    Really glad to see it work out this time mate. I felt the hurt with the first one. I’ll admit, my head did start to go into a bit of a spin when you first showed what you were doing here, and yep.. I wouldn’t do it that way lol, but I’m not emotionally attached to my own regime . The main thing… it worked! and as you said it’s an “option”. You are helping beginners by giving them options and showing them what is possible. It’s a MASSIVE win for a new hobbyist to see this video, and duplicate what you’ve done with “chemicals” (I use most of the stuff you use), than to NOT use anything, or do it incorrectly, and kill their fish and not know why. If they are decent people it would crush them to kill their new fish, and that’s when people quit. So kudos for breaking it down. 👍

    I now have two sponge filters I run specifically for seeded bacteria and ready for quarantine tank as needed. However, I didn't have this when I started setting up my tanks. I did manage to buy an algae covered well-used piece of driftwood from my local Petco once, but that was about it. I'm thrilled you are showing people different ways of running your quarantine process when they are new and don't have a bunch of stuff to pick and pull from. Just be sure to test daily and run water changes as needed when you don't have all those friendly bacteria doing their jobs. Great process demo brother!! Thanks for all your help.

    Love what you’re doing to teach and show others not to give up. Diatoms kickin my butt at the moment. So jealous of the cichlids. Had a batch that lasted me almost 6 years. Raising the wife’s requested foo foo fish for now. Lol thanks for sharing.

    Kev I learn Sooo Much from you!! I would not be where I am in this hobby if it weren’t for YOU! Seriously I mean that! I’ve owned small fish. But when we were asked to take on 2 , 55 gallons tanks of African Cichlids I had NO IDEA what I was doing! And I lost Most of the fish due to Ammonia 😢But Now THANKS TO YOU I know what I’m doing and loving this hobby! So to all those haters out there…✌🏼 if you can’t stand someone teaching from their own experience and knowledge to help others in this hobby,
    GET A LIFE. We Stand with you kev and Support YOU 💯!! Congratulations on your success!!! LETS GOOOO🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

    Kev, I'm happy for you in getting your 2nd stingray in the 150 with no issues. Not only that I also learned some about what I've been doing wrong. I use RO water in both of my tanks and I didn't know that you had to add minerals back into the water that was taken out. I did some research and found out that Seachem has a product to deal with that, Replenish. Thanks for teaching me to have fish that not only survive but to thrive!

    I've found in the years of Fish Keeping that usually the best route is the easiest route taken. There is allot of bloat in the hobby that is strictly there to make a company money. You need a conditioner and bacteria along with a good filtration system. Then a good schedule to water change and filter clean. Its that easy, but sometimes you lose fish and in the hobby that's a given, you're going to lose fish! Kaveman shows you the best way he knows from experience and in my experience, experience is what matters most. Live and learn and try not to make the same mistakes. Great vid man!

    I love your tank and the variety of fish that you have chosen. I used to think that only planted tanks could be beautiful, but your combination of cichlids, clown loaches, arrowana and even a stingray is simply stunning.
    I still want to see you do a planted tank, though. I think you will make it beautiful.

  • @tommybunk2292
    @tommybunk2292 Před rokem

    Good deal Kev, I am extremely happy your new Stingray survived quarantine and you were able to prove your point at the same time. I'm not gonna lie...I would have put the new guy in the tank the first day especially with the information you were given by the Stingray experts, but, I'm not trying to prove a point. So two thumbs up for you 👍👍. You saved my ass when you put out the detoxifier video's in the past. Now you put your new bad ass Stingray's life on the line to prove detoxifiers work. Now you can gloat about being right like only a Marine can, God save me from all my Marine Family & Friends when they're right about something 😏👌

    • @KaveManAquatics
      @KaveManAquatics  Před rokem +1

      You know how we get when we’re proven correct!!! 🤣🤣🤣 For the record, any future stingrays will not go through this quarantine process, like you said, this one was to prove a point. But I’m fortunate enough to have space and seeded media to do it the fool proof way. Just wanted to show people this way was also possible! 😁

    I love the passion you devote to the hobby,I did the exact process of quarantine as you,it’s completely feasible. I noticed that you got high NO3 despite you have done water changing every week. The main reason is excessive filter media , the bacteria can’t get the nutrition through the water flow .

    • @KaveManAquatics
      @KaveManAquatics  Před rokem

      I think you mean excessive filter floss that gets clogged up…But I understand your point.

    • @JR-eh2bf
      @JR-eh2bf Před rokem

      @@KaveManAquatics I mean both floss and bio ring . Bacteria consume not only nitrogen but also carbon. For them, Nitrification is a less efficiency process. Bacteria can consume nitrogen in water directly without doing nitrification if flow is good.
