Fincasters is your video fish fix. Where I share my love for aquariums.
Tackling the challenge of aquascaping a 55-gallon planted aquarium
Let's face it, the standard 55-gallon aquarium has difficult dimensions to create the beautiful aquascape many aquarium keepers want. In this video, I share my attempt to create a planted aquarium that goes from open rocks or iwagumi style to a densely planted section. I show how I tried to merge two different styles, giving fish a choice of being out in the open or hiding, while also making an aquarium design that is enjoyable to watch. In this video, I show you how I decided to strategically use rocks and driftwood for my hardscape before adding plants and then fish as well as Amano shrimp. I will take you step by step through he planting process while explaining the look I was hoping t...

How to make a Nature Aquarium.
Просмотров 8205 месяцев назад
How I made a beautiful planted aquarium using dragon stone, a wide variety of plants, and three kinds of substrate. In this video, I show you how I went step-by-step from planning to planting and fish selection. I'm no pro, but I've been keeping fish for decades. This was my first stab at nature style tank, and I'm pretty happy with the results. #natureaquarium #plantedtank #plantedaquarium #dr...

When someone gives you a rare and expensive Gem tang, you better take every precaution to make sure it arrives safely in its new home. In this case a massive aquarium with some potentially aggressive fish already living there. #reeftank #gemtang #aquarium #reefaquarium @melevsreef @carolinaaquatics6500 @centerinthesquare3081 @tsmaquaticsllc5452
Massive Corals for a massive aquarium! | Episode 222

In this Fincast, (better known as an aquarium video) I show you what it takes to try and fill a huge aquarium with corals. The fish tank is big enough that it takes a diver to do the work! This aquarium is a part of the atrium display at Center in the Square in Roanoke, Va., where the team from Carlin Aquarium Systems is upgrading the 10-year-old reef with new rockwork, and of course more coral...

There are big reef aquariums and then there are the ones you dive in. And for this project, the team at Carlin Aquarium Systems really got our feet wet! Watch as we dismantle parts of the nearly 10-year-old reef and add on nearly a whole palette of live rock to give the fish and corals a new home and the public something new to look at.
Saving my 180 Reef! | Episode 220

My 180 Reef system started leaking on the hardwood floor and the only way to fix it was to take it all down. If there is ever a time to upgrade, it's now! So I added a better stand and a Trigger Systems Platinum sump with a fleece roller system. AND... I had to save three massive coral colonies along the way as well as smaller corals and of course the fish. It made for an epic day of aquarium k...
So Long 180 reef | Episode 219

My 180-gallon reef tank sprang a leak. It's time to take it down and fix the problem. But that creates another issue. Do I keep my damselfish, or now that I can catch them is it time to say goodbye. I've become attached to them in an odd kind of way even though they are terrors and make it impossible ti introduce new fish. What would you do?

The Peacemaker is a way to put fish in an aquarium without them being chased into corners by the fish already in the tank. It’s a clear acrylic box that allows the new fish to live in the tank for days or longer so they can get used to the water and the fish already living in the aquarium can get used to them. Upon release, the new fish will not suffer the aggression typically associated with t...
Low Tech Saltwater Invert Tank | Episode 217

Can you keep a basic saltwater aquarium with just a kit from Wal-Mart or another big box store. Yes! In this video I go through my goal of having an invert focused tank set up in a 29 gallon box set. Using a basic hang on back filter, a bit of live rock, some dry rock and some patience, I've been able to stock the aquarium with some cool saltwater stuff including some awesome fish.
A planted Tank Discus Project | Episode 216

Some people build their aquarium around discus. I went the other way. My discus were added to a well-established planted aquarium. There were already fish living happily in the tank, and for the most part, I just left them. That included a pair of Leulupi, which don't live in planted tanks and do not live with discus. But they do here! Hear me out on this one. In this video I talk about adding ...
Reef makeover! Episode 215 Making room for more corals. Sorry fish.
Просмотров 9243 года назад
The Fincasters Coral reef needed a bit of love. The original design began to show its flaws as I started looking for more places for coral. So... I dove in and undid what I had originally loved! The new design is a bit spare right now, but it’s a start. The original design was intended to favor the fish over corals. But over time, my need to plant more corals won out. Please tell me what you th...
Shell Dwellers The Gold Ocellatus Episode 214
Просмотров 4,2 тыс.4 года назад
Shell Dwellers are great little cichlids. I set up an aquarium for gold ocellatus and added a few leleupi to add some color. Lamprologus Ocellatus are known for being fun and feisty little cichlids that defend their shells even though they are tiny compared to most fish. They come from Lake Tanganyika in Africa and are found throughout the lake. The Leleupi (Neolamprologus leleupi) are a torped...
All About the Black Tetra in your Aquarium
Просмотров 75 тыс.4 года назад
The Black Tetra also called the Black Widow Tetra or Black Skirt Tetra is an aquarium favorite but is it over looked? In this video I take a look at this fish, which is available in practically every fish store. You might look right past the black tetra in search of something less common but should you. The lovable black tetra has a place in many home aquariums. There are a couple of small prec...
New Finnex Light and New Plants

In this video, I install a new LED light from Finnex the Finnex 247 or 24/7. A key future of the light is a built in sunrise to sunset lighting cycle. We'll put it to the test but since there is a new light... I had to add some new plants! Including a cool red plant called Alternathera Reineckii Rosanervig. I also glued some dwarf baby tears to a bunch of golf ball sized rocks to see how that w...

In this Fincast I show you how I added a powerful Tunze 6105 powerhead to my 180 gallon reef aquarium. The tank is doing great, but the current was leaving a dead spot in the front of the tank and depositing a bunch of unsightly crud in a bad spot. I could have just cleaned it up but why do that when there is the chance to play with a fun new piece of aquarium tech?! I bought a Tunze Turbelle S...

Flatworms in the marine aquarium | Episode 194
Just bought one yesterday. One of my favorite fish along with the checkered rainbowfish, guppies, black emperor tetras, and the pearl gourami. The Threadfin really likes to hang out with the scissortail rasboras. What is the fish in the bottom left corner at 7:33? Some kind of tetra?
5:11
Black skirts are my absolute favorite fish to the point it *pains me* to see so much misinformation out there Don't believe people saying that 15 or 20 gallons is fine for them, these are active mid-sized fish that need nothing less than 30 gallons, with bigger being better
Damsel in distress...fantastic
Do Ora fish still need to be quarantined? Or have they beed through a qt process or does these disese not happen to ORA fish. I would pay more if I ididn have to qt a fish!
Starting at 6:15 and finish at 7:45.
Apisto’s might eat your shrimp..
I was worried about that. But the shrimp were mostly big enough that it's been ok. I did add some smaller reds and they got nabbed!
meep
Not sure what you’re keeping but cichlids from Lake Tanganyika are definitely not grey or plain at all.
Black skirt tetra is my favorite fish of all time
Thank you
Very interesting
Thank you
Very interesting
This is really awesome! Keep it up 🙏🏻 3-26-24
I have 5 full grown Angel fish, 10 Long fin Black Tetras and 8 Cory Dora. Zero issues. 55 tall.
it disintigrates better in lime
Your background noise are annoying as hell
Picked up 6 full size have been keeping them in 10G while i am letting the plant shrimp population flourish for awhile in a 90 G. Very beautiful and always hungry. Feeding sera flake, live maquito larva, scuds, BBB, frozen live foods. Half the time i feed flake. PH 7.2 . They are not to picky on water conditions and are very fast. So in a big aquarium with big Cory catfish. I might try to breed but the price is reasonable. Anyone any luck breeding?
Have a group of 25 in a 4 foot 120 gal with rummynose and a few black neons planted. R/o water with tds of 121ppm. Beautiful fish. At night with lights lower the males like to spar for females attention. Pretty amazing to watch

Thanks 🤗
Woah a video!
Ben sent me! I was just exchanging aquarium photos with him and he told me about your channel. 🐟
Welcome!! Beware - Aquascaping is contagious!
Looks great!
Thanks!
😊😊❤very beautiful tank awesome video amazing aquaescaping
Thank you very much!
Your welcome anytime my friend 😊
Thanks!
Your 👍🏾 welcome anytime 😊
Beautiful tank!!
Thank you!
Lucky me, I just got four of these for $4. They were 'rescues' from Petco.
does it kill snails?
I use the box for only an hour or so, then I release the fish and turn off the lights.
Maybe some fish need a strong current to survive.
Very nice tank. This plant is such a cool plant.
Thanks!
This company does a horrible job painting these, I don't understand why they keep painting them this horrible and always in the same 4 colors, looks so ugly
Breed them in bare bottom tank. Feed the fries microworms.
To me a lot of mucking around. I just get wood and broken down leaves from my local pond throw them in a container with dechlorinated water and my aquarium is done and balanced in a week. Don't buy what's free, and don't waste time placing crap. Each to their own I suppose. I get he tannin look dark and sometimes light depending on the leaves and wood.
I bred Convicts and Kribensis successfully many moons ago. Theres a liquid drip solution for fry that worked for me. Cichlid fry need microscopic food. Liquifry or something similar.
My brass tetras glow almost snow white on top! Cameras just cant capture what the baked eye sees. The white on top glows/pops much like that beautiful blue stripe of a neon tetra. They are somewhat pricey here, at 7 dollars each, especially once you get whatcha need for a "school" of um. But they're worth it. Active & fun to watch. My 55g is full of nanos, thats all thats in there.. i love watching all the different colors of my schools of nanos❤
I love that .can you use driftwood with imbuna
So when I tried madagascar lace before and it died back it wasn't dead it was just dormant?
What kind of pleco at time stamp 2:58?
What is that little cichlid looking fish at time stamp 2:49?
I love them to
I feel like i'm waiting for the fish to split into teams and start playing sports every time I hear your voice! Are you a sportscaster?
Its kind of funny it ended up in Canada . I live in Nebraska nothing tropical will never survive and I'm days away from saltwater.
The research and development team really did their homework on this one
The basket is a game changer
Just bought 2 tidal 75s for my 125 I'm excited to see how it does
How the heck do you have a trigger in a reef tank?
I have 3 tanks set up that way..leave them in there natural state...we as humans want to see some fancy pretty tank ..THINK WHERE THEY REALLY come FROM...NATURE..IS KEY...
Love the tank...
Do they like a lot of rocks ? And plants ? What do they like too spawn on ? Tia.
A little late to the party here, but I saw the part about “dipping” the Walking Dendro. Isn’t that ill advised, since you can very well kill the peanut worm ??
