Crystal Clear Aquarium Water - (Easier than you think)

I have a 3 spong filer, bio, chemical and mechanical, where do I add the pollyfill too? I also bought the green killer wave runner machine as well. My biggest problem is over feeding them, so I'm gonna cut it in half, n come bck to u in a month

Hello, I have a question, I seen you had a pink convict cichlid in your tank. I have 7 or 8 of them. I got all my from 2 of them from my original 2 fish, I bought. They had so many fry, I gave most of them to the fish store. But I kept 8 of them. My question is what kind of other cichlids can I put with them. Because my are aggressive and territory

How do you stop brown algae???

Kev, good video! Thanks for the info. For my 50 Gal fish tank, no matter what I do, the white cloudiness just doesn't go away, even with new water change. I only have sponge filter, is that the reason? Please help!

With regards to the polyfil.....how often would you change it, and it's going to be full of beneficial bacteria, so when you change it are you causing a big reduction of beneficial bacteria. I understand that it is everywhere, on your rocks, driftwood, glass, basically everything in the tank. Is the premise that enough beneficial bacteria exists that swapping out the polyfil won't affect the tank? I currently run 2 HOB's and a sponge filter on a 75 gal. I have polyfil in both my HOB's.

Cant seem to get rid of a surface film, any suggestions?

Hi. At the moment I have a 24 litre tank, I just purchased a 180 litre tank. I want to know if I ad the water from my small tank into the bigger one if it's safe to transfer my fish or if should I wait and cycle the new tank. I'm a newly to this hobby.

How do you know how much to feed?

Hi Kev,
I have watched so many of your videos and have learnt so much.
I have an aquarium for over 10 years that ran like a dream, gave it the occasional vac and maybe cleaned the filter twice a year.
I now have a new tank and filter (FX6) and the tank is just over 200 gallons (788litres)
I have just added a 35kg Mallee Root to the tank and it is giving off tannins bad!!!
I have matrix and Chemi Pure Blue (thanks to you) in the bottom of the filter, then the standard FX6 filter stuff in the middle and I have just put 250g of Purigen (about three days ago) in the top between the sponges to try and get rid of the tannins but it doesn't seem to be working. Please help. what else can I try? The tank is sooooo dark.

Cave man??? Shiiiiit~~ more like rocket scientist.

Hello Kave m a new fish tank lover just bought a 30 G tank was wondering how do I add water to it n how do I change water

Can I add Oscar to fresh water or is it a salt water fish

I want to say thank you for everything bro you pretty much taught me everything I need to know about my fish. I love them they’re still juveniles, but I know I’m going to have fun with them Thank you.

How often do you need to clean the spong filter

Can i use water with soft ener?

What do you do to clear up a brown algae outbreak in African ciclid tank ?

I'm using 2 40 gallon sponge filters in my 37 gallon tank.

Hey Kev, thanks for the great advise and videos, and if I see it correctly in the photo on the wall, THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE!! I am going to add Poly-fil, as I am constantly struggling with hazy water, do you rinse it first, or just add it in?

Using api bio media water care plus

Thanks buddy.

Hy buddy do u have a number where i could send u a video

Hallo. I like your videos, I am new in the hobby and have a 20 gallon tank with 4 guppies currently with one panda cory and one albino pleco. I have been struggling with nitrate and ammonia spikes. I did 2 water changes and cleaned the substrate thoroughly. I lost 6 guppies before this. I have a filter that came with the tank and also bought a rock bubbler. Do I need a bigger filter for the aquarium? I want to add more panda's and guppies to fill out the schools again.

Hey caveman I have a 210 gallon tank what’s a good rlly strong air pump and stone I can use for it ? What do you use? I do have 2 wavemakers but I also want to add a air pump I currently have one but it’s not strong enough it won’t make the air stone I’m using put out as much bubbles as it should

What kind of wave maker do I need for a 40 gallon tank is 3000 L/H enough

Me when I did a water change and my tank looks crystal clear:

You got my tank loooking 🔥🔥🔥 thank you!

thank you for the video, what is that white speaker looking thing on the side of your tank?

i love your tutorials so thank you for those. I love fancy goldfish and have two tanks - I have 2 x 15cm black moors in one tank and 2 small orandas and a ryukin in the other tank. I am struggling with ammonia spikes and unstable ph on occasions and water that is not crystal clear. I do everything that i supposed to ie: water changes, maintenance of filters but never on water change day. I monitor all perameters regularly. I am suspecting that i am guilty of overfeeding my fish - i cant resist the way they beg for it. Either that or my filters are not doing their job. I use a Seachem HOB and I also have Aqua One filters that attach to inside the tank. I also make sure that I have the 3 types of media and I use Seachem products such as: Prime, Stability, Equilibrium (tank water) and Purigen when needed. Any tips and advice is greatly appreciated.
What are the most efficient filters for my grubby goldfish and how much should I feed them?????

Scrubbing inside of glass wall would remove good bacteria that grow in the wall?

I finally can get to see my tank water so crystal clear!!! THANK YOU MAN! Almost a year of trying to figure it out and thanks to your videos I achieve it!!!! This man is pure GOLD! Thanks so much!!!

I was wondering if chemi-pure was safe to leave in your canister filter for up to a month, or will it become toxic??

Quick question, how many times would you reuse your poly-fill/filter wool, and how would you know when to replace them? Love the content! Thanks so much! Super informative!

Hey KaveMan. I could guess but thought I'd just ask.... What type are the rocks in the tank right at the start of the video? Thanks for your awesome content.

Thanks dude, you’re the man. You just resolve a problem I have with my mbuna yellow lab tank, I have cloudy water due to over feeding, yeh I guess we are all guilty of doing this. I’m now going to take a large s-once filter from one of the five tanks and put it in the cloudy water tank, I’m confident this with do the trick, plus I have turned off the lights and stopped feeding my mbuna tank for a couple of days. Thanks again for your advice. Best regards.

If you take the sponge filter and put it in a different tank with tap water won’t that water kill the bacteria in the sponge

Can i use cotton ball or wool ? I can’t find poly fill in Australia 🥲

Ive been in the hobby off and on since 1980, still learning,
Thats what I love about this hobby, was so much harder in the 80's, 90s, 2000, no internet.
Now so much info,
Love your channel my friend, always learning something, im 64...

Want is the name of the hood you have for the tank

I put a tidal 110 on my 55gal. Wow the water is very clear. I use to.

Couple times a day. Got three silver dallors. One cory catfish. Two angelfish

This is the best Aquarium channel on YT.

Hey Kav! I am new to this hobby and recently subscribed to your channel. I have 10 gallon tank, medium stock, as of no live plants.
I bought the cannister filter, can you help me understand if I need to keep the filter ON 24x7 or is it ok to keep it off during night?
Appreciate your time and help.

Hi Kevin have you tried ANTOLE Aquarium Filter Media,8D 7Layers

? What do you think? Is it good? Do you recommend it?

Is a sponge filter benificial to have in a salt water tank?

I have a 40 gallon tank. With about six fish. How long does Purigen work for?

Thanks. Can I use seachem pristine for detritus? I can't use wave because it's a tetra guppy tank

Where can I purchase those fake stacked rocks? I really don’t want to deal with real rocks if I don’t have to. Thanks Kaveman for all of your info. It is so appreciated.

Can I use a sponge filter if I already have an over the back filter? Also can I use poly fill in an over the back filter?

*While filming this video about "crystal clear water" my filter decided to start spitting up some junk and made my water look terrible. 🤦‍♂️ Unfortunately I didn't realize until post editing. But instead of scrapping the whole video I decided it still has plenty of helpful information for all of you that need it. So I'll take the criticisms of a dirty tank on the chin like a champ. Enjoy! 😊*
