from people trying to correct you and saying you sound like Kermit, you've shown what a nice and humble guy you are.

Thanks for watching! As a disclaimer, I would like to mention that you should ALWAYS use a water conditioner such as AquaSafe when adding tap water to your aquarium. I am lucky enough to be in a location where our tap water is free from most harmful chemicals, but for most people that is not the case. Sorry for leaving this out of the video, and good luck with your aquarium at home!

thank you for your help. I am starting my own 10 gallon tank today and have many questions.
My dream is to eventually graduate to Saltwater tank.
first, I must startoff on smaller scale.
But still very these little guys are counting on us to do the right things.

Woah.. your video was so easy to watch and understand without hurting my brain! You made something most people would make very difficult looking to something that was a piece of cake! Thank you! I’m glad I clicked on your link big time!

I think it’s important to condition the water before adding the new water to the tank. Other than that, very helpful video!

Thank you for sharing your routine, I’m paranoid I’m going to cause my fish irreversible damage. It was reassuring to watch your video so that I know what to do when I clean my fish tank!

I found this video very helpful, better than some of the others out there. I just started a new aquarium last week, I'm doing my first water change for a 20 gallon so this is what I needed. I only have one betta in and one decoration so I shouldn't have very many problems lol. Thank you!

Just put my betta in its new 2.5 gallon tank yesterday after much time of waiting to buy a tank. I'm a new fish owner so I'm taking things step by step. This video really helped. Thank you

One of the best water change vids I have ever seen, and that is a beautiful tank....can def see the gravel "junk" getting taken up... Thanks for this video, you do an awesome job showing us how to do this!

[serendipitymoments]

Thank you for a clear and easy to understand tutorial. It will be my first time to use my siphon gadget to do water change in my 10 gallon fish tank, and you just answered the questions I have in my mind....thank you, my dear friend!

I got a goldfish three days ago. Thanks for this tutorial! I feel much more confident going into water changes :)

I bought my first 10 gallon tank. I’ve never taken care of fish but I am freaking out when it comes to cleaning the tank and the whole water change. I don’t want my glo fish to die!!

[BiohazardBunney]

Thank you for this video I'm new to fish keeping and I was clueless on how to clean the tank

[GrimAsEverAx]

Thank you! You made me feel a little better about using tap water in my fresh water tank. I was stressing that I need to use all these chemicals before using the water.

[ellanuman]

Thanks for making this fairly easy to understand, im currently doing my first water change and this video is definitely a huge help thanks!!

[raymondheath]

Thank you for the info. I recently became the owner of an orphaned tank and fish that was way overdue for cleaning. I am going to look for a tank syphon and a new filter to at least get me started

[krizzy]

Thanks for this. I just got a new tank and was wondering how I would change the water. This is great information. Really appreciate your time making this

[turbohall]

Thanks for the tank tips. I’m fairly new back to the aquarium world. Your info was very useful👍🏼

[mckenziekimball]

I would definitely add the water conditioner in the bucket of new water before you add it to the tank
