Aquascape "Looking Glass of the Maples" by Steven Chong

Going over my autumn themed aquascape designed for IAPLC 2022, and how Miriophyllum Red was used in this planted aquarium to enhance the life-like impression of the scene's texture.

I can truly say that your scape was the only one I had an emotional response when watching the IAPLC results last year. It is absolutely beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing what you will do in this year's competition.

I really like this style of video - not "splashy" but truly educational and interesting. I'm so glad you will be uploading more in the future!

[@danielstruer5366]

It is always very inspiring to watch your videos and hearing about your thought. It makes me smile and wants to go aquascaping. Ha a great day 😊

[@rydanoel]

Thanks for making this, Steven. I always receive them as a gift.

[@scapeling-loveaquascaping]

hey Steve, just watched the video (why not earlier? :D). It's amazing insight and so much to take away. Thanks a ton!

[@mickaelrousee3573]

Thanks a lot, for this quite, quite, quite tremendous amount of inspiration, knowledge of the art of aquascaping (the real one).
In there you are becoming a master to us.

[@tm_scape]

Thanks master 🙏

I can only speek by myself, but I would really enjoy if you would do vlog stile videos (as the ones Ryo Watanabee does). Visiting stores, hearing your opinion on some of the display tanks. I dont need a high quality production though :)
- your rank was a shame this year, it should have scored much higher, regarding how wonderfully you crafted a distinct scene. However, its always a question of how the scape applies to the judging createria and personal likings :)
Keep up the great work and keep suprising us :)

Hi Steven Chong, I would like to ask a plant question if its ok with you. It's about the Eleocharis Vivipara, I'm not sure if you use this plant or not but if you do, can you please tell me how to propagate it? I heard it does not spread through runners, which I mistakenly thought it did when I ordered it.

Master Said.. See Don't Look

[@jonasho6803]

Why 2024?

[@SteveScapesYT]

Did I say 2024 somewhere by accident? I checked the end-- looks like I said "working on my layout for 2023" sorry if there was a mistake somewhere!

[@Trrondee]

2024 huh?
