No yeah your pet
still fix it Oh miss thing boys it for all what's up fish tank people
fishtanktv.com dustin's fishtanks being quiet at the no maintenance tank how's
everybody doing I hope you're doing well doing videos while the place is open
it's kind of scary but me and Elsa here have work to do so in today's video as I
catch my breath we're going to show you what I'm going to do to remove and
destroy algae in this tank hopefully once and for all we're gonna do a quick
cleanup of some of the stuff we've got around here you can see the tank is
doing better than it was a couple of days ago we still got some algae look
the problem is too much light but we are going to eliminate the light first
things first we're gonna remove as much algae manually as we can we're gonna do
a water change we're gonna fill it back up we're gonna feed the fish then we're
gonna say sayonara goodnight adios and we're going to black out this aquarium
here we go alright first things first we gotta be quiet stakeout people in here
but I'm going to take the big boy siphon right here we're gonna siphon about 20
percent out manually get in there and move some of the hair out dude hold on
get the party started burn in doubt water change it up and I manually remove
this and I'm actually going to take the siphon tube part off so we're just left
with the manually removing all this here
and this will pull out as much as we can before we do the blackout but the
scrubbing went okay but what I want to do is get as much of this stuff out of
here as we can prior to blackened out just cuz give the
tank a nice bath before it gets off set if you are enjoying this hit the
subscribe and the notification buttons around here because we're doing daily
videos and we're having a lot of fun with this tank you can also click the
links around here and check out the videos we did on this tank on Monday to
see the progress that we've made so far we're not out of the woods yet it's not
a one and done thing it takes time and we're just battling but I want to battle
today without using any sort of like peroxide or any sort of bleach tips or
anything like that you'll notice pulling tight to the coppa yellow flame was
underneath 175 watt metal halide in the greenhouse and had the red it's under
less light here so it's got a little bit more green not as much red more light
obviously more red pigments but in here you can see the tips have changed a
little bit still doing just fine now note the busie falinda right here this
plant has taken a beating but has come back nicely the outer leaves were
damaged punished whatever inner stuff is just fine rough rugged plant just like
the horse of the great Alexander the Great of antiquity who was named after
boosah phallus was a philanderer and you can click the links around to
see how the boost is doing in my flooville b-26 tank where I've been
running it for almost two years so the siphon is going better now it's
pulling that up in there
so the water here is draining good I love this because the water is readily
available we've got the threaded piece here so I can kick this on and it's just
a big time-saver I didn't do that big of a water change I'm not as too concerned
about the temps but I run it like this with the water on to get my temps right
I can compare the temp to this coming out of the tank with the water here it's
close enough I've already coordinated the tank so I'm
gonna add this on there now I'm going to sprint up there to make sure that it's
in there and I think the water got a little warmer when the water got to the
pipe so you always want to kind of hang around for a second that's coming in
there good and while this fills we're gonna give them one last feeding
somebody pointed out there's a fish in here that looks kind of sick I'm not
gonna treat the sick fish and the algae at the same time but this guy right here
is not looking so hot so if anybody has any clue of what's going on with him
please let me know he's looking a little a little little janky I don't know
what's up with him
all right so I'm gonna do something and I have not done in a very long time with
an aquarium you can use five milliliters of bleach and a liter of water and you
can take out everything you can scrub it in a bleach dip well you can go the safe
way this is really scary what we're gonna do is we're just gonna whack the
tank out so we're not gonna have any light today's Friday so it's gonna be
off by like 11 o'clock on Friday and we're not gonna let any light in the
tank at all Saturday Sunday we're gonna come in here
Monday and we're gonna reveal the tank so I've got this stuff this is actually
foam that I got with the 350 for my friends at custom I'm going to use this
foam I'm going to tape it to the back I'm gonna use this foam tape it's to the
front and then I'm gonna use sensor in a children's pediatric clinic I brought my
daughter's Elsa blanket we're gonna cover it again after all that with the
Elsa blanket and about Allah I don't know give it a nice little kid look
where this place then Monday we'll come back and open it all up
we're gonna take this piece right here
now we see what it looks like with a black background
take the lights unplug the lights timers off the lights will be off
say no more you want to make sure I've done it before we're gonna make sure
that the plug is plugged in cuz I've disconnected the fx4 before it's still
running I can hear it running so we're good so now the lights are off until I
turn them back on they always and in my experience doesn't
have to be perfectly loved no light but the closer you can get to it the better
or something there might be a couple cracks down my throat like it over top
it as well so is the algae while it's simple to grow and it grows fast it also
can die fast and the plants and everybody's worried about their plants
your plants will be fine I've imported plants from Asia and Africa and they've
been in boxes for five days so these plants in a healthy system in water that
have just gotten a water change will be completely fine I got it oh look at that
almost almost
this around here and what I'm gonna do for this little gap right here is I'm
just gonna tape it that's actually gonna have some visual through it but whatever
the best price to work
unfortunately I wish the élysée blanket was more the--why it's not your pet dad
oh no and as you can see here folks this fish tank is now officially closed for
the Easter holiday sorry everyone here the wonderful baby health has to look at
