what's up fish tank people
Dustin's fishtanks bring it to you on a
Tuesday baby out in the Sun how's
everybody doing I hope you're doing well
so in today's little Tuesday live soiree
I'm out in the Sun because I was in a
trade show for I don't know up a reefer
Palooza for three days without any
sunlight and vitamin D deficient like
from the get so I'm out getting Sun and
I figured why not tell you guys how to
deal with full freaking sunlight in your
aquariums what to do what not to do
Sun feels fantastic for me to get on my
bones so I want to show you guys how I'm
using it successfully in the greenhouse
and not successfully in the greenhouse
because it does go a couple of different
ways so I'll start with the good and
show you guys this because this is a lot
of fun for me is that I mean that look
the Sun gives you everything like I
can't believe people don't try to
utilize it there's the full Sun right
there I've got it attentionally
underneath the shade right here and I'll
roll down like this so these are Krenim
the tans that I got in I got these in
you can click the link around somewhere
for unboxing video of all 6080 so these
are in full sunlight but I'm using the
full sunlight and what's nice about
these plants is that they can handle
full sunlight because they're so crowded
in here this is just a temporary holding
spot for them the tricks you got to do
those you got to use full full
fertilizers and full full sunlight
because you got to think the plant is
working really really really hard when
you're putting it in full Sun so I've
got this is chock-full some of my new
plant booth to grow flat plant booster
growth juice that'll be available soon
oh you guys can see out with a glare or
not but these are in here and then what
I do is that I have them in here I can
just tell by the way that they're
looking like just look at the leaves on
these the plants will tell you what's up
so like this plant is healthy as an ox
it's doing really well
cuz it's in full Sun and then I come out
here and I kind of swirl them around now
what I have the ability to do that most
you don't do is that you're you're able
to do the big water changes on them in
here this is actually a another Natanz
in there but you can see these plants
are really enjoying the full
like all day long they really like it
they're getting everything all of this
you know full Spector I mean they're
coming out of the Sun so I'm floating
these out here to show you guys this but
I do want to point out there some things
that don't work well with the Sun to
rinse my hand off real quick see that
this is the tub of oppas le right there
rinse my hand off real quick well I'll
do this live and then I can also uh hey
easy water changes boom there you go
alright so uh I all I'm what I'm gonna
do though with these is I'll take this
whole big PVC and I'll shove it all the
way down in there so that I can change
the water out no problem so I'll just
let it overflow see the particles
overflowing over there so that's money
and look yeah obviously I'm setting the
tank in the background now here's the
here's the DLL to turn this off get the
phone wet you do not actually want to
set your aquariums in full direct
sunlight on that though so like right
here this is current or excuse me this
is anubias tapas le this plant I've been
moving strategically around so that it
stays in the shade because this anubius
likes the shade I've actually tried it
in full Sun and it doesn't work so I'm
leaving it in the shade but I want to
show some other things with anubius
that's one way to hurt the anubius is to
have it in too much Sun this OP is Ely's
just fine the other thing you got to
worry about it's temperature so you got
a little bit of higher temps right here
and the higher temps it doesn't like the
higher temperatures so we've got to keep
it moving it and keep it in the shade
and I actually store it in the lower
setup like this walking here and show
you guys this so I got the oppas le in
there and that's it in the perfect setup
actually because that gets a whole huge
water change daily we do water he's on
there and then here's the upper part
this is the part that kind of has a
rough part we've got this is up here in
full Sun now I've been experimenting
with this and I've had some failures I
had to move the anubius coffee folia
down because it was too hot but look at
the full Sun right here this is the real
deal Holyfield
got this up here like that so I'm really
enjoying how that's coming in with the
full Sun so in your own aquariums you
gotta ask you something all right
you're not your plants aren't gonna get
full sunlight all the time so you have
to consider that and then I've had some
anubius die off actually on me and it
got too hot so we had to lower it down
here so we lowered the anubias down and
that seems to work out pretty well so
now he's got it in more in the shade and
that's been a good way to go just up
here it was kind of its kind of vile you
can see the leaves kind of coming off so
it's all like species dependent like the
anubias definitely did not like the full
Sun had to move it down I even have an
LED strip on top of it but it wasn't too
nuts about that so I'm gonna move this
anubias down these tanks by the way
weren't getting enough water flow so I
had to go had to get it cranked up the
water flow right here so now I get more
water flow now I'm good now I got
anubias traps but I will show you some
of the benefits though there's how about
some big auntie anyone so this is the
benefits of the full Sun now right here
is this is a marble sword right here
sun's out plants out baby yeah so that's
a marble sword at school to go but look
if it gets too high I mean like look
this is what happens like I got I got
some hair algae on it like I'll admit it
like try running to try running a planet
tank with full Sun you know it's all
hard stuff happens so I've got that I do
want to show these babies though these
babies are off the chain right there all
those babies have been slowly just
feeding those Hamburg blacks so there
you go that's what I'm that's what I'm
doing this is some Blixen right here
that I got from a man Victor at the
aquascaping contest and yeah this is
also hi drew Connell try part two doing
good in full Sun right here definitely
loving this plant though it's coming on
good
so yeah that's uh that's money but again
I mean that's the full Sun like that's
just you know one layer of greenhouse
panel coming through so wanted to show
that we roll back outside get my water
about Krenim taeyeon room right there so
yeah what questions you got folks Oh
swap this out here talk to y'all see
what's going on
yo LEDs cause you to control the LED
most people cause you to control most
people's tanks to get as you in daylight
yeah yeah that's a good point yeah so
what did I forgot to mention that
because I'm still tired my kids let me
sleep uh yeah one of the things too is
lot of people don't realize is when they
have a tank set up they might have it in
a room where they can actually get algae
because of like that like natural
daylight coming in so they've got their
actual tank light on and then they don't
realize that they're getting like light
from the Sun or somewhere else that's
causing you'll notice I got a shade
cloth on the greenhouse too like I cover
up 60% of the sunlight with most of it
what else what should I do if my gravel
is short how do I plan it you add more
gravel that's easy what's going on
everybody Josh went home Josh did a good
job so yeah that's the quick lesson he's
gonna go back to recuperating getting
himself tire rested up I didn't know I
didn't get in till really on something
that my kids woken up early the other
day before so there you go so I'm out
everybody could meet many of you at
reefer Palooza yeah a half day for Josh
my man might need some more substrate
cold Esau Amazon slurping cope is
starting to wilt new healthy growth now
man just add a big water changes man
bacopa can handle it the blue Cobras
Wilton you got to worry about nutrients
something like that did you run today I
did run today but I definitely got like
six hours of sleep other other than
lighting sources and LED t5 whatever so
yeah cool all right folks
I'm Audi
let's Hank on quick lesson bye-bye
