Today is a huge day for the 600L Dream Tank! We are finally adding 5 new species, including some of the most vibrant fish I’ve ever kept (hopefully). However, one of these additions is a total "Marmite" fish you’re either going to love it or absolutely hate it.

I’ve been waiting a long time to find the right stock for this setup, but did I go too far with the final choice? Watch to see the full reveal and let me know in the comments: Is it a masterpiece or a mistake?

I prefer your dialogue while you are doing things. I’m new getting back into fish keeping & your knowledgeable banter is a great learning experience for me.

I prefer when you show the full process - timelapsed is lovely to watch

I think the planting with music thing really depends on the reason that people are watching your videos. I think for people who are setting up a tank or getting that information they only need to know one step! but I know a lot of us just watch your content because we enjoy spending time listening to you talk about things that we’re all passionate about. I also watch these videos while I’m doing my own maintenance, so I guess it depends on why people are watching.

Can't be the only one that thinks the pocket on the back is genius. 🧐 Brilliantly bonkers!

I like the sped up clips with music! Love the tank!

@Hokuiliiliili 8 months ago

I like your running commentary because you do a lot of explanation, saying WHY you chose something and what the results will be. I also enjoy the musical speeded up action, after all if I have watched you plant 5 things I understand how to plant. But you are just the best because I understand the whys and the consequences.

@Jhiggy76 8 months ago

I prefer you talking while performing the scape building. The music is great from time to time but the reason I watch is for the information/opinions.

@marekpurgat 8 months ago

I like full videos with you doing what you doing and sharing your knowledge and ideas

@matthewf20 7 months ago

To be honest I often skip over the planting/time lapse stuff. Love the commentated/dialogue parts of the your videos. I've learnt loads.

@SunshineInYourHeart 8 months ago

I really like seeing all the build and the speed up is a nice way to incorporate it all, without making a 2 hour video😂 not that I'd mind that but youtube world doesn't like them😅 thank you for all the information and help you put out😃

Just pinch the hose when it fills with sands. It will drop out and your syphon will still activate when you release the pinch.

I like that you respect your viewer's time by moving past the repetition. I was literally thinking that a few videos back.

@seansmith5904 8 months ago

The skips to the next step is handy. I do love a musical montage too though!

@1993KJD 8 months ago

I like the sped up clips. Music or no music doesn’t matter much IMO. Showing all of the planting is very transparent and also brings continuity to the build. Even if it’s maintenance like this it’s interesting and educational to see the whole process of a tanks evolution. Beautiful tank ❤

@kiml6302 1 month ago

I prefer a mix, love the dialogue, but also enjoy the sped up planting montages, lol.And loads of fish footage. Side note, it's been an age since we saw your reef tank... Can we get an update?

@anndebaldo7381 8 months ago

I learn so much from your commentary that I'd prefer more rather than less commentary!

Rainbow fish look best in morning sunlight when they are all trying to get freaky 😊

@GrowMoreVeggies 8 months ago

While I like the sped up bits with music, I really like the knowledge you share while you're chatting. You've been keeping fish longer than I have, and in that time you've gathered a lot of wisdom and tricks. Good and/or bad, those tidbits are great for averting potential issues I've not yet thought of.

honestly i like watching the whole "some here some over there" placing of plants i like learning how people space out their plants and how they do it, i always end up having my plants coming out when i go to put the second one in myself lol sped up or not music or talking im down for all options
