Many of you asked me for a tutorial, so here it is. I hope this helps.
I used de-chlorinated water all throughout.
The soil is generic organic potting soil. Main ingredients in the soil are vermicompost and chicken manure compost.
Plants:
Hairgrass
(Eleocharis parvula)
Baby Tears
(Hemianthus callitrichoides)
Pearl grass
Hemianthus micranthemoides
Gymnopedie 2

This is mainly a tutorial for setting up this tank: th-cam.com/video/TYrqG3ORTGo/w-d-xo.html
Windowsill dirted vase is very difficult to maintain, especially until the plants get established.
This is a great idea, though. How are they coming along two months later?
which type of light do use for this bowls, (watt)

very nice video, very nice hands too.

How do you go about "getting all the bubbles out"? Do you just stir? Or is there something specific you use to draw the air out?
For those where gardening is in the blood, this is wonderful for those who've gotten too old to dig trees and shrubs anymore. Can garden in miniature in the house - build whole landscapes to delight the eye.
this was the most soothing and relaxing thing ive seen in a long time. thank you for making this video
shut up
Shut up
I agree. The music and him putting everything together.
What way does the window face?
Finally, something I have the resources and skill to (maybe) complete successfully!
this is so beautiful??? the simplicity is satisfying

Things I didn't even know I was into...
Dude, you had me at clear chopstick. Great vid.
I used to have aquarium, dropped a water from pipes like mad, had lots of fishes and some lasted for years :d
Your movies wants me to go back to fish tanks. Great work man.
No Name it’s not a movie it’s a fucking TH-cam video
Red tiger lotus is great for those tall floor vase tanks. I bought one on impulse at Walmart. A floor vase (identical to the tall one in your video), aquarium gravel, and I rescued one of their bettas. They were selling mixed bundles of mystery bulbs and I dropped them in. No ferts or soil or filter and the one bulb that grew filled the tank and sent red lily pads to the top. Had it next to my LED desk lamp. I accidentally nuked the plant with a peroxide experiment (dealing with an algae bloom). Burned everything completely off the plant, it just grew right back. It's crazy that that plant isn't more popular.
This video is older but I just found it. I am successful with all my planted tanks but your book suggestion in another video and now this has me wanting to try these techniques and put water vases in all my windows. I use anoxic filters in my bigger aquariums but have never needed all these water changes and adding ferts like so many have suggested. I like these style of tanks. Thanks for your sharing!
awesome video background music is soo relaxing.. will be looking forward for more videos...

this is how videos should be done. Letting the work speak for itself. no "HEY GUYS; ITS YA BOY..."
dammit man that is soothing, great job making underwater jungle
I wanna do this in mason jars. thank you for this tutorial!
I wonder how he keeps the cat from knocking those over
Lydia Barbry some cats just don’t do that kind of thing
Simple. Don't have a cat
@@TheAlaindrea the thing is, he has a cat. Her name is curry and sometimes she appears on his videos!
Probably he teached her to not touch the tanks!
@@lilacKurage didn't his cat die just recently?
@@bendover04me91 no, as far as the last post on his community tab says, she's alive and doing vet visits
Edit: about 30 minutes ago he updates she's getting better! Normal weight and smaller stones :)
Thank you so much for this! I have shares your channel with all my family and friends. I love what you do and your passion for it!
1:56 I got surprised by that note
lol same the first time i watched this. i just noticed this is 3 years old T^T
In the day I use these videos for entertainment purposes, in the night I use them for sleeping purposes.
Oh damn I tried to make one of these a while ago and failed completely, this is getting me hyped up again.
So relaxed. I like watching this before sleeping.
I love your channel so much man, just wish you updated more often.
This is what you were looking for

It’s actually Gymnopédie No.2 covered by Kevin Macleod 🤦♀️
It’s not that hard... just check the description.
@@alsocupcakes8885 ikr, as a classical performing arts student in MIDDLE SCHOOL, there's a clear difference between the pieces, and I also found out all of them thanks to Foo the Flowerhorn :)
Phong Huynh Same! What a coincidence! That channel has introduced me to a lot of classical music.
Phong Huynh Wait, forgot where I was commenting for a sec.
@@alsocupcakes8885 listen Joep beving, he plays very well
Update video please?
The maker of this video already dumped his plants.
He also know this method doesnot work
The plants died after two days therefore he showed another tank depicting the Aquarium plants of his friend.....
@@dhinchakdhichang9375 Lol. did the same method as the realy small one, Plants are growing like crazy and i put some snails and 4 shrimp in it, snails are growing and eating good and the shrimps too. only my heater doesnt fit in so the shrimp wont get fry..
@@dhinchakdhichang9375 is the info saying it doesn't work in another video?
I can guarantee you that only the pearl grass would survive even in low light environment. The other vessels are too small and it takes a few weeks for the bacteria to settle. Mine started to die at first then recover and now it's growing steadily, but it took me 2-3 months to get the plants comfortable in that environment.
Nice idea, I really like how 'out of the box' you think with all things aquaria!
thanks.
It's like witnessing a master artist create a masterpiece.
Lol loved the mini siphon... the syringe. Was a awesome idea to start it... god knows I would have gotten a mouth full of water
I have a question: How do you prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs in the water? I live in a tropical area where mosquitoes breed in any source of water they can find, so I'm curious to know if anyone has faced this problem as well.
Utilize tela
Abate
wouldn't a couple of fish fix the issue? at least they eat any insects or mosquitoes larvae that gets into my fish tanks
Put Betta or Guppy fish in, I am sure there Will no longer any insect larvae in there. Any small fish okay, but some fish Will destroy your plant. Neon Tetra and Danio Rarios is the best choice
@@ahmadyulyfirmansah5937 wayyyy too small for those fish. Get a actual tank if you want fish to help with the issue.
dude your videos are perfect to learn AND chill, thanks!
Nice tutorial. Deserve following ;) Keep it up.
Ver nice 😊 video pretty much straight forward... Love it simple and elegant .. thanks for the idea!!! I have many large vases and you gave me INSPIRATION to try a couple of displays like the one u just made.....
when I watch your uploads it satisfy me😌😌😌
i'm getting obsessed with this! Great great ideas..make some update pls! even short term, it is great learing from you.
I'm not an expert of aquatic plant (i'm into terrestrial tropical plants, orchids and blabla) so I would really really like a video which explain a bit the fast grow and slow grow plants...and also the different variable you have to take care in this..just a selfish suggestion eheh
pls keep uploading video! big fan here
If you're gonna try this, I would suggest doing the one like the bowl, or the 5 gallon one, where I used a heater and a CFL light. that would have the stable environment for the plants to do well. anything below 26°C or 78°F, plants might not grow fast. use a timer, so that the photo period is pretty exact each day. photo period should be preferably more than 10 hours as plants think it's summer light hours and grow faster. the key to not getting algae is having a close to perfect amount of light. your CFL or florescent should be around 2watts per gallon. use coolwhite, or 6500K. anything higher wattage or wrong color, you'll probably get algae. If you use LED, you might get algae. water will get brown in the beginning. a little brown is ok, but too much, you gotta do 50% water change. make sure your cap gravel is thicker than the soil. you probably want floating plants to help the water quality. b/c the leaves are above the water, they'll get all the co2 they need and grow well.
In my experience, the best plants for this kind of setup are:
Fast growers: water nymph(Najas guadalupensis), Narrow Leafed Anacharis(Egeria najas), rotala indica.
vallisneria only grew fast after it got established, which took nearly 3 months. int he beginning, it was kind of a slow grower.
Slow growers, but did well: dwarf hairgrass, bacopa caroliniana, java moss
best floating plant by far: duckweed. salvania did ok. I also tried amazon frog bits, and they grew too fast also and block too much light. water lettuce did too well and got too big and blocked too much light.
There were other plants, but some just died and got buried by other plants. plants compete with each other, so certain combination of plants won't do well in some cases. sort of like dandelion vs lawn grass. if you put the two together, the dandelion will win...
you also gotta consider the height of the aquarium. some plants grow tall and you have to trim them. some plants take a long time to recover if you trim them. during that time, they might stall, and algae might grow on them.
healthy and growing plants release chemicals that naturally fight algae. if the plants aren't healthy and stall from the shock of trimming, they can't produce the chemical to fight off the algae.
there are quite a lot of expensive plants in this hobby. I would suggest staying away from them for this kind of setup. more expensive plants usually require very mature tank and high tech with co2 injection. hope this helps. good luck.
Wow, thank you so much, this is really helpful! yeah i'm gonna try three or four bowls of 1, 2 and 3 gallons with only plant, i've started today.. just preparing the materials.. im gonna use artificial light and i'm gonna try with no heater just because my enviroment is pretty warm all the year.. I have some time every day to care for this.. Well thank you again so much i finally found a new stimulating project ;) I will keep you posted if you are interested !
yea, good luck and let me know how it goes.
i've done this 3 times. Every vase works so well, i have to trim like i never did before. 3 month already, doing great. thank you again
Soil is a very nutrient rich substrate so you definitely have nutrients. Keep a plant in an aquarium with virtually no nutrients and it will die, a body of water without nutrients will not happen unless you use RODI water.
Your water also has CO2, it balances itself with the atmospheric air and a filter isnt really necessary for planted tanks (unless you plan to stock heavily), what matters is to have a good flow of water but again, not necessary in small bodies of water.
Anyways, I get where you are coming from and the video is definitely interesting, it shows the assets of dirted tanks and how to correctly set them up (making sure not to leave bubbles in the dirt etc...). I believe that with strong light and a good substrate you can grow anything. I was able to grow a relatively demanding plant, Ammania gracilis, on a dirted tub at my yard but it obviously got very strong light. Was this practical? No, it is impossible to get the same ammount of sunlight inside my house (even if I leave it in front of a window) but was it possible? Hell yeah. To grow this plant in my aquariums I had to use dirt as a substrate, liquid ferts, good light and co2 (I was able to get away with DIY CO2 being diffused by a powerhead), it also grows better and faster inside because of the other additions I made, but as said it had a decent growth outside.
Overall it was a great and well edited video. Congratulations.
Corypiscis Mexicanus
I think he meant "no added" co2 etc
if he has fish in bigger setups it will have nutrients
Thank you for your work. Video was informative and enjoyable to watch.
You have my sub. Your vids are incredible, music choice is excellent, and everything you write about is detailed and very respectable 👍👍
I wish i could do this... i might think of trying. i love anmals, having an all natural fish tank, or bowl would be so cool... lot of work though!!
What happens if you don't remove any of the bubbles? Just wondering
The bubbles linger and build up until the vase explodes, I did it once, there was glass everywhere. I accidentally stepped on the glass then there was blood everywhere. Then the cops show up and they’re all like “We have reason to suspect that Clint Orwell was killed in this house” and I’m all like “My vase blew up that’s my blood” and they’re all like “We’ll have to check the blood for DNA” and then somehow the blood matched that dumbass “Clint Orwell” guy, and then they start saying that I owed this guy $38,625 and that they have overwhelming evidence against me, just because I had his, I mean, MY blood everywhere and I had a ton of reason to kill that goddamn money grubbing monster! Can you believe it?
@@thegrasswhistle5238 genius😂😂😂
Grass Whistle wait 🤯🤯🤯 LMAO
@@thegrasswhistle5238 That escalated quickly.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do an update I love of when you make these videos!😀
Jeez - you've got a lot of patience taking out all the bubbles.
At 44sec turn you volume all the way up rip
Lmao
Luv the invention of lil reusable plastic bottle cut into shape , that could be used for a hanging plant container, blood worm feeding station or what not. Now I just gotta find me a teeny plastic drink bottle ...lol
watched this so many times and I'm still not sick of it. :) I'm still jealous because u dont have to worry about mosquitoes there.xD Great work! i look forward to see more vidoes of yours. love the latest vid of your flowerhorn eating the garlic and cucumber.
Thanks Foo!
You are my hero😁😁😁So much inspiration!!Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing this, I was starting a new project and your tank inspired me
A NEW SERIES YESS OMG!
AMAZING
nice creativity
something different than everyday
design
Everytime i listen to your background music im imagining minecraft xD
Erik Satie makes anything soothing.
These are cute!
Let me guess - it's going to be an oscar tank.
Emory Smith nah, Oscars are salt water right? Wabye a gold fish or a betta. I know plecos are salt water and I saw a oscar with a pleco in a bowl.
*whoosh*
***** I do to It was sarcasm
***** Ive kept Fish since I was 8 years old
***** its fine
Please post a DIY aquarium from scratch and also let us know where you buy your glass and materials you use. Thanks!
All the videos you made are beutiful
What is necessary for the maintenance of those vases?
Also, a tutorial to make a fish tank would be SO COOL
so why add all the water and siphon some out to plant? why not just add a little?
because the water's weight helps get bubbles out first?
awesome video thank you
This is great! Could I do this in a bigger space and add only snails with no fert, CO2 or filter?
Love your channel
cannot wait for update
Awesome work
I just went and got a jar for this thx
That's so pretty. 💚
Man I can't wait so see the new FH tank....so excited bro..^_^!!!!!
The music is like a theme song to a tim burton movie.
2:58 the cat wants to help
I was coming along well, and suddenly it stopped. You need to do a new video.
I may try this in the future am ready for likely plant death ahaha. Similar to gardening above the water level.
Hey I want to try this in my office, can I set up an ecosystem similar to the bigger tanks that you share on your channel?
Beautiful!
this relaxing me, and is also beautify!
you are god of many creatures. congratulartions
Good video, nice style
If I do this, and add cherry Shrimp, will it survive and thrive?
I sleeped 2 mins later
Very pretty, but how do you stop mosquitoes from breeding there? I live in a tropical country, mosquitoes are a nightmare.
This is the same song NCT used for their Yearbook Photo shoot

How often do you need to maintain these sorts of setups?
hand hairs lol love your vids
I love this idea‼️ thanks for uploading, I've just subscribed now for more
Dwarf Baby Tears? Wow, I wouldn't think that a plant with such high light and CO2 requirements would thrive in a pico tank. How did it go? Please post an update.
hi friend, it may be a bit ridiculous for doing translation through translate. I've done exactly what you've done, see if I can be successful? I only used chicken manure that was pulled at the bottom of the mill and I put it on the ground by eliminating it from the sieve. I used 3 cm soil on top. I'll add shrimp after 1 week of water still blurred
This is some great music man
What kind of inverts you think could live or better yet thrive in these environments once the plants become established?
Hey sweet I have the same watch
What is the name of the watch? It looks cool.

Would love to make these but I have some questions: If these are for the window sill, how do you avoid algae? And why must the water sit for 24 hours? (Please no one say "that's so the chlorine evaporates", that's not how it works. Especially with dechlorinated water)
As mentioned in the pinned comment, this is very hard to do to be successful. The temps, the setup, the duration of sunlight all gotta be pretty balanced for it to work. If the plants are doing very well, you won't get much algae. If the plants don't do well, it can get algae. Adding snails will probably help. the 24 hour wait is just for the substrate to settle and the cloudiness of the water to settle. You could skip the 24 hour wait if the water is clean. I don't recommend this for beginners. This was more of a tutorial. I did a proper tutorial later with fluorescent light and a heater.
Starting watch case of enjoying the grooming and shrimp. What music is this?
how do you stop the algae from growing?
Hi please do a update video! I would love to see the progress
Why is the removal of the bubbles so important? I see you do this with your live tanks as well
Im pretty sure people have had experiences where the tank... blows up? Idk
amazing great video
mmm i love your videos 💫
I wonder can we use planting soil for this
AH MAKE MORE OF THESE YES I LUV IT HAHA
It is a great and simple tutorial. Following the rule of the previous video you said you use 2-3 watts light PCL bulb for each gallon. Let say this will have a 1.5 Liter , how much light would be good for this set-up?
I would use 8~10 watts.
I got a 5w LED bulb that I have on my house and I will monitor how it goes.
I have done the setup following your video. It was simple to do it, I just had to re-do the process as I have initially put to much water with the soil and later added the gravel. That was messy. So, I understood after that we need to add just a little of water and do not go over the soil to make the gravel sit on top and hold all the dust under it. The water is crystal clear!!! Thanks a lot
Very nice 😍
ur the best. thank u :)
It's funny how I setted up a nano vase/glass like that a couple of days ago. Do you still have the betta tank that you showed at the end? It'd be cool to see another update of it
I actually haven't trimmed it recently, and it's kinda overgrown. maybe after I trim it, I might do another update.
Is it safe to assume the plastic bottle with holes was just to disperse the force of dropping the water and to not stir up sediment and dislodge your vegetation placement?
Yes.
So just use organic potting soil, and gravel. No filter? No Co2? No aquarium lights? I am going to try this. But I am concerned about algae with the sunlight. I guess if you do water changes every other day it should be ok right?
well, yes....but this windowsill setup can be very difficult to make it work. until the plants get established, it'll require a lot of babysitting.
This is mainly a tutorial for my 5 gallon CFL betta tank b/c many people asked me for it. I think if you're trying a dirted tank for the first time, you should try with a CFL and a heater one.
