  • Everyone wants crystal clear aquarium water, but it can be so elusive! Follow these five tips to get your aquarium water crystal clear, and you will be on your way to having your tropical fish look like they're floating in air. While this works for African cichlids and American cichlids, it is also great for other fish combinations, like community tanks and other cichlid tanks. Thanks for watching, and please give this video a "like" if you've enjoyed it.
    Cichlid Charmer is dedicated to sharing the joy of keeping African cichlids and American cichlids and sharing information about them. Much of my content is not cichlid fish specific, however. It also pertains to all tropical fish aquariums. I will share what I have learned about cichlids and other fish, and everyone is welcomed to comment with their own experiences and information about fish and aquarium practices in general.

    THANK YOU! Over time I was becoming increasingly more anxious about cleaning the filter in my 100 gallon tank. I would have small drips and leaks but they would eventually stop. Not this time! I never knew I needed to maintain and change the O Rings. Now I have some leaks and am on the emergency hunt for these guys. I will change them with confidence after this video. Your tank looks fantastic!

    Love your videos! Where did you get your deco in your tank, not the rocks. Looks like rusty old pipes with holes.

    Pleco are my friend they clean glass better than anything, but they are invasive so you need to take care of them.. Don't throw them in the wild.
    You can use newspapers or any paper like that to clean the inside too.

    • @martykorn1424
      @martykorn1424 Před 2 měsíci

      Plecos are a net loss. They pollute FAR more than they clean.
      No animal can eat more than it wastes. Same reason perpetuation is impossible.

    You use only one fluval plant 3.0 light for a 8ft aquarium?

    • @CichlidCharmer
      @CichlidCharmer  Před rokem +2

      Not just one, and it actually isn't the planted version. Here's a link to my full setups in detail: czcams.com/video/jtvJyQXKTNU/video.html. Thank you for watching and commenting!

  • @haiLe-xj7nc

    what light are you using. and are you adding any else than seachem prime during water change?

    • @CichlidCharmer
      @CichlidCharmer  Před 8 měsíci +1

      I have two Fluval Sea Marine 3.0 strip lights on Alcatraz. I only dose with Seachem Safe on this tank during a water change.

    Are these glass or acrylic tanks? What's the best visual and quality tank to purchase?

    • @CichlidCharmer
      @CichlidCharmer  Před 11 měsíci +2

      These are acrylic which is as clear as it gets. If you get a high end glass aquarium with low iron, they are very clear as well. Acrylic will scratch very easily and glass will not. It can shatter though, whereas acrylic doesn’t.
