- Learn how to grow aquarium water lettuce. There are lots of benefits to keeping this plant in your fish tank. I also talked about feeding this plant nutrients and making sure you have the right lighting because it won’t grow without that. Aquarium water lettuce needs a little bit of fertilizer in the water column and a 5000 to 6000 Kelvin light.

Your set up is INCREDIBLE! This is my first year successfully overwintering water lettuce. I brought them in from my pond in late fall. I put them in my snail only tank with a cheap 10w MingDak clip on light. I do have a back of the tank filter, but I put some airline tube floating around it to minimize disruption.
I tried growing it in my greenhouse with no movement at all. It started to grow up versus flat, but never put off any babies or additional leaves in 3 months.
Drunk talking to water lettuce haha 🤣 that got my like!
Hey man thanks for sharing the info. I just started keeping this plant and I'm trying to learn. It's doing really well outdoors in the tub Pond but I'm going to make the transition to growing it inside for the winter, so I appreciate the tips!
Loving the passion!!! Can't geek out enough on this stuff........
Just got a dozen small daughter plants last week. Thank you for the tips. I have Nicrew lights on all of my tanks. Been using aquarium Co op easy green. I make wood blocks to space the lights above the tanks a bit.
What a legend I remember watching videos of yours years ago about cichlids when I was a novice and kept fire mouths in a gravel aquarium, 5 years later I have a sand substrate and have just ordered Salvinia and Water lettuce 👌
You place looks AMAZING !!!
Excellent idea w the Entertainment center.
You are so right about surface movement ...
I recently added a tiny hang on the back and noticed the frog bit stopped thriving .
I couldn’t figure out why until now thanks to you .
Keep going .... your passion is great and the idea of a private fish store with artistic aqua scapes is very cool (a aquarium art studio so to speak Is so needed in the fish keeping world . I wish there was such a place in my area . You may want to consider offering classes on new set ups , aquascaping , aquaponics ect . at your little store studio for value added ... I am not sure if you are doing this just as a hobby or as a business ?
Anyway ...Thank You for sharing .
Oh yea ...
Your frog bit will take off by placing your aquarium in front of a window .
Mine is in the south at an angle in the corner of the room along w a aquarium light . I have a Walstad set up using Father Fish’s substrate formula and my frog bit is doing extremely well. Water 1/2 RO and half well,
Use sponge filter or no filtration w betta fish .
wonderful advice!! I'll definitely try it out!
Really cool Bro. Good stuff....Hoorah!!
I am geeking out over your house as well. Like, my dream home with the tanks. That entertainment center.........WHOOO BOY~!! I got water lettuce because I thought it was cool looking. It always died. I never researched. Eventually, I put some in my shrimp tank that has like NO surface agitation, and it exploded. Trial and error, I am now a pro at growing the lettuce.
I for real thought he was at a pet store
I love your entertainment centre!!!
Love your setup , me being me i wouldn't be able to focus on the TV lol , I would remove it, great space for a tank lmao
Entering center is outstanding 👍
Man your tanks are awesome
Think your entertainment center is rad. I think the "fish tanks all over" look is super cool too 🤣 I have one little tank close to a tv and I'm scared to turn the TV up too loud . There's a Betta in there with super long fins who likes to do a lot of quiet time resting.
If you are using a hang on, make a guard so the floaters can't get to the output of the filter, works amazing, I use a plastic pop bottle qnd cut a nice long strip of plastic, works better than airline tubing with evaporation!
Great advice
Really nice setup. I really liked your advices about water lettuces. Do you have any tips regarding keeping water lettuces or aquatic setups in sunlight?
Gorgeous room!
Don't limit discussing technical information in your videos. It's their job to catch up with us. After hearing light specs 300 times they'll finally figure out what we're talking about.
I literally decided to comment because u ask, but gd job yr put together lookz great 👍
That entertainment center setup is the dream.
Amazing aquariums
I got some yesterday night and it was standing tall and stiff but this morning it’s now flattening on the surface
A whole fish store! WOW!
I've got frog bit in my outdoor pond that gets no direct sunlight and it's doing well
Nice setting! I thought you had a store lol
I received two small water lettuce pieces about 5 weeks with an order of red root floaters. For the first 2 weeks they just survived with very minimal light. Then I got a good light and they exploded, to where they were covering probably about 1 eighth of the surface of my 20H earlier today. I've now taken about half of it and put it in another tank, and I'm going to let the remaining water lettuce grow down all the way into the substrate in one of the corners of the 20H. Just to see what happens.
Great vid, question. Would Water Lettuce be good for my aquaponics (guppies, snails) Primary Tank or would it eventually deny my Secondary ClayBed GrowTank the nutrients it needs?
awesome video man. you definitely have 80 HD lol but it was all awesome
Is it best to grow the water lettuce as the only type of floating plants in a tank? All my tanks have water spangles already. I know they would probably be fighting for surface area once they both really start growing
do you have any knowledge or advice for growing in an outdoor pond? i bought one water lettuce and they have bloomed into about 100.
Now this is me building shelves ,lol
Failed last year doing this. Appreciate the video. Definitely think it was the water level and I burned the water lettuce up along with the water flow.
My water lettuce is outside do they need a a heater or what
I'm here to try to find out if I can leave my water lettuce in my stock tank outside this winter since it's heated. The water should be warm enough but the air temp can get down into the 20s at night in the winter here, and it's southern facing.
Check your state laws
what are you doing the water with for lettuce?
do the plants need any extra liquid fertilizers ?
I have some pest on my water lettuce what should I do… looks like alphides
I've tried for months with floating plants - red root floaters, water lettuce, frogbit - they all melt. 7-gallon betta tank with very little surface agitation, Hygger light with auto sunrise/sunset mode. I tried adding Fourish and they got worse! I'm about to give up LOL
Can you guys please tell my why my water lettuce are eaten by something, one of the leaf was bitten little by little and it got to all of the leaves. I dont see any visible insects or anything. Can i eliminate these things by soaking my lettuces in fish meds. I have like med for white spot or something can i eliminate these things by soaking into meds. Help me please, all the newborn water lettuces are eaten bit by bit.
Your setup is fucking awesome
Full spectrum lights?
love the entertainment ctr.
Tell me you wrote done how to make that entertainment center
I want that entertainment center stand!!! Everytime I see it I beg my partner (who is a carpenter) to make me one. 😢pleeeaase
Is the sunshine okay for them? İf I left the aquarium near the window?
They love the sun more than the artificial light
nice vampire load on your home lmao.
What about a 150g pond
Like 693. Have a nice cool day with a cold beer. 😉
'You had to touch the ocean'
The tv is in the way
Paano mag alaga niyan turuan mkoo plsss.
Im here because my store bought water lettuce was put under sunlight and it dried up?
They might not like my waterfall then....😢
Wish you would get to the point
It looks like trash I'm taking it out of my tank
