Time is a tool, not an obstacle. Love this video for that.
Brilliantly useful and great engaging delivery a pleasure to watch – thanks
I want to broadly try this method but I also want to sanitize my plants as I don’t trust the stores near me. Should I add bacteria if I do this or will there be enough bacteria just from the water and other sources?
Wait, DONT impulse buy?!
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been watching videos a reading articles about fish for a year. I’ve bought some supplies. But I’ve been too scared to set anything up. Your breakdown makes it less intimidating.
Do you still promote AquaHuna? I noticed your discount code no longer works on their website. Thoughts?
I have some rams horn snails and they ate all my redroot floaters. And I don't think they were dying. some leaves were melting but then tank got over populated with snails and they were eating the floaters until I have no more now.
If my plants melt, should I just leave it in there? Would that cause my other plants to melt too?
Such a good video, appreciate you Cory
I’ve had aquariums for 20 years and I am currently waiting for the tank I set up on January 2nd to become established. I sometimes doubt that the plants are actually growing or taking root at all, stuff like that. I have my second species of fish in quarantine atm. The first has been in the tank for six weeks. Amano shrimp moved in in the first two weeks. I used a filter that was already well established though. The title of your video made me expect you to promise some kind of magic trick, because my seasoned aquariums are years old. I think I just interpreted the word differently. Like a seasoned warrior kind of deal… not seasoned like a prepared meal. 😂 glad to hear that I haven’t been doing any egregiously bad things. Well explained too!
I had a new tank my fish was dying i put it in an old tank and fish came back to life
I watched your video several times. I am finally on day 2. 😊
I just got back in to fish keeping after a one or two year break and this video was a great refresher! I love Aquarium Co-Op and I was really happy to see my LFS now has one of your guys’ displays (shoutout to the Ocean Floor in Phoenix, AZ). Thanks a lot Cory!!!
Thank you for all the useful information. I had a question. Would you know why some of my fish die at night, during the day look healthy, behave normal and eat. But I noticed that some die overnight
How about if I wanna add amino shrimp?
Great video thank you!
I am following this video for a 5g planted betta tank I started last week. Still picking out plants if anyone has suggestions. I have some red root floaters and 1 anubias nana petite in there right now.
Thanks for this one. I set up my first tank with a nice aquascape and plants a couple weeks ago and I’m trying so hard to fight the urge to just fill it now.
Your comments on a dirty vs clean tank should be a plaque on the wall of every fish room 😀👍🏻
Why do we need to add fertilizer at the beginning? Doesn't aqua soil already contain the necessary nutrients? 🤔
Do you put medicines into the aquarium before you put fish in as a preventative measure? Thanks for the video, exactly what i was looking for!
Any chance that 6.5 gallon tank is going to be for sale on the website?
