How to multiply java fern Videos

great video i want to start a planted tank do i need anything specifically to begin or just get the plants

I was given a couple free anubias plants from my LFS but all the leafs have algae on them what can I do?

how long does anubias take to produce a leaf

Do you have Bolbitus for sale?

NICE GOOD INFO ..

great thank you

great vid man!

good info

+Sam Enjy yes I use co2. You can't beat co2 it's the best!

Thanks - The tank is small but gets the most attention from me out of my 3 tanks, because it's next to my computer. I wish Java ferns grew faster too - they barely grow at all it seems...not so with java moss though. I whack that clump back everytime I clean the tank. My other two tanks are 35 gallons each - one is a hexagon, the other is a bow front corner tank. I will do updates at some point, but I think my tanks are kinda boring : )

I just subscribed to yours too : ) My java fern is ok, but doesn't look anywhere near as nice as yours. They also grow really slowly. I had a huge pile of baby java ferns I was growing in a floating fish breeder box for months. I got sick of them and threw them all out. They were growing, but just slowly. I got tired of cleaning the algae out of the box : )

Ha yeah they are pretty slow growing. I've got so much of the stuff at the moment though I can't even give it away, no one wants it. Thanks for the sub Appreciate your support.

Ha ok will be good to see , i went from having plants completly as i have just set up a malawi tank which means no more fussing about with plants

Nice tank i used to keep java fern aswel but found it a bit annoying, just with its grow rate that is. Hope for some updates, have subbed.

Nice tank. Your Java Fern looks healthy enough to me. I've subscribed to your channel. Hope you can sub me back

yeah man, there are loads of us fishkeeping nerds about. We love seeing updates! Keep em coming my friend

hey man when you gonna be doing an update for us? Haven't seen your tank for a while

what kind of shrimp do you have? please reply.

The info says they are red cherry shrimp.

Wonderful video, and fish !!

This video is too cool.

really?

Although you may be right in theory this is not what's going on

It's the direct light and heat the leds give off rather than the fluorescent light used in most tanks also known to help plant growth. Got any other brain busters.

Thanks Paul, dont be afraid of the big water change! Their always beneficial! 

Thanks for such a rapid response. I went ahead with your suggestion. I got a bit of cold feet and only did about a 30% change. I guess that wasn't enough because after wards my test showed no charge in ammonia. My next move is to try Aqua pro or some other ammonia remover or just be more patient. In a week or so I'll send you a pic to let you know how beautiful my new planted tank is. Thanks again for all the cool stuff included in your response. It has a lot of great info. I'm lovin you guys a lot. Good luck to ya! Paul

Changing your water should not have any negative effects, the bacteria you want will be primarily fixed to surfaces in your aquarium. If you are impatient, try adding some beneficial bacteria culture directly to your filter media and wait a few days. Your ammonia should be gone soon. 

strange video

If a timer messes up or a light goes out.... you can lose a fish. The PH controlled system is the safest and best route to take. It's also great to have that sensor LED readout always available. I've got 5 discuss and a lot of fish in a 120. It's not worth the risk. I've seen too many people "experiment" by not using a PH controlled system. They always tend to lose some fish before they get it dialed in. I'm not willing to take that risk. Go price 5 blue diamond discus. Too risky.

you really dont need a PH controlled system, in fact it can cause alot of algae issues, all you need is a CO2 drop checker and 2 socket timers have you CO2 come on then your lights 1-2 hours after then after 6-8 hours have your co2 go off then 1-2 hours later your lights off, adjust your co2 so the drop checker is a nice green colour. Job done. Timers will do their job and all you gotta do is fert your water and do 50% water change each month :)

the thing you need to realise is that everything affects your water, bog wood, ferts plants etc... When you use CO2 you need to keep a stable pH/KH to get the correct concentration of CO2. You are aiming for 25-30 parts per million CO2 in your tank water you wont maintain that using PH probe. ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=20216&p=205481&hilit=ph+probe#p205481 George Farmer talks about this in this thread

Jealous! I wish I could spend $ on a PH controlled CO2 system. That is the way to roll. The one I've had my eye on is around $400. If you could do a video on how you picked that out, set it up and what you went with and why. That would rock and I would give it a thumbs up instantly. :-) Thanks for another great video. Cheers

Nice BM. I like to attach a syphon hose to the glass with a suction cup while trimming. Really reduces the amount of trimmings you need to clean up, especially with the moss as it sinks and gets everywhere. Do you have a pair of double bend or S curve scissors? Really helps cut a nice even cut.

I have a question! I bought my hairgrass few weeks ago. I trimmed all the little batches, planted them and it seems like the leaves i cut never grew back. It grew new ones but.. they are yelloish.... not green at all like the ones i cut when i first got them... do you get yellow hairs at all??

hobbit60031 second ago Oops, have one question to ask: after trimming, do your maintain your liquid fertilisation regime, or do you reduce the dosage? If you do reduce the dosage, by how much and for how long?

Ya , i like it. I think i only paid 120.00 for it. I know some dont agree with it, but the proof is in the tank. I will do a vid on all the equipment. Thanks for viewing and the kind words my friend.

Tank looks fantastic BM I alwost got a ram the other night ..but i have more than enough fish as it is. Any luck with the angels breading .. I have 4 that have paired up now... Peace.

Wish I could reach into mine that easy, I need a frigging ladder lol. Gotta love trimming java moss. How ong did it take you to clean the trimmings up. Awesome aquarium BM
