This music makes me think of a sultry scene in a movie or classy porno where people start making out by a fire place. It's really soothing when accompanied to the scenes of a fish tank, though.
@tyler361549 Oh sorry. I think in germany we would call it literally translated "milk glass". After asking a translator website I think you call it in english "alabaster glass", "frosted glass" or "opal glass"? Here in germany you can get usual glass fishtanks or those which are with "milk glass".. "milk glass" is more expansive and looks pretty awesome.. little bit more clear and with some beaty white reflections. Its more high quality and good for aquascaping.
@VideosVonDennis And your tank just has this effect on the glass. But it might be your lights. However.. your tank looks nice. I should also place a small tank near my computer. Looks relaxing. :)
@VideosVonDennis the tank he has dosen't have milk glass,milk glass is just like regular glass but it dosen't have the green tint to it.It's also much more expensive.
@iownudie108 I just thought because of the beaty white/blue/green reflections on the corners.. but it might be due to the high lights then. I just dont have the same reflections in my fish tank. I have usual glass tank.
@subtleserveyor Id say it took about 3 - 4 months. That glass thing is called a drop checker and the liquid inside changes color depending on how much co2 is in the tank. Green means good.
@subtleserveyor Thanks. I'm pretty sure that's baby dwarf tears, right? I got mine a couple of weeks ago, and there's minimal growth. I do a simple DIY CO2 injection w/ an air stone. I have a simple 10 gal. hood on my tank that came with two bulbs.. not sure about the wattage. Do you think I need to upgrade my technology in order for them to grow better/faster, or should I just hope for the best.
Oh and I still have that "new tank syndrome" brown algae. IDK if that's affecting it?
@subtleserveyor Yes, its dwarf baby tears. I don't know how much co2 your creating but since its just a 10 gallon it shouldn't be hard to get more if you need it by just adding more bottles or using a bigger one. Need lights that imitate the sun, they need to be the proper spectrum like 6,700 kelvin. If you are using just regular incandescent bulbs then I think that would be a problem. New tank syndrome shouldn't harm the plants.
@77MAD77MAD77 Yes, its made specially for aquariums. Its called aquasoil. They are like little balls of dirt. I've had them for a long time and they still hold their shape.
@cruzer93718 Nope, not moss. It is called Hemianthus callitrichoides. Search it on Google, its also called Dwarf Baby Tears or just HC. I got mine from aquariumplants (dot) com
@Superthecod The plants I have are Hemianthus Callitrichoides, Anubia Nana, and Hygrophila Difformis. Hemianthus Callitrichoides also known as Dwarf Baby Tears or just HC is the carpet plant.
@tyler361549 How long did it take you to grow it that dense? How much did you start out with? I just planted some in my tank... we'll see how it goes.
@cloudinfinity It took about 3 - 4 months to cover the bottom, it was short then which is how I wanted it to stay but it started getting tall like you see it in this video. I think I started out with about 5 - 6 pots.
hey bud, how long do you keep your lights on everyday? I have recently planted baby tears HC but havent seen any growth. I am working on putting Co2 which i know is must. I heard keeping lights on too long will promote algae?
@giordano808 Lo ha fatto coprire tutto il fondo, ma ha fatto la mia piccola vasca guardare e ha preso troppo spazio così ho preso tutti fuori tranne per quello che vedi. Ho usato Google Translate per questo, io non conoscono l'italiano.
@CJVillanueva It is a Current USA 36" Nova Extreme T-5 Fixture 2x39W 10K/Freshwater Model # 1128. I got it from Big Als Online, just search for 1128 and it comes up.
@tyler361549 I just can't grow my Hemianthus, I don't know why it won't grow. Any tips? Maybe I need more light? Your aquarium seems to have a much brighter look.
@Dangcosmo I think you need more light, CO2 and fertilizers. I would say you need better substrate but I have seen it grown on rocks and logs so I guess that doesn't matter. Your ratio of light to water volume is less than mine and you tank is probably taller than mine which makes the light farther away and less intense.
@tyler361549 Hey, yesterday I've bought some reflectors for both lights and I'm adding fertilizers AND I have my custom bio CO2 system, it works. Should be working now, I can see hemianthus has grown a tiny bit since yesterday.
@Dangcosmo Thats awesome, I'm sure they will. Mine started getting really tall, I think they were reaching for the light. I think if I had maybe double the light they would have stayed really low to the ground like a carpet, which is what I was going for but I didn't want to spend almost $100 for more light.

BTW: the plants on the very right side along the glass don't look like they belong under water. "Aquatic Plants" in petco are often terrarium plants who's roots can survive fully submerged. You may be able to grow them in a terrarium with high moisture.
@AquaticHeaven What do you mean day 1, because it looks newly planted? The dwarf baby tears on the left used to cover the whole bottom, the ones on the right are new though. Those are aquatic plants, I made sure because I know most of the ones they sell are not. I put the scientific name in the description, you can Google it, it grows like a weed.
@wolvid The Fluval is a 205 and the lighting is a Current USA Nova Extreme fixture model number 1128. Its 36 inches long and has two T5HO bulbs for a total of 78 watts.
nice setup, i wouldn't use the hornworth plant though. they're very fast growing plants once settled in and will block out the light. i used to have it and ahd to trim every 4 days
It tells me how much co2 is in the water. It has water in it that is at a certain ph and then they add the liquid to it that is used when testing for ph. The co2 level of the tank water is going to equalize with the water in the ball and alter its ph which makes it change color. Green means good.
@skaterg807 Those plants in the corner are Wisteria (Hygrophila difformis). They say dwarf baby tears needs high light and co2 and even then people have trouble growing it. I on the other hand have it growing in a tank with moderate light and no co2 and it is slowly forming a carpet. So you could try it if you wanted, it is possible.
@skaterg807 I think gravel will work because it can be grown on dritwood and rocks. But if your not using co2, high lighting or a fertile substrates then you are kinda stacking the odds against yourself. Try it though, it may work. Leave them in the pot and plant it so the top is at ground level and maybe they will spread onto the gravel. Maybe that would help?
@supertasticasian No its not a Coralife fixture, its a Current USA light fixture with 2 T5HO 39W bulbs. The carpet was nice but it was getting too tall so I took it out. Not enough light I think.
@tyler361549 oh, well, those light fixtures look really similar :P You could do a diy bulb mod for VHO or use some cheap shop lights. The shoplight one cost around 50 bucks for a 48" mod at 124-160watts
wow... u have exactly the same fishes that i have. except the yellow barbs lol u even have the lil chinese algae eater at the start! do u by any chance live in nz?
@d2jsp911 The lights are on a timer but the co2 is not. The lights are off by the time I go to bed and the lights don't turn on till after I get up. So, I just turn the co2 off when I go to bed and turn in back on when I get up. Usually it is on for 2 hours before the lights come on. I have the lights on for 8 hours. You should get a drop checker if your going to use co2.
@tyler361549 I have a Co2 checker, the timer for Co2 and the light too. I setup them turn on at the same time but when the light and the Co2 turn on at the same time so my Co2 checker detected Co2 going to the water after 2hours later. I think, the better I have to turn on the Co2 2hours before the light turn on because the plants can consume Co2 when the light on. Do you using fertile daily or one time when you make the water change?
@d2jsp911 I fertilize the most right after a water change and then I add as needed to keep the levels up. I would use the EI method but if I do a 50% water change it kills my shrimp because there is a big difference in the ph from the tap and in the tank. EI stands for estimative index, if you didnt know. Google it and you will find plenty of info on it.
hey man need your help can u tell me how do u keep ur water so clean i do 25 to 50%water changes every week but it looks like every time i clean it get worse and other thing i have real plants too but they get like a algae all over them do you know what am i doing wrong and nice tank by the way hope u write me back thanks
@jvucket You can try leaf zone, its easy. Not fertilizing isn't your problem. If you have cloudy water is could be because your tank isn't cycled. If its green you have an algae bloom. You can also use flourish excel for your plants. You should make a video of your tank.
Great tank!! I'm a beginner. I have 10gal tank with tetras and mollies. Should I turn off the light at nights? Also, I have java moss with T5 15 watts - Is this enuf for growth?
@d2jsp911 What do you mean by "they get all grew"? Do you mean they melted? If he didn't grow them under water then they will have to adapt when you put them into your tank. They usually do that by melting and looking like they are dieing or dead. But they will come back again ready to grow under water. So be patient.
@d2jsp911 Im not sure, I bought mine from someone who grows it underwater. If I were you I would join a forum, just type in "planted tank forum" in Google. You will have lots of people helping you and they can give you a more accurate answer to your question than I am capable of.
@tyler361549 Do you still have your tank with baby tears HC growing? could you please sale for me some so I could try. I'll pay you by paypal and you send Baby tears HC to me?
@d2jsp911 I don't have them any more. The ones you see in this video used to cover the whole bottom of the tank. I just left that little bit and eventually got rid of that too. But that doesn't matter because you can get them from aquariumplants (.) com. That is where is got mine and they are grown under water so if that is your problem then that should remedy it. If I still had them I would gladly send you some for free but that is where I got mine so you should be okay.
@dyjital Thanks for the comment. When I made the video I used a song from their music library. It was just a random song and I don't know what it is. I tried to look and see if I could find it anywhere but apparently it doest say what the song is. If you know how to find out let me know.
@pappaellio Well people say its hard to grow but I cant kill the stuff. I took it all out of my tank and stopped adding fertz or co2 and there is some that got stuck in my moss and it is still growing, just really slow. So, you can try it but I cant say if it will work or not. It would be better to have a different substrate and to add fertz though.
@pappaellio gravel and DIY can't grow Dwarf Baby Tears for sure because i have rich substrate eco-completed and mix with ADA amazon substrate, co2 tank and Good fertile but they still can't grow.
5 minutes ago How do you grow Hemianthus callitrichoides under water so well? I having problem of growing it, it turn to darker green and slowlier weaker and smaller then dissapear T.Teven i use co2 and also fertilization. Inorder to save species i plant it submerged, and it grow well submerged. somebody help me !please
@remousez Yours was probably grown grown out of water then sold to you. Then you try to grow it underwater and it has to adjust, it looks like its dieing and will start growing again. That is probably what is happening. Other than that just give it nutrients.

@Cheddar254 Its an anubias plant, an anubias nana. Its a really easy plant to grow, you can just throw it in and it'll grow. I think if you tie it to a rock it will eventually attach to it.

But if your not using co2, high lighting or a fertile substrates then you are kinda stacking the odds against yourself. Try it though, it may work. Leave them in the pot and plant it so the top is at ground level and maybe they will spread onto the gravel. Maybe that would help?

you've got the same coralife t5ho fixture as well? i need to pick up a co2 unit :P would love to have a thick carpet like that
supertasticasian 1 year ago
@supertasticasian No its not a Coralife fixture, its a Current USA light fixture with 2 T5HO 39W bulbs. The carpet was nice but it was getting too tall so I took it out. Not enough light I think.
tyler361549 1 year ago
@tyler361549 oh, well, those light fixtures look really similar :P You could do a diy bulb mod for VHO or use some cheap shop lights. The shoplight one cost around 50 bucks for a 48" mod at 124-160watts

@andysketch4 The only moss I have is on the right side of the tank on top of the drift wood. I believe it is weeping moss.

Hi, do you let the Co2 running 2hours before the light turn on or the Co2 and the light all turn on at the same time for 8hours a day? Thanks
d2jsp911 1 year ago
@d2jsp911 The lights are on a timer but the co2 is not. The lights are off by the time I go to bed and the lights don't turn on till after I get up. So, I just turn the co2 off when I go to bed and turn in back on when I get up. Usually it is on for 2 hours before the lights come on. I have the lights on for 8 hours. You should get a drop checker if your going to use co2.
tyler361549 1 year ago
@tyler361549 I have a Co2 checker, the timer for Co2 and the light too. I setup them turn on at the same time but when the light and the Co2 turn on at the same time so my Co2 checker detected Co2 going to the water after 2hours later. I think, the better I have to turn on the Co2 2hours before the light turn on because the plants can consume Co2 when the light on. Do you using fertile daily or one time when you make the water change?
d2jsp911 1 year ago
@d2jsp911 I fertilize the most right after a water change and then I add as needed to keep the levels up. I would use the EI method but if I do a 50% water change it kills my shrimp because there is a big difference in the ph from the tap and in the tank. EI stands for estimative index, if you didnt know. Google it and you will find plenty of info on it.

@jvucket Is your tank cycled, do you fertilize any? Hard tell what could be causing your problem.
tyler361549 1 year ago
@tyler361549 no i didn't fertilize them sorry im new with real plants do u know where could i get some fertilizer?
jvucket 1 year ago
@jvucket You can try leaf zone, its easy. Not fertilizing isn't your problem. If you have cloudy water is could be because your tank isn't cycled. If its green you have an algae bloom. You can also use flourish excel for your plants. You should make a video of your tank.

Thanks!

@pappaellio Yes, turn the lights off at night. The fish need it. Your Java moss will grow fine with that light.

d2jsp911 1 year ago
@d2jsp911 What do you mean by "they get all grew"? Do you mean they melted? If he didn't grow them under water then they will have to adapt when you put them into your tank. They usually do that by melting and looking like they are dieing or dead. But they will come back again ready to grow under water. So be patient.

@tyler361549 if they not die so how long its start to grow? some of them start to grow just alittle but they look not healthy like your HC.
d2jsp911 1 year ago
@d2jsp911 Im not sure, I bought mine from someone who grows it underwater. If I were you I would join a forum, just type in "planted tank forum" in Google. You will have lots of people helping you and they can give you a more accurate answer to your question than I am capable of.
tyler361549 1 year ago
@tyler361549 Do you still have your tank with baby tears HC growing? could you please sale for me some so I could try. I'll pay you by paypal and you send Baby tears HC to me?
d2jsp911 1 year ago
@d2jsp911 I don't have them any more. The ones you see in this video used to cover the whole bottom of the tank. I just left that little bit and eventually got rid of that too. But that doesn't matter because you can get them from aquariumplants (.) com. That is where is got mine and they are grown under water so if that is your problem then that should remedy it. If I still had them I would gladly send you some for free but that is where I got mine so you should be okay.

@dyjital Thanks for the comment. When I made the video I used a song from their music library. It was just a random song and I don't know what it is. I tried to look and see if I could find it anywhere but apparently it doest say what the song is. If you know how to find out let me know.

I have gravel and DIY in my freshwater tank.
What do I need to grow Dwarf Baby Tears?
pappaellio 1 year ago
@pappaellio Well people say its hard to grow but I cant kill the stuff. I took it all out of my tank and stopped adding fertz or co2 and there is some that got stuck in my moss and it is still growing, just really slow. So, you can try it but I cant say if it will work or not. It would be better to have a different substrate and to add fertz though.
tyler361549 1 year ago
@pappaellio gravel and DIY can't grow Dwarf Baby Tears for sure because i have rich substrate eco-completed and mix with ADA amazon substrate, co2 tank and Good fertile but they still can't grow.

I having problem of growing it, it turn to darker green and slowlier weaker and smaller then dissapear T.Teven i use co2 and also fertilization. Inorder to save species i plant it submerged, and it grow well submerged. somebody help me !please
remousez 1 year ago
@remousez Yours was probably grown grown out of water then sold to you. Then you try to grow it underwater and it has to adjust, it looks like its dieing and will start growing again. That is probably what is happening. Other than that just give it nutrients.

@Cheddar254 Its an anubias plant, an anubias nana. Its a really easy plant to grow, you can just throw it in and it'll grow. I think if you tie it to a rock it will eventually attach to it.
