I wish people didnt judge so much. If they didnt judge the accent they would see he makes amazing content. Like just awesome.
I think the accent is pretty bad-ass to be honest. :)
@@nickretrae2487 yeah he is a cool guy i met him and went fishing with him
Thank you very much!
I appreciate you!!
The first hook for me was the accent. I love it! And then the content is amazing. It is so genuine and different to all those hyper manicured and “cool” looking aquascaping channels. New favorite nano aquarium channel by far!
It's guys like this who make huge breakthroughs, so patient with his experiments
Patients and observations is key skills for successful aquarium keeping!
Thank you very much!!
I would love to achieve a closed ecosystem like this.
All the best on your adventure!
It took me very long to make this video - I am very excited to share it with you!
Can’t wait to watch! Looks amazing,as usual!
We are waiting friend 😎😎✌✌👍
Was awesome! Thanks a bunch for the great content
@@15demersm My pleasure!
@@fantasticfishhobby6557 Thank you very much!
I wish I could find moss in Singapore easily like your country 😔 but still love your content
It is just a matter of looking (or knowing what you are looking for) and you will find it - different types of moss grow everywhere ;)
Looks like an ecosystem u r great sir I have many bottle aquariums inspired by you
Thank you very much!
I am working on self-sustaining ecosystems with fish ;)
Thank you sir
That moss tree looks really cool, i think I'm gonna make it ASAP
:)
plants live in different time dimension - ASAP for them it's like...never for us :)
Take your time ;) and record your process in time lapse or stop-motion (those are the best way to see plants in motion ;)
Okay
That is super nice! I am slowly simplifying my current setup, since my beloved betta got sick and passed away. I have two elderly catfish. Once they have passed, only four snails and two shrimp will remain. At that point, I can downsize. Your videos are giving me inspiration as to how I can do that.
All the best on your adventure!!
You inspire me!! 💗 I now collect moss wherever I go and try all different things with it. My favorite, a pincushion moss, died. 😢 I am terribly disappointed and hope it will come back once the weather improves. Thank you for sharing your impressive knowledge with us!! 😊
amy marie I am looking forward warm season for new explorations too :)
All the best on your adventure!!
Can't wait, turned the reminder on
Thank you!
In bonsaï maker's, i discover that they use fine sand at the surface of the substrat to help moss growing and fixing. That's what we clean under water at the beggining of the process...
There are many things people do without giving it second thoughts
Your videos are so innovative and I love them! I didn't know you could grow moss like that!
Thank you very much!
Surprisingly charming despite the usage of simple plastic container ! That's awesome man ~ Keep it up
Thank you very much!
Just found your channel! I love your videos. I'm starting to fall in love with mosses and wanted to try growing moss underwater like in this video. Thank you!
My pleasure!!
Be aware that growing mosses underwater is addictive ;)
All the best on your adventures!
I'm so glad I found your channel! Thank you so much for your knowledge!
My pleasure!

Again man, another lovely Aquarium you have built for us. I really can't wait for spring. I so many projects that I want to do. I will have a all natural tank. I want to use everything from my lake. I even thought about catching a few minnows. Idk if I can legally have them though.
:)
It shouldn't be illegal to take a few minnows if it is buy some they are only 19 cents
@@d.b.1858 :)
You have some great ideas. I love the simplicity of your systems.
janets9179 thank you very much!
This is a project I can definitely try, you have some amazing unconventional ideas, great way of thinking!
Thank you very much!
Yay you uploud a new aquarium video :D
:))
i discovered this as well. I use the same type moss i pick from my yard and i use it on bonsai tress. a few small pieces of moss fell into a tray full of pebbles and water that i use as a humidity tray and a few weeks later i noticed they were all growing completely submerged and some protruding out of the water.
Great!
I love the way the moss looks.
It opens unlimited possibilities for aquascaping design ;)
Wooow, I so needed this video.
I'm goingto fetch some moss from the roof right now!!!
PS , I love your voice
You may find more different mosses growing in warmer time of the year. Here is a playlist of my videos about those that I tried: th-cam.com/video/bK_gJD6lPIg/w-d-xo.html

So is it literally just a case of getting some moss, putting in water and leaving seeing if it adapts & surrives or just dies? is the any water changes or just as it first goes in? cheers
The short answer on your first question is YES with one important addition - you have to wash the moss clean of any dirt. I don't do water changes at all. You may want to check on this video for situations with spoiling samples that need water changes (I prefer to get a new sample instead of doing water changes and etc). This video should explain it all with regards for water changes th-cam.com/video/DWWGfuozMUk/w-d-xo.html
And there is also matter of where to collect moss for your aquariums: th-cam.com/video/LRCmEXrh58s/w-d-xo.html
And two ways of preparing land moss for growing underwater: th-cam.com/video/bK_gJD6lPIg/w-d-xo.html

I ordered weeping moss and it came looking non weeping and scraped right off a tree. This whole moss thing makes me wonder if the stuff I see even growing on gutters would survive and grow underwater. Mosses are made of tough stuff.
Just keep hair algae off at all costs ...it will smother and kill even Java moss.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful accent!

It grows everywhere even places where no people could live ;)
Been lookin for some videos bout this cause i love moss and want to try to grow in under water but figured it would die off

How often do you water change those little aquariums/gardens?
Kilah x7 thanks for the question. I don't change water in all my aquariums since end of 2016. Though, I did before. It works either way ;) Here is a playlist of videos about all my aquarium care routines: th-cam.com/play/PLM88hGt0AfGvyY_LiG5aQzG1ymwn_7n94.html

Michael Langerman thank you, I may consider documenting my experiments as well. Many different types of terrestrial plants currently testing.
omg it looks very amazing im gonna make it somethink like that. what it its called?

Did you get any mold growing on the tree....on which you placed the moss
Not yet.
Do u use a plant light for the moss?
I use only natural indirect sun light coming from the window for all my aquariums.
Check beginning of this video to see how my aquariums located to the window: th-cam.com/video/eKDWgUO4VsM/w-d-xo.html
All the best!
I like your channel. I've learner slot about moss. My yard has fern moss. I grow some in a small plastic container inside. But I am nervous to add into my tank with fishes. Dangerous to add unseen microbes?
Thank you very much!
There is always a risk/ danger of getting harmful microorganisms with any new "things" you may add into your aquarium. Those may come with any samples (including things you buy from pet store or getting from your friends).
I minimize the risk of such contamination by placing new samples into separate nursery for a couple weeks or so initially with snails and later with spare fish.
All the best on your adventure!
@@4meMy fishes are strong like oxen at harvest time. Even if a microbe or two sneak in past defenses, my squad should be able to defeat them in battle.
@@BortLicensePlates :)
I like the way you put it
wonder if i could make a bonsai tree grow in the humid condition of top box ,, you tried ? =) il look for more vids on ur channel,,
cool boxes..
I deem it is very possible to grow bonsai tree in aquarium garden. Though, I've been mostly trying to find plants, herbs, mosses and ferns that would grow underwater. Growing trees underwater would most likely cause water discoloration due to presence of tannin in bark of trees. But, growing trees on top, with only roots in water, is doable for sure - at present I've been testing bushes, that may appear as trees ;) There are many different possibilities and designs we can use in this regards...I am going to publish in this and following months some of my working prototypes that can be easily used to grow trees on top of aquarium ;)
All the best!
@@4me there is this "famous" photo of a bonsai pine tree growing on top of an old log sticking up from a lake, it looks so idyllic it seems almost unreal. Seen it many times before, actually , think i just found it, www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-tree-on-the-lake-port-renfrew-british-columbia ,, =) maybe something like this would work. an old debarked log..
i will keep in mind the tannin problem if i try, thanks =)
@@QuadDerrick I followed your link...the tree grows on Fairy lake :) It is beautiful!
How do you determine if a moss will work under water?
I try every moss that looks interesting to me to see if it will grow underwater. There is no other way to find it out :)
Check videos on this playlist to see which mosses I managed to grow so far: th-cam.com/video/LRCmEXrh58s/w-d-xo.html
ahh hhh h ... I have been to my local pond and pulled a few samples of different mosses and little plants. I washed them and put them under water in a bowl (near window) Some are under, some are poking out the top. I just put tap water in and after 5 days everything looks good. Hope to get my new fish tank soon so I can put the plants/moss in and set it all up and see what happens before I put fish in...
quá tuyệt anh ơi
Thank you very much!
how prevent algae on glasss?
First common green algae grow in the water. Later it tends to attach itself to any surface. The only way to prevent it growing on glass is to control it growth in water.
That can be done in number of ways...
Check this video: th-cam.com/video/02xW3z61NfQ/w-d-xo.html and than this one: th-cam.com/video/ZrQKfd8T2n4/w-d-xo.html
Though, I have many more videos about different types of algae on this playlist: th-cam.com/video/W-P4Q1lB1T8/w-d-xo.html
All the best!
How did you come up with this idea? very nice!
:)
It follows very nicely along the line of my DIY aquarium modifications. I had plants on top of my aquariums for many years. Then I switched to plastic bottles/boxes with covers...and plants just come along :)
All the best!
@@4me these moss is very good for carpeting :) Thanks!

How to grow algae....is it useful for aquarium...how to get algae in my fish bowl which has 2 guppies
algae grow in any and all aquariums regardless of anything and everything we do. Algae is there as long as there is life. If you don't see it now it means the growth of algae is under control. Keep it this way - it is the best you can do :)

wow 와우!
Thank you!
Do you have other fish besides guppies?
janets9179 thank you for the question!
I keep and breed only guppies. It is the fish I chose to breed for self-sustaining aquariums. I will get some other fish once I make room for new projects ;)
Whenever i wash the land moss it breaks apart. How can i do it properly?
You actually do it properly :)
Moss does not have root system to hold it all together. So, when you wash out all the soil/dirt there should be nothing left to hold it together. Moss with long strings or branches can stay put together if it gets tangled.
I am experimenting with another way to adapt land moss. Specifically small size mosses that previously I was not able to wash clean for later reuse in aquariums for exactly the same reason - it always fall apart when I wash it. I will show how and what if it works out well ;)
Michael Langerman Thanks
@@masterfishkeeper6311 my pleasure!
Great experiment! For how long does the moss survive in water?
Thank you very much!
This moss grow underwater all year around continuously. I have it in aquariums for about 2 years now.

@@4me thanx! I'll keep washing the moss if necessary! I hope it will work! It would be extremely convenient to pick your own moss. I do feel confident after watching your instruction videos though! Great job with them too!
@@Staysome Thank you!
The cool part about the moss is that once you succeed in adapting any strain of moss to grow underwater you can trim it and propagate as many times as you want ;)
Я вот смотрю и такой вопрос, разве ряска снабжает кислородом воду?
Не напрямую - через атмосферу.
Зато ряска по объему протеина превосходит сою и растёт очень быстро ;)
Interesting had some going but turn in ty o mush why's that.
My moss does that, too. I don't have a good source of natural light though. The only plants that live are maribo (special balled algae) and Amazon sword plant.
There are could be number of reasons...not all moss can be adapted for one thing, and then even moss that can be adapted with not if there is dirt left. That is why washing samples and using separate nurseries initially is very important. This video could give you some more details on how I go about it: th-cam.com/video/DWWGfuozMUk/w-d-xo.html

I've been holding my surge of getting brine shrimp for only one reason - I have only freshwater aquariums. All my projects go around one main goal of building small self-sustaining aquarium for guppies. And guppies are freshwater fish.
I will most certainly get brine shrimp as soon as I start saltwater aquariums ;)

People breed them in saltwater aquariums and then use them for feeding fish in salt or freshwater aquariums.

How does moss grow without any nutrients
There is more than enough dissolved in water nutrition for moss, plants and algae to fit on. As a matter of fact, just judging by the pace of growth of the land moss on the land compare to the same moss growing underwater I deem there is more nutrition in water than in atmosphere/land for moss in particular.
moss is delicate and doesn't like much anyways. anytime i feed my tress that have moss on them, i have to bottom water them as to not get any fertilizer on the moss or it will kill it. they really just want constant humidity and light to thrive.
