I’ve Wanted this Fish for a LONG TIME!

I’ve Wanted this Fish for a LONG TIME!
Have a 75g tank that ran great for 9 months. Had an unnoticed death(got stuck behind heater) and had an ammonia explosion. Literally ammonia tested so high is was off darker than the color chart. My wife did absolutely everything to save our tank, water changes, ammo guard and anything we could think of. Unfortunately we lost all of our friends. Drained the tank, washed everything changed out filter media and started over, used Dr. Tim's one and done. Battled high ammonia for a few days and now my cycle is finally where it needs to be currently sporting a female betta (sole survivor of the ammonia blow out), 2 peacock eels and 3 sterbas Cory's. Can hardly wait to get some blue acaras and some geophagis altifrans back in
The last comment was 2 Years ago😢
My fish are not eating
Can you have too much oxygen?
what's with the music?
Good evening, I really need some advice, I have a 200ltre tank with 20 cichlids in it. I have to in tank pump/ filters running in it but it’s really struggling. What in your opinion on what I could run as a internal pump. I have no space for a canister set up or a hangs over. Thank you
Hi Ben. Which model do you have? 🙏 THANKS
Thanks for the very nice vedio
All of your fish are stunning.
Thanks for the tips sir. I learnt a lot from your video and comments too.
Very helpful! I'm switching my tank from glass pebbles to sand. The pebbles are smaller than gravel & smooth but I think my corys would love sand more
You do what you do, ppl looking for these vids are searching them out, and searching out these channels, not just looking at a feed. It like musicians, who's on the radio, well what better bands are not being played on the radio....millions, is what it is, make yours shit great, and the word will spread, then they search you out.
Would I like about your videos is the fact that at one time you figured out what was wrong with your filters and how to go about fixing them you and I are around the same age and we have a tendency to use our heads and common sense when it comes to problems and problem-solving
You could use and ATO with an optical sensor like they do in the saltwater world like the one from Tunze and I think Hygger even has an ATO.
👍🏻😎 🇺🇸Happy Independence day!🇺🇸
Is an 80 ppm dangerous for a community tank?
Ben, tell us about anticloramine with a top off?
The water added to the ATO is treated with conditioner that neutralizes chloramine.
Happy 4th to you and your Family, Ben! Enjoy the time with them, and you’re right - this IS a Great Country‼️🇺🇸👏👏👏
@@catsailor8621 Amen

Make covers ?
@@DiscusNT I have a sump the same size with covers and almost no evaporation. Covers should be first and foremost.
I have some evap plastic covers that can be cut to size. I might just cover a part of the sump.
First, ahead of pumps, plumbing and media??? 😉
I use plexiglass cut in 3 pieces. One on the left of the intake pipes (with cut outs). Same on the right side to the return plumbing (again with cut outs for plumbing). Then one in the centre. This full covers the sump and is easily removable and almost eliminates evaporation. Can I send a picture?
Always great advice. Thanks for sharing
I loved the pun "Floating around in the fish community"
Make sure your ATO reservoir is large enough so it does not run dry and require frequent replenishment with water I have a 15 gallon reservoir servicing my 340 and 500 gallon sumps. Still needs to be refilled about every 10 days
Looks good Ben😊. Do you have a diy video or could you link one with how you did your sump or who you learned from please.
The most recent videos might help: ruclips.net/p/PLr8ew8o8WXoDqjZiWozK49-rqec9NxVcb&si=-IxoHf6r0KXmuxys
Beautiful 😊❤🎉
Happy 4th of July Ben. Have a wonderful and safe one
Happy Fourth of July my friend
Happy forth Ben, enjoy buddy!!!
Happy Independence Day for you and your family. Thank you for all you do for us fishy folks.
Be safe 😊
Happy 4th of July Ben
Happy 4th Ben! Be safe and have a great holiday. Cya next weekend!
fanxy masterful show-offs❤️ LOVE the oscar
I like what you’re doing.
Thank you!
Loving the Salvini and the Firemouth...reminds me I need more Central American Cichlids in my life. 😊
Is that live plants in your Oscar tank? If those are artificial, where do you purchase them. They are really nice.
Is it level in the other direction; Front to back?
Yes it is
I hope to have a couple cichlid tank eventually. I really like yellow labs and the multi shell dwellers. Unfortunately I don’t have the room or budget for that at the moment but it’s on the bucket list for sure
this man spoke facts! Im going to listen to this man!
Loved the video especially the bigger fish most of which are new to me , thank you!
Thank you 😀👍🏻
Love seeing the fish! Thank you!
Everyone is turning into randwas
What’s “randwas?”
Stunning
Thanks Ben for the refresher on beneficial bacteria, just lost three of my fish, was slacking off from my water changers because of my work schedule !!!
It happens to all of us.
Hey Ben I thought I saw a few Apistogrammas
I wish. They are very cool fish and on my “Hope to have someday” list.
I used to have a PAIR of the golden/yellow sevrums...that size...they ALWAYS HUNG TOGETHER...I WOULD SUGESST MAKING IT A PAIR. Makes a huge difference in your tank!..try it!!.Love the channel!
The reason I moved the Red Shoulder Severum to the 210 was because he was harassing the Gold Severum. But maybe two Gold Severums would get along?
Hola sen̈or Ben buenas dias.
Nice tanks,Ben ,I think you would do well with Discus 👍🤓
Congrats on your beautiful fish room. I love Green Terror cichlids but I realized you didn't talk about it in your second featured tank.
I should have. He’s a cool fish!
👍🤠 Those chocolate cichlids look like chocolate covered cherries
The end is kinda funny with you pointing to things that aren't there. I dont know if that was a whoops or done on purpose, but either way, I did giggle a bit.
Should be there 🤣🤣🤣 I’m not too worried. You’re one of 3 people who watch all the way to the end🤣 All kidding aside, thanks for pointing that out. I’ll fix it😀👍🏻
