what's up fish tank people Dustin's fishtanks bring it to you with my top
five ways we try to harden our clams and screw it up my number five in my top 5
ways we tried hard and fail with our clams I want to talk about my 90 gallon
reef aquarium and just getting oddball sizes look any of us who have kept
plants fish tanks whatever I've always had that one aquarium they were like oh
we're gonna try this one on it's gonna be sweet and it's not my example this 90
gallon reef tank I should never been getting into reefs in the first place it
was way too tall for too weak a light that I had to penetrate the bottom
corals never look good things never did well I actually tore the tank down same
could be said for those of you who are like I'm gonna get this hex aquarium
look I'm not saying it's not possible but nobody's ever had a hex they really
love but number five trying too hard getting that odd sized tank and try to
make it look cool just give the square boxes
why number four way of tracking our screw something up in your aquarium I
want to talk about you substrate that's right folks talking about your substrate
look you're like oh I know this guy Dustin he puts dirt in his aquarium he
puts one into dirt but I know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna try extra hard I'm
gonna use two inches of dirt what happens you use two inches of dirt and
once your gravel on top you can anaerobic conditions because you're
trying too hard you think you're gonna supercharge your tank as dirts good for
your aquarium why not use twice as much dirt you only use one inch of dirt not
to use two inches you're trying too hard on the same vain of trying too hard with
your substrate you're like I'm gonna use dirt in my tank I'm only going to use
one inch and I'm gonna cap it with eco complete guess what eco ain't complete
is not made to be put over dirt it's made to go by itself you put equal
complete on top of dirt you will suffocate your substrate and you'll get
anaerobic conditions ask me how I know this my number four trying too hard with
your substrate layer and screwing up your tank ask me how I know about these
I've been there I've done it my number three trying to harden your equipment
screwing stuff up we've all been there I did it I'm admitted back in like 2006
I'm down I'm living in Boca Raton Florida I've got 125 gallon aquarium
planted no dirt wipes gone I'm like I'm gonna clean the heck out of this tank I
take the tank down halfway I take out all six of the filter pads I scrub them
I take the water halfway down I fill it up and I over cleaned my tank it was
carnage absolute carnage I watched my bleeding heart Tetris float up to the
surface that I loved so dearly over cleaning your tank I know you've been
there I know you've done it I over clean my aquarium don't over clean your
clearing folks just too a little bit too much can kill you can kill your fish
over cleaning your aquarium trying too hard messing up your tank
my number two trying to warn your clergymen screwing everything up you
every single what are you watching this is done this every one of you buying
some fancy crazy fish thinking you're gonna make it work in your aquarium and
you end up killing I know every one of you has done this I've done it look from
Paco's to piranhas to red tail cats to that scope boat eeeh that ruin the
entire function my aquarium we've all gone out on a limb and been like you
know I just gotta have the green terror I don't know what it is and you buy a
fish that totally screws up either the function a it's a fish or kills
everything in sight buying that crazy finish thinking you're doing yourself
some good that destroys your entire tank my number two away tries you already
tanked getting that crazy fish that goes nuts and kills everything and my number
one way you try to harm your tank and screw something up I'm doing it myself
in multiple tanks I'm talking about your lights look it may not be the number one
but it's a high one and a lot of people do it into this you run your lights too
long in your aquarium look I got algae on this plant right here from lack of
water changes in too much light I got about 300 credit into tans the
catalyst for this video out in my greenhouse what did I do
I took him and immediately laid them under a 400 watt 400 watt metal halide
for 12 hours day now look they're coming from Africa you think they're getting
that much Sun I don't think so yeah shocker the plants were a little bit
shocked when I put him under a ridiculous amount of light look folks
start at 6 hours a day move your lights forward you have less algae less
problems in your tank I've been six degrees from the equator and I know the
lights aren't on 12 hours a day or 24/7 like some of you try to do do me a favor
