The hardscape is amazing and just by watching the setup I learned so much! Thanks Filipe on bringing this workshop to us! Awesome video! THANK YOU!
Those guys rocks...this scape is so dynamic, just wow!
Was great scaping at Aqua Flora Felipe :)
Top level, your concept for this tank was on point!
Very nice Steve...
Very dynamic, very nice, congrats
Can't wait to see this scape mature. Steven did an excellent job with this scape, I have always wanted to scape with Frodo stone and do a scape with massive stones like this one. This is definitely some great inspiration for future scapes for me. Thanks for sharing.
Great work! I have a lot of respect for Steven and Mr. Fukada but I think Your works are still best in the world :) Greetings from #notificationsquad
Thank you 😊👍
Love the tiered levels in the scape, something new to me 💚🌱
Nice blend of quality aquascaping and dance music. I like it a lot. Top!
Very impressive Filippe. Fukada and Steven did a great job, hope to see this one in real life some time.
All the best to you, good luck @home, stay save
Thank you Filipe, great video, very nice
I love the extreme hardscape 🙏🏽👍🏻👌🏻
Thanks Daniel!
Amazing aquascape! Superb!
Wow master Fukada helping Steven...it must be an honour and big pressure at the same time.
MySupra86 Steven is the next champ
They belong to TAU, so it's normal for them to work together. In the next video Steven will assist Fukada.
Not nearly as much pressure as dueling against Fukada-san at Green Aqua the week before! lol But actually I felt more nervous representing Japan at CIPS last November-- my plan was even more ambitious and I had no help (except for some tips from Filipe about onsite installation at the end). Compared to then, this was easy!
@@SteveScapesYT I saw you helping Fukada-san with translation...it was really good, cheerful and professional. Thanks for it.
Mais um excelente apresentação 👍
Great bold hardscape.
Mais uma excelente apresentação
Great hardscape.
I wish you health
Regards
Great hardscape! Fast forward to grown-in please!
I will try to bring some updates, or at least some pictures because with Corona virus I will not be able to flight to Netherlands for about two months... More or less!
what a big boulder.... but.... sure its beautiful... Asia need it also... XD
❤❤❤❤❤❤
such a foreign body like styrofoam in the aquarium, really very lifelike🤔🧐😱
You can use, it's not a problem. That will allow you to use heavy rocks and avoid them to stay in contact with the bottom glass.
Hi there Steven. xD
Hi Andrew lol
TAMSAK done host @jimtravel tv
Y prefer filipe style, cheers from Argentina
Thanks 😊👍
Hi Filipe, a very heavy hardscape layout there. Not sure what to make of it so far , maybe it will grow on me as it matures .
What were all the small pieces of rolled paper towel ? stuck between the rocks, were they glued in ?.
As always thanks for sharing .
I wouldn't dare to have such thing at home... My heart would be beating fast all the time 😅
The paper was glued to secure the rocks and avoid them to move or slide on the bottom. That was the only way to keep the big one secured on the top!
Difícil é fazer aquascaping com o Cácá, como eu faço. Por exemplo, plantas para fazer um bonito tapete, não há, tens quer fazer com o que há cá ... é o Cácá.
😂
😳😳😳 nossa, que peso.
Só as rochas já ficaria lindo. Kk
Imagina mover o aquário para o local definitivo... 😅
@@FAAOAquascaping há de se pensar num dispositivo pra isso não ?
Serviria mais pra quem ultilizasse bastante.
Tipo uma daquelas paletadeiras sabe.... Mas é complicado mesmo assim....kkk
@@wendelsarti8853movemos a braços! Não havia outra forma.
What is this substructure? The white with the holes? How is that called?
THX
That's styrofoam, we use it in the warehouse to transport aquatic plants.
What is the purpose of the lava rock in the substrate?
Giving volume without compromise the weight. This scape was already too heavy!
Great question! Like Filipe said. Could be pumice too. Point is just to use a media that doesn't compact and lift the scape to the point where you want to put the soil in. Also to make it lighter for Filipe xD
Hi Filip,I need some advice/ information ,me and my family left home for some urgent work ,we thought it will finish it in 2 days but unfortunately I can't go to my home next week.i didn't planned .how long fish will survive without any food? please let me know your experience
Lakshmi Narayanan they’ll last a week easily without any problems.
Yes, one week without any issues. It's better to don't give food rather then use those blocks of food that will just create lot of organic waste.
Thank you Freddie and Filip
Nice video, I made a channel to show you can make small planted aquariums out of glass bottles and I keep a few shrimp and snails in a glass drinks dispenser! My latest video shows there shrimp fighting over an algae wafer!

Was the Juncus Repens your idea Filipe? :D
No but Steven got inspiration from my tanks and since I use it a lot, this plant fits perfectly in his scape.
Juncus is cool 😎
Yup. Filipe was talking about how much he loves Juncus and I realized “I want some too!” Saw the beautiful Juncus at Aqua Flora and had to have some! Fills a similar role to Potamogeton gayi in my IAPLC 2019 layout, but think Juncus matches this better.
@@SteveScapesYT LOL!!!!! Filipe must have at least 50% of his stock portfolio in J Repens!
🤣🤣😂😂
Do you know how much the hardscape costed for this tank?
A little bit... I have seen Frodo stone at 8-10€ kg in stores, we didn't weight all rocks but I believe we will have something around 100-150kg just in rocks.
@@FAAOAquascaping so over €800 in rocks!!! Haha
Filipe Oliveira Thank you Aqua Flora! lol I only use cheap lava in my layouts so it’s a treat xD
Filipe I need to say it now. I love your videos and your aquascapes, but the audio levels in your videos are super hard to deal with. I struggle to hear voices without raising the volume and then suddenly the music comes in realllly loud. Can you balance this out?
It's been bothering me for ages. But I finally decided to post this comment. 🙏🏽
It's just your channel I have this issue with. I watch your videos on TV with a high end sound system so constantly having to control the volume is annoying lol.
Thanks for your feedback! If I check this in the computer it's OK, music can be louder but it's not noticeable. I believe if we use a sound system can cause that. I will try to balance it in the future by decreasing the volume of music. 👍
@@FAAOAquascaping thank you Filipe! As I say, it really is just your channel. Otherwise I'd have checked my gear lol.
@@greyfoxindy but all videos? Even using a dedicated microphone?
@@FAAOAquascaping yes sir. Quite a lot of your videos are this way. I can raise the volume to hear you speak. And then suddenly you'll play the music which is by contrast much louder and so I have to yoyo my volumes haha. 😂
@@greyfoxindy so maybe the best way is to lower down even more the volume of music. I'm already decreasing it a bit since regular audio from microphone is lower than music, maybe I need to lower even more.
Please keep me posted about it, I will appreciate it.
Very nice video, there are also some decent sized aquariums in the UK too, I went to the SeaLife Center, Birmingham and made two videos of what I photographed and filmed there, they are on my TH-cam channel! There are strange sharks with three fins, stingrays, big and small fish plus some unusual life like Sea Horses! I made a channel to show you can make small planted aquariums out of glass bottles and I keep a few shrimp in a glass drinks dispenser!
the video is good, but I can't hear what they are saying. But everything is else is the best...
agree. the audio is poor.
Hello, beautiful aquarium. Regards from Poland sub and I like it. I invite you to me
