Seven steps to a successful planted tank by JBL

[giorgiog01]

no need for this at all. as long as you have decent lighting and substrate your fine.

this gives people new to the hobby a miss guiding impression about growing aquatic plants :/

[iownudie108]

I don't think this is overpriced.Their co2 kits are some of the cheapest out there.And the gravel heater is also a good thing,cuz i've seen how dramatically it improves plant growth.

[waysgoose]

Step 8: Take out a mortgage to buy all of the equipment.

Also, please note you must have gel nails applied before using the equipment.

[JPRathburn]

Wow, i litteraly have 1 flourecent bulb and some Fertilizer tabs and my plants grow out of control

[kye88]

talk about Hi tech. all i use in my aquarium is plant food. in conjunction with lighting left on for 8 hrs and good water quality. and they are growing really well.

[Luke19695]

How much do all the plants cost?

[PetaPanPipes]

@Luke19695 all of them all at once? Heaps I reckon. Over $100. Depends where you live. If you join an aquarium forum, sometimes you can ask for cheap, trade or free plants+ delivery.

[zedlavAN]

total waste of money. if you understand the principles of keeping planted aquariums, you will have a healthy aquarium at a low cost

[iownudie108]

the ferropol and ferropol 24 are really great! you can see the affect in just 2 weeks!

[tenaciouseme]

is it me or is jbl the main product in this film

[DPhelpfan]

@tenaciouseme Title says....... by JBL

[zunedog31]

i just put the plants in and if they dont grow i get some more..

[Litameena4chan]

Homemade CO2 is relatively easy. :/ all you need is a water bottle, a drill, airline tubing, some aquarium sealant or a lighter, and a diffuser of some sort.

Daylight CFLs are available for cheap at Lowes/Home Depot and Wal-Mart.

There are cheaper enriched substrates available at regular pet stores. Or you know, organic potting soil at Lowe's/Home Depot.

Cheaper root tabs are also available at pet stores. :/

That heating coil does sound interesting though.....

[cbogdan07]

@Litameena4chan

best way to heat water and inject co2 is by using the outtake water hose from your external filter .

watch?v=I4dDkHUHGTw

[FarangBalls]

substrate heaters are not recquired and there is zero evidence that they help at all.

[jami3r00]

i hate posh english in a german accent

[MrSilent937]

ive done planted tanks with water at 80-85.F , 3000K & 6500K bulbs ,and fish . its not hard to do . PH at 6.8-8 can grow most aquatic plants . ivenever had to have any of this hightech stuff or all these liquid fertilizers. i owna turtle tank though with goldfish feeders . i replanted my tank with small cuttings yesterday

[luciano063092]

omg this made me laugh lol



[casichest]

OMG this is a ton of sh*t!!! -_-'

[LippinSmallmouth]

LOL!!! ADVERTISEMENT much?!

[iownudie108]

i hope the ferropol fertilizer works... BTW i dont thin this is much to pay for a full co2 system ,if youre into your aquarium you wont feelsorry for buying it.

[TheCoffeeCorner]

@iownudie108 Indeed. If you want to enjoy your plants for a long time , i totaly agree with you.

[rkon1000]

dont flatn ur gravel if u want to make it look real!!!!

[proto35]

a co2 system would be recommended, but if you do good water changes, good lighting and fertilizers, would be easier for those who are on a budget.

this shit is wayy to expensive. though in the end, the tank looks amazing. too bad the bitch showing stuff , im sure she knows nothing at all. XD

[SavingPrivateHolland]

It all depends how much your budget is and ofcourse what you want. All the stuff in this video does help when you choose for a heavy planted thank, however this does not mean you cant have a nice planted tank with les. Co2 is a basic need for all plants. some plants wont die without a co2 system, but many plants do. Jbl is a good label, nothing wrong with this, afcourse this is a " selling" video, not a video how people should have a aquarium.

[714JN]

what's that fish on 0:24?

[Justbily]

@714JN Microgeophagus Ramirezi

[OnatopaU]

@714JN Blue Ram...a female by the looks of it.

[Minion303]

JBL more like JB-smell

[londonlad777]

some1 was bored on xmas day 2008!

[301whitehall]

YOU CANNOT ADD LIVE PLANTS UNTIL THE TANK IS CYCLED. They're just like fish!

[airbusa1]

@301whitehall no plants take up the ammonia during cycling for their own growth so it is good to put in plants when cycling as it speeds it up

[OnatopaU]

@301whitehall ~I've NEVER killed a live plant that I planted into a newly set-up tank. It helps in the cycling of a new tank. Plants can take a hell of lot more than fish when it comes to extremes. Take the afore mentioned Blue Ram, you would never want to put a Blue Ram into an un-cycled aquarium. Although plants will adapt more quickly in an established tank, it is by no means necessary.

[Hatuibwari]

A dial for pH? Damn, shortcuts for lazy (or super busy) people I suppose. I'm pretty sure if you can't keep control of your water chemistry without the help of expensive gadgets then you don't need to have a tank at all.

[TheCajun124]

All this:Sharper Image" luxury and looks like Bill Gates would have this set up, and what do they put in it? Neon tetras. It would've been funnier if it was guppies but still.........

[mikaila31]

This is silly. It costed me about $600 to upgrade a non-planted 55gal to a high tech tank. Half of this stuff is not necessary, like who tests iron? Those that actually run tanks tend to know testing is rarely done, and how notorious tests are. You will also go broke using liquid ferts on a high demand tank. Thats why EI was created. I like fast growing plants, which need trimming on a weekly bases. My tanks can pay for their up keep in terms of fertilizer and CO2 costs, just by selling plants.

[Buffard1993]

step 8 send jbl 10 million dollars

[kurty132]

half these steps u don't even need they just want u to buy there products so they make more money but really u don't need them

[scheppach69]

Easy and cheaper way guys -just put the 7 balls in and if you get all steamed up dunk your own in there too, have fun with it!

[wndebu]

7 balls? lol 6:25

[schizobipolarjoe]

good video but people you don't need the cable heater you don't need expensive aquarium gravel,the c02 is only needing for high light/certin plants.

[wndebu]

All these "toys" are really nice and all but are not nessary. You can have a great planted tank with a great fertilizer like yamato green and a southern window. CO2 is your choice their are tons of DIY CO2 videos on here. The total cost = 25.00 vs 1,700 for the JBL. Natural light is were it's at. Don't believe the lie that algae will grow. The algae is destroyed by fast growing plants, algae eating fish, shrimp, or snail. However I would;nt mind the JBL Co2 system.

[AKA0987]

after trying a planted tank for my self, i realized that the plants are much more up keep than the fish! i still think some real plants are worth it because of how they keep the water clean by sucking up all the nitrates.

[diazman1991]

no doubt about the cost now. its way too expensive for starters. some of the items are not that important lol

[TheExoticFish]

Help Support The Exotic Fish ! Spread The Word About TheExoticFish . com

[redking133]

fucking awsome but fucking expensive

[NthSN1P3R]

and how much does this all cost?

[flowerbridge101]

nice nails

[Plakatwarrior]

It cost alot to set up a tank like this and to keep it going.

[XcxXcxViperxcXxcX]

Easy but not Cheap for me =(

[chris23a1]

does anyone know a cheap place to refill co2 canisters?

[MicromashMovies]

welding suppy stores always fill co2 cheap thats where i refil mine hope this helps!

[MyanmesKenny19]

welding supply shops

[joinapak]

@chris23a1 not sure if this would work but a paintball store(lol)

[ammarnek]

They totally stole Tetra's idea for this video. They just used their products. I would never trust that heater for my life.

[michaelaaa7]

Haha, whatever. I'll stick with just 10 hour light. no fert or co2 for me!!

[crosseyed55]

i think i'll stick to my Diy SUGAR+yeast as my CO2 source. it seems to be working fine for me.

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

its great, i started catching my co2 in a bell so it has more time to dissolve, fyi if u havent tried that already, less bottle changes needed :)

[Sk8pimp8]

are the red tubes good or bad

[indulgewinz]

marketing tactics, simply they are trying to fool around,, and there target are new hobbiest.

[radikborov]

Great, but too expensive. JBL is German company and these companies are usually expensive. I live in the Czech Republic and here is one Czech company too, but also expensive!

[mhdchan]

they should say at first:, hit play button only if u got us$5000 budget for aquarium.

[altuvei]

Absolutely funny :) :) lol

[oddysea682]

@mhdchan and besides they only seem to not sell em in the USA

[fish4ever24]

@mhdchan lol

[ENRIQUEGOITIA]

this video is good is your really serious and really want good healthy plant always...but prices are just to expensive and some people get better results with less technology in there tank

[Chad7309]

yea geothermal energy

[DJ0KNUF]

wtf: under gravel heater, does they have that in the nature to?

[kyknos]

In nature, they have NO heaters :). The problem with normal heater is that it warms only leaves and not roots - which is not healthy for the plants. It is like having your feet in cold. If your tank is in a warm room and does not need to be heated much, the gravel heater is not needed. If you warm the tank a lot, you need it to keep roots warm.

[pablo2cabrera]

Damn...this is more difficult than I thought, I think I better keep going with plastic plants...

[commonSagitario]

im not an millionare you know

[yakykee]

very good thanks :)

[IntegraGSR5]

toooooooooooooooo expensiveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­ee.

[TacticalSkum]

do the research yourself and don't rely on this as scripture

[ENRIQUEGOITIA]

wow this video is for people with deep pockets...damn so high tec...lol

[PSNjizzcake]

An under gravel heater? Give me a break

[BowHunt1229]

holy fuck.

[Catalinatophat]

Someone please tell me the name of the plants on the bottom of the tank at 0:23! please those are awesome!

[mhdchan]

it should say '7 expensive thing that u must buy' to successful planted tank!

[albinodean]

hyes if i have money but i dont im broke

[2ShaePussyCat]

All of this stuff costs hundreds or even a few thousand dollars :)

[nauris708]

if keeping a tank required all that shit i wouldnt have one.i wonder who actually uses this stuff.

[tkkamele]

Just so you guys know, almost all of the planted tanks you see that are amazing are set up with this equipment. We are talking about advanced aquarists. This is basically how I set up my planted aquariums after twenty years of experience. When you learn more you won't say such things. ADVANCED BOYS!

[nauris708]

just trying to hawk their product.very slik

[nauris708]

thankyou cornmillers.your sooo right

[Cornmillers]

Why do i feel like some are these arn't even needed but they're explained to make us buy it?

[maverlyjamaica]

haha agreed 100% man

[joinapak]

@Cornmillers called business my friend

[biggH99]

screw that. Way too expensive. I made my own co2 system, use substrate fertilizer and 2 4ft fl tubes and my plants are doing fine

[VampAro600]

I know right I learnt nothing but buy JBL.

I dont think so.

[leedshero]

i cant belive i watched all this...wierd :L

[Checkz3]

wow its hard and expensive
