Guess the stocking! . We’ve got two brand new aquarium projects dropping before the end of August, and they couldn’t be more different. Pure chalk and cheese. Total opposites in style, water parameters, and scape. . What species do you think are going into each one?
Nano tanks are easily some of the most rewarding builds! This one was designed especially for Danionella, one of the smallest fish species in the world. . A little growth update though. The stem plants are going wild, probably due to us dosing @NTLabsOfficialSite Plantus! . What's your favourite nano species currently? If you want you can watch on our channel for the full step by step build!
Watching Avatar The Way of Water and trying to figure out which Pandora sea creatures I could actually keep in a tank... . Though I keep getting completely distracted by the tiger barb tank right next to the screen. Anyone else’s fish try to outshine the TV?
They said 90% coverage. I heard 10% chance of spontaneous combustion. @owenandfaye know the struggle, our pale skin doesn’t like the sun even if it's covered. Hope everyone enjoyed the eclipse!
I love how quickly we turned this space into a beautiful little wildlife pond! . We’ve already seen hoverflies, butterflies, bees, and a couple frogs all utilizing this new spot in our back garden. It’s incredible how fast nature arrives when you add a bit of water! . You can see the full build here: https://youtu.be/jVx5EOkeK_g . @MaidenheadAquatics
Got a fish you didn't expect to love, but now it's one of your absolute favourites? This Snakehead has definitely become one of mine and my boys favourites. I guess it's because it comes straight out when you enter the room to see what you are doing, or more likely to see if you have brought it some food.
@MDFishTanks is tackling the 8ft again. Do I show up as a supportive friend, or stay safe at home and save my lower back. It was sketchy the first time, what could possibly go wrong?
Can you spot the little visitor we have had? . The little tropical patio pond has already had many visitors from birds to bugs but this was the first amphibian! . I love little ponds like this, it's surprising how a little bit of water can bring so much life to a garden! . We built this little pond in this video here if you want to see how we did it! https://youtu.be/qR6yuNzwj2c
Have you ever kept a nippy fish? Are they nasty or just misunderstood? . The Barbs in our new aquarium setup are amazing. Although they don't stop swimming, I reckon they are some of the most active fish we have currently. . The new setup video is out now on our channel if you want to see it. https://youtu.be/5gGFQDyg4uk
Choosing a pond filter isn't a "one size fits all" job pick the wrong one, and you’re looking at a soup of green water and endless maintenance. Here is the quick breakdown of the big three that we discuss in our newest YouTube video.
In-Pond Filters: The easiest choice to install. Everything sits completely submerged out of sight. Perfect for smaller setups or pre-formed patio features where you don’t want bulky gear ruining the view.
Box / Flow Through Filters: The reliable workhorse. These sit right on the edge of the pond and rely on gravity to pour the clean water back in. They offer massive filtration capacity and are incredibly easy to open up and clean.
Pressure Filters: The versatile filter. Because the canister is completely sealed under pressure, you can bury it in the ground and pump the clean water right up to the top of a massive waterfall. Plus, most come with a simple backwash valve so you can clean it without getting your hands dirty.
We just dropped a massive, deep-dive video breaking down the exact pros, cons, and hidden features of these systems so you don’t waste money on the wrong setup.
