"Ach du lieber, mein schatz"! Gorgeous! When I was a teenager (I'm 79 now), my "life" was my 29gal aquarium, full of beautiful tropical fish & plants. I loved the plants as much as the fish! Crypto Cordata (reddish color) & straight & corkscrew Vals. The Vals grew like mad & they "waved" back & forth!!! The Vals multiplied by runners; made hundreds of "babies"! My Sumatra Barbs looked great against the grasses. What a GREAT JOY in my past life!!!
@@AquariumGardensAquascaping awesome work. Thanks for the video. I've reduced the light, increased water changes and reduced spare food so hopefully algae will reduce. I honestly think my tank gets too much natural light though as it faces a window.
@@AquariumGardensAquascaping What can I do? Floating plants are illegal here :( All we can get is duck weed and duck weed is worse than algae WAY WORSE!
My 2nd comment! The back of my 29gal aquarium was painted with a crystalline deep bluish green paint, which added great "depth" to the aquarium. The waving Vals against this deep background looked "mysterious"! Your aquascape would look so much better this way! Thanks for bringing forth wonderful old memories! "Gesundheit"!!!
I thought aquascaping was very difficult..but u made it so simple and easy..and the tank looks absolutely beautiful...but aquascaping is an expensive affair only for the rich
@@boniboni4912 There are a lot of things you can just make or get yourself, for example you can make driftwood by boiling some wood down, you can get rocks by just going out in nature... the soil can also be made from normal soil, at least I guess..
Oh no it's not that expensive. You just need to know how to spend your money. In my country Vietnam a 5 - 8 gallon tank cost about 20 - 25$(Really good quality brand new) and a filter set cost about 10 - 15$(Also very good quality) and you can get sand and stone gravel 4kg for just 5$. But since people like to ripping off each other you need to know where to look for aquascaping goods :D. The livings are also at good price. With about 5$ you can get a dozen of guppies or Zebra Danios Red Eye Tetra and Black Skirt Tetra or Betta and even some odd corydoras. Some loaches too. The plants are at about 1 - 3$(Depend). The only that is expensive in my mind is that the shipping fee :D These motorbike guy are really ripping off though.
GraphicMemesForDramaticPeople guys I found a LFS that have very good prices on wood, rocks and soil (the only one in my city that sells those things) my problem is that I live in a very far and small city and shipping is expensive, plus I live in a desert where you can’t find the most common safe trees, but I’m planning to go and find myself some good cholla wood and some nice rocks :D
Fiora Rosa well my biggest aquarium at the moment I got it second hand really cheap (28g), and I already got some soil, sand, rocks and wood for good prices, the biggest expense are the plants, heaters and the air pumps, I have almost everything running with diy filters, for lights I use a window, and as you guys say little by little I’m going to get more and more equipment!
Just realized I’ve seen this particular video before. Very informative. I really enjoyed it. I will definitely continue to follow your channel and learn as much as I can in preparation for my first tank. 👍🏻
I like your idea to put woll filter to avoid soil getting mixed with gravel 👍🏻 Gorgeous scape btw I'm about to make scape like this but in nano cube 30cm simple scape like this 😁
You earned my subscription with this lovely project! I only wish the U.S. had such great design and marketing in those lovely plant containers and selections! I have product design envy for sure.
Very clean and peaceful layout. True to river bottom look... well done! Glad to see you reinforced the crew on deck... Good for you Dave The future only brings good things to those who dare. 🙏⛩️ Namasté Stay strong you both, have fun and keep the good work. ✌️😄😍 Aquarium Gardens rocks! Best regards from PORTUGAL >
You would think nothing could be more natural than a stream theme. Yet,its aquariums with mountain ranges that are called "natural aquariums"..not that rough rocks are never found near streams...but smooth rocks are like 99.% of all streams. Slow moving or fast. I do know for sure if you have active fish..rough rocks are a mistake. Or skittish fish...they will bash into them if frightened. Go smooth.
Stunning aquascape Team AG! I adore the clean, minimal look and the colour palette is gorgeous. What were the small stones you used on the sand and do you usually have the Yangtze stone in stock?
A nice challenge id love to see a youtuber do, is i have these little thai micro crabs, smaller than a u.s dime each, and i have about 25 in a 5.5 gallon thriving. Id love to see you make a tank that models the river theyre native to, the chao praya river in thailand. They live in the mountainy streams of the river and thats the only place they come from, no ones been able to breed em in captivity. Id love to see how they do in a aquarium designed like their natural habitat, i tried as good as i can and love my tank, but they havent bred yet 🤔
Hi Dave- Wondering if you could use this aquascape as a low tech system. Would you have to substitute any of the plant species? If so, with which other species would you go? It’s absolutely beautiful! I’m a newb and am doing several months of research before actually setting up my system. Watching this video made me think “Why can’t I set up a high tech tank?” I understand all the scientific principles (I’m a botanist) as I’ve watched many videos and read many articles. Would you recommend a first time aquarist go with a low tech tank? I just want to do it right, right out of the gate. I’m a little bit of a perfectionist, you see. I would appreciate any suggestions you might make. Thanks. Subscribed...
Hi there! Yes you can run without CO2 with these plants, just lower the lighting level. Also check out our NON CO2 video for plant suggestions 👍 non CO2 low energy is good place to start!
Great vid thanks but I wonder if you could give a break down of cost for the setup on your vids,as I would like to reciprocate it but I think it is out of my budget thank you.
Where do I get co2 *goes outside gets air then connects bottle to tank Idk much about the co2 what’s it for and like do you need a specific thing for it
Zero X you can buy co2 bottles and hook them up to the aquarium. This means you can use a wider variety of plants. I'm sure there are loads of videos and articles you can research for more in depth info
Is this aquarium low iron arylic?? if it is , is it possible to get this set up in a lower grade percentage of iron from crystal clarity? Wheres the filter??? Also would you eventually lower your co2 or turn it off somedays because it eventually adds up??? How would you text the amount in water
The aquarium is our Optiwhite 45 by AG. The filter is external and sits under the cabinet connected to glass lily pipes. CO2 is connected to a timer, comes on a few hours before lights and turns off when lights go off. Measure using a drop checker. All products on our website www.aquariumgardens.co.uk 👍

Algae "Let us introduce ourselves."
We have the light turned down and some floating plants to help avoid it 🙂

Lop so true
@MissKitty they suck at eating algae off the glass.
I'm so glad this came up on my screen. It's exactly an example of what I've been wanting in a river style tank. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
ME GUSTA LOS ACUARIOS GRACIAS..... Aquarium Gardens..... POR EL VIDEO
Very clean and beautiful style. I also like the colors of the sand and stones! 👍🏻
this was way too interesting lol.
i couldn't look away! simply stunning
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video and it was helpful 🙂👍
Beautiful stones, I have some, now I understand that mines are boring...but I will pick some new ones.
Very nice scape. It is good to get a new upload from AG.

Wow love it! Looks amazing. Any recommendations for aquascaping a tank more tall than long? I'm stumped and looking for ideas.
Simply and nice scape :)!
Very nice.
Simple and beautiful! You are genius!
Beautiful tank!
That's a really nice addition to the showroom.
Muito lindo. Vou me inspirar nesse para montar o meu. Parabéns!

Best of luck.

So beautiful! **Looks over at my nasty pond scum aquarium** 😭
Nicely created. Thanks for the upload!
Hello. Frodo my rocks are covered with algae. How can I destroy and deal with these algae without disturbing the tank layout? Can you help me?
Can you trim val nana? I heard the leaf will melt away if you cut part off...
Awesome scape! Just found your channel
Thanks! hope you enjoy the videos 🙂👍

No need for CO2 diffuser, just big companies trying to scam you. I fill mine with sparkling water and the pufferfish love it!
Where can I buy the rocks please?
Great vid thanks but I wonder if you could give a break down of cost for the setup on your vids,as I would like to reciprocate it but I think it is out of my budget thank you.
What do you use to fill up your tank? What's the name of the tool you use?
Really nice achievable aquascape , but please check spelling on titles and sub titles
Susan Bayley thanks Susan glad you liked it, all noted 👍
❤️👍
I used garden soil, river sand and river gravel small size.. Total Cost 0.0$.. The only thing that cost me 2.5$ is plant seeds..

@@AquariumGardensAquascaping Unfortunately the tank is only available in the store.?. Im in usa
That aquarium really height only 16cm? Wow, looks pretty tall
What's the small crypt you put between the rocks and such?
Cryptocoryne parva
What if i live in the US and i want to buy these plants?
Why do so many water changes in the beginning?
Does anyone recommend red clay at the base of the soil?
When do you start doing ferts
Do you use rodi water or regular tap?
Tap water with Seachem Prime 👍
Amazing tank new sub but why can't I keep my plants alive probably to week of a light huh..
CO2 injection and daily plant feeding really help the plants as well 👍
@@AquariumGardensAquascaping ok darn I don't know how to use that then.
