My First Ever Fish Tank (0 Experience Setup, Day 89-126)

Yes, this is my first aquarium ever. I've been trying to get into the hobby since the pandemic, but due to life circumstances, I couldn't. On the bright side, I had plenty of time to research, and over those years, I fell in love with the Iwagumi style. So, I decided to take on the challenge and make my first aquarium a planted tank.

This was a month of big changes. We added fish! Otocinclus affinis and Tanichthys albonubes (Chinese Neon). The first ones are great algae eaters and the latter schooling fish, that's why we added 7 individuals. In addition, we also have new plants. As background plants, we have the Rotala Rotundifolia H'ra, and at the front are some Staurogyne Repens and Lobelia Cardinalis Mini. Also, you can see the first week of this tank without me (because I went on vacation for 1 whole week). The tank is doing great; the Neocaridina shrimp team had 1 loss, but the others are doing fine. As well as the Monte Carlo, which is carpeting really well.

A few things I want to point out: First, you'll see a lot of prices in this video. It's important to note that this video is not sponsored; the prices are meant to inform and clarify the costs of these types of projects. You'll also notice that I use a lot of second-hand equipment; the main reason is to show that high-tech tanks can be done for cheaper than you might expect (though for me, it's still a lot of money). Second, I want to mention the main inspiration for this video: @FootheFlowerhorn. You may or may not know his channel, but for me, it has the best aquarium content, and I am very grateful for all the practical information he provides.

I think that's all. Have a nice one!
