Spider wood slime and melting plants, that was a really great experience for you to share! I just set up a cube tank (MJ inspired!) and had that happen but didnât really put the two together, thanks for your humble presentations and not hiding your findings! Always interesting..
I couldnt even get a free dog food sample recently - you get a whole tank and stand!
Looks amazing. Crazy how technological aquariums have become - i remember the days of going and buying a tube light, and when a plug timer was an amazing invention that turned the lights on and off at set times!
My main aquarium has increasingly looked like a life support system in a hospital, cable after cable, I keep thinking there must be a simpler way to effectively keep plants healthy, the fish are the easy bit!
Love the new fish â€
Thanks for update MJ. Tank looks beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your struggles and how you solved them, I know you do this on other projects but really encouraging to see this kind of honesty :)
You have so much good information, I've been sharing your videos with someone about to set up her first planted tank. It's good to know about all the little problems and how to solve them. Your tank is looking great.
That light is absolutely gorgeous! Cant wait to see the tank all grown in. You are killing it brother! âđ
That's looking great already MJ! Really love that you've opted for these 'unpopular' but highly interesting cichlids :).
Iâve had my scraper line 90 for about 4 months. Itâs my dream setup and I couldnât be happier!
Beautiful scape Iâm loving the new light and the colours itâs nice to have something close to nature and I think this is perfect nice job
Very good observations as always, big!
Love the light, I would love to see purple incorporated into the sunrise and sunset. I'm a beginner but get a lot of inspiration from your videos.
Love the new light, it looks much better than the larger one above the tank. Cool set up.
Youâre an inspiration man!
Another amazing video! Great content. đđŒ
Nice change from the big shallow. All the best on this new setup đ
Cant wait for a second update, very nice tank! One of my favorites
Awesome work
Cool tank and very cool light!
Nice work, like the new skylight also đ
Now that is a very nice setup mark,love the lights!!!...I'm very excited to see how your butterfly cichlids work out,as I'm in a similar situation as yourself with that!đâïž
I started up an iwagumi around the same time you started this one up. Itâs cool to follow along and go through the same phases yours is going through đ
Tanks looking good. Iâm going threw the whole spider wood slime currently but at the end of it.
APT fertilization is good. Thnaks for sharing us tour inspiration and your experience.
Truly amazing
Looking amazing! Love the cichlids as well.
I wasn't expecting actual bugs in the tank, though. đ
As far as my Dennerle 55l goes: I've had it cycling for weeks now, removed some white fluffy stuff from the wood and added some plants. Some algae here and there, but most plants are growing (Crypt. wendtii "green" seems to have some issues). I am seriously considering RO-water though, since the hardness of my tapwater may be a bit too much.
Looking forward to the development of this tank and the other two you got recently! đ
Light settings remind me of Fluval Planted 3.0. User can go crazy to do different light combo between different time points.
Love your 90P!
Very nice tank
Nice one
Love the new layout and scape mate! Yeah that biofilm is annoying! When I got it with my first scape my ottos took care of it in a couple weeks! Very nice light! Canât wait to see this fully grow in! Hope all is well mate!
Big step up from big shallow. Looking great. Love the light but I am shocked at how much they cost!
Finally someone on CZcams got dwarf butterfly cichlids I always order them đđ»they are beautiful and hardy fish, awesome MJ.
Maybe I am weird but I loved the little 'seed' crustaceans (new to me, despite over 50 years in the hobby) and your new cichlids, lets hope the latter breed and for a few weeks 'terrorise' all the other fish as dutiful parents, small cichlids breeding in a community tank are like sticklebacks from childhood, simply fascinating, but sadly cichlid males don't built an intricately woven tunnel/little nest. The plant melting is disappointing, the ammonia spike is power for the course with that type of substrate. Cool light but the programming would slowly drive me drink - though for a bedroom sunrise and sunset would be nice - though of course in the tropics the dawn and dusk is much much quicker.
Thanks Mark as always, really like this setup and the fish.
The Aquarium looks gr8 MJ. The lighting looks like it provides good color rendition,I find the power lead hanging diagonally down a bit detracting though. It would drive me crazy being a bit OCD. Thanks once again for ur great content.
awesome video once again!
are you using ur light on 100% intensity for 8h? & whatâs the distance between water level and light?
I've had the butterfly cichlid for a couple of months now, and they look so different from when i first got them mint little fish
Its looks great đ, one day i need to redo my big tank, dont worry to much about seed shrimp they also help with algae and the fish have been eating them but there are alot of them.
I feel like rasbora in my experience have been the best at eating things like detritus and copapods/seed shrimp. I had an explosion of detritus worms and added some juvenile rasbora, they were mostly gone within a day or two except for the ones they remained in the substrate which is good.
I just ordered a trio of butterfly cichlids after watching this video! they're going in a planted tank with pygmy cories, drapefin barbs, a red lizard catfish and a pair of rhino horn gobies!
Awesome đ
Looks great!! Quick question that I canât find the answer to, how do you heat your tanks? Love watching you always gives me inspiration!
Oase 850 thermo
Looking for a smaller option is there one?
The filtosmart can be thermo and there is the 350 and 600 too.
â@@braden6288 and the filtosmart thermo 100. Use it on my 12 gallon. works well enough.
Hi, my experience is that this is substrate thing. I just make set up with and without dark start and with dark start is the same issue. Last set up is now 6 months old and still my flowers are melted especially Ludwigia super red and repens too. Thanks for your great vidos.
Wish I'd heard about the spider wood slime already in November. Had a ton of it in a new scape and it basically in no time destroyed the whole scape... Was a bit of a harrowing experience. Next time I use the wood I'll definitely pre-soak it for a good long time...
The scapersline 90 is looking good! I wish they would do a scapersline 120 and be easier to get in the USA.
nice tank..
what type of light you using here 6:33 ..is it custom made or ..?
ah i see skylight hyperspot L.. you said lil later?
beautiful light
how long these lights lasts? can you change individual faulty light?
Hi, great material, thanks, but I have a question not about today's aquarium, but about the bookcase that is on the left side of it, where did you buy it, because it looks beautiful, and I think it would suit my bedroom?
Tank looks Great â€â€.. dont wrry on seed shrimps . I had them as well, they will b eaten by gourami pair.. my gourami literally decimated them
When are you doing a contest tank?
Hey Mark, fantastic looking aquarium. I'm kind of trying to follow your advice at my first attempt at aquascaping. 75 gallons. I don't have any funds, and I'm following the Father Fish method which is to try and make it as natural as possible, so soil, topped with 3" of sand, lots of plants and no really no water changes. I don't have very many plants yet, just some java ferns I attached to the wood and monte carlo in the front. I plan on adding a variety of stem plants in the back. I just put in some white cloud minnows because the plants need the nitrates from the fish to grow well. I seeded old filter media so the beneficial bacteria is already in the aquarium. I had one zebra danio fish fry after rehoming all the parents, they had laid one egg in my shrimp tank the 2 days they were in there, so I put that in with the white cloud minnows and it's the first time it's ever been with other fish.
Sorry I'm really longwinded. All this to say, I'm trying to blend your incredible artistic style with my own design (limited by no money) with Father Fish's method of a really natural ecosystem. I made a short video (really bad at videos and have bronchitis so my voice is bad too, sorry in advanced), and if you find a few moments I'd love your input on the layout of my hardscape. czcams.com/video/fZfQ5nwfRN0/video.html.
It's a work in progress. I have had water in the tank for about 5 days now, so really not a mature tank yet.
LFG!!!
Nice dude, setting up my new 120 tank with the hyperspot FL. So hyped for this light, its so nice.
Love this new aquarium more than the big shallow, feels like more your style. Also nice to see the butterfly cichlids, such a cool species.
Nice tank MJ
What background is that?
Just simple frosted window film đ
Wish I had seed shrimp infestation in my tanks I would be thrilled. Wish I could get two of those L lights for my tank but I live in California đą
I said that you should have heat soaked the wood.
You tank is looking nice now but that slime mould probably could been avoided.
All you need to do to avoid slime mould and tannings on wood is pre-soak it in a hot bath. I did this for all the dragon wood in my 90cm tank and previously for other bog wood scapes. I just weighed the wood down and poured the hottest water I could get from the tap over the wood until the water level was above the wood and left it to soak for a day. Every couple of hours or so I would drain the old water and refill with clean, piping hot water until the tannings were gone. This method not only removes tannings which would otherwise take much longer in the cooler aquarium water but it also conditions the wood by removing dirt and unseen bacteria which might cause other issues during the set up phase in a new tank. If you can make the hardscape's effect on the water parameters and plants as neutral as possible it can only be a good thing especially during the start up cycling phase.
Three weeks in and my 90cm dragon wood, Tropica soil set up is looking good. Dwarf hairgrass carpet looking green and lush no melts so far and no tannings. Just had a diatom couple of days but after scrubbing the wood and rock with a wire brush it doesn't seem to have come back. So far so good and very little drama. So glad I heat soaked the wood.
So how did you get the bugs out? Nice lights, gonna get the FM also for my 90p setup. Costs quite a bit, but its really unique and the looks super sleek.
The fish ate them ;) Yeah I'm really pleased with the Hyperspot FM! You are gonna love it!
Add your pea puffer fish on your aquarium bro and it will get rid of all of those bugs...
You might have mentioned this, so my apologies if thatâs the case. But are you using only tap water or do you mix with RO water in this setup? And what are your water parameters? Thanks
Hoi MJ ziet er weer goed uit. Heb jij verlichting op 100% staan ik kom zelf niet boven de 50% ander meteen alg.
Deze nieuwe lamp staat inderdaad op 100%
We would love to see another comprassion test with tanks side by side. They are great especially with a fact those videos are not sponsored and we can see what works or not.
What kind of test would you like to see? :)
@@MJAquascaping Don't know. You could make query on youtube and see which one peopole would like to see.
For example how to kill algae with algae removers and see comprassion between them. Or easy carbo vs co2
where can i get the seed shrimps ?
Met welke houtsoort heb je geen problemen met slijm en andere ongemakken
What is the watts of lights of new 1
Hi
I use my BABY apistogramma to clean up tanks with seed shrimp infestations. The adults are not interested, baby bettas also do the trick, anything growing needs protein and will go after moving things more often. (Ps. This is just what Iâve observed from the fry Iâve cultivated my self)
How is my planted aquaria?
My challenge is the Amazon ian soil is a bit powdery so the black dust kind of settles on top of the plant leaves and wood and it just looks dull and dirty. I tried cleaning it twice but every time something moves the dust just rises up and settles. Currently no gravel on top or sand. Any help?
what do you think about the new version of skylight does it make sense to replace the first generation lamp with a new one I will feel the difference
If you are still happy with the first generation there's no need to upgrade
How many fish did you get for that 90cm tank?
What do you say st 0:08 ? I keep hearing "hows your grandma's setup"
hyperspot fl is better than chihiros wrgb pro????
It's looking very good.need little bit more time and will be like honey đŻI like yours all video's.
đđđđđ
What is the back light brand ?
I'm just using self adhesive frosted window film :) no back light.
I have a doubt how do u stop the algae growth by the way new to the hobby
Loads of algae videos on my channel đ
What do you think of the dimension of the scaperline 100?
Yeah I like the dimensions đđ» Have you seen the Scaperline 100 video I did a few weeks ago?
@@MJAquascaping No I havenât watched it. Will have a look at it now. I havenât come across the 100 in a shop yet just wanted to check if it worth getting that or to go for a standard size like a 120cm.
I had dwarf cichlids, but they exterminated my shrimp and crayfish, so I have chosen not to have dwarf cichlids
Also what type of cichlids are those?!? I didnât catch it, I donât think you said.
Anomalochromis thomasi (African Butterfly Cichlid)
Plant melt is a strange thing sometiimes.
It's completely luck I've found.
GET AQUATIC ISOPODS
Goede morgen :). Whatâs the scientific name of the cichlids? Cheers
Anomalochromis thomasi (African Butterfly Cichlid)
@@MJAquascaping Bedankt MJ. found them at local store in Japan :)
Hoi MJ! Ik had een vraag (of eigenlijk 2): hoeveel Honing Gourami's heb jij in die bak? Ikzelf heb er eentje in een vergelijkbare bak. Ik wilde er eigenlijk meer, maar ik las dat twee mannetjes samen knokken wordt en vrouwtjes zijn niet zo mooi als de mannetjes. Ook wilde ik graag weten hoe die dwerg cichliden die je daar hebt rondzwemmen heten (latijnse naam of Nederlandse naam aub)? Bedankt!
Hey John! Ik heb 1 koppel... ik las het inderdaad ook over meerdere mannetjes. De cichliden heten Anomalochromis thomasi (African Butterfly Cichlid)
