabe so awesome video...
Thanks for your quick reply be live me now is 4 o'clock here in Belgium I am still awake to monitor this fluval E 300 new Heater it is good now 29.5 C , what about the noises and refusing food.
Me now stressed more than those fish, I travelled more than 10 hours to search a good breeder and I brought good quality fish, will they get use to the house disturbances with kids maybe after a while .?
Thanks
Broooooo.... loud and clear ! Got it
Great info video, glad i stumbled upon this site, If i use RO water mixed with a little tap water for a breeding tank do i still need to lower PH or just focus on soft water? my PH is 7.4 from the tap
Nope
Hi Sir, I like the words how you great everyone.. Thanks for the informative video
Straight to the point
Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. 😃
Definitely trying this. My ph starts off at 7.4 then rises to 8.2 after a couple days of aerating. So looks like my tap water is naturally high. The weird thing is I can't tell if the fish are stress. They have full color and most are eating well... except for my electric blue acara. But I'll need to test this out. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
nice Video , 5 years old and still brilliant
That's a great tip cheers for that from England
Cheers
@Jack Wattley Discus I was wondering is this method would be safe to use for aquariums that have caridina/neocaridina shrimp in them?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Really appreciate you putting your knowledge on the internet for everyone to use! Keep up the great work!!!
great stuff!!
Brilliant video ,
Love this guy. Just a quick pointer. Make a bigger base for your trash can and it won't spill over. Your welcome 👍🏼
thank you for the great information sir.. it helps alot
That is a really cool trick.
Thats an awesome tip
That pvc tank filler is great 👍🏻🍻🇨🇦 edit: subbed from Prince Edward Island Canada 🇨🇦🐠
Great video. Will that have any other effects such as on hardness?
Ant time you add you always bring it up
Wonderful video but I don’t need to fill up multiple tanks, I just need to fix the PH in a 10gallon tank. How much of this should I put in a gallon of water. ( back fill water)
Muchas gracias por el video!
Thank you Gab ! 😊
what a great instruction for all & beginners just like me.
🙏
Subscribed after watching this video.
When doing this on a larger (125 gallons) scale - Would it be a good idea to have this solution constantly moving (in storage drums) to ensure total mixture via air stones or pump ? Thanks Gabe - You da Man
Absolutely. We don't want Any strong chemical reaction taking place around the discus.
amazing knowledge
Awesome info
Wooowww that’s is way cheaper than the discus buffer. Great info 👍🏽
Great video👍
Don't be slick, love it.
This guy is awesome. He sounds like Frank Rizzo from the Jerky Boys! :)
