The Tint episodes
- Eschewing the prep process- and the audacity of stubbornness.As the hobby revolves, new ideas come into play.. And “experiences” hobbyists love to trash them? Why? What can we learn from some of the basic processes that we preach in our hobby sector?16 min
- Mixing it up- going against what we know: The “substrate edition...”Oh yeah, I’m talking about the bottom again. Let’s think more about how “non conventional” substrate materials can perform all kinds of amazing things in our tanks. Today, we touch briefly once again on this tantalizing approach to “mixing it up” on the bottom of your aquariums!14 min
- Doing Nature more Naturally- A "Tint" special edition with Tai Strietman
In this special extended episode of "The Tint", Scott Fellman and Johnny Ciotti have a great discussion with one of our fave regulars, Tai Strietman. We talk about Tai's experiences with the natural aquatic habitats of Brazil, the threats they face, and how we as aquarists can better understand them and replicate them in our aquariums. A truly thorough episode with something for every botanical-style aquarium lover!
1 hr 34 min - Disruption? Or simply a nature’s process for change?We like to think of aquariums- and natural aquatic habitats- as stable, seldom changing ecosystems. Nothing could be further from the truth. Let’s look at how these processes work in the wild- and in our botanical-style aquariums.15 min
- Killifish and their terrestrial connections- questioning convention.I live annual killifishes. Why? Well, one reason is that they are so intimately tied to their aquatic habitats. And the aquatic habitats are so profoundly influenced by the surrounding terrestrial habitats. Yeah, you know where I’m going. We need to question some things we’ve been doing forever with killies. Maybe we can do them better?16 min
- The only “hacks” worth doing!I hate shortcuts, workarounds, and so-called “hacks”- for lots of reasons. On the other hand, there is a certain value in alternative approaches to how we do things for some hobbyists: have I softened a bit? Perhaps...14 min
- The “players” behind the process...A botanical style aquarium is not just a display. It’s a diverse, biologically rich ecosystem, filled with life. It’s important to understand the processes which make our systems so unique. Meet the players behind the process!12 min
- Another "botanical-style aquarium cocktail" with Scott and Johnny!In this special edition of "The Tint", Scott and Johnny Ciotti talk about some of our fave esoteric topics, like decomposition, biotope aquariums, and tease on a few new products. And of course, we take on several excellent questions from our community! Something for everyone in this typically irreverent and provocative episode!1 hr 4 min
- Back to the mud holes!Mud holes are amazing, ephemeral aquatic habitats. And they’re beautiful, because they get us out of our comfort zones and challenge us to try new stuff in the hobby- unconventional stuff we might never have considered before....12 min
- A certain (water) quality...There is a certain mystique about botanical-style aquariums, isn’t there? Like, how do we run a tank full of decomposing leaves and such over the long term with success? It’s simple. It’s starts with the basics. With a focus on quality...water quality.17 min
