Knowledge should be shared, not isolated by money
Agreed
Hey Kev, you gave me advice 2 weeks ago on the high nitrite in my tank. I stopped doing water changes for a week like you said and we're now cycled. Cheers Bruv
LETS GOOO!! 😁💪
👍Watched your 450 tank with a stubborn Bacterial Bloom clear up after a few week's. Your spot on Kev. Your advice of leaving it alone and being patient is has worked for me when my tank had a B Bloom. Appreciate you Kev! ❤😊
Appreciate you Lori! 😊💪
@@KaveManAquatics ❤️❤️❤️❣️
Its a small video , but sooo info filled that… really helps
Thanks bro, glad you found it helpful!
100% agree… i also change 80% water every week
@@naveedyousuf662 - i did an 80% water change and all my fish died
Good advice! Thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
A month ago i had the brown algae bloom going. All the glass was covered in brown growth. After i was able to get rid of the brown algae, i then had a bloom right after. I thought it was a bacterial bloom cause my water was murky. I did water changes, cleaning the gravel, and even chemicals* but then i noticed the water was slightly yellow/green. So i tried some algae fix once. After one day, my tank cleared right up. It was floating algae? But anyways, my aquarium is still clear. 🎉 love watching your vids, keep it up Kaveman!
Yes my 75 gallon cichlid tank that's great my Fish are big and their healthy giraffe cichlid that's bigger than what it should be I knew 75% water change every time my water stays great
Nice!! 😁💪
Hallo Kev Just seen your email and looking at your video, thank you think I understand now. Was also told only 25 % water change and no more. Is the 80% for a few fish as well?
Is okay to do large water volume change is not bad , but try an do 50% water change so the fishes can adjust to it and then you can do a larger water
80% can be done in any tank but you'll want to gradually work your way up to that. Some tanks don't need to do 80% either and can do just fine with smaller water changes. I highly suggest you check out my playlist for beginners. It'll be very helpful for you 😁 - czcams.com/play/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er.html
Last time I’ve seen a bloom was in my old 55 and that’s when I was cycling it other than that I’ve never seen one in my 90 I have 2 canisters and a hob but I never clean them all on the same day maybe one canister and the hob but never all 3 and I do 80% water changes weekly with no issues
Nice!! 😁💪
I truly appreciate ur knowledge and willingness to share it with us all. I've learned so much already from you Kev
Always my pleasure! I appreciate your support through the membership bro, thank you! 😊
Terracotta pot in aquarium can be a best solution for beneficial bacteria ?
Thank you bro , fugue filtration and oxygenation is a key
I do a 80% water change every week to cuz I have a big bio load in my tank so I have to keep it maintained
I’ve never have had a bacterial bloom from doing a 80% water change been doing it this way for 9 months
Excellent! 😁💪
I set up a 10 gal tank for neons, let it just run for about a month with no fish and it was crystal clear. Then I added 6 neons, a catfish and an algae eater and for about a week or so it remained crystal clear, even with the feedings. But, I thought I'd add some small live plants and it got so cloudy, it looked like milk. So I took the plants out. Even with three more water changes (about two gals once a week), it's still cloudy but getting better. How did it go from crystal clear, added live plants, and it turned to milky cloudy? Every time I try plants, something goes wrong even in my 36 gal.
It’s not the plants. The bio-load from the fish caught up to the tank. It’s very normal to go from clear to cloudy in a new tank that isn’t established. Checkout the first few videos at kavemanaquatics.com that discuss in detail what’s going on in your tank.
So if my new tank gets cloudy, i should wait for a little to see if it will clear on its own, or do i still do water changes every week?
Took my tank almost 3 months to become established.
Some can take a year! 💪
@@KaveManAquaticsis there a way to make my tank establishes faster?
...hence the use of Stability.
Out of nowhere I got a bloom. I bought a ultra violet light and it was gone in 2 days. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing to do. But for now it’s working.
R u the great muldamann of the moonlight shadow???
Why is my water get cloudy after a water change? I have 2XFX6 filters, and I put prime as dress code. I feed my fish is every other day help me out.
Either your tank hasn’t fully established itself yet, or your source water contains high levels of dissolved solids feeding the bloom.
Just want to add that sometimes when you have really high TDS, for example here in Colorado my tap water is off the chart (>500 GH). larger water changes add a ton of extra minerals to the tank and can cause a Bloom. It usually will calm down after about twenty-four hours.
Surprisingly it obly happens in my smaller tanks. The 10s and 20 long. My large 125 never seems to experience this. Could it be a issue smaller tanks would encounter because there's less surface area for all that bacteria so it has to be in the water when it reproduces instead of on a surface?
Thats a great point. The dissolved solids in your tap are exactly the reason for your blooms. But in a well established tank a very short bloom (24 hours or less) is normal because of your TDS levels. But your beneficial bacteria will win that battle. 💪 And yes, smaller tanks, smaller bio-load, less bacteria to combat that high TDS.
I do 80% water changes weekly. No bloom either.
Nice! 😁💪
2 days ago i did an 80% water change and all my fish died in just less than an hour
Sorry to hear that. Did you match the temp? Did you add water conditioner? Did you match the PH? The 80% water change didn’t kill them, it was some variable that was missed.
Hey Kev is there a way I can show you my tank so maybe you can give me some advice about placement of certain things, everything is ok but I know I could do things a little better it would be a big help and much appreciated if u could!!!!
Post in my facebook group! Hopefully I catch the post but if not there are many there that are very knowledgeable and helpful. facebook.com/groups/kavemanaquatics
@@KaveManAquatics ok once I get home I’ll do a quick vid and post it there
Hey quick question kev, Ive been watching your videos on water changes, what is your recommended strategy on matching the temperature of your water when doing a water change?
I mix the hot and cold at the sink to warm the water before sending it to the tank. +/- 5 degrees is usually fine when water changing but I wouldnt fill with just straight cold if you're changing 25% or more...
@@KaveManAquatics oh okay cool! Getting it within 5 degree is easy enough. I was like dang matching the same temperature my man got some high tech gear lol thank you bro!
Hey bro what works for u may not work for another person but u always follow the rules by the books...
I say this all the time. That statement also works with “what doesn’t work for you…”
@@KaveManAquatics FACTS dey
so if im in the middle of a bacterial bloom should i NOT do any water changes until it resolves?
Correct, This video will be helpful - czcams.com/video/46fcHvoellI/video.html
I cleared the bacterial bloom in a new set up of my 5g tank in just 24hrs by adding paramecium to feed on the excess bacteria bloom.
Never heard of that…will look into it
@@KaveManAquatics It was an experiment I tried and it seemed to have worked for me as the water was crystal clear the next day. Maybe other hobbyists can also experiment and see if it clears their bacterial blooms or not, and if it works it will be a new and quicker way to solve the problem.
Hey Kev, you look colourful today man are you sure you not taking any of those fish food supplements 😂 I mean this as a compliment btw man 🙏🏻
🤣🤣 I wish I could take a supplement that did that 🤣🤣
Brother my Arrowana tank is getting bacterial bloom again and and one bloom goes another bloom starts . I am keeping this thank for more than 1 year but now also it's happening bloom pls help brother .. love from India 🇮🇳
Look for trapped uneatin food cause ammonia spikes...This video will be helpful - czcams.com/video/46fcHvoellI/video.html
@@KaveManAquatics bro I have bare bottom tank there is no uneaten food left
