Aquascaping TUSKS (extinction)

THESE ARE NOT REAL TUSKS!!! They are made of wood. Of course you know that :)
Hey guys! Welcome to my new video,I hope you'll like it. This aquascape represents fossilized tusks of some prehistoric animal. The tusks are in a shallow river and stick out of the water,plants grow around the tusks and fish swim between them. How accurate this scene can be I’m not sure, but this is art and everything is allowed :) Are these mammoth or mastodon tusks or even woolly rhino horns??? I'll leave that to your imagination ;)
Anyway, I'm fascinated by prehistoric animals and that's why I decided to make one aquascape on that subject...
Thanks for watching and enjoy!!!

Such a beautiful wood placement! Excellent job my friend 👍

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Thank you very much my friend! I appreciate A LOT.

[@pavel_vasilev1978]

The lightness and transparency of the composition create a feeling of weightlessness and peace! This is great!

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Thanks!!

[@robertpersaud8723]

The time and commitment to get everything JUST right. The fact that you’ve started this months ago, you’re an aquatic artist!! Fantastic work! Between you and Tropictanks!! Inspiring!

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Thanks a lot!! I appreciate it.

[@monsieurbacteria6105]

I have always loved watching people build the hardscape and add the plants.
im currently making a 64 liter planted tank for shrimp , with a co2 diffuser and tank, great build

[@elmee96]

This is such a perfect scape! I love it when it's not over complicated like most scapes are! Really good job

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Thanks!! I appreciate it.

[@Chameshi]

How do you keep coming up with so many cool and beautiful ideas while keeping such a deceivingly simple-looking aesthetic? XD The patience you have for setting this up must make it so much more rewarding at the end :)

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Thank you! 😊 Mostly ideas come to me spontaneously. When I get an idea, I make a sketch so that I don't forget until it's time to realize it :)

[@ShawnHineidi]

Thanks!!

[@pliny1449]

Love this, can’t wait to see it grow in - Pogostemon Stellata and Blyxia Japonica are two of my favourite plants, beautiful... I’m amazed how delicately the tusks are balanced - I’d knock them over first time I did maintenance! Did you add any extra bracing to hold them or they are just balanced on those small rocks?

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Thanks!! I appreciate it. Just balanced on those small rocks and buried in sand :) I hope to have more luck with the Blyxia Japonica this time because it failed me last time.

[@amitkumarmahato8352]

Sir , this is one of the most beautiful planted tanks i have ever seen !! 😍😍😍 Love your work !!

Svaka cast!!! One of the best scapes I saw in a long time. Keep us updated with this one, I would like to see this one two months later. And if is not a secret what did you use to put Puragen in?

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Hvala puno!! Purigen je u najlonkama,iz njih ne moze da ispadne. Ali ne smeju biti ni malo pocepane,onda purigen ispada.

❤. Niceeeee !!
I wonder about your quartz sand, the size so smooth, did you sieve it ?

[@Tj-co2ww]

Very inspirational

[@AndrewNelson973]

Simplicity at its finest. Really awesome. Have you thought about the impact of not using clay based soil? Maybe you might have to stick to a fairly strict fertilization regime once the nutrient substrate below depletes since there is no buffer(soil) to hold nutrients when surplus and gradually release when deficit. But again, for a guy who has successfully mastered plants under direct sunlight, this shouldn't be a problem. All the best.

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Thanks!! I appreciate it. This substrate combination has worked quite well for me before. I hope that with this tank everything will go smoothly.

[@waterlover]

this build is insane

Beautiful scape! How do you deal with evaporation? I love the fish choice, and it’s not too many so it makes it look serene instead of crowded!

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Thanks!! I just add water to the tank when it evaporates. It doesn't evaporate much now because it's summer time.

Svaka čast! Spreman se da krenem da opremam akvarijum od 200 l u kome će dominirati hardscape od 2 elementa (dragon stone i mangrove wood). Ako sam dobro razumeo držali ste drvo 2 meseca potopljen u vodi? Ja ga držim već 2 nedelje, pa sam mislio da ga prokuvam, pa mi recite da li je neophodno kuvanje (pošto u klipu niste ni Vi to uradili...)? I sam mi recite da li mogu biljke odmah da se posade, pa da se ciklira akvarijum ili ipak bolje ne? Hvala unapred!

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Hvala! Ja sam drzao drvo dva meseca u vodi jer mi se nije zurilo,mangrov ce u vecini slucajeva odmah potonuti ali jako oboji vodu. Zato sam toliko vremena i drzao drvo u vodi i menjao vodu u kanti. Moze da se prokuva ne skodi,ja nisam prokuvavao. Biljke mogu odma da se zasade na pocetku,tako obicno i radim ovde sam malo radio drugacije. Sve u svemu pokazalo se isto.
