553. Taking back the 220. Re aquascaping and designing the 220 pl

[TigerBarbTanks]

Yo Dustin man, you gotta sort out your international shipping because if you began to ship to Australia i'd be digging tons of your plants, you stuff is tons cheaper than everything in australia, we get ripped off blind when we wanna buy plants. The City Farmers down the road charge $25 for a mid grown Amazon sword...!

[thefishguy89]

its so awesome how i can go into a fish shop almost anywhere in the USA and start talking about plants and youtube and your name always comes up HAHA

[Stingraylord]

Also what kind of lights do you use on those tanks?

[Stingraylord]

If the plants have holes in them I doubt that's a lack of nutrients, more likely a few snails nibbled on them. The same thing happened to my java fern after I fed my puffers some snails and not all of them got eaten.

[ToolPride]

what a sweet tank set up man. do you use a co2 system?

[mybackpocket]

if his plants are a little more expensive then don't purchase them? why are you climbing up his arse about it. You can see from his videos his plants are in tanks with good dirt so i'm guessing they are better quality than other peoples plants.

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@mybackpocket thanks bro....and yeah, I totally get them rolling with dirt and nutrients that most places can't possibly provide in their setups....someones gotta be the hater ;)

[Tommyr]

I like Paypal personally for purchases. So please keep accepting it! And could you talk more about floating plants? I'm digging Frogbit currently. Just got my first batch of that.

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@Tommyr Hey Tommy, still doing paypal, you'll have the option to go with paypal or regular cc. I've got some watersprite I'll talk about... I need to get some frogbit, what's it scientific name?

[Tommyr]

@Dustinsfishtanks Limnobium laevigatum. Thanks Dustin!

[FishAreBeast]

Hey D do u pull of the new growth from ur java fern and re plant that so thatt the main leaf grows bigger.

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@FishAreBeast You can, I am lazy and don't typically.but this is a good move...

[ShinyCard255]

Liquid ferts are expensive dude, start using dry ferts. They will last longer and cost cheaper in the long run

Aquatic Jungles is expensive! I can get the same plants from other sites for cheaper, if not for free! LOWER YOUR PRICES

Way to delete my other message.... you don't like people calling you out, huh?

[DecoyRunner]

@ShinyCard255 dont be a dick

[ShinyCard255]

@DecoyRunner I'm not being a disk, just stating to EVERYONE here that you can get plants cheaper than what he sells them for on other sites, or even FREE off The Planted Tank forums when people trim their tanks because they are kind. Take a look and you won't buy from him

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@ShinyCard255 So why are you watching my videos and commenting on them? Just to hate. So I make some money on some plants, so what? its america, I've also helped hundreds of people who had no clue how to setup a tank...people who have never bought from me...I contribute to the hobby...what do you do?

[ShinyCard255]

@Dustinsfishtanks I watch the videos cuz you do give good advice, but I also contribute by giving my clippings from my plants away for free to hobbyists rather than making money off of them (and they appreciate that)

[lanegjones]

@ShinyCard255 send me some clippings and ill send you some

[mybackpocket]

@ShinyCard255 the man has a ton of subsribers, if everyone asked for a free clipping, he won't have much to sell now will he? He's got two kids and a wife to look after and provide for pal..think about it.

[cjwooods123]

@ShinyCard255 go to this guys channel and you will see what a SHAM he is..... Free plants my ass

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@ShinyCard255 I don't care if you can get plants cheaper elsewhere. Be my guest. someone has to be a hater, glad you decided to step up for the job. I am gonna run a sale in a bit. Oh and great videos Shiny!

[littlelauren971]

what were the black and orange stripey fish at the start of the video? and just wondering, how come i get bored of my tanks but i love them freshly cleaned then like a day later, im not interested again? (i love my fish though)

[Nickp5954]

Beautiful tanks

[ThereThereTBKON]

Flourish Excel and Potassium have done really good things for my tank.

[schtals]

Are you seriously removing all of that big driftwood you brought home from the lake? The green bush on it looks sweet. At least on vid. What is it-- the watersprite or some kind of fern.. Looking FW to new face of 220. To be honest - I liked the big swords in the background. Whats your scapin concept on 220 now?

[awinski999]

@schtals think its java fern mate

[Billyvonbolgenstein]

Hey I heard you say that some of your plants are acclimating. Can you explain more about how long it takes for plants to acclimate and to what conditions they have to acclimate to.

Thanks bro

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@Billyvonbolgenstein they basically need to adjust from one tank to another, every tank is different, you just need to understand that when you move them, they might change....

[GaearGrimsrudd]

nice video. big fan of yours.

[damiangonzalez615]

i see u have powerheads in ur 220. would it be alright if i put this koralia powerhead i have in my 30 gallon planted tank?would it help the plants?

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@damiangonzalez615 i wouldn't say it would help so much. you can use it. powerheads help gas exchange which is always good...

[jami3r00]

@damiangonzalez615 i tried used a koralia in my 40 gallon but i find even the smallest are very strong. As far as helping the plants, iv found that stem plants i have near my filter outflow struggle a bit and the stems are a lot thinner yet eventually adjust and toughen up

[macmanieatpie]

you don't sound good .are you well

[Brian100487]

The 220 looks awesome

[laxplayer3690]

that looks amazing...keep the wendelov it looks great

[calvinrx]

D, how do you keep your tiger lotus blossoming low? Mine sends pads to the top and the prettier lower leaves die off.

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@calvinrx high light

[UberMadhatter911]

Hey Dustin, are those clown loaches in the 220? I've got a pair myself. Favorite fish so far

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@UberMadhatter911 yep

[TheAJGood]

@QSA10 you just said "im not a idiot"...there for your pretty fucking dumb.

[ThePencilShredder]

dustin at about 2:12 when you said "im getting alot of new growth outta that" i have that same plant in my 30 gal have had it for about a year and it refuses to grow like it wass tall when i got it.. its healthy but short but was long when i got it

[AquaJtang]

Sup man I like the Bush leave it!! hahaha i'm liking the hardscape can finally see the wood, but..... i gotta point out... why is the val in the front? LOL vals gotta go to the back man idk if it fits anywhere else...

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@AquaJtang relax homie, I have a plan...ps i still need to send your stickers, i over loaded the package and still have it sitting around.

[AndyBodyHome]

what are the blue rainbow fishes called?

[demonkazi]

BROWNS might have a CHANCE!!!! must BELIEVEEEEEEE!

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

i wanna seee some color in that 220, get some reds purples etc

[mattsaquariums]

dustin you should have got cardnial tetras instead of the neons in the smaller display tank. Neons are cool but i cardinals are cool in my experiance because they got more color. But anyway looking good.

-Matt
