Hi Dr novak Do you know anyone who has discus fish with plenum and bcb over five six years ???

I only have the substrate,plenum, air pump and also the fluval 307. No Sponge filter at all. I don't even clean the Fluval Filter 307 for 5 months. I put BCB bag in the Fluval. Until I had slime Now it still running.

Have you seen Bentley Pascoes recent video on his anoxic filtration experiment? It would be interesting to hear you comment on it. ua-cam.com/video/BKvvlvYhtEc/v-deo.htmlsi=I6VTvZESl-S6_CvZ

Running two of the 40 gallon breeder stands won't work on the 125 gallon. I'm should work for the six foot span side to side, but the 125 I believe is 24 inches front to bank which is obviously more than the 18 inches for the 40 breeder stands.

Most articles I have read on dosing 3% hydrogen peroxide say to use 1.5 to 2 ml per gallon. Why did you use 3 ml per gallon or 30 ml for 10 gallons? I had a major outbreak of black beard algae and it took over my tank before I discovered using 3% hydrogen peroxide to treat it. The BBA was in all my decorations, plants and the glass and I figured I would give it a shot. I dosed 2 ml per gallon for 2 weeks and the BBA disappeared. I then added Florida Flag Fish to my tank as they eat BBA and it has been over a year and I have not had another outbreak. Every once in a while I see a tuft of BBA, but the Florida Flag Fish eat it before it spreads. Thanks for the great videos. If I had seen your videos a couple of years ago it would have been so helpful.

Sounds like plenums would be great for those “filterless” tanks/vases people set up Sand (=< 0.50 inches) Kitty Litter plenum

Wow, I love this video, I’ve just got some paradise fish, I love them, I call them my cool fish, cause they are just so chilled ❤

I look forward to seeing how you use the plumbing pipe (pvc?) to set up a plenum for a larger tank. Will you add a sponge to that set up as well?

Hello Dr. Novak, got a question for you. I’ve been watching for a while and appreciate your content. I am about to set up another aquarium and I want to use a plenum (it will be my first one). My question is, will a plenum or slow moving plenum be just as affective or useful in an unplanted aquarium? It will be an African shell dweller set up. Also, would it be just as effective to put safe t sorb or kitty litter in the plenum instead of on the plates under the substrate? Thanks for all the helpful info!

Hi Dr Novak, love your videos, they helped me a lot. I would like to ask you if expanded clay has the same properties as the cat litter.

What pendent light from the hardware store do you recommend? What are your thoughts on arestsian water?

You feed your goldfish worms once a year? Hmm guess I have some red wigglers in my compost pile. I might give em a treat.

Im more concern what happened to cute Ranchus 😢

So you're basically just increasing the REDOX potential?

same thing here a ff tank all planted out about 90 g tank feeding every 3 days all i can say is that the fish look very weak, skinny and sick it is more than a huge fail to me for me, more like a big big disappointment.....

i was planning to use some lava rock underneath the plenum... should i not? heard u saying it will clog up thank u

very well written

It's a gudgeon. Not a goby.

so true had my mbuna tank collapse a few months ago the tank was pristine water parameters were good was keeping up with my weekly maintnance and boom they all died in one week 32 fish.....

Can I ask which filter pads you use in the ADA ES2400 (would love amazon link :-)? Also I'm about to order a 385 gallon tank from Custom Aquariums. It will be pretty heavily planted with a medium fish load. Will set up with plenum. Do you think one ES2400 will be sufficient or will I need more? I'm guessing I'll need more, but don't want to spend money unnecessarily. I will be injecting CO2 so I'm trying to stay away from a sump due to the off gassing.

Hi Dr, can You talk about how to eliminate cladophora algae?, I had to reset my planted aquariums because of it, I think it's the worst algae, practically unbreakable!. Greetings from Ecuador

insane love it

Hi! Just discovered your channel! Love it :) I ve had goldfish for years and some ponds. I bought a 60 gal breeder tank with glasstops. A year old now, Fluval 407, 1 sponge filter, 2 aeration stones for 4 small fancy goldfish around 2-3 inches. I have pothos and philo growing wildly, no other plants. Specs are A+, change water every 1-2 weeks… my tap water PH 7.0 but I have one problem… my tank’s Ph hover always around 6-6.4 and sometimes below 6 😱cannot get it up😢 I have 5 other tanks Ph always good around 6.8-7.2. Can you help?

i'm just loving this so much fun!!!

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

just awesome!!!

this is just great fun to watch and listen to

a real pleasure!!!

Thanks for this Dr. Novak! I was considering buying this since they have it for $49 (50% discount), but I'm trying to reduce my manual maintenance time not increase it! Seems like I will stick with my caddies/socks.

"Gallons"... US or UK? What about using Liters, as a standard/generic measurement that crosses all language barriers?

Prefer to use oil dry

what was the first video?

as always great and precise keep it up

Great video. Is there a minimum and maximum or ideal ratio for the volume/ depth of substrate to volume/ depth of the plenium? Im planning one now but confused whats best. Thanks

Doc great information, but man you’re redundant…

you ramble ramble ramble.15mins 20mins 30 mins youre videos are very very hard to follow

My father was laughing at me when i said the aquarium light are not enough compared to when i put some aquarium plants near the indirect sunlight which caused them to bubble. Now i know i was right

Sorry if I missed in this video I was wondering what type of pump you are using?

I am most definitely gonna give this a try!

Hi, what would be the ideal orp reached by the dosing amount?

I use hydron peroxide weekly to control algae. I turn off my light and pumps. And just like you said, my plants have started growing better. Thank you for the video

A lot of these plants are grown in laboratories, where hydrogen peroxide and strong chemicals are used in order to disinfect them for tissue culture

For anyone that would be concerned with hydrogen peroxide all they need to know is that it turns into water when light hits it.. this is why hydrogen peroxide is sold in dark bottles

Being an avid gardener, both in my yard and aquariums I fall victim to the trend of NOT introducing foreign chemicals into those two environments. Perhaps the Roundup scare started this trend and has impacted my aquarium keeping. Nonetheless I respect your research on this and the knowledge transfer to your followers. Right now I am experimenting with floating watersprite. The massive root clusters and spreading, floating foliage seem to do a good job of absorbing excess nutrients, dimming the lights on the bottom and in turn keeping the algae under control.

Excellent video ✅

What's the dosing schedule for hydrogen peroxide? 1 Oz daily per 10 gallon?

Thank you for your video Dr. I have a 4000 liter koi pond; about 1000 gallons; well filtered. Have been having problems with long brown algae because the pond is exposed to a bright sunlight. I have tried to grow emergent aquatic plants to absorb the nitrate, but it has not been working well because apparently the plants consume the Potassium and Phosphate from the water quicker, making them limiting the nitrate absorption. I'm still trying to dose these nutrients, but wary about hurting the fish. I want to try your method of adding H2O2. If you don't mind, can you confirm that the concentration of the H2O2 is 3%, and dosage you mentioned is 30ml/10 gallons? It comes out to about 3 liters/1000 gallons per day. Appreciate it, thank you!

Cool video. Can you use this dose in koi pond ?

Can you base your opinion of swallowing sand being harmful on any actual evidence? I have heard others saying that it’s actually beneficial since it goes right trough flushing out everything on it’s way. How ever i have never heard anyone having issues caused by gold fish eating sad. You are actually the first i have heard saying it’s bad. So i’m curious to hear you explain your theory on more detail.

Is it recommended to inject the hydrogen peroxide in the dark hours?
