@@omarr8k635 that’s completely dependent on you. 50% can do a lot to your water and help keep it healthy, and 100% can be fantastic for a tank but it’s not necessary (unless you have a massive ammonia spike or your water is very dirty). So, it’s entirely up to you, if you want to go the unnecessarily safe route and spend a while, or go to the necessary safe route and spend less time.

So my question is when you do the water change do you just add tapwater back in from your faucet? I have angelfish, glow fish types and sucker fish, in my tank and Im still new to fish keeping. But I have not familiarized myself with adding water or doing a water change and how I’m supposed to go with the type of water to add back in I have a 110 gallon tank. Basically what I’m confused on is when you add the tap water into your tank so you put in the de-chlorinator before adding water into the tank or after. Cause I know you said you do a pre mixed bucket for your certain fish but idk if I should do the same to mine since mine arnt the same fish
@ryanwinters9375
2 жыл бұрын
This is so much easier than what I usually do I didn’t know you could just pour the dechlorinator in the water while you’re doing the water change otherwise I would’ve just used a hose to begin with I thought you had to let it sit in the water for a minute for it to kick in (so I would pour the water into a bowl or bucket add D chlorinator to it and then scoop by scoop slowly refill the water)

I haven’t done a water change in months & my tank is as healthy as ever. I top my tank off with RO water, my plants handle all the nitrates in the water. I also have a fluval 307 with a uvc on the output. I test my water weekly and haven’t seen nitrates rise above 0 ppm. I gave it a month before rinsing out my 307 filter without changing any of the media to see how it handles the water parameters, so far it’s been clear water, thriving plants and stress free fish. They really like to swim in my wave maker during the day, at night they just chill still. I have driftwood that some plants are attached to, they have controlled most of the outcome of the water. I only know thing because my nitrates are so Low, prior to this they’d peak at around 3 weeks before I’d take 30% of the water out and change. Since the addition of new plants and better filter, who know how long before my next water change.

How many gallons is this tank? Mine is a bowed 36 gallon. You can put cichlids in that low of a tank? Thought it has to be 75 gallon or bigger? And also on the water changes I thought every bucket I fill up with has to be mixed with the prime first. Can you just add the right amount of prime in tank and then fill it up with the chlorinated water without it deleted first? Looks like you added the chemicals in the tank and just added the hose water to the tank. Looks like it woukd be much faster which is cool but wonder if it wouldn't mix right away with fish already in the tank? Forgive me as I'm a newbie.

love your videos. I have done so much research but can never get enough. I have myself my very first fish tank and a big 75 gallon tank at that! In a few weeks I’ll have the water parameters good to add fish. I had a question in regards to maintenance water changes. It’s obvious I need to add dechlorinator to my water but….. When the water has been taken out of the tank…Before I add the new tap water ...do I put the dechlorinator in the current tank water then it’s safe to just pour tap water into the tank with the fish and old tank water!?? It Just sounds weird that I could put tap water in the tank right away after putting in the dechlorinator in the old tank water. or should I add tap water to a bucket with the declorinator before I put into the tank directly or is that being over cautious? I just want to make sure I don’t hurt my fishies when I get them. I may be asking a silly question but better safe than sorry I just want to take the correct steps when doing my weekly changes. Is it that safe to do so? Thank you for all the education videos.

Love these videos! I went to buy a goldfish for my son, got chatting to a guy in the shop… needless to say I didn’t buy the goldfish and things escalated quickly. We love it and my 7 year old is super into it too! So, I bought the set up, bought the dechlorinator stuff, bought the starter bacteria and dosed as per the instructions, left it for a week and the levels were nice and low (though my strips were saying there was very low ammonia, even though there was nothing on there, so that’s first question). After a week we went to buy fish. About half what the tank capacity it going by the 1cm of fish rule and I’ve been continuing to put the starter bacteria in at the start up rate because my levels are still higher than it should be. A week later I’ve spiked and I’m scared. If I do a 50% water change (with dechlorinator stuff) reckon it’ll help? Another video you did said I won’t loose my beneficial bacteria that I’ve got but realistically with the amount I’ve put in (daily dose for a fortnight) I don’t understand what’s going on! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, we’ve already had one die because the others bullied it and were pecking at it 😭

Do you need to get the water temperature off the faucet to match the water temperature in the tank before putting the water back in the tank?

When I take decorations out of the tank how long can the beneficial bacteria live outside of the tank?

As long as the decorations stay wet you should be fine for a few hours. Dont let it dry up.

I have a freashwater fully planted tank...Should i unplug the heater before drianing the tank? Also where should my PH levels be before adding fish?

Yes, always. You dont want heaters on while not submerged under water. they can burn out or even melt. PH levels depend on what your fish species require.

Awesome video! This channel has been so soild. So it is safe to very temporarily add untreated tap water to the tank? I've been enjoying using the python for water removal but I've been pre treating 10 gallons at a time and using a transfer pump to get it in the tank with fish in it. Is this a completely unnecessary step im taking?! I'd love to stop doing that loll

Well I have good news for you, stop doing that! lol Yes you can add the tap water right into the tank as long as you add your Seachem Prime immediately before or after. either way is safe as the chlorine wont effect anything in such a short period of time and in such a small concentration. 😁💪

Hey there, love all of your videos. Quick question when you add the de-chlorinator are you pouring it directly into the tank as much as you need in one shot? Or a little as you go? Or are you drawing the water from a premixed bucket, I’m assuming the python is connected straight to your tap though. Thanks for all the great content keep it up! I’ve learned a lot.

can i re establish a tank in one day? it was a family member’s, and i cleaned the tank but kept the gravel and decorations wet, and i put the pleco in old water along with new water and prime. it’s only at about 40-45% now, i’m just wondering when to fill the tank fully, I have Stability as well, if needed. Your videos have helped me so much to get this first tank started and I’m just hoping I’m doing it right!

How large of a dose of prime do you add to the tank before adding your tap water in to ensure the chlorine does not mess with the fish?

How do you get old fish food and poop out of the bottom of the rocks or gravel?
What are you using to add the water back in. I use pitcher to pitcher. And using the pitchers I use prime once my tank is full. How else should I do it

when doing a water change. Do you have to re introduce healthy bacteria that come in the bottle into the tank again? or do you just use prime and the bacteria that is already in your tank will grow again? TIA 😃
@KaveManAquatics
Жыл бұрын
Doing water changes does not remove any of your beneficial bacteria as they do not live in your water column. They attach themselves to the surfaces in your tank and in your filter. You dont need to continue adding bacteria IF your tank is already cycled. If its not cycled yet then you should add prime and stability daily until it does. I highly suggest you check out my playlist for beginners. It'll be very helpful for you 😁 - kzitem.info/door/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er
