it looks great Rachel ive a chance of getting a 125 gallon tank its been sat in a garden for about two years filled with water , the problem is its a rimless tank and it has no centre brace ,will it be ok over time or should i try and get a brace of some kind for it , i heard they can bow out if they havent got one .im a bit concerned s its going in my bedroom downstairs with my other smaller tanks .
thanks jordan does it have to be made of glass the same thickness as the tank glass, or are there ones i can buy that clip on or something . we did have 4foot tanks back in the 70s and all of those had a centre brace it was a bit of a pain to get bog wood in some of them though . i,ll have a look around see what i can find for it .
@@loftyskies123 I would use some decent glass but it definitely doesn't need to be low iron ultra clear. I'd source a local glass business and see if they've got scraps you could pick through. From there get them to cut one just perfect for the brace. Then use two running perpendicular ( along the front and back of tank) of any size really. You could run them all the way to the corners or even just a few inches wider than the brace. Some aquarium safe acrylic and you should be good to go.
I think this is my favorite video of yours. Not only is the tank aesteticly beautiful, the love care and devotion to your fish is a beautiful thing also. People can learn so much from you. Thank you 💚🦐🌱🐟
1:56 great save Rachel. Tank is looking sweet. Always worrying rescaping an old tank. Will it look as good. And then when you first do it....you've made a mistake, few weeks later, it looks awesome 😊
Hi Rachel,greetings from London UK. I can say,This Video is brilliant,you are a lady who knows what she wants,and got the job done. You seem to solve issues easy. and don't mind getting your hands dirty. All my best wishes .Well Done
@@RachelOLeary Hi, UK seems to lack large fish store's and clubs,, think I may visit USA next year. UK sucks, laughing stock of the world. Stay happy and well 👍
I was so happy when you decided to flip that one section of branch around. I think that totally made the visual flow of the tank more fluid and appealing. Great job.
Woooooooow. This looks amazing. Some many structures, holes, swimthroughs and free area for the fish to play, look for food and hide and live - like an adventure playground. Top notch natural fish tank.
I was sad to hear it had to come down, but the redesigned version is absolutely gorgeous! This is one of my favorites of yours and I'm glad that it's back.
Excellent video Rachel, it's always good to see an expert hobbyist take down / rearrange and set up something so complex. You inspire us to make bigger and better tanks!!!
That new piece of wood looks amazing! I've been dying to find some like that for a long time. The closest I've gotten is pruning branches from my wife's dogwood (sssh, :-) don't tell her), but those are still sitting behind the shed curing. P.S. Finished watching all the way to the end, and the tank looks incredible! I love the new layout, and I bet the fish will too.
I love the complexity, as well as simplicity of this ruggedly handsome tank! The red bark on the lower segment of the driftwood reminds me of a snake in the water!
Oh my goodness Rachel! You’ve outdone yourself yet again. Not going to lie the sawing of that driftwood gave me hellah anxiety but! That scape is absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for your inspiring videos. I love that you have shown me not to be so afraid to make changes to my aquariums in order to help the species of fish I keep thrive not just survive.
You're an absolute artist with your scapes! Your knowledge and passion for the hobby and your "get it done" attitude is inspiring to all women in the hobby. Thank you for sharing this with us!
You have done an amazing job on this tank. Rescaping is so satisfying but you had a big hurdle to jump by undoing, building and resetting it and it looks freaking awesome!!
I broke down and moved my 125 with almost the same filtrartion in the same way of the same day. I feel your pain and effort haha! Youre an inspiration! Such beautful tanks and fish!
It looks amazing. The red colour of the new manzanita driftwood looks absolutely stunning. The large crypt adds a big value to the tank. It visualise the flow in the tank, which I really love. Time will make/establish this aquarium only for the better. Would really love to see how this aquarium evolves.
You have the best life!! My bf is helping me build a long low bench to hold tanks, and I'm trying to learn how to set up an air pump for multiple fish tank syndrome. I don't fully understand what anyone is doing yet so I need to watch and rewatch for a while. 😍 You are so smart about these things. I'm remembering to make it easy to maintain, just like you have mentioned before.
I'm just now catching up on some of the channels that I follow. The 2.0 looks fabulous! You are an amazing, talented aquarist! Thanks for sharing your skills with us!
The Hillstream looks great. Now is the time to order as many of the new and replacement fish as you can find so that we can actually view your complete vision.
OMG this is amazing. this is already my fave aquarium of the ones you have. it's scape looks so good. the wood is amazing. Now I want a bigger one too.... wow. well done Rachel.
What a job! Well done! Excellent care of fish and plants throughout and a spectacular new tank set-up--you should be so proud of yourself! Oh and that balansae, wow...
Awesome!!!!! As always!! I'm so happy for you to finally see you get the fishroom redone, you have been talking about for a while I remember in so many videos..it looks great Rachel!!!
I’ve watched this tank from your first video, it was so hard not to zip to the end result. I’m so happy for you that the move was successful and can’t wait until it beds in. Your aquascaping style is something I love, the striking sweep and strength of the lower manzanita branch is beautiful.
I just try and make things as nice as I can for the fish, and pleasant for me to look at. Always trying to improve! This is why i don't really think of myself as an "aquascaper" as much as a person who is really tuned into the fish needs and can make a pretty tank.
I loved this video! The sound was perfect , and the different camera angles made it very interesting to watch. I especially loved seeing you struggle with the 'scape - real life. This is one of the few youtube videos that I watched all the way to the end. Can't wait to see more!
Very beautiful. I find my tank room soothing. I call it the zen room. You did a wonderful job in a short amount of time. I am going to attempt to step up to a larger tank very soon.
I love it! I can't think of anything else to say except I love it! It was also very educational to see how to break down a tank and move it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I’m so jealous it’s so beautiful you did a fantastic job !!! I’m so proud of you ! Also I love the Red/Orange color for the wood it’s so pretty !!! 💕💕💕
I like the scape on v2.0 a little better than the original, especially with the flowing cryp. With the new location, you get a better idea of just how gigantic this tank is!

@@loftyskies123 you can always add a brace! It isn't too terribly difficult. And it shouldn't be expensive.
I think this is my favorite tank on TH-cam. There's just something about these hillstream tanks.
thanks jordan does it have to be made of glass the same thickness as the tank glass, or are there ones i can buy that clip on or something . we did have 4foot tanks back in the 70s and all of those had a centre brace it was a bit of a pain to get bog wood in some of them though . i,ll have a look around see what i can find for it .

"so I got a new cricket" 😂 Classic. GREAT work.💪

Its just as wonderful if not more Rachel! Can't wait for you to add more Goby's!
Captain is waiting for that cricket. As much as you loved this aquarium before, I bet you have a new fiery adoration for it.
I love the scape! Absolutely beautiful. But I wanted to say the cricket in the background made the whole thing that much better!
Loved the ambiance of the cricket really sets the mood of your aquascaping 🤣

Best Tank On TH-cam. My bucket list tank.

i believe I could stare at that aquarium all day. The giant crypt is awesome, what a great plant! what a great tank love your videos.
Wow, I can't believe how natural that looks. Very impressive
Excellent video Rachel, it's always good to see an expert hobbyist take down / rearrange and set up something so complex. You inspire us to make bigger and better tanks!!!
It looks fantastic! can't wait to watch it as it settles in
Like aging fine wine. She really has the touch doesn't she
@@zimrianispresent8123 Indeed
That is the prettiest piece of Manzanita wood I've seen. I have serious wood envy right now 🤭
You are so brave breaking this scape down and redoing it! Looks good so far! Looking forward to watching it grow in.
You did a great job. It's truly beautiful. I could just sit and stare forever in there.
Rachel I thought you will never get it to look that good again. Boy wasn't I wrong. It looks really brilliant, week done 👍

Thanks alli
you have done a wonderful job it looks beautiful
I think it looks better than the older version, amazing job! Leave the open space without plants, it gives the tank a sense of depth.
I'm glad to see the tank move went so well! Looks like it was a lot of work, but soooo worth it.
You have done an amazing job on this tank. Rescaping is so satisfying but you had a big hurdle to jump by undoing, building and resetting it and it looks freaking awesome!!
OMG! that piece of wood is crazy beautiful.
It looks amazing!! I love the flowing leaves of the crypt! Beautiful!!!
I love how the 150 came out, so gorgeous!
I broke down and moved my 125 with almost the same filtrartion in the same way of the same day. I feel your pain and effort haha! Youre an inspiration! Such beautful tanks and fish!

Lol. I commend you on your patience, I never could’ve done that with the cricket in there. I hope you catch it soon and feed it to something big. 😂😂
Looks Awesome Rachel...the gobies were out and about too...Great Job Guy's!! Take a Breather now, well at least an hour or two...😂😂😂
part 2 of the reno is due to start this weekend
Delightful. I sure hope you spent some time just sitting and watching a job well done
Rachel it's so BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Turned out nice. Well done. 👍
I am in love with that large crypt in the pot! Just watching it sway in the stream is so cool. A lot of hard work, but a job well done. 👍
really looking good.. like the new scape more ....
Yeah I love me some good driftwood right
Those crickets are good trolls hahah
so infuriating! lol
The Hillstream looks great. Now is the time to order as many of the new and replacement fish as you can find so that we can actually view your complete vision.
Hard work in rescaping a tank! And I think it's hard doing a smaller tank. Can't even imagine doing a 125. It does look awesome! 💙😎
OMG this is amazing. this is already my fave aquarium of the ones you have. it's scape looks so good. the wood is amazing. Now I want a bigger one too.... wow. well done Rachel.
looks awesome Rachel! looking forward to the next tank-scaping!
I love the tank. Great choice on the crypt balnsae. It makes the tank. 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
What a job! Well done! Excellent care of fish and plants throughout and a spectacular new tank set-up--you should be so proud of yourself! Oh and that balansae, wow...
WOW WOW WOW!!! Rachel, that looks awesome!!
Wow! This is a great rebuild Rachel! I love it great job! 🤗❤
Totally need a streaming camera on this tank, I could watch it all day! Loving the new scape!
The aquarium looks so good set back up, I am very jealous!!
Great job Rachel, I think it looks very beautiful. Stunning tank that will improve in time.
That aquarium looks beautiful omg amazing Rachel

Looks amazing! Keep us updated on the progress of it. will look forward to seeing if the plants start growing in and if you decide to add more!

looks GREAT! That balnsae is HUGE and awesome.
Goodness gracious, that tank is stunning
I love the new scape! It really inspires me to rescape some of my tanks. Too bad that red on the wood won't stay. I really like that aspect.
Great scaping... you are the standard in which we all should strive to become...
I just try and make things as nice as I can for the fish, and pleasant for me to look at. Always trying to improve! This is why i don't really think of myself as an "aquascaper" as much as a person who is really tuned into the fish needs and can make a pretty tank.
All I can say is Absolutely Perfect!! Love the wood & the potted plant kicked it off Beautifully! U definitely have the Touch!
Absolutely incredible! So gorgeous!!
That tank is looking very good Rachel, you can see the plant growth potential. You folks did a good job on it.
It looks fabulous Rachel! Another job well done :)
Love it! That piece of wood is amazing.

It looks AMAZING! Great Job, as always!
Lol.I like the cricket noise. It brings the outside in .😁 The fish room and tanks are coming together nice.
That is a huge tank! Glad I didn't have to move it :)
GORGEOUS! You are so talented!
Lived watching the original build. This update really shows how your channel has grown!
Very cool! I dig it! Very natural looking.
That looks amazing. Love the manzanita wood.
You created a beautiful tank and moving plants is another dimension well done.👍🇬🇧....love your vids ❤️
Very beautiful. I find my tank room soothing. I call it the zen room. You did a wonderful job in a short amount of time. I am going to attempt to step up to a larger tank very soon.

Absolutely LOVE it!
Just hearing how happy you are during this process made me smile ❤️❤️

I totally agree with you about the red on the driftwood cant wait to see this tank as it matures, makes me want to do a hillstream, great job.
This is my kind of tank..love the natural look. 👍👌
Love it. Especially with the Crpytocoryne balansae.
Beautiful. Love it even more now.
Looks absolutely amazing.
I absolutely love the new manifestation
I want to be a fish in the hill stream tank ...holy Zen garden !! You out did yourself ! It's stunning!
