    I am glad that you touched this topic, water parameters and flow is VERY important to get your desire results, ever since I switched to RO water my plants and fish are thriving, plants just like animals should be researched in order to use compatible species, most people still thinks that all plants require the same things but they don't, thanks for sharing!

    Instructions unclear, added cake mix to my aquarium and all my plants died, but the fish doubled in size

    this is the first time i came across your channel and the editing is amazing! Fish youtubers usually don't do much editing but it kept the video super engaging. Love the info too!

    I never knew that water flow affects plants! Thanks for telling! 😊
  • The santa with "this is a little creepy" 🤣 Interesting video, Justin, hope you're having a nice weekend! 🙂👍
  • Another great video! Flow can go either way sometimes too. Too much flow and oxygen can cause sometypes of algae to pop up. Especially if the flow and plants are right at the surface with strong light.

    I really wish people thought more about their water parameters when setting up a fishtank. Most people pick a fish or plant and start their way from there. While I keep high light and CO2 injection, there's no way in hell you'll catch me using RO water or adjusting my water parameters to mantain a certain species, be it plant or fish. I'd rather keep things that thrive on my local water and save myself the money and headache from having to constantly adjust/buffer parameters.
  • the easiest solution is to just put natural dirt, sand, and wood in a tank when setting it up. The dirt outside has all the minerals and bacteria to provide a healthy ecosystem for plants and fish

    got pearlweed because i thought it looked pretty and is also supoosed to grow like crazy. well it's still SO small and not really making progress. It seemed like it was finally coming along after months of trying, then it seems to have stopped growing again. its been like a year now and it's so small and sparse it seems like it's just going to disappear. :(
  • Could water flow be the reason why algae, in my case green hair grow where the branches of the different plants are intertwined, and at the base of the plants or near the substrate, that is to say in places where the flow is lower?

    Does Echinoderus Tennelus, and Dwarf sagittaria need Filter? Means water flow???
  • @Aswanth_ks_
    Hello, i have planted aquarium and my plants turned transparent over in night i don't know how to keep them alive now could you please tell me something else to..
  • Dealing with low flow and cyano bloom rn. Will probably get an oversized filter to help combat it. Everything in this vid is on point!

    Do plants absorb chlorine from water?

    How are Ca/Mg not too important? Google a picture of the Chlorophyll molecule. See where's the Mg? There is a proper ratio of Ca:Mg. If it's off either way things do not work too well no matter if everything else is in line.

    Not a single word about the microorganisms. Jesus, what an internet piece of gold, real gold.
