@peaceofnaturee Currently, I am with my 20 gallon long (yet to reveal it on my channel atm). But at some point, I wanna go bigger like you and many others who enjoy a huge slice of nature indoors. One day, it WILL happen. It just may take longer.
@@torIIgo Patience it the aquarist's best friend :) Start out big, it is easier to maintain, that's my philosophy. *PS Lovely little tank. Badis, pygmy cories :) Love it.
This is the most relaxing aquarium setup video I've ever seen. I wonder if we sometimes become too perfectionistic about an ecosystem needing water filters, CO2 systems, various substrates, and chemicals, forgetting about a natural ecosystem like this one.
I have a big aquarium (besides 5 other smaller aquariums I have) but I'm just too lazy to maintain it, has been months without water change, the water has gone 45% and needed to turn off the hang on filter (the water level is to low), The water is brown. The fish still alive without oxygen, the vallisneria-gigantea almost took over the tank. Yes, aquarium with plants needs no extensive maintenance.
Tank size and the amount of plants and fish is why no filtration can work. If you have a small tank, it's harder to achieve. But balance between plants and the amount of fish is key.
You’re so right. It’s possible to make no filter in small tanks too, as you said balance is so important. In coming weeks I will publish a video about nano filterless tank with nano fish.
Earlier this week after a few months of preparation I finished setting up my first fish tank. I'm applying the same philosophies as you and watching your journey with this thank excites me about the journey I am about to embark on with mine. You were an absolute inspiration in determining what I wanted my fish thank to be and for that I will be eternally grateful.
This is the way they're meant to be setup. I've got a 75g with soil and sand substrate, tons of plants, hundreds of cherry shrimp, a few amano shrimp, a nerite snail, tons of pest snails, ottos, khuli loaches and a pile of guppies. No water changes, no fertilizers, no filters, no heater and it's thriving. No algae and no issues, looks beautiful.
Sounds like a dream tank. Btw if the reason you only have one nerite snail is because you don't want them to overpopulate, they won't breed in freshwater. Maybe you just already have enough snails but I figured I'd say this just in case.
I own an empty aquarium. Its dimensions are 50*50*50 cm. My friend, who follows you on your page, told me... First... about the clay substrate, how high should it be... and then the second layer of sand, how high should it be? ..and how many plants should we plant...and finally the lighting, how many hours should it be on...and I am sorry for the long question.. I am following you from Palestine
I always felt these setups were missing more invertebrates. There's more to a freshwater ecosystem than just fish, snails, and shrimp. There should be scuds for detritus and as a food source, freshwater worms for biofilm, rotifers, isopods, etc. With less fish, you may not even need to feed them if the tank had all these invertebrates.
Has demostrado que no hay límites en el Acuarismo, y con paciencia y de la manera más natural se puede tener este hermoso hobby; Felicidades desde México 🇲🇽
All my tanks except the external big pond have no filter and Cristal clear water, I still don't understand why people get so amazed with that. As if nature needs an electric filter for its ponds and lakes...
Some ponds do work well with no filter, rising and falling with the seasons, but most natural lakes and ponds are fed by a river or spring and have an output beyond simple evaporation, flow and water change are part of most natural waters, obviously the Dead Sea has no output beyond evaporation.
@@williammcdowell6257 i disagree.... Most lakes and ponds don't have a strong flow of water in the whole body... Rivers do, and that's another story. Even the ocean is not nourished with oxygen from the movement above, but by the algae and plants in it.
@@supremepeace. Just for accuracy I didn't write about 'strong flow' certainly most lakes have flow but it wouldn't be a flow comparable to the say the strong turnover of around 10 times an hour turnover for a filter, as some recommend. I also never mentioned aeration, i.e. putting oxygen from the air into water. In fact I haven't personally used aeration on my tanks for over three decades. Please, there is nothing to be gained by disagreeing with me on things I didn't write. The Bann river feeds and discharges from largest British Isles lake. I am fundamentally keen on essentially nature based approaches to the hobby. But most ponds and lakes are not bodies of stagnant water even if there is no immediate visual evidence of a river or stream (often a seasonal stream) feeding in and out, often with small bodies of water, water often percolates in from the soil etc. and is evaporated off or runs slowly under the force of gravity from the pond. Water is also often lost from bodies of water by transpiration from plants and plants being eaten by herbivores. Transpiration is a major loss of water from bodies of water not fed by streams in the summer, come the autumn rains, and the re-emergence of seasonal streams, and the autumnal loss of foliage, the water is replenished. That is how most apparently stagnant ponds operate.
i had a 10 gallon run 10 years before i ever did a water change as a kid growing into a teenager. i have a 55 gal now and only change the water 50% maybe once or twice a year. gravel a couple plants and a canister filter. my cory cats are 15-18 years old and my albino bristle nose is about 12 now.
I just want congratulate you on this beautiful tank. A few years back I've also created a self sustaining eco tank just adding water when needed and pruning the plants. Once the tank was established I stopped feeding my fish and and the fish just started breeding and multiply. Corry's bred tetras bred and the whole tank just flourished. The biggest key to success is to keep the tank well balanced. I so happy to see there is more people believing that it is possible as the over whelming idea of keeping a healthy aquarium is so based on filters and water change water change and water change. For those who wants to try it be patient and don't disturb the substrate and dont re-scaoe the tank leave it to set in. Beautiful tank well done❤
oh man, i'm watching this video now as i just bought a beginners tank for my and my kids to just try, when i saw your tank now i feel so eagre to go your way someday and create such an incredible eco system, i really appreciate all the effort and time you spent on your tank, it's so beautiful 🥰
Nice informative relaxed video. Kids play sand is a good cheap source of river sand, 15KG for £3. Its not always river sand so read the info on the back. I wash it a few times to get rid of mud and powdery bits of sand. Its labour intensive washng your bodyweight in sand, but its worth it over paying £16 for 7.5KG of sand from aquarium shop.
I just spent days rinsing the play sand I got, and it's still isn't clean. I should have researched what is in that particular sand before buying. I'll be giving it to the chickens for baths and buying pool filter sand and blasting sand for fish tanks.
I gave up on having a fish tank after 15 years because it was annoying cleaning the water. I was a kid so I didn't know much about water or how to combat algie but at some point I did achieve this only to ruin it by changing too much water I realize that now. No filter tanks are the way to go.
Such a beautiful video, and very helpful to me as I’m about to set up my first dirted, sand capped, planted ecosystem. This video is so inspiring, encouraging, and full of useful information! It was really helpful that you demonstrated over feeding. Everyone talks about it, but as a beginner, I was really happy to see it shown so clearly. Thank you!!!
And one more thing, once algae develops on moss and soft leaved plants, they don’t disappear just by reducing light from 8 to 4 hours. Algae don’t disappear by its own. No matter how many shrimps are in there. What are you not telling us? Did you change some plants? Just be honest. The final aquarium is great btw.
Yes, what he is telling you works. The two main causes of algae are too much light and too much feeding of the fish. This is the first time I have seen the video's from this person, but there are literally hundreds from Father Fish. I set up a 75 gallon tank using his method a year ago and it is flourishing to this day. It is set up very close to this method, no filter, lots of plants and fish, very little fish feeding, only about twice a week, and the water has stayed almost crystal clear and I just replenish the evaporated water every couple of months, but I have a lid on it so there is very little evaporation. Go to TH-cam and search on Father Fish. You will be amazed. It is very simple and pretty much maintenance free.
I have a 30L midi tank, on which I haven't changed the filter or water in 180 days. I perform only top up 3L water every few days of evaporation. The water is clear. I need to maybe syphon some loose dirtvut its been working great with fish thriving.
that is the reason most don't use dirted tanks.. we can rescape or mess with the substrate or pull out rooted plants.. also I had big problems with assassin snails they harm smaller nerites and also ram horn snails which eat algae
Use soil when you never plan to touch your aquarium again. No uprooting plants, no rebuilds. Just scape and leave it alone aside from some trimming or adding materials
Set up my planted tank 5 months ago no cleaning no water changes & no problems.. I havnt even had any algae & it’s facing two windows I have my lights on around 9 hrs a day the fish are feed with live food or frozen & of course a bit of dried flacked food for fibre.. it’s thriving & all the fish are having babies just need to rehome them as I already have 3 tanks & no room for more 😂
Tengo un acuario de 320 litros, si le tengo filtro, pero no abono, no co2 y tampoco luces especiales, la iluminacion es led normal y me va bien, ya esta maduro el acuario tiene 2 años, que bueno que muestren proyectos de acuarios sin tanta cosa y lo mas natural posible, hermoso tu acuario, un saludo desde medellin - colombia 👌🏻👍🏻🇨🇴
really pretty tank love how informative you are, you have the perfect narrative voice! i'm inspired to create a similar ecosystem hopefully it will be successful like yours!!
So the difference between pond and aquarium besides outdoor and indoor is = 1. Light source 2. Temperature 3. Weather - the worst weather for pond was snow - some weather can help water movement and water filter naturally 4. Size 5. Balanced between life - fish also help the water movement by swimming around and produce co2 6. The type survival life species according to temperature and situation - plant can't survive without gas exchange. In order to have gas exchange you need water movement. Water movement can happen in different situations. Example = water change, air pump, swimming fish, co2 injection, rain, storm, air flow, winds. - water plant without water movement is pointless unless if you want grow algae and microscopic life include the condition. 7. Cycled/stable Ecosystem.
Great video mate and what an amazing final product without needing too much artificial products. I never knew this could be achieved. I'm trying to make a 5x2ft fish tank for my living space and wanted to know what kind of plants you used, what species, both plants and fish thrived so that I can too achieve this. The shop I go to recommends adding expensive substrates and fertilizers with CO2 infusion etc. but if it's not required, I'd rather have a natural looking tank like this. Please do suggest any pointers, thanks!
Hello, thank you! I’m preparing a video about plants that can be easily used in setups like this and I’ll be publishing it soon. It’s absolutely possible to create beautiful tanks without expensive equipment. I already have a video showcasing the plants in this tank. Please watch it; you’ll find answers to all your questions.
Can you please cover a video on how to choose a tank, sealings type, how to make it sturdy, kind of support it will require like metallic frames to hold pressure. How to know safe limit of my tank, glass thickness and other important aspects of tank
I wanna say floating plants HELPS ALOT in these tank, i have a 15g tank but use a small hob filter with 0 water change after 2-3 months of cycle, it is doing really well now lol
I love the set up sir! I'm definitely doing a large aquarium like this after college. Though I would think some angel fish would be nice as center-piece fish. Btw mine is a planted 15 gallon for now. It has a betta and some guppies + shrimps and snails. It has been set up for more than a year now and basically on autopilot. I only do a waterchange every 3 months or so if the water is starting to get really yellow because of tanins or I'm in the mood or a guest is coming. Its small HOB filter has no media in it anymore and only being used for water movement. Fish are happy and breeding and the plants are thriving, only has some algae on the rocks and wood which I dont mind and the shrimp for sure love it, and that's it. Aquariums like these shows that our hobby doesn't need to be complicated. Keep doin what you do sir. Cheers.
Benim 480litrelik akvaryumum var filtreli sistem ancak dogal akvaryum yapmak istiyorum arastirmalarim sonucu bu videoya geldim. İlham verici, bilgi dolu paylasim icin teşekkür ederim❤
Hi. Great video. Did you continue to use the water pump or did you rely soley on the plants for oxygen and secondly is this cold water or tropical, do you use a heater
Su eklemeyi nasıl yapıyorsunuz acaba ? Bende walstad kurulumu var haftada bir %20sini çıkarıp yeni su ekliyorum doğru mu yapıyorum bilmiyorum. Şuan sadece bitki ve salyangoz var balık eklerimde ölürler diye korkuyorum. 30-40 litrelik bir akvaryum bu arada umarım görürsün de yardımcı olursun Bartınlı çok zor durumdayım 😅
Merhaba, ben sadece eksilen suyu çeşmeden tamamlıyorum. Başka bir şey yapmıyorum. Tankı kuralı ne kadar zaman oldu? Herşey yolundaysa fazla olmamak şartıyla balık ekleyebilirsiniz.
@@peaceofnaturee Eylül ayının başında kurmuştum akvaryumu haftalık su değişimi yapıyorum o zamandan beri bu hafta yapmadım herhangi bir problem yok görünürde bitkilerimde salyangozlarımda gayet iyi beni korkutan akvaryumun küçük olması daha önce hiç yosun sorunu vs yaşamadım o yüzden başıma olmadık bela sararsam halledebilir miyim bilmiyorum
Artık balık ekleyebilirsiniz. Tankınız küçük fakat küçük balıklardan bir grup ekleyebilirsiniz. Tetra, rasbora vs . Yemlemeyi çok az yaparsanız bir problem yaşamazsınız.
I own an empty aquarium. Its dimensions are 50*50*50 cm. My friend, who follows you on your page, told me... First... about the clay substrate, how high should it be... and then the second layer of sand, how high should it be? ..and how many plants should we plant...and finally the lighting, how many hours should it be on...and I am sorry for the long question.. I am following you from Palestine
Gorgeous Pond that you can lose time in it... So jealous of it 😍😍 and Wish you for more creative endeavours. I hope one day I afford to make a more to this... Insha-Allah...
great video, I am a bit further on the same journey and wanted to share some of my experiences (been going 2 years). After around 6 months the soil started to be depleted of nutrients. I first started to feed more which had no effect, then I added fertilizer in the water column which helped start an algea bloom. The solution for me was eventually adding root tabs. What is your plan once the soil is depleted? I know the idea is that the fish waste would provide enough nutrients for the plants but this didn't work for me.
Hi, here is some of plants I use and I recommend for low tech tank: Slavonia Natans Pistia Subulata Echinodorus Americanus Cryptocoryne Anubias Lagenandra Meeboldii Red Ludwigia Repens Hygrophila Corymbosa Pogostemon Octopus Myriophyllum Mattogrossense Java Moss Pinna Lotus Bolbitos asiacata Afflame Rotala
I use peace lillies , spider lillies, and photos plants on my tanks..I have a 48 year old Monstera ...each leaf is 2 metre in diameter..No way I could put some of her branches to grow into any tank.However there are cultivated smaller growing versions..so maybe I get one of those 😊
I like a little surface agitation to keep biofilm off the top of the water, a filter usually brings that but I could see just doing a small powerhead near the top.
hello from my fishroom channel in chicago, where I am an awestruck subscriber to yours! tell me if you can is the fast growing feathery pink and gold stem that you keep pruning Rotala Wallichii?
have you ever dosed this tank with fertz ? Also put any root tabs or something? How do you deal with nutrient deficiencies? I am asking this because I am using exact substate but one of the plant leaves are curling and i have no clue what is happening
saw this beautiful video more than 10 times you are doing grate ,Can you please do a video for what plants are you used in your beautiful natural aquarium❤
Merhaba! 1-2 hafta önce sana sormuştum, cevabını vermiştin. Toplam toprak kalınlığı 6 cm'dir. Bunun kaç cm'si kum ve bahçe toprağıdır? Şu turuncu deniz yosununun adı ne? Lifli bitki Macaristan'dan hoş geldiniz!
Man, to have a setup like that, I'd be sitting in front of it for hours peacefully enjoying the simplicity of all the inhabitants of said ecosystem.
It’s perfect, enjoy!
@peaceofnaturee Currently, I am with my 20 gallon long (yet to reveal it on my channel atm). But at some point, I wanna go bigger like you and many others who enjoy a huge slice of nature indoors. One day, it WILL happen. It just may take longer.

This is the most relaxing aquarium setup video I've ever seen. I wonder if we sometimes become too perfectionistic about an ecosystem needing water filters, CO2 systems, various substrates, and chemicals, forgetting about a natural ecosystem like this one.
Thank you so much!
I have a big aquarium (besides 5 other smaller aquariums I have) but I'm just too lazy to maintain it, has been months without water change, the water has gone 45% and needed to turn off the hang on filter (the water level is to low), The water is brown. The fish still alive without oxygen, the vallisneria-gigantea almost took over the tank. Yes, aquarium with plants needs no extensive maintenance.
This AI narrator is dangerously mesmerizing.He could probably get me to believe many things
Tank size and the amount of plants and fish is why no filtration can work. If you have a small tank, it's harder to achieve. But balance between plants and the amount of fish is key.
You’re so right. It’s possible to make no filter in small tanks too, as you said balance is so important. In coming weeks I will publish a video about nano filterless tank with nano fish.
But can you run a big cannister filter on a dirtied tank?
@AndrewCooper-jq5ny If you want you can but it’s not necessary.
I have a 15l tank with no filter and it goes very well
@@FedericaRosa-fz6ts you need oxygen ..or change water every week.. 15L is too tiny

No uprooting plants, no rebuilds. Just scape and leave it alone aside from some trimming or adding materials
Understock your tank, don't over feed and have lots and lots of plants, you do that and maintaining water quality is very easy

Thank you! Sometimes I’m not being at home for a few days. These days I close home heater and I use heater for my aquariums. Temperature around 26c.
You still have to do water changes its not like in the wild that gets topped up with rain water. It needs minerals from the fresh water
I replenish the water that evaporates.
Very nice! Enjoyed watching and hearing all the steps and results chronologically.
Marvellous it felt so good and peaceful while watching them. Love'em bro appreciate your efforts ❤👏
Thank you so much! 🫶🏻
Can you please cover a video on how to choose a tank, sealings type, how to make it sturdy, kind of support it will require like metallic frames to hold pressure. How to know safe limit of my tank, glass thickness and other important aspects of tank
It keep growing more beautiful. You did a great job on this aquarium. I hope it continues to give you pleasure for many years ahead.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Wow Amazing..👌❤️ you are so very fortunate to enjoy with such a beautiful Ecosystem..👏🤝
I wanna say floating plants HELPS ALOT in these tank, i have a 15g tank but use a small hob filter with 0 water change after 2-3 months of cycle, it is doing really well now lol
I too have a dirted tank but your base looks so cleans why is mine full of mulm .... i have to siphon it frequently... do u do it too?
I don’t siphon. Mulm is beneficial, I have mulm in this tank on the back side maybe it’s not noticeable from the video.
Nice video mate!!
Many things that I believe in a watertank you demystified. It was a true class.
Thanks!
Ohh man !! It's fascinating than anything. In future, I absolutely want to have done this .
heater and filter on the left......
beautifull regardless, well done!
I love the set up sir!
I'm definitely doing a large aquarium like this after college. Though I would think some angel fish would be nice as center-piece fish.
Btw mine is a planted 15 gallon for now. It has a betta and some guppies + shrimps and snails. It has been set up for more than a year now and basically on autopilot. I only do a waterchange every 3 months or so if the water is starting to get really yellow because of tanins or I'm in the mood or a guest is coming. Its small HOB filter has no media in it anymore and only being used for water movement. Fish are happy and breeding and the plants are thriving, only has some algae on the rocks and wood which I dont mind and the shrimp for sure love it, and that's it.
Aquariums like these shows that our hobby doesn't need to be complicated. Keep doin what you do sir. Cheers.
Wirklich schön geworden das Aquarium, auch wenn ich selbst immer einen Filter verwenden und Wasserwechsel machen werde...😉
Benim 480litrelik akvaryumum var filtreli sistem ancak dogal akvaryum yapmak istiyorum arastirmalarim sonucu bu videoya geldim. İlham verici, bilgi dolu paylasim icin teşekkür ederim❤
Hoşgeldiniz! Rica ederim faydası olursa mutlu olurum. Ayrıca instagram @peaceofnature.eg hesabımdan da güncel içerikleri takip edebilirsiniz. 🌿🍃
No filter system at all? What a big surprise for me when see your tank so much clean n clear without anything at all, tks.
Great only thing is I wouldn't added maybe twice the amount of sand. that will allow for better filtration, microorganism habitat, and longevity
I love this… hopefully someday I’ll have my own little piece of this
Thank you so much!
Hi. Great video. Did you continue to use the water pump or did you rely soley on the plants for oxygen and secondly is this cold water or tropical, do you use a heater
One of the best aquarium setup, I seen ever congratulations
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
I've never unferstood dirted tanks though. What will happen when the dirt stops having nutrients? All the plants die?
I actually explain everything in the video.
Please make a video to guide us as newbie to make a ecosystem like yours but about 200lit from the level 0. Thank You
I understand the need to keep the fish small but a pair of discus or angel fish would look amazing in there
I'm from Flint, Michigan; what do I need to consider before using my tap water????
Su eklemeyi nasıl yapıyorsunuz acaba ? Bende walstad kurulumu var haftada bir %20sini çıkarıp yeni su ekliyorum doğru mu yapıyorum bilmiyorum. Şuan sadece bitki ve salyangoz var balık eklerimde ölürler diye korkuyorum. 30-40 litrelik bir akvaryum bu arada umarım görürsün de yardımcı olursun Bartınlı çok zor durumdayım 😅
Merhaba, ben sadece eksilen suyu çeşmeden tamamlıyorum. Başka bir şey yapmıyorum. Tankı kuralı ne kadar zaman oldu? Herşey yolundaysa fazla olmamak şartıyla balık ekleyebilirsiniz.
@@peaceofnaturee Eylül ayının başında kurmuştum akvaryumu haftalık su değişimi yapıyorum o zamandan beri bu hafta yapmadım herhangi bir problem yok görünürde bitkilerimde salyangozlarımda gayet iyi beni korkutan akvaryumun küçük olması daha önce hiç yosun sorunu vs yaşamadım o yüzden başıma olmadık bela sararsam halledebilir miyim bilmiyorum
@@peaceofnaturee senden önce father fish'e yazmıştım herkese cevap veren adam bana hala vermedi valla teşekkür ederim yardımcı olduğun için
Rica ederim ne demek
Artık balık ekleyebilirsiniz. Tankınız küçük fakat küçük balıklardan bir grup ekleyebilirsiniz. Tetra, rasbora vs . Yemlemeyi çok az yaparsanız bir problem yaşamazsınız.
what if you put the dirt in some permeable bags so it doesnt get kicked up when u rescape and stuff?
Yes we can do it.
No sirve, las plantas van en la arena y ellas solas buscan la tierra para enraizar, así de ésta manera se ponen más lindas
I own an empty aquarium. Its dimensions are 50*50*50 cm. My friend, who follows you on your page, told me... First... about the clay substrate, how high should it be... and then the second layer of sand, how high should it be? ..and how many plants should we plant...and finally the lighting, how many hours should it be on...and I am sorry for the long question.. I am following you from Palestine
Really nice video. Thanks. I am gonna try this when my aquarium gets to small.
I’m a bit late but thicker layer of sand on the soil will help prevent soil from reaching the water column
If you soak it for about a week beforehand, you won't have much problems with that.
Gorgeous Pond that you can lose time in it... So jealous of it 😍😍 and Wish you for more creative endeavours. I hope one day I afford to make a more to this... Insha-Allah...
Thank you so much!
great video, I am a bit further on the same journey and wanted to share some of my experiences (been going 2 years). After around 6 months the soil started to be depleted of nutrients. I first started to feed more which had no effect, then I added fertilizer in the water column which helped start an algea bloom. The solution for me was eventually adding root tabs. What is your plan once the soil is depleted? I know the idea is that the fish waste would provide enough nutrients for the plants but this didn't work for me.
Hi could u share what plants were used in this tank? Which plants would u recommend will thrive in a low tech tank? Thanks
Hi, here is some of plants I use and I recommend for low tech tank:
Slavonia Natans
Pistia
Subulata
Echinodorus Americanus
Cryptocoryne
Anubias
Lagenandra Meeboldii Red
Ludwigia Repens
Hygrophila Corymbosa
Pogostemon Octopus
Myriophyllum Mattogrossense
Java Moss
Pinna
Lotus
Bolbitos asiacata
Afflame
Rotala
@@peaceofnaturee thanks so much for this!
@@tesssia9500 You’re welcome!
What plants did you use? I have a tank with lots of jungle val. I have a bunch of algae and i want to add more plants.
How did you stick plants on the driftwood please? Is that glue water proof?
I use peace lillies , spider lillies, and photos plants on my tanks..I have a 48 year old Monstera ...each leaf is 2 metre in diameter..No way I could put some of her branches to grow into any tank.However there are cultivated smaller growing versions..so maybe I get one of those 😊
I like a little surface agitation to keep biofilm off the top of the water, a filter usually brings that but I could see just doing a small powerhead near the top.
hello from my fishroom channel in chicago, where I am an awestruck subscriber to yours! tell me if you can is the fast growing feathery pink and gold stem that you keep pruning Rotala Wallichii?
Hello! It’s type of Myriophyllum.
How do you maintain this tank will please share light set up also maintenance guide
Wow what a beautiful ecosystem thank you i got to learn a lot thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much! 🌿🍃
Hi. Can we use compost from supermarkets as substrate?
I see people are doing but I didn’t try.
Absolutely stunning man! Wow! 💚
Thank you so much!
have you ever dosed this tank with fertz ? Also put any root tabs or something? How do you deal with nutrient deficiencies? I am asking this because I am using exact substate but one of the plant leaves are curling and i have no clue what is happening
Woww....bringing nature to the aquarium...a small world of water.....
Harika olmuş hocam eline sağlık.
Çok teşekkür ederim. 🌿
saw this beautiful video more than 10 times you are doing grate ,Can you please do a video for what plants are you used in your beautiful natural aquarium❤
Thank you so much! I will make.
@@peaceofnaturee ❤u bro
How is the process of water charges ...
Which day you change water in how many days...
What is the maintenance...?
I found your channel today and subscribed to it today 👍
Please talk more about the lighting for your setup.
👍
Loved the narration n ur setup....absolutely lovely
what is the lamp you have in there ? and what setings if there is anny ?
nice ecosystem. Thank you for upload. Looking forward to future update.
Thank you so much!
are you not classing the powerhead as a filter?
It’s just for waterflow, there is nothing in it.
Cảm ơn đã chia sẻ, Đây chính là đỉnh cao của nghệ thuật.
❤wow....thats really amazing..... one day , i will also surely build a setup like this bro
Merhaba! 1-2 hafta önce sana sormuştum, cevabını vermiştin. Toplam toprak kalınlığı 6 cm'dir. Bunun kaç cm'si kum ve bahçe toprağıdır? Şu turuncu deniz yosununun adı ne? Lifli bitki Macaristan'dan hoş geldiniz!
Merhaba! 3 cm bahçe toprağı, 3 cm kum yapabilirsiniz.
Harika video! Yerli üretim ifadesini görmesem Türk demezdim. Eline sağlık!
Çok teşekkür ederim! 🙏🏻🌿
Thanks for this beautiful video,I've learned so much fr this,thank u ❤️
Thank you so much!
No filter, no CO2,...what's that on the top left in your tank? Heater? No water movement? Any powerhead?
It’s a water pump for little water movement and yes there is a heater.
I have almost same looking tank like a forest but only shrimp guppy and tetra is it enough fish or shall i add more?
It’s hard to answer this question without knowing more information about your tank.
@@peaceofnaturee its a 25 gallon tank with like 12 total fishes.does fishes produce co2 for plants ?
Who needs filters when you have nature on your side? ❤
😄😄🌿🫶🏻 love you mate
I will even watch a 3hr video of ecosystem if you uploaded
I’m planning to make a calm video for this weekend 🤞
thanks for sharing, this is what im looking for......
You’re welcome!
With your knowledge n experience..adding a filter will be a step forward..
Thank you so much!
This is true aquaristics should look like, clap clap bro! Make some more
Thank you so much!
Beautiful setup ❤ and i got one more reason to buy another tank 😅
Thank you so much! 😂😂🌿
