Yes, bro. I really love the shallow tanks. :)

Yes, buddy. It's all about finding what the planted tank speaks to you! 😊 Some really like to have colourful striking impression, some like to have a calming and relaxing one. It's the beauty of this hobby! ^_^

@@LitiAquaria Exactly. I do have Rotala and a Lily i thought died over a year ago. It popped up looking healthy. Both are sort of a tan color. The rest of the 240 are green slow growers over the last seven years, but they got there-lol.

Thanks, buddy. My usual light settings are at full power, with the Red-Green-Blue ratio around 100-70/80-80/90%. One great advantage of Chihiros lighting is its strong intensity. When setting up a new tank, I typically run the lights for only 6 hours per day initially. After the first 2-3 weeks, I gradually increase the duration by 15-minute increments each week until I reach a maximum of 8 hours per day. This helps plants adapt to environmental changes and minimizes algae outbreaks. That said, as you can see, algae took over my tank after I traveled for a week without water changes. Frequent water changes are crucial for newly established tanks. At the start, I also avoid adding fish because I want to blast CO2 into the tank for plant growth. For filamentous algae, manual removal works best-just keep removing it regularly. Hardscape algae can be wiped off using H2O2 or cleaned manually. Once the tank stabilizes, I usually introduce algae eaters like Amano shrimp, nerite snails, otocinclus catfish, and SAE, which are great helpers. Don't stress about algae in a new tank! When in doubt, a good water change can work wonders. Maintaining a consistent cleaning routine is key to keeping algae at bay. Keep on scaping!

@ thanks!!! I look forward to trying out more of your products. I have one more question if it’s okay. What fertilizer routine do you use

The liquid fertilizer dosing regime for my tank is very lean. I only dose sparingly once in a while. Having said that, the substrate is always rich in nutrients as I got base substrate / slow released ferts there. :)

Thanks so much! 😊

The fish is beautiful, Lorenzo. But it's quite challenging to keep them in a planted tank. :D

@@LitiAquaria I know it's very difficult but with the right plants it's not impossible 😉.

@@lorenzospina3174 Yes, bro. It's not impossible. I was very impressed with one of the discus planted tank from Mr Amano in the past. That's the inspiration! :)

That's Vallisneria nana 🥰

Many thanks, Lorenzo! Enjoy, bro! :)

Thank you for your feedback, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. I'll definitely take your points into consideration-especially about the music volume and text readability. Your suggestions will help me improve my future videos, as my goal is to make them enjoyable and inspiring for everyone who loves this hobby. Thanks again for watching, and I hope you'll stay tuned for more content! 😊 Best regards.

I wasn't trying to be over critical, I just want you to do well with your channel, as I think you have a talent, and who knows where that may lead to. 👍 Best wishes Simon.

Thanks Simon :)

I reused the substrate, it was about 3x9L bags I guess. Rocks may be about 15kg or more of lava rocks.

Thanks bro Clement! Happy New Year to you and your family! <3

Hello from Singapore! 😊 Thank you, buddy. Surely, I hope we can bring more fish shop tours to the channel 😁

Dragon rock is good and so much interesting patterns! I always admire those who can scape well with Seiryu rocks type ^^

I am glad to hear that. Thanks buddy. The shop is small but mighty and very cozy! :D

It really is! 😁 It's great that we shall have some bucket list of fish shops to go when we are traveling. 😊

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰

Yessss, indeed! :)

Many thanks, my friend! :)

Thanks Ryo! Yeah, let's work on the next contest tank! 😊

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I bet the fish always look the best in nature. 😊

Cảm ơn bạn nhé ^^

No worries, buddy. He was just hiding there. :D

I appreciate it! 😊

Thanks bro 🥰

Thanks buddy. Yes, during the contest, we used the lights provided by the organizer: WeekAqua M series. That's a really nice light with a rich colour rendering. During the time the tank setup at home, I changed from Chihiros WRGB2 Slim to Chihiros RGB Vivid 2 Mini. 😊

😊😍

Thanks, it's always a rewarding process! 😊

Oh noo... 😂 I will choose more soothing melodies next time. 😊

I agree! Small tanks can be so beautiful and fun to create! 😊🤗

It is interesting that you didn't get any algae even with direct sunlight! I'm sure you'll enjoy the pristine tank! Regular maintenance would surely help to keep the tank in a good clean condition. Congratulations on your achievement! 😊👍

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥳

Haha, yeah, I know right? Good eye! The algae covered it all over and I siphoned and removed it all out. 😆

Thanks buddy! ^^

Thank you very much!! <3

Thank you, brother! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! <3

Haha, thanks buddy! <3 Hope you enjoy the process! ^^

Thank you very much! ^^
