Hey there! Welcome! I’m glad you liked it. I know when I first started out I didn’t know anything! I wish I had access to YouTube and the internet for help but wasn’t really an option back then... lol. There is a lot of conflicting information out there with bettas and tank needs. A cycled...

That’s not a bad price for that! I’ll have to keep that in mind when I set up my Aquaponics indoors.

Exactly! Lol. With nitrates in my tap no increase in nitrates would be awesome, but if I can get a decrease in nitrates that would be spectacular! If you understand basic plant biology than your plants will consume enough nitrogen to support their current leaf mass as well as fuel for new...

T With the growth I have now I have not seen my nitrates rise at all! It’s nice to have the peace of mind of knowing I won’t have a nitrate problem anymore! I’m always looking for improvements. You sound like me with the wheels turning as to how to perfect the system! Did you get a high...

Posted an update video a few days ago!

Always good to know what you are getting into!

Hey Dejen, thanks! It was an Aqueon gravel vac. Depending on the size of your tank there are a lot of more efficient gravel vacs. This one was a spare so very basic. Some of them have an inline squeeze ball that helps to start the siphon which makes life easier. There are others your can...

Thanks everyone! Lol, my wife thinks I’m strange for trying to pet a fish! I’ve seen videos of people whose fish swim into their hands to be pet so I know its possible! Lol

hey everyone! I see this question a lot and thought I would help with the newbies out there. I created a video that shows proper tank maintenance, as well as a document with a step by step into tank maintenance. Hope this helps save some fish lives out there! Document is in the description of...

They’re looking good!

I like it! Shutter design! Lol. I’ve built a few Aquaponic s systems in the past and have learned from my mistakes. This is the easiest and cheapest design with my current set up.
