This is one of my best tanks. Running totally on autopilot. Please consider leaving a like if you liked the video - it helps me a lot. Thank you!

I am about to start building a blackwater tank and this video was perfect. Your tank is amazing. Thank you

I started my first aquarium as an adult and it ended up as a blackwater riparium, and it's almost maintenance free. I had brown algae, but copepods and detritus worms ate it all up.

Doing a similar setup as a turtle tank, so far tank is fully cycled, have been doing tests weekly (parameters all stable) and comfortable enough to move on to bi-weekly tests. Truly is a wonderful beginner set up, I struggled with aquariums and plants in the past, this however has been almost too easy as I am still expecting the tank to crash being 4 months in. Love your video, love your setup, keep giving good information and inspiration!

I think i will have a sleepless night tonight as I can't stop watching and learning from your videos. Thanks for keeping me awake 😂.

Great content!

Thanks!

How do you keep the sand so free from the decomposing organic material like the leaf litter

[tomcrossan]

Interesting video and most problems are fixed by going back to basics like lighting.

Love the video! Question, how often do you do water changes and how many percentage each time?

[fishismyhobbyofficial]

you've done an amazing job to your tank, absolutely beautiful

[markfranklin]

That's really good information 💯👍✌️ people really need to try a black water tank most people would love it.💯

I remember the original video. This turned out great! And it's so much better to hear you speak (but mic quality could be better :P)

[Quoxozist]

....you didn't mention how you set the substrate up - what did you use? just sand? what brand?

Thanks for sharing. New sub from Australia ️🇦🇺

Beautiful. I am, planning a tank with low maintenance but I was planning to build it on actual dirt and soil. Do you think the naturally occurring ammonia will be too much of an issue for algae? There will be UV lights and proper water change and filtration, only no "hands in water" for cleaning.

[CaitlinArgotsinger]

I am wondering if the light stays on all the time, is there an option to turn it off at night? I am so new....I will watch other videos

[deedeebe]

Hey i like your channel i have a quick question which filter are you using and does this tank have airbubbule suply ?

[dragonirl]

Beautiful tank. I'm also curious about the shelving unit it's on, do you remember the name of it?

[Spacey]

Beautiful. I wish I found your channel earlier. Was that a pine cone & oak leaves in the tank?

[LushSaltyAquariums]

The proof is in the pudding - this tank rocks!

[tonimoss]

Do you need that light? Like if you had it in indirect sunlight what would be diffrences?
