fish food for my friends arrives I was like to feed them first but the role
didn't even had some components with snails so we'll check out what's going
on in here and see what's happening with this bad boy over here oh man took a
little bit of a beating and it's my fault because I killed the lights too
long to kill the algae and I never really put them back on the baby tears
you can see almost non-existent still tiny little stubs though so we'll be
alright it will come back from there the crip didn't care about the dark darkness
but yeah you know you can see you can click the links around and see how this
tank was before with the baby tears full go nuts not dead so we'll come back so
I'm actually not too worried about it but overall like I wanted this whole
bottom to be SuperDuper carpeted and that simply is not the case but I mean
that's what you get when you leave the lights on when it's off leave like off I
want to show this this is how I run the lights right here so I only had them on
for like four hours I actually had them on for two so things happen let's feed
them I'm feeding this stuff my friends of Rods foods fresh water small mouthful
and rod stone for his saltwater foods but he's doing a nice job with the fresh
and these guys don't get fed this that often I actually ran out of the food
that I had here you can see they've been beefed up so this is going to be their
big their big feast before I do a big water change so I'm gonna give them a
nice hunk here and these guys will get a nice
nice bit the frame there
see him housing it down
and I'm over feeding this overstock tank
but they don't care got a little algae on there that's fine so be it plant load
is too light which is why we have some algae that's my fault because I didn't
put enough easy growing plants in here
there's the chosen one he's actually got the lyretail on him
you can see him get a close-up of him I want people to see that fish cuz that
fish has a that's a cool he has a cool pattern that corn brighter orange guy
right there he's gonna have real nice long fins on him this is a chosen one
look at that monster Amano down there get that guy off film
I'm gonna leave this stuff here so I can come back and feel another time that a
mono shrimp yeah I think the horse
all right I called no maintenance tank but I always have to do a little bit of
maintenance on the bad boy so I'm gonna do a little you know less than five
gallons probably two of them I don't have the big siphon Louie but when in
doubt you know we'll do your water changes so that's what I'm gonna do here
how fast can dusty suck let's see Oh nails it
all right so I'm going to leave the weight on here just cuz I'm not here and
I don't know how good I'm gonna be able to get it down in there shove this down
in there try to get it down to the dirt layer and I'm just going for a big bushy
plant in this corner and I haven't been able to really keep in this corner and
now we're gonna do one more bucket of water
follow me
does fish
turn it up
one more
so I want to point out that the fx4 is still working last time I came in here
wasn't working obviously it's on so that got me in trouble because it was off for
a week so fx4 still pumping and still cranking I mean it's the perfect size
filter for this tank when it's on so now I want to show what I'm thinking here
alright so what do we know well we know that this tank right here got abused
with the baby tears however the baby tears is not gone it's just kind of
partially set back so we can come back and get it now look it doesn't look as
full as the one in the b-26 obviously the b-26 has way better light gets way
more attention it's a halide over it this was getting 2 hours of daylight so
we're not going to really concern ourselves with why it happened because
we know what happened there wasn't enough light coming down on this tank my
goal was to make it a carpet of baby tears like the b-26 however the it's
just not the same tank not the same substrate so we're running with just a
little bit of dirt underneath some large grade gravel that has bright well
substrate in it and a halide so there's two different animals there also like I
said this is only running this was only running for like two hours a day
something like that so it wasn't getting the full effect of like a lot a lot of
light well originally the light was on too long so I cut the light back too
much killed off a little bit of plants but you all know the plants are
resilient so these will come back so I've upped the light for a little bit on
here and I added a little bit of plants we're gonna keep lying on the feet and
we're gonna just keep an eye on this baby tears so my morning runs I got to
start coming in here more often and check out the baby tears make sure it's
growing back so that is where we are headed with this tank you'll note the
booster Flandre is looking real good check and get a close-up of this right
here the booster Flandre is just fine however looking really good absolutely
love that plan go all the way up that plant you can see how it's just stayed
on there and done well I also did add a little bit of willow moss if you follow
this tree up you'll see the moss on the back that has a little bit of willow
look to it that willow moss is fine I just kind of threw some random stuff in
here because I knew grow so overall that home Agnes tank is
doing all right as they do a water change on the no maintenance tank and
yes I declared this
one bucket short one more
you
and there is an update on the no maintenance tank yeah I do a little
maintenance on the novenas tank you got it there's no such thing as no Maenads
tank you've got to do the water changes on the tank particularly if you've left
them alone for a long while do me a favor if you like what I'm doing it to
subscribe and the notification buttons somewhere around here and then click the
links around here I got a playlist as well of like all the videos of this hope
you enjoyed the little longer version edits of how the evolution of this tank
has come coincidentally I always wear this outfit when working on this
aquarium because it's a no maintenance tanking this is my favorite often one of
my favorite tanks if you like what I'm doing subscribe make it a fabulous
