This is one of the best beginner-friendly explanations of the nitrogen cycle. The most crucial part that I just didn’t get at first is that the cycle is constant and doesn’t just happen when you first set up a tank. I think the visual graphics and animations really helped, especially for someone like me who’s a visual learner.

Since discovering YouTube fish videos many years ago I have watched lots of videos on the nitrogen cycle. Your video is one of the best. I find people either over complicate the subject or they treat the viewer like they are completely stupid. Thank you for making a video that will actually help a new fish keeper.

Thank you Matt. Now I know why I kept failing with problems constantly. First not enough water change and then too much cleaning. I never had it explained in a way so easy and simple to understand as you just did. I had a pile of aquarium books I just ended up giving away, because they weren't helping. Maybe you should write fishbooks as well :D

You have explained this in the simplest manner which makes more sense. I’m new to this hobby and this was perfect.

I'd very much like to see a video going over which aquarium gadgets are worth getting in your opinion as an ex store manager - is a digital pH probe and nutrient checkers vs the strips, electrical thermometers vs glass, etc etc. It's always nice to see the impressions of peoples that sell/have sold these things.

I was an over-cleaner when I started. You’re such a great teacher. This is so perfect for newbies. ❤❤❤

I had to make myself stop over cleaning my aquariums. I thought I was being the best fishkeeper, and didn't understand why I was getting bacteria blooms. Now I know some things do need cleaning, but I try to never do everything all at once, and I've learned to appreciate all that life in there is important.

Probably one of the best Fish Shop Matt vids so far! Knowledge spraying all over the place 😁. Great watch even though I'm well accusotmed with the nitrogen cycle you can't beat an expert going through it. And the expertise shows Matt!

Matt thank you for the beginner video! I haven't started my own aquascaping journey (yet!!) but your channel has inspired me so much!

Wow. Thank you. Perfect timing for me. My mature aquarium has seen increasing nitrate—to my surprise—and I’d assumed the plants and great filter would take care of it. The fish load has gradually increased because of fry born in the tank maturing. I thought water changes/filtration/heavy planting would handle it. Now I know better. Thanks again for this super explanation, Matt 🙏🙌👏

I've seen a few videos about the topic and somehow still don't fully understand. After watching this video now it makes perfect sense because you didn't just talk about the topic but you also mentioned not fully cleaning the tank itself keeps the bacteria alive in order to help you. Thanks Matt

I'd have to say this may be the best explained and engaging video about the nitrogen cycle I've seen. And that's hard to do lol - well done.

Everybody who wants to get, or already has a tank needs to watch this. Really well put Matt, you make things so much easier to understand and everyone understands it better in laymans terms and by example.

Im looking forward to seeing the jellyfish setup that we got a teaser for in the shell dweller video.

Best and easiest explanation I’ve seen so far! I’ll be showing this to my boys (18 & 22). Pretty sure my explanation scared them away and just confused them 😅😂
