    @twiggerhappy Yup, using a 20lb pressure tank with a glass defuser, Why 20lbs? because it cost only 1 dollar more to fill then a 10 pounder.?

    @drownigpoolfan1997 Hey thanks for watching my video. I do not vacume the gravel in the planted tanks. The plants use the waste as food. After the tank was set up for a couple of years I changed the layout of the plants and then I vacumed? up the debree from the surface of the gravel. Keep some cory cats or other bottom feeders and you’ll be good to go. Let the plants do the work and you’ll both be happy.

    Thank You. Clown Loaches like to dig to create hiding places. Give them some pvc pipes to hide in and it will cut back a lot of the digging.
    I do a 40% water change every two weeks. I? have well water, but use a spectra pure r/o filter. I use equiliberum (SP) by sea chem to add nutriants and also TRACE. I tend to stay with the sea chem line of products and not mix brands.

  15. partyonman1959 says:

    Not much to cleaning other than the filter and the glass. Plants do? an excellent job of using the fish waste and a couple of bottom feeders do the rest. Mostly water changes every couple of weeks. about 40%

    Great, I’ve learned a lot from youtube posted videos and figured I’d spread the wealth and share what I? know.

  17. partyonman1959 says:

    Thanks. It took a couple? of years collecting all the gear to make this tank .

    Oscars are more like a pet than a hobby. They have personality and also show agression and will move one side of your tank to the other so you can forget about plants and rocks and? pebbles and sand and ornaments and airstones and thermometeres and so forth and so on!!

    @jaffarfan123 Magnetic glass cleaner. for the gravel……a shit load of work i bet. i would just keep a ton of bottom? feeders like that crawfish and hope for the best.

  22. logicalthinker101 says:

    @ssd88130 The oscars dont tend to eat the plans so much as they like to dig them up and cause them to die. i have a small cichlid tank but have talked to alot of cichlid owners and the only thing i can tell you is oscars will be trouble? and others may or may not…… I plan on making an attempt at plants soon. i have planted about 6 bulbs and will be buying a few plants just to try it. my oscar is still small but the fake plants are doing ok so far.

    if? you do it right you almost have to do nothing, a real good biosystem cleanes itself. of course some day you have to trim back the plant or the fish have no room D:

  24. jaffarfan123 says:

    how da hell are you gunna clean? that?

  25. ssd88130 says:
