Only God could have made that aquascape any better. You pulled me in deeper when I saw my most favorite plant, Amazon sword, being heavily used. Thank You for this awe-inspiring scape!
Thanks so much 👍🙏
Hi George.
Hope you are well.
I love the Aquascape, it looks fantastic.
You can already see how it will look in the next few months.
Great job.
Thank you for sharing.
I love your work, it really is inspirational.
Fantastic scape, George! Loving life and creating amazing tanks!
This video I think highlights the fact that once you have everything prepared it can come together nicely without drama. Ok we may not have Georges experience but if we use the steps just like this video shows then we will all have great scapes like this one. Thanks as always George and the frequent uploading keeps us all buzzing. Love it!
Thanks Steve. I always look forward to your comments 👍🙏
Absolute pleasure :)
Really great scape love the contrast of the rock and gravel. Your dedication is at the top keep it up!
Love the hardscape, the plant are a extra layer. Good filming, you’ve made us feel as if we where there. . George, your commitment to your viewers is 2nd to none. You seem to read all comments on current vids. This is what makes you stand out head and shoulders above the rest. Fantastic job. Tom
Thanks Tom! I try to engage as much as possible with you guys. My channel would be nothing without you so it’s the least I can do. 👍
Really love this tank!!! Do you run it with co2? My tank is a little smaller also with kessil’s (the smaller amazon suns) i can not get rid of algea on my echinodora. Do i need co2???

Even tough I’m getting a 50 to 100 gallon tank this was helpful to give me more ideas cuz I have no idea how to scape it
Another great looking tank. My favorite part is the hardscaping.
Thanks ShelbyRae 😊
Nice scape. My favorite part of this one is the hardscape AND your attitude. Cheerio!
Great to hear - thank you ! 👍
I really like this scape. I like the negative space Will need to incorporate into my next scape 👍
Thanks Sharon. Good luck with the next scape 👍
Looking great!
Looking forward to seeing this tank mature.
Great video George! Did a great job on such a big tank. Sure it’ll look even better in a few months!!🌱
Thanks so much 👍
Simple and amazing so natural
I could of course go on about this and that, however I think one sentence will sum this up. "Simply stunning and highly inspirational" great work George.
Thanks Robert 👍
Absolutely love that . Great scape George.
very nice this aquascaping !!!
Love the simple colour scheme on this one
Thanks Kayleigh 😊
Awesome and well done George👍🏻👍🏻
So great work Giorgio thank you
Cheers George! Great work! This isn't easy to do the job and still capturing it on site as a one-men-show for a VLOG. Respect for that! Keep up the good work mate. Hope to see you soon!
Cheers mate. Looking forward to seeing the new shop! Will you be at Interzoo ?
We had the last day today in our old shop. Moving in all next week. As soon as we put all puzzle in place we will have an opening ceremony :) Yup we will be at the Interzoo with the GA team. Let's meet there :) Will you do a live scaping there? :)
Wow! Amazing news.
Looking forward to seeing you!
No live scaping planned but who knows!? 😊
Oh that is such a beautiful scape. You didn't forget to put in the rootabs right lol! that's for sharing your awesome work George!
TRULY beautiful, simplistic and clean. Best of all; a great environment for the fishes.
Thanks Dannette 👍
I love that the colour palette of the hardscape echos that of the office interior: black and sandy blonde. Restrained contemporary elegance - perfect!
Thanks Glenda 😊
Love the process from an empty tank to the final result! Great job again George! Also love the dragon stone! I am also in the process of setting up a 56 gallon planted column tank with dragon stone and Manzanita Driftwood. Thanks again George!
Thanks Mike
Amazing mate. Can’t wait for the update video.
Honestly loved the whole video. Your camera work and editing is awesome. Keep it up!
Thanks. All this was done on iPhone 7 👍
Your new Best George.
Great. Looks natural
Good job.....nice view.
Love that mate. One of my favourite scapes for sure. I've always been a sucker for swords.
Sexy swords! 👍
Shows you that you can do an awesome scape with the simplest of plants. The green is going to pop in a few months. Nicely done, as always.
Thanks 🙏
love it George, inspirational as always :)
Such a beautiful scape. I love the big pieces of wood. I would have loved to have seen it completed with the fish swimming.
Amazing scape George, i'm in process and planning for a big rescape of my 350L. Going for a look similar to this, i have the wood ordered and I'm using a dirt substrate. Pretty excited. Going to do a video of the whole take down of my old tank and rebuild. Your vids have been really helpful. Cheers
Great stuff Chris! Good luck with the re-scape. 👍
Awesome equipment, very nice scape and planting, you make this look easy George 👍
Thanks Jon😊
Another great scape George!
Thank you 🙏
Fantastic looking aquascape. The tip I have learned today is to heavily plant a new setup to avoid the algae. You are giving me lots to think about George.
Thanks Robert- glad to help 👍
Nice tank!
Really awesome Tank and nice Video!👍
Thanks 🙏
This is going to be a beautiful scape when it fills in. I'd never thought of attaching S. Repens to driftwood, before.
Thanks Anthony 😊
Awesome video. How great to have a tank like that installed at their workplace.
Thanks mate 👍
Beautiful scape, well done! I may suggest adding some crumbled small rocks randomly which would add natural look. Also some crypts in the middle area would be great for transition.
Thanks Tolga 👍
Lovely work George.
Thanks 😊
I love the scaping a lot.
Nice and stunning George
Thanks Marc 👍
amazing job! Love it.
Edwin from Costa Rica, beautiful well explained nice job . Thank you !!!

Beautiful Masterpiece
Thank you 😊
It is a gift that you have. Truly it's art.
Thanks 🙏
Awesome Tank.
Thank you 😊
wow well done man!👍👍
Another beaut of a video! Staurogyne repens & porto velho are underrated imo. They are quite diverse - carpeting, and what you've shown here. Great stuff!
Thanks 🙏
Nice one. I love the bog wood.
Thanks Greg 👍
Gorgoeous ! Awesome job :D!

Beautiful tank man. Wow
Thank you 😊
Thks for sharing!
Great scape. I would love to see an update as well as more low-tech scapes :-)
Nice one George =D
Beautiful job George. I didn’t know S.repens can be grow on wood and rocks. I haven’t been able to keep it in the substrate but I will now try it attached to things.
So awesome
I keep on thinking that I've settled on going marine and then you bring out one of these awesome videos. Back on the fence haha
😂 I love a good marine but my heart is planted aquascapes.
I love how you only used 4 plants. Yet it looks so beautiful and unique.
Thanks Abhishek 👍
Nice
Great scape.
Thanks 🙏
In bed with a mancold having a TH-cam day all things aquascaping and aquatic plants. I didn’t know S. Repens could be attached to hardscape, cheers for the tip George.🤘
Шикарный аквариум 👍🔥

Thanks so much Vishal 👍🏻
Ah love these videos
Thanks Gav 👍
Hi George I am addicted to your videos you are so knowledgeable and your work is Betacular where in Great Britain are you awesome you're beautiful
Thanks!
Really love the way the amazon swords looked with the hardscape, well done! Also, George, what are your thoughts on co2 arts? I'm thinking of picking up one of their dual stage regulators for my first co2 injected tank.
Thanks Undead!
CO2 Art are a popular brand with good customer service.
Hi George - new subscriber from America - did you ever do a followup on this project? Its beautiful - did you ever incorporate fish or a clean up crew? Thanks for putting your passion online for us to see - Im just stumbling into the hobby and am really enjoying your material
I have been growing repens on the windowsill for about 6 months now, dosing lightly (as it has my Conoly of pest snails i breed for a puffer friend) and I have almost half a 30-litre clear acrylic storage box full of the stuff, it grows like a weed.
A few months ago i through all my spare dragon stone at the bottom too see if would attach, as it seemed to attach to anything in my other scapes, including other plants! To no surprise, i now i have at least 5kg of dragon stone covered in the stuff, will make a beautiful low tech tank soon :B
On another note, very nice tank :D
Sounds great, Dan!
Sweet scape George! About 150 to 200 Rummynose Tetra's would look amazing in there.
Hey George,
I love your videos and I learn a lot from them. Thanks and keep up the great work!
I have set-up a 120-gallon planted tank two weeks ago with river rocks and driftwood inspired by many of your set-ups. I saw your video two days ago and your Rotala H'ra was stunning. All the plants in my tank are doing wonderful and growing except for the Rotala H'ra. I was hoping to get that green and pink but I am just getting a red color on all leaves. They are in the corner of the tank and keep falling onto each other. Any ideas of what could be wrong with them?
Great scape as always. Interested to see your use of tropica soil and how thin a layer you used. I have a dirted substrate and dose ferts and excel as carbon source. I have three bleheri that after 17 months since setting up are now growing much shorter, almost half the size they attained during first 10 months. Question is, do you know if I can safely add root tabs now that the dirt has lost some of its potency? I read that adding fertiliser to soil can cause toxicity issues. Interested in your thoughts. Could a tank be set up with the substrate in your video dosing ferts and excel rather than CO2. Dirt is great for first year, but has its limitations and issues!
Hola George, just watching this with friends in Spain! Mum xx
Hola mum! Xx
gorgeous.
Thank you 👍
nice
I love your videos, from South Korea❤️
🙏
Superb video. Cheers. Can we get an update on this tank, please?
Would love to see it with fauna.
Cool video. Hopefully when you do an update on this setup, you can show the filtration.
If the 1500 ever becomes available in the United States, I’m getting one.
Thanks. Will do!
Yet another beautiful aquarium.... didn't see the red colinder when you was filling up tho George.. Did you forget it ? Lol
Thanks!
Yes, forgot it... 😩😂
Super
Yes! Hatchbacks rule the world. O yea nice scape too..haha
A school of 30 dwarf neon rainbows would look amazing in that 125. Keep it a single species tank.
Nice idea Jordan 👍
Very nice aquascape.. Iam from Indonesia
Another great scape George. Any thoughts as to what fish to stock it with. ? How about a huge shoal of tetras.
I was at a local pet box store..and the Aquariums were not like the normal dimensions..but more deep and tall...Rather then the usual 6' long 125,it was about..4 or maybe 5.
So now mass produced tanks are more ADA inspired. So was the price at $600,reduced at $100 to $500 if you had points on membership.
Really cool. I have a 120 gallon aquarium that I've been considering about rescaping.
Thanks Jeremy 👍
George Farmer I also have a 4.5 nano aquascape that I started this year. Its my first attempt at aquascaping.
Great! 👍
awesome video....keep it up :)
Thanks 🙏
The wood has a lot of character.
