sweetie what's up fish tank people fishtanktv.com dustinsfishtanks Thursday
night smoke the huge deal today loving it
life's good in the chat talking to the people in the chat like while you go hey
he goes I got some plants on the beds okay why didn't you hit me up he's like
you shipped to the UK so that was kind of a humbling moment the people across
the pond or watching this and all over the world so loved it appreciate all
your comments and everything we're just gonna keep doing what we're doing and
we're doing it so ask me questions and I'll keep doing it here's what's up
somebody asked me Dustin he always talked about dirt what about getting
your plants at a desert well that's a good question because it's kind of a
pain in the butt so here's what I do I'm showing this for a couple reasons one I
just planted these last week Amazon swords classic plant got a run on gotta
love them here's what's going on so like this plant down here you've got
these nice fresh green leaves coming out so clearly the plant is in good health
and you've got this leaf here so what I'm gonna do some of the two things I'm
gonna remove this leaf now know if this leaf were here and there was no other
new growth coming I leave this on because it's still actually doing some
good but you want to actually rip the leaves off break them down at the bottom
like that so that they can be removed I'm in the mosquito heaven by the way so
that's do you want to remove that there now here's what you want to do you take
that off so what happens is the plants don't know to send the nutrients and
whatnot that they're taking from the dirt to the leaves that are kind of
funky so they just are sending all this energy to leaves that may not be the
best in the best shape so you want to rip the leaves off so that they send it
to the good leaves so here's what's up the other part I want to show you is how
I take them out of a dirty thing and I'm getting killed with mosquitoes right now
because you just slowly kind of just work it up out like this you know and
just just kind of slowly kind of kind of pull and then push down pull and push
down kind of go like that and then just kind of pull it up out of there you see
a little bit of slow and that's how you do it this is a great sword some stone
swords like this for five bucks there election a little bit around the side
and be a little bit bigger a little smaller and this is three bucks but some
people like she didn't know some plants I thought was kind of funny because my
goal is to educate not sell plants well actually my goal is to sell enough
plants I can put my job and do this full-time they'll be out more but here's
what's up this is an Amazon sword great plant this is actually a runner off one
of the ones on my 220 and I have it outside because they do well outside you
can see there's really good like veins in the plant I've talked about this
before so I'm just gonna put this one back in there I wanted to show you how
to take it off or up out of the water so you know no plant it back down there I
stick it with my finger like this and I kind of hook it down in there like that
see those bubbles coming up that's gonna happen because I've got dirt with some
bubbles in it so that's what's up over there and then on the pond my man Vinny
in the chat was trying to tell me to take my pond and run it with off do big
water change and then run it with like décor or No Deal or which could solve a
few problems it could kill the tiny little baby mosquito fish because I just
throw some of corene however I really don't want to hurt my generation of
goldfish that I have out here so I don't know I might have the prime handy and
just change it off but you could see the nice jungle battle over there the dude
swimming through I was talking to my man Clark on the chat he's got these super
sick coil you're gonna want to check those out up on the
detective evening calm which will be changing to fishtank TV calm I've got to
make sure everybody's over so you can get there and yeah so the ponds fun
definitely a serious balance off-balance thing do you have suggestions on the
fish to eat the other fish is kind of cool I like the idea of rainbows some of
you said Garth there's no way in hell I'm putting agar out here he's gonna
totally snatch up my goldfish and you all know I love my goldfish though
manually removing this out this stuff is the best stuff ever for live bears guppy
grass I did a specie sundown in a while back and it's really what I'm trying to
do to outgrow the algae I'm trying to let this stuff for a while and if anyone
you know I'm trying to use plants as filters there's one of my favorite
Gophers right there in the middle that this is black when I've walked where I
bought it when I found him so excited about that and really just having a lot
of fun the weekends coming up oh yeah this is a high Groff law
it's not a very well seen plant you don't see it all the time Waltzing I
don't know cutting this I'm speaking but I grapple is a really cool plant really
really Hardy and might even be illegal cousin sub-basins it just grow so well
but very cool kind of a different contrasts of plant and I like how it
grows once it hits out of the water so definitely it was purple before I
started screwing with it so that's what stopped asking questions I try to get
you guys in chat I apologize stuff though
but I'm having a good time
