Lava rock creates tons of rock dust by friction and I fear the tiniest of that dust goes out the pantyhose and accumulates somewhere in the propeller housing, and cause damage in the long run…decent filter media is much cheaper than my filter!
U forgot 100% nylon paint strainer mesh bags to lol
Yes,
Want to see pro tips and tricks.
I’m setting up a new tank 5 gallon Betta ,is there a quick way to cycle it , I know the biological is on everything in the tank, not the water column as people say.Thanks for your time 🇨🇦🇨🇦 B.C.
Ok
Ok I’ll subscribe
What do you suggest for filtration medias for a 5ft by 2 by 2ft ios tank?
DIY is the best
Bring them baaaaaaack!!!!
you should sell cycled aquarium media .
Paint strainers work great. They come in a 1-5 gallon. They are also cheep. You can pick them up at any home improvement store. I'm pretty sure they are made from nylon.
I have a 120 gallon full of way to many tilapia. It'll plug 6 7" filter bags a day. Any idea what the most efficient lowest maintenance mechanical filter could be? Biological keeps up ok and nitrates feed plants. I just can't seem to keep the tank clear… Love for any suggestions!
Can I use this in a reef tank?
Can you use that media on saltwater reeftanks😄😃👊
I'm a bit late to the show, but yes I would like to see more of those type videos. Seems that u have veered away from that recently. Maybe somewhere down the line, will resort back to the old school way..??
I still watch, however the tips n tricks is more preferable in my opinion.
Awesome love it
Pro tip: yyyyyyyyyyy yes

Will lava rock aid anaerobic process to lower no3? Thanks
Quick question do i need a heater for my tank..Dont know how many gallons,the measurements are 4ft in lengths 1ft 13 width1ft 5 inches in height
Yes
ProTip use the mesh bag from your oranges apples or onions…. Put the lava Rock in zip tie each corner…. Boom Bio media bag
How'd you make the cool light affect on the arowana tank?
I use orange bags…
Buying pantyhose is a lot less awkward when, as soon as you get to the register and they say “hello sir” just respond quickly with “it’s ma’am” and it puts all that awkwardness on the other person. Even if your total male in appearance.
is it necessary to put media in a bag? or not really?
I needed a net type of material for my pool’s leaf vacuum. The pool store charges exorbitant prices for those and they are smaller than I need and tend to fall apart rather quickly. I got an inexpensive laundry bag which lasts a lot longer and holds more material. I suppose that a laundry bag can also be used to hold filter media for aquariums.
What if your wife is a bit on the husky side? Do they use a different size pantyhose or are all pantyhose a universal thickness regardless of the size of the woman?
i suppose I could ask the wife but then I would get that look before she gave me an answer……..ain't nobody got time for that!!!

Blue arowana
I use them when fishing for cat fish fill them with chicken liver tie them off place on hook and go..
Just go to any shoe department, get a few of the free footies in bins (for trying on shoes in a sanitary manner).
The footies are made of panty hose.
Fill, tie a knot, and voila.
I have produce netting I've been saving.
Yes that would be the best
very helpful I would love to see more!!!!! Thank you.

A light diffuser little cage tied put with up with zip ties. Is just fine for lava rock, I only currently use ceramics. Might just start a cage with some lava rock.
Stop calling it Laavaa rock !
