I love all your high tech tanks, but these low tech no filter set ups are my favorite. I feel like they are much more of a conversation piece for folks with no experience. Good way to bring in new hobbyists.
i feel like the only conversation pieces for none hobbyists are red and blue big fish. at which point they will say, these aren’t even gold fish. either way, they will enjoy tapping on the glass and walking away.
FINALLY!!! lol. Now THAT'S a beautiful planted vase. Nobody is doing these. At least not well. Stunning and inspirational. I have wanted to do one of these for quite a while now. Great job Mark........MORE!!!!! lol
That vase is quite incredible. You've done a fantastic job there. Try the yellow shrimp. The brighter and more banana yellow, the better: they show up against absolutely any surface/background (unless you have a pale beige coloured substrate). I love mine: they are easily visible from a couple of metres away: much more so than the blues and reds in my other tanks...
a little trick i do after i apply the glue a second time is grind up a bit of aquarium soil i might have left over and use it to cover the whiteness of the cotton pad, works marvels
Jjjj he encontrado a mi alma gemela, muchas gracias, enhorabuena, lo haces muy bien. Yo cambiaria el otocinclus por un zorro volador. Y aquí necesitamos un microcalentador también jjj perfecto hermano. Salud
No matter which of your videos I watch, I always learn something from you. You are a natural and generous teacher, thank you for sharing all of this beauty with your passion. Appreciated! Stunning work.
I was so excited to see your New vase scape video! I was also amazed at the side of it when you appear next to it in the video. There is something magical about the circular scape! Love the plants you chose for this scape!
Very nice. It will take away your stress when you view it. I’m going to go to our local IKEA here in San Diego to look for a vase. If they don’t have anything, I can always jump across the border and to go to Mexico (15 miles from here) to find something. I have a perfect spot for a tank like this in the living room. Thanks MJ, you are a motivator 🙂
Stunning is the word.. Trick in working with vase or bowl is the magnifying effect ..out of nowhere some plants, wood or stone stands out magnified.. Small suggestion to use some sponge or hob filter because of maintenance difficulties
These vases are really cool. I really like this build. I currently have one a slightly smaller covering a root over rock ficus to keep the humidity up so it stimulates ariel roots.
Great timing. I bought myself a vase similar to yours (29cm wide, 35 tall) a few weeks ago with the same idea in mind. Should be getting the rest of my hardscape and plants tomorrow. Can't wait to get started.
This is one of my favorites. I did my own vase after your first video and have been doing both vases and bowls since. Really enjoy them. Wish I could get hold of the same hardscape as you, but we don’t really have that much to choose from from where I’m from unfortunately.
Thanks for watching? Thanks for showing your knowledge. Love to see you creating your unique scapes. The idea with a vase was in my mind too. But i think, my wife will say its too much. We have a little 57 liter tank. I would love to build a low tec tank.... Good job👌🏼
I really love how the vase turned out, tough I think that the 25L are still not enough space to keep otocinclus inside that tank or fish at all especially if you bear in mind that they like to in a group of at least 4-6 fish. Still love your videos and your aquascapes but I just wanted to mention that point.
I agree, especially with the dimensions. It really doesn’t have the horizontal swimming space fish need. If it was a 25L long tank then very small fish might be possible.
Well my Betta swim perfect in round cilinder vase filled with hardscape,plants and wood compared to a square aquarium. Their overall behaviour is much more natural. 😮
Wow thats a huge vase. I was planning to do something similar I just need to find bigger vase than the 4LTR vase I currently have. PS I was supporting Netherlands last night and was really hoping we can meet you in semifinals. That would be amazing game...
@@MJAquascaping I don't follow club football much but national team is something different, I lost my voice last night haha. NED-ARG game was really sad; the game but also all the other extra activities happening. Cheers
You mentioned that you may change the decorative sand later to gravel if it looks unsightly with the fish poop and debris...how would you do this safely planted tank with shrimp and small fish? I have been thinking about changing the substrate of my tank but I don't want to upset the system - I'd love to hear your thoughts on doing this!
Black Phantom Tetras would look amazing in this set up They’re quite a bit bigger than chili rasboras but they’re still small enough to live in this tank
You made me moss having a vase. Love what you did with everything , looks so beautiful. What about some Taiwanese b shrimp some red with white would so pop in that tank. Feed those rasboras some live food and the color will start to get intense red . Worked for me
Hi, I'm getting a vase to the same specs as you and am in Australia so the light you recommend is out of budget to get over here. Could you name a few alternative lights that would look classy? Currently looking at the chihiros tiny z but hoping you can offer a more minimalist solution please 🙏
I have a similar size vase and I did a waterfall paladarium with dragon stone various mosses and a palor palm. Need to find another one. Love your stuff.
At the end on the closeups you can see some very small things moving on the sand. Not fish, but maybe baby shrimp, or did you just feed the newly hatched brine shrimp?
I am lower than a newbie, I don't know anything, but Father Fish said that algae start to form if the dirt in the substrate is not covered by a couple of inches of sand so that it is anaerobic. Once the nutrients start flowing up into the water, it produces algae.
This is an awesome video! I'll try something like this for my desk for sure! Also, I see that the big shallow is topped back up again. All good with it now?
Great video. Very nice to see this vase "growing" in to an aquarium. Does it take you much maintenance? And what is the temp? Norm room temp 20-21? Thank you for sharing this video!
I don't really have separate videos in those topics. I acclimate fish preferably by floating the bag in the aquarium for 30 minutes, after that I will open the bag, and every few minutes I add a little bit of tank water to the bag. 30 minutes later I will release the fish. Now some people don't like to add ''shop water'' to the tank, but I trust my local shop, so its fine. For planting you definitely want to get some tweezers. I have a small one for delicate tissue culture plants, and a larger one for bigger potted plants.
HI MJ, thank you for this video. I've seen some others videos about "no filter nano aquarium". Did you change the water (50%) everyday the first week and then, less and less ? and how many hours do you put the light on ? (sorry for my "english"). How is it going a year after ? Have a nice day 😀
Nice Video!! Can you make a video doing maintenance please?? Cause it's easy to set up a nano aquascape but it's frustrating to maintain and clean it sometime
Nice scape man. plz do keep us updated on this build. Q? do you have flow in the tank? if not plan on adding it or no? how does it get O2? or is it even needed? have been thinking about doing something like this for years.
Hello i just saw you video and i think its amazing, i got into raising fish because of rainbow fish. If possible csn you tell me what store you found that bowl in ?
Love it. I have tried setting up a vase 3 times now and each time water fouled and I had to take it apart. I am used to weekly 50% water changes on my Hightechs but these vases don’t work for me at all. How often do you change water 2-2 weeks from setup? And how much after let’s say a month? Thanks
Hey! Sorry to hear it didn't work for you. Depending on the brand of aquasoil that I'm using I will usually do quite a few water changes in the first two weeks, like every other day or so. After two weeks it's usually just one water change, and after 1 month either once a week or sometimes once in two weeks.
What does this tank look like in a month? Do you feed your shrimp? Have you ever had one crash on you. Mine just crashed, nothing I could do, had to start from the beginning.
I really enjoyed making this XXL vase! Thanks for watching, and don't forget to smash that like button, it really helps me out!

I like how you added information on the plants you used such as genus, species, origin, etc

Great tip!
Just did a vase for first time for my mom. So nice I want to take it home.

I was literally just looking at vase aquariums yesterday to set one up, ill take this upload as a sign to buy one! Thanks for the great content sir!
I love your vase concept, it looks so elegant. I think I will recommend this to my sister.
Thank you! 😊

Instead of baking soda, I use fine sand. Works great & looks good too. Also, I Plug my ‘holes’ with black felt. Love this project ❤️🇦🇺

Sounds great! Have fun setting it up!
Beautiful as always 👍😊
Just made my 10L vase a week ago, inspired by your first vase 😀.
May I steal your idea with enthusiasm 😂 it’s stunning and exactly what I was wanting to achieve 🙏
go for it!
Stunning is the word..
Trick in working with vase or bowl is the magnifying effect ..out of nowhere some plants, wood or stone stands out magnified..
Small suggestion to use some sponge or hob filter because of maintenance difficulties
Your original vase vid was my favourite until now, thanks for doing another vase - they look so good 👍
These vases are really cool. I really like this build.
I currently have one a slightly smaller covering a root over rock ficus to keep the humidity up so it stimulates ariel roots.
Great timing. I bought myself a vase similar to yours (29cm wide, 35 tall) a few weeks ago with the same idea in mind. Should be getting the rest of my hardscape and plants tomorrow. Can't wait to get started.
This vase aquarium is amazing. I’m inspired! I’m looking forward for an update how it looks after another couple of weeks. Cheers 🙂
Beautiful aquarium!!!! You did a wonderful job on your build! Im a big fan of a living environment insted of a artifical fish tank.
This is one of my favorites. I did my own vase after your first video and have been doing both vases and bowls since. Really enjoy them. Wish I could get hold of the same hardscape as you, but we don’t really have that much to choose from from where I’m from unfortunately.
Bummer... where are you located?
I love your Videos and your narration. Your voice has a calming effect on me Thanks very much Sincerely Dave
I LOVE IT! I loved the first version of the vase so it's so nice to see the vase 2.0! It looks even better 😍
Glad you like it!
Very calming to watch ❤ I was wondering about your accent then I noticed the “soda box”
Thanks for watching? Thanks for showing your knowledge. Love to see you creating your unique scapes. The idea with a vase was in my mind too. But i think, my wife will say its too much. We have a little 57 liter tank. I would love to build a low tec tank....
Good job👌🏼
Very nice. But what about temperature? I read shrimps can live as low as 15 degrees. Not sure about the fish.
wow man, that's stunning!
Beautiful 👌🏻Loved it

@@MJAquascaping I don't follow club football much but national team is something different, I lost my voice last night haha. NED-ARG game was really sad; the game but also all the other extra activities happening. Cheers
I made one close to this size inspired by your original video, and it's my favorite. I have a 5 watt hiro light and it works great.
That is awesome!
Looks beautiful

Absolutly stunning.
That's stunning !!! Nice little self contained ecosystem
I would love to see a video in the future of how you clean this jar and tips.
Black Phantom Tetras would look amazing in this set up They’re quite a bit bigger than chili rasboras but they’re still small enough to live in this tank
Such a cool set up
Love the tank. Where you got that shelve from?
Beautiful setup, the tank looks amazing!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
One of the best vase scapes I have ever seen. Heel mooi!
Thank you for sharing! I have been wanting to do one for years. With this turotial, Now, I think I can !
"I'm excited. I hope you are, too!" Funny, how people like us get excited about decorating a vase :)
Always check for any sort of bubbles in glass vases. I had one explode in my hand and all I was doing was rinsing it out with room temp water.
Cool content…I just got a 5 gallon glass water jug, with very small opening on top. Have you work with this kind for an aquarium?
You made me moss having a vase. Love what you did with everything , looks so beautiful. What about some Taiwanese b shrimp some red with white would so pop in that tank. Feed those rasboras some live food and the color will start to get intense red . Worked for me
I'm too scared to keep those Taiwan bee shrimp 😁
@@MJAquascaping have you had them in the past and died?
Hi.....that is fantastic. You may have said but missed it....why dont you put substrate down first. Thanks
Hi, TYVM, I'm a fan of your work.
Maybe you should ask horizon what they're feeding their chili rasbora.
I've had mine 2 months and they don't have anything like that kind of color.
Thank you for including plant lists!
Wow, thanks, just got my stuff in to do a vase. Perfect timing
Looking so beautiful ❤️. I'm loving it 🥰
Hi, I'm getting a vase to the same specs as you and am in Australia so the light you recommend is out of budget to get over here. Could you name a few alternative lights that would look classy? Currently looking at the chihiros tiny z but hoping you can offer a more minimalist solution please 🙏
I think two or three blue shrimp would look amazing in this setup
I have a similar size vase and I did a waterfall paladarium with dragon stone various mosses and a palor palm. Need to find another one. Love your stuff.
Awesome buddy, some great ideas here.
I love this so much, I am very much inspired!
Do you need to do a water change for a tank like this?
This is awesome Mark, I am now on the hunt for something similar, such a beautiful and simple way to aquascape
echt heel erg mooi! je brengt me op ideeen
How about the temperature in the jar? Does the oscillation in the room temperature affect the shrimps/fish in the jar? Thanks
Love the jar but, guys, the water is chemically stable after some months?
How many water changes should I do with a jar like that?
Thanks!!!
You can also put some electrical tape on light bulb area to block light if to bright or floating plants.
So beautiful and inspiring! Thank you. 😃
Fantasticly stunning. Inspiring and exquisitely done. The ideas never stop. Love your channel.
Amazing vase, definitely need to redo my mini vase now...
At the end on the closeups you can see some very small things moving on the sand. Not fish, but maybe baby shrimp, or did you just feed the newly hatched brine shrimp?
Yeah I just gave them some Daphnia!
@@MJAquascaping Got it... thought I saw something
I noticed them swimming around as well. Glad to know what they are 😊
I am lower than a newbie, I don't know anything, but Father Fish said that algae start to form if the dirt in the substrate is not covered by a couple of inches of sand so that it is anaerobic. Once the nutrients start flowing up into the water, it produces algae.
Mooi gedaan jonge👍 altijd leuk om jouw filmpjes te zien om inspiratie op te doen. Ga zo door⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
cool tank, i was inspired by the first cylinder vase video and did my version. im here again to be reinspired. thanks
Man ur an elite artist 😱
Great setup, I’m thinking of doing something like this but a bit smaller just to put on my desk
Man! This is epic! Such a nice scape in a vase! Probably gonna try this to 🙌
Go for it!
Wow, just amazingly beautiful
This is an awesome video! I'll try something like this for my desk for sure!
Also, I see that the big shallow is topped back up again. All good with it now?
Definitely give it a try!
The big shallow is still filled halfway, most footage from this video was shot 3 weeks ago.
Great video. Very nice to see this vase "growing" in to an aquarium. Does it take you much maintenance? And what is the temp? Norm room temp 20-21? Thank you for sharing this video!
This was great! As someone looking to get into the hobby, do you have how-to videos for fish acclimating, plant “planting”, etc?
I don't really have separate videos in those topics.
I acclimate fish preferably by floating the bag in the aquarium for 30 minutes, after that I will open the bag, and every few minutes I add a little bit of tank water to the bag. 30 minutes later I will release the fish. Now some people don't like to add ''shop water'' to the tank, but I trust my local shop, so its fine.
For planting you definitely want to get some tweezers. I have a small one for delicate tissue culture plants, and a larger one for bigger potted plants.
Beautiful vase 🤩
You should do a test with philips wiz bulb and the nano tank light. 😊
Soo Beautiful
Lovely job, looks amazing, hopefully we'll get to see it as it grows.
That's really beautiful, just subscribed so I will be binge watching your videos!
How do you care for the plants in the aquarium? Do you add any fertilizers, carbo, macro, micro?
Just a few drops of All in one liquid fertiliser after a water change
HI MJ, thank you for this video. I've seen some others videos about "no filter nano aquarium". Did you change the water (50%) everyday the first week and then, less and less ? and how many hours do you put the light on ? (sorry for my "english").
How is it going a year after ? Have a nice day 😀
That is so perfect 👌 😍 ❤ 💖 ♥
Incredible!
Did you seed the daphnia seen at the end or were they just a surprise?
its so nice scape, simple yet stunning i guess you gave me an idea to start a vase scape, keep on scaping 😊
You should!
@@MJAquascaping yes i would definetly try some vase aquascape
Nice Video!! Can you make a video doing maintenance please?? Cause it's easy to set up a nano aquascape but it's frustrating to maintain and clean it sometime
Nice scape man. plz do keep us updated on this build.
Q? do you have flow in the tank? if not plan on adding it or no? how does it get O2? or is it even needed? have been thinking about doing something like this for years.
Definitely will keep you updated!
No flow, and not planning to add it
O2 is just coming from the plants
Hello i just saw you video and i think its amazing, i got into raising fish because of rainbow fish. If possible csn you tell me what store you found that bowl in ?
