hey mike, the tank looks pretty cool, but if you don't mind a little critique, i'd like to suggest a small modification. rather than use driftwood to stabilize the suspended features, try using two suspension lines ( one left and one right, with both biased a bit outward ) rather than just a center one. this way the features won't turn. whilst the wood connections work, they do diminish the free floating "avatar effect ".
Wow! 4 years later and I was blessed with this video on my feed! Phenomenal tank! I’m currently setting up a 30 gallon as well as a 75 long. While looking for inspiration on tank aquascaping, I found your video. Thank you so much! I will be attempting this scape.
This project came out looking really good. Just one suggestion: instead of depending on the plants, hide the eye-screws by putting them in a "crater", like those dug out with the chisel.
LET ME TELL YOU❗ The best thing about your builds, is they DO NOT look like a DYI something or another.. always end up looking like an expensive import that you spent Lots O'money on..wow! All of your builds turn out looking so spectacular attention to form function and detail really makes the difference ... that along with natural "great taste*/ know how" there always well Thought Out and you explain them in the simplest layman terms, SO EVEN a person like myself can achieve it, "with a little help from aquapros " thank you for that ! you guys over at aquapros are the best thank you for helping to keep the Hobby alive , well and thriving... wonderful narration as always Mike! love the way you move it along cheerful attitude ,good looks doesn't hurt either . what more can I say?! oh yeah ...bravo ,kudos! magnifique !¡ like the way you kid's roll , keep up the outstanding exceptional work you are appreciated , Keep'm😉 coming! Yeah I'm subscribed... lol
Mike.... I have added your video to my tank tip playlist. Simply put, you have done a lot of thinking and put in a lot of efforts, which your viewers need not do anymore. Thank you for such an awesome video. Cheers!
I love your videos, I love how you get right to the point and don't waste time jabbering on like how a lot of others make there videos. Very easy to follow along. Thank you for that.
Sometimes I just can't wrap my head around on the ingenuity and thought process people come up with to make these amazing pieces of art. Functioning art. Amazing and beautiful! Wow!
funny how i make a video called " how to instantly cycle a tank" and i explain how moving water from a cycled tank allows you to transfer fish instantly. but so many people said i was wrong. good to see im not the only one that uses that method. thanks for the video.
One of the only youtubers of which I don't skip the ads) Amazing content, I remember first watching this last year ! - i was like w o w. I'm so glad I found your channel again(a few days ago) and I've been binge watching your videos ever since haha. Thank you for making videos, your content has helped me and many others starting their aquariums. (especially planted.) -And that we just like watching your setup videos aha.-
You say that you are far from a pro aquascapper but I would bet if you entered this tank into any 29 gallon contest you would come out on top by a mile!! Love it!!
That tank is a mastery of badassery for real bro! Now I finally know what I have to do to my own 29g tall boring planted tank,thanks big time for the inspiration!!
rotation on those "floating" rocks would give an awesome illusion and cool effect! i would love to try that out. the flow of water would move them around and it would give off such a stunning visual. :D
looks gorgeous. you have a real knack for this. But I am more interested in your comment about using potting soil in your tanks. This is intriguing to me. I never knew you could do such a thing. Can you give me more deets about how and what type? I'm super intrigued, as I don't really have access to fancy substrates and all that where I live. For me, it's pretty much gravel or nothing, so If I can use soil, I'd love to try. Cheers!
Definitely learnt something new. I was unaware and surprised to see super glue was safe to use in a tank. In order to make sure, I Googled. It confirmed that most are safe to use. Still, I would Google the type I'm using, just to be on the safe side.
How have the anubias in the rocks grown since this setup? I thought the rhizomes had to be exposed to light so I was surprised to see you tuck them in the holes along with the roots. Love the look of this setup!
WOW!! Great video and unbelievable job on the tank. Way to think out of the box (tank). 😏 I can't imagine the work it took to do this which I'm sure the video doesn't do justice to. Well done, Mike. How is it doing these days? Still rolling?
Stratum is underrated imo. I did the same as you, went from dirt to try this stuff out. I am impressed with it, it grows plants well. However I do add osmocote root tabs. The only problem is with how light it is. I used almost 3 inches of it because I just couldn't get anything to stay down and hold until good rooting formed.
This is so motivating. I have been on the fence, thinking if I should get a tank and if I did get one, how would I manage it. Your ideas are beautiful and after seeing you use potting soil, I am confident that I can do so as well. One question....will any potting soil do?
Do you think that java moss or Christmas moss is better in terms of it not falling apart if there is a strong current in the tank and which do you think grows faster in a low tech aquarium? Thanks 👍
Very cool, thanks for the video. I think you could improve the look by simply putting a light behind the white background thing, especially once that grass in the background grows in
Rwolf135 Quye it keeps the water from disturbing and messing up the gravel or substrate in aquariums also keeps the water from becoming to cloudy when filling up the tank for the first time.
I love this floating rock look. I have koi fish in an outside pond. Didn’t dig it deep enough to keep them in through winter. Neighbor who happened to breed fish had a 75 gallon tank with cabinet he no longer needed and Said I could have it if I haul it out of his basement. Now I have their winter home. Lol. Going to dig the pond deeper next spring then use the 75 gallon for saltwater tank or something.

AAAABsolutely stunning! Well done, this was very inspirational
AQUAPROS that tank is the coolest tank I've seen in a while!very unique! You should put it in competitions! Bet it would win! Very cool!
veeeeerrryyyyy ccooooooll
Puts my tank to shame..
Not finding very many appreciative comments, so I’ll add one myself.
THIS IS THE COOLEST TANK IVE EVER SEEN, YOURE SO CREATIVE DUDE
Well, You build an avatar tank and don't use blue shrimps...
Gerrit Mauritz
hahaha true 😁
Gerrit Mauritz he used blue shrimp in the avatar tank. He shows in another video
red shrimp consider the flying butter fly dragon lol
so true
Gerrit Mauritz Buddy he did😁
I Love the Avatar theme! Planet Pandora is the home of nature lovers like us. Awesome! 👏🏻
A black light would really look stunning for this tank
Rhiannon N/A so no light😂idek
Anya Schmidt a black light is actually like a neon blue and purple color when it's on
Rhiannon N/A. that would look really visually stunning,
however unless you use a different type of bulb than I've tried (don't think) in the past,
☡ DON'T DO IT❗☡ It will blind your fish!!!
eventually....
at least that was my experience ,sad to say.😦
I think it's got too much UV Spectrum for them or something,
But if you had success please let me know....😃
You might get a similar affect if you used an actinic 03 but I don't know how freshwater fish cope with that spectrum and how it would affect the plants might look into that,
Any case ~I just want pass that knowledge on... for those that are contemplating using it. 🤔😕
Rhiannon N/A but it was a really great idea.
hey mike, the tank looks pretty cool, but if you don't mind a little critique, i'd like to suggest a small modification. rather than use driftwood to stabilize the suspended features, try using two suspension lines ( one left and one right, with both biased a bit outward ) rather than just a center one. this way the features won't turn. whilst the wood connections work, they do diminish the free floating "avatar effect ".
Yes, this could be a great idea!!!
I was gonna make the same suggestion.
Yeah I thought that, I sondee why he didn't do it
yeah i didnt like the driftwood, it looks less Floaty* & more, Ok What is this held onto? look, & u go exploring, & find its hung by strings
Wow! 4 years later and I was blessed with this video on my feed! Phenomenal tank! I’m currently setting up a 30 gallon as well as a 75 long. While looking for inspiration on tank aquascaping, I found your video. Thank you so much! I will be attempting this scape.

One of the prettiest aquascaping I've seen on TH-cam! Original and so perfect!
This is so beautiful. I can see why people get so passionate about tanks. Great job!!
LET ME TELL YOU❗
The best thing about your builds, is they
DO NOT look like a DYI something or another.. always end up looking like an expensive import that you spent Lots O'money on..wow!
All of your builds turn out looking so spectacular attention to form function and detail really makes the difference ...
that along with natural
"great taste*/ know how"
there always well Thought Out and you explain them in the simplest layman terms,
SO EVEN a person like myself can achieve it, "with a little help from aquapros "
thank you for that !
you guys over at aquapros are the best thank you for helping to keep the Hobby alive , well and thriving...
wonderful narration as always Mike! love the way you move it along cheerful attitude ,good looks doesn't hurt either .
what more can I say?!
oh yeah ...bravo ,kudos! magnifique !¡
like the way you kid's roll ,
keep up the outstanding exceptional work you are appreciated ,
Keep'm😉 coming!
Yeah
I'm subscribed... lol
So dope! I’m a total Avatar fan and this has inspired me.
The floating rocks with the twigs in between really look astonishing!
Mike.... I have added your video to my tank tip playlist. Simply put, you have done a lot of thinking and put in a lot of efforts, which your viewers need not do anymore. Thank you for such an awesome video. Cheers!
Was looking for the usual relaxing tutorial but instead had some American dude screaming at me lol
wouldn't call that exactly "screaming", though
@@theneurochemist5267 now yall mention it. Hes a distraction. I just wanna look at the nicely decorated plants lol.
I love your videos, I love how you get right to the point and don't waste time jabbering on like how a lot of others make there videos. Very easy to follow along. Thank you for that.

I could have this aquarium empty, and I would watch it for hours ! Beautiful !

-And that we just like watching your setup videos aha.-
it's a fantasy world for those fish and shrimp. very nice job! Can't wait to see it with everything grown out.
You say that you are far from a pro aquascapper but I would bet if you entered this tank into any 29 gallon contest you would come out on top by a mile!! Love it!!
😍 I need floating rocks too now... not forgetting the night glowing plants. It’s beautiful. Good job!
Wow that tank looks incredible, nice work on the floating rocks!
Pandora landscape in a fish tank...it's my two favorite things in one. Congrats on figuring out how to nail an effect like this!
love it! just a few thoughts I would have left the black rim on as to hide the egg crate. over all I love it and might give it a try myself!
That tank is a mastery of badassery for real bro! Now I finally know what I have to do to my own 29g tall boring planted tank,thanks big time for the inspiration!!
rotation on those "floating" rocks would give an awesome illusion and cool effect! i would love to try that out. the flow of water would move them around and it would give off such a stunning visual. :D
I'm going on a watching-spree!! Your aquariums are gorgeous. I'm definitely going to recreate this!
This tank is by far one of the best I've seen
Absolutely Brilliant!!! Just a thought what about the "Overshadeing" of your substrate plants when the hanging plants fill in?
Great build Mike! have you ever considered painting the rear outside black with acrylic paint to focus the eye into the tank?
very cool brother! I like the stick supports in between the rocks. Looks like a pretty fun setup.
+ADU Aquascaping Thanks bro! It was a bi*ch to set up but I think its gonna be worth it :)
A
Why am I watching this at 4 AM 😂🤷🏼♂️
Cool set up! I’m a pond builder but would like to set up an indoor aquarium aswell
I absolutely love this tank
I come again in 2019 as this was my favourite tank mike created
Awesome ideas I am new to this I have question for you why do I need to put CO2 in the aquarium? Thanks for your time to answer my question
so freaking beautiful this deserve a million likes
Very creative and inspiring video! So well made and edited. Thank so much for sharing!
Very creative idea and great execution of it. Well done!
The tank looks amazing can you add some angelfish I think they would look Great in this tank
Dang, you make the coolest aquascapes

Can you do a video on how you remove the rims on a tank? Thanks
This is brilliant aquascaping!! So glad I watched this video 👍👍👍👍👍
+King Aquarium Thanks King!!!!
you did really good with that avatar aquascape!
Looks cool very satisfying to watch indeed
Definitely learnt something new. I was unaware and surprised to see super glue was safe to use in a tank. In order to make sure, I Googled. It confirmed that most are safe to use. Still, I would Google the type I'm using, just to be on the safe side.
Food grade silicone!!
The brand name stuff is good to use. He grey kind he has with the little blue button things on the sides.
Best avatar tank i've seen so far!
i just watched like 4 random videos from your channel, i have to say, this is amazing man. greetings from Tijuana, Mexico!
wow absolutely stunning!
This is your best set up I'm going to do mine like this when I get another tank
+ReptilesWelling AntsWelling (FishWelling) Hell ya! Thanks for watching
Fantastic idea and outcome!
How have the anubias in the rocks grown since this setup? I thought the rhizomes had to be exposed to light so I was surprised to see you tuck them in the holes along with the roots. Love the look of this setup!
That was a very cool build mate looks awesome
What is the Tank and Light you used for this avatar set up looks really nice
Wow thats looks awesome.. Great tank build..
Really like it ! You captured the essence of Avatar perfectly .. are there a type of bright blue shrimp you can add ?
+mal searle hahah wait for the next video ;)))
WOW!! Great video and unbelievable job on the tank. Way to think out of the box (tank). 😏 I can't imagine the work it took to do this which I'm sure the video doesn't do justice to. Well done, Mike. How is it doing these days? Still rolling?
Stratum is underrated imo. I did the same as you, went from dirt to try this stuff out. I am impressed with it, it grows plants well. However I do add osmocote root tabs. The only problem is with how light it is. I used almost 3 inches of it because I just couldn't get anything to stay down and hold until good rooting formed.
This is THEE coolest tank I’ve ever seen
So awesome! Best way to convince the hubs to get back into an aquarium! 😂
This is art dude.. Great work
wow bud looks amazing may try something like this one day thumbs up dude
Hated the movie, but I love the tank! That is a very creative aquascape.
Dude, those floating rocks look amazing!
OMG ITS SOOOOOO AWESOME!! SHOUT OUT FROM PHILIPPINES!!
Love the look of this tank
Beautiful build! Great job!
Bro you should totally make a land and water vivarium!
loved the bags idea .. and regret i didn't see this before building my aquarium 😂😂😂😂
Absolutely beautiful!
looking awesome Mike next step watch it grow thumbs up
+Floyd Conrad Thanks Floyd! :D
my favorite tank so far well done 👍
QUESTION: If you have a heavily planted tank, do you still use test kits?
This looks frickin awesome!! Well done!
This is so motivating. I have been on the fence, thinking if I should get a tank and if I did get one, how would I manage it. Your ideas are beautiful and after seeing you use potting soil, I am confident that I can do so as well. One question....will any potting soil do?
This is awesome and so creative
I liked how the rocks moved
Do you think that java moss or Christmas moss is better in terms of it not falling apart if there is a strong current in the tank and which do you think grows faster in a low tech aquarium?
Thanks 👍
very cool tank!!i like the scape!!
is it important to cycle the water first before adding the shrimps?
Will the shrimp keep the slow growing plants from getting algae? Especially the ones so close to the light?
how much did it cost you tho? I want to make a mini one.
This is INCREDIBLE!!!
Very cool, thanks for the video. I think you could improve the look by simply putting a light behind the white background thing, especially once that grass in the background grows in
what an amazing and creative tank. I'm in awe!
tip put a bowl in the tank and pour water into the bowl works great
?
Rwolf135 Quye it keeps the water from disturbing and messing up the gravel or substrate in aquariums also keeps the water from becoming to cloudy when filling up the tank for the first time.
I love this floating rock look. I have koi fish in an outside pond. Didn’t dig it deep enough to keep them in through winter. Neighbor who happened to breed fish had a 75 gallon tank with cabinet he no longer needed and Said I could have it if I haul it out of his basement. Now I have their winter home. Lol. Going to dig the pond deeper next spring then use the 75 gallon for saltwater tank or something.
I am French, and I love your aquarium.Could you tell me what and the name of the stones you use to hang them and or buy them please
Thank
This is Awesome!!! Thanks for share your ideas..
This is really cool I must admit. Kudos to you man!! 👍👍
Yo, this tank... Looks DOPE bro
What is the smallest size you can make without putting the shrimp in danger? I'm thinking about making a small scale version for my desk.
The more I watch the more I want to build a nano tank. I subbed
Another great tutorial..looks great and thanks for sharing your wisdom!
great tank, clearly alot went into this video.
Unbelievable! Awesome scape!
we need an update with the tank fully grown in, thanks for the video!
