    John and Lisa, ALWAYS love the channel. I started my aquarium hobby at the start of the pandemic... with a 70G tank I got for free. We used it as a live example of habitat/ecosystems for our 8 yr old (we home schooled for 2 yrs during the pandemic). Your 240G yellow lab tank is one of the reasons I have a 150G chindongo saulosi tank (wanted a species only tank, but more than 1 color)... I love seeing your fish and your tanks, and hearing about your projects! Keep it coming!

    Love your setup and really enjoying the videos. Just setup my first aquarium after maybe 35 years. Recently moved here to Texas and couldn't bring the reptiles so an aquarium has been a nice addition to my office. Had a 20 gallon while in high-school. Only a 55 gallon so far that is slowly being filled up with 1-2" peacocks and haps. Can't wait till they get bigger and get some color. Have only had it for a couple of months and have been learning a lot. Already want to upgrade to something bigger or add a second one. Haha.

    You're just showing us you're human too. I loled a few times: multi tank syndrome is real, i ordered a 37G last night thanks to the black friday sales I was able to do a pro and con list which became a solid pro list as i will be able to combine 3 tanks into one. While freeing up the multi usage of electrical outlets. Freeing up one of my smaller breeder tanks and using it for a all female tank and or fry grow out. It'll also free up a 5g or 10g to use for quarantine/hospital tank making medicine doses mathematically easier than using my 3G.
    Then I went to show my parents your tanks and began explaining the set up you have for the bettas conveniently about 10 seconds away from you showing it.

    Hello John and Lisa
    I love your videos! Question for you.
    Has anyone here ever tried colloidal silver in their tanks? I had to try it and my tanks and fish look awesome. I just started using it 2 weeks ago. Sure keeps the water crystal clear. It’s supposed to help prevent parasites and aids in healing fish wounds. Good bacteria is not compromised. CZcams will give instructions on its proper usage. I added 10mls in my 130 tank at 10 ppm. Sorry, I don’t know how it affects snails. Supposed to prevent fungus on eggs. Would love to share video but not sure how to do that.
    Keep those awesome videos coming guys, oh, and I appreciate that you don’t use the word “like” when you speak to us. Like, you know like, what I mean. LOL đŸ€ŁđŸ€ŁđŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł

    Question about canister filters. The hoses should they be as short/straight as possible for maximum flow or does it not matter? I noticed on.m the whale you have slack in the hose kinda..Also I run 1 if each hob n canister would it make sense to run 1 to polish and the other for beneficial bacteria ? If so what 1 for what?? Heard a couple different answers on that for a few other great fish tubers. Thanks for any input.

    Hi John
have you tried the coop pre filter on those canisters
it’s a total game changer for the canister
it really helps the process the water and not treating the canister as a garbage can
it helps protect fish not getting cought and maintaining the canister
you don’t have to empty it out as often
I’ve had them on my canisters for years now
.I’ve gone over a year without cleaning them out
I go with the flow
good flow leave it alone..slow flow
just clean the pre filter
works AWESOME
makes for a really good seasoned canister
try them you won’t be disappointed 👍
I even use them on my HB’s
works AWESOME on those too 👍
