Try putting in a sump. It's like a second tank and allows you to hide all your filters and equipment. Throw some bushy nose plecos in there. Also, a sump is much more forgiving as far as maintenance goes. Those canisters are great but you have to keep an eye on them. If not,, they plug up fast. And they are expensive and expensive to run. Use an old ugly tank below and hide it from sight. The bigger the better.
Hey can anyone help? I tried out a yeast-based diy co2 system and unknowingly had the check valve the wrong way around. Now my tank (which is not stocked as it was cycling) is full of the yeast mixture. I've done a 100% water change, didn't help for some reason. I will refill it again until it is clear and safe for my fish and plants, but does anybody have tips? Thanks!!
@@louisgrissman4857 depends how often you need to change and the amount of water in the tank. And I have my own water so its only the electricity for the pump. And its running max 10min per refill so around 4amps 400volts thats 1600watts divided by 6 thats 266watts so 0,266kw/h and I pay 0,06Euro per kw/h so 0.067euro maybe two times a month
I'd say just go for it and get another goldfish :) as long as you check regularly that your cycle isn't going to crash, it'll stabilise. Bet your fish will be so happy to have a friend
When I did goldfish I had two ryokan goldfish in a 55 gallon tank with a simulator setup. I absolutely loved my ryokan goldfish they were huge the size of their body without fins was a salad plate. They were my favorite! People would ask me all the time if they were real. Absolutely gorgeous 🥰 I'm miss them they lived for forever. But agree the over filtration is a must for crystal clear water
Tetra filters have build in tabs that make the water clear. If you don’t want to any of this shown in the video, just get a tetra filter. Very underrated filter, I’d say it’s better than aquaclear. Due to the fact that aquaclear is just very loud and clear.
Step 1, don't over stock, step 2 only canister filter, load it lava rocks, and purigen, and sponges. Step 3, water changes but not such a large volume. Only do this if your tank is cycled.
Correct answer is the pothos. I have over filtered before and my tank water still became green. You need some plants, especially the pothos, to absorb those excess nutrients that causes algae.
I hope you see this because I'm genuinely curious. Do you get water straight from the faucet or is it stock water? Because I stock mine before doing a water change. Wouldn't direct tap water kill the beneficial bacteria if you put the water conditioner later on? Just really curious.
I don't know if it's been asked or addressed before, but I've always wondered if there's a reason you don't put fish-safe decorations in your tanks? Or any plants other than the ones you put on top with the roots in the water
He said some were that goldfish are really clumsy and tend to get stuck and traped in to things. He tried to put some plants in the tank before and one of his goldfish ate them and chocked
@@annielovesu1 Oh that must have been Clarence, I remember that video. Some plants are big enough that fish shouldn’t choke on them, and of course real plants are soft enough and shouldn't harm or trap fish
I don't do large water volume changes, I just do them often. It's enough to keep your nitrates down without draining out the entire tank, just don't miss a water change day.
Hey Luke! Question. I like Bettas, but my tap water is ridiculously hard (we do not have a water softener) Can you do a video on how you manage water quality outside of filtration?
You can use softening tablets, and live plants help a lot with water hardness(specifically, moss! Not marimo moss bc that's not actually moss but grass). As usual just properly cycle and filter the water and test before adding fish for proper quality assurance. This tank should take you a few months to really put together and having driftwood should help with the hardness too! When you do changes, do small 25% changes once a week to make sure you're not introducing too much of the hard water at a time. This will help you lots.
I would just mix the softener and the water conditioner into a two gallon bucket before adding to the tank pre-mixed each time :) it'll be more effort, but Bettas prefer 7.5-7.6 hardness for water and it really does make a difference. A lot of people will remark that they're hardy fish and really don't care but we're not going for survival, we want them thriving! You sound like you care a lot by checking your bases and I appreciate it 😭💜 a lot of people do more harm than good to poor Bettas most of the time. Keep asking questions and doing the right thing and thank you for doing your research first 💜💜💜 heck yeah
Lol Just lol. I've 3.5feet aquarium with two 1feet koi & 4 orendas. Every 8 month I clean my aquarium. All I use is some regular process. My tank water is also crystal clear. Even after 8 months.
Hello! I have been breeding betta fish for years now, and I want to get into breeding fancy goldfish, do you have any specific advice or things I should know?
Follow the rule of 3 h's healthy →happy→horny. Warmer water and multiple feeding a day will get them ready to breed. Then you can add a spawn mop or do it manually. Best of luck
guys if u have plants i wouldn't recommend to have so many filters thats ur nitrits are on 0 bec the plants feed of that an if there is 0 nitrit the plants will die eventually
I used to have a very good filter that had a lot of bubbles, but the fish got stuck inside it and died. I used a different one that was more secure but has less bubbles. Is this good or bad?
That’s way too much water change in one go. 1/3 or 1/2 is the most I’d do on a gold fish tank, also gold fish like places to hide, placing some rocks in the tank will make them more comfortable
Bro a couple of Q's How often do you do your big water changes? And ... does all the extra filtration really allow for longer time between water changes? If not , what's the point? I have 2 canister filters , one with sponge media and another one with just bio stones, oh and a big sponge filter. And I have about 10 ver small tetras and 4 very small (petco size goldfish) My parameters are in check, and I change 10% water every 2 weeks and it takes my Notrate to 0.

I want to know how high your electricity and water bill must be 😭 hurts just thinking about it
Canister filters wont pull more than around 10watts so its max 0,720kw/h per day with the airpump
@@Druainnow calculate the water :)

@@sovietguy135 me too
I have a 29 gal with 1 goldfish. I have one hang on back filter that came with the tank, then 2 extra sponge filters. And I say they do pretty good.
Nice filter setup. Goldfish are social. You could get a second goldfish.
@@SkipTomylou36always get at least 2 👏🏆
@@SkipTomylou36 thanks! I am actually thinking about getting a second, I just didn’t know if 29 gallons is big enough for 2
General rule of thumb is 20 gallons for the first fish. 10 Gallons for each additional fish.

Was that Mr. Cow I saw?? 🥰
Love your content Luke!!
Ysjcydnjflyy🙂😚
A tip, sump filters is a much economically better way rather than buying canisters, it will require much work but it's worth it
Will u post a video on how to plant pothos in an aquarium, pls?
That water tank is more cleaner than my mind
Beautiful looking tank!
Too clean keep it green 👌
Thank You 👍
Wow beautiful
Day 129 of asking Luke to name a goldfish Stuart
keep at it bud
I like this.
You got this seen you since day 100
You’re a good man tbh you deserve to have a statue named after Stuart

I am all for overfiltration or having secondary filtration; but polyfil and purigen is always a nice add on
purigen is goated
Bro pulled out a Plankton and went into MAXIMUN OVERDRIVE!
Super 👌😄🐟😍👍👌😄🐟😍

I agree with all the points. 👍👍👍

by the way thanks so much i have learned so much of how to take care of my oranda fish
"I have more filters then I have more fish"🤣
You are a very good fish keeper i wish they were all like you

More filters than fishes 🔥
I love your helped.. I'm Lezlie Ann
hiii!! :D im so early this time haha! hope u guys have a nice day!
My dad died…
That just made me laugh on that part
Sounds about right.. I have one similar filter for a 2 feet tank... Can't actually run it at full though..
such happy clean water Chicken Nuggits!
Thank you
Cute goldeen
Correct answer is the pothos. I have over filtered before and my tank water still became green. You need some plants, especially the pothos, to absorb those excess nutrients that causes algae.
What kind of plant is that? Looks great!
Your goldfish are awesome! How do you make your goldfish happy?
I just use Purigen, crystal high-definition clear
Carbon also helps a lot
But how often do we do the water changes? Like once a week or once a month? Also, what exactly do those things on the floor do again?
I bet the real reaso why its.. mr.clean do the job real good
Thank you for this! I’m having problems with the filtration on my betta tank
Hey Luke, can you go over your lighting specs and structure with your pothos? Thanks
The filter situation is definitely overkill but pothos plants work really well
I hope you see this because I'm genuinely curious. Do you get water straight from the faucet or is it stock water? Because I stock mine before doing a water change. Wouldn't direct tap water kill the beneficial bacteria if you put the water conditioner later on? Just really curious.
I remember seeing this video mouths ago 👍👍
Especially with gold fish. Waters so clean you might as well buy discus
One thing he does, but didn't mention is frequently removing the waste (poop, uneaten food) from the tank.
Can you show me how you got your plant potted?
Hiii Luke! Please, can you explain salt use into goldfish tank? (For a long). Thank youuu ♥️
OMG THE WAY HE PRONOUCED THE PLANT IS FONNA MAKE ME CRY 🥴

Name a gold fish Goldstein still day 8 also I love ur vids❤
With this particular tank with 3 fish and this much filters how often are you doing water changes?
Those goldfishs living in VIP tank for real
I don't do large water volume changes, I just do them often. It's enough to keep your nitrates down without draining out the entire tank, just don't miss a water change day.
Again... can you tell us what we have to do after the fish affected by white spots on their body? please...

Luke I want plants can fit in my small tank and are easy to find any recommendations?
How many times a week do you change your tank water? 😊
What's your favorite canister filter brand and filter materials?
Oh finally a tutorial that i was looking for
❤
do you have any plecos in your tank? Can we add one in goldfish tank?
Step 1, drop canister filters! Step 2, build a sump!
guys if u have plants i wouldn't recommend to have so many filters thats ur nitrits are on 0 bec the plants feed of that an if there is 0 nitrit the plants will die eventually
I think that you only use sponge filters but you're using lot more filtration
Big water change and too often? In my experience this actually causes nitrate spikes
my turtle tank is covered in turtle food by the 3rd day
saya akan, mencobanya, sy baru membeli aquarium tapi air nya masih tidak jernih
Since you don’t sell fish anymore, what do yo do with all of the baby goldfish?
I used to have a very good filter that had a lot of bubbles, but the fish got stuck inside it and died. I used a different one that was more secure but has less bubbles. Is this good or bad?
how often do you need to change the water?
Fun fact about me: i don't use filters but my fish tank is crystal clear
peas peas peas peas peas peas peas!!
Would you ever keep tropical fish?
Does a goldfish heart keep beating even after it dies?
Iam so sorry... I got it to not let go yet. All my fishes are from Island from Connecticut. She beautiful.
Hey Luke I know my fish aren’t goldfish but I need help the outdoor pond keeps fogging over with a greeny-white film
What kind of water do you use for goldfish
Can I keep a goldfish just 1 on a 10 gallon tank with filtration and some pathos plant???
Gotta have it in at least a 20 gallon. If it’s a common do ATLEAST a 40 gallon
That’s a lot of work
My piano teacher has crystal clear water and it was so pretty. He has betta fish, I think
Bonus about pothos (I hope that’s spelled right): pothos looks amazing
How long does it take pothos to grow? I have some in my filter and haven’t noticed anything
What are all the goldfish types you have?
How often is often ?
What temperature should I adjust the heater for the gold fish aquarium ?
How do you deal with a hurricane and the electricity goes out?
How often do I have to change the water?
Step 7 have a lot of money cause that ain't cheap
That’s way too much water change in one go. 1/3 or 1/2 is the most I’d do on a gold fish tank, also gold fish like places to hide, placing some rocks in the tank will make them more comfortable
