Beautiful job with the aquascape - I love the dragonstone look, lying down like that. Seiryu stone? Excellent plant placement too. Well done and great vid!
hello Dan, that's fantastic video, just right at the moment when I need most, going for a new aquarium tank setup for the first time. very helpful.. keep posting

Best tutorial yet!!!!! Thoroughly explains what plants used and where to place them, great for someone starting off or even someone experienced looking for guided Instructions, this will definitely be the video I use to scape my 150 gallon, great video keep it up!!!!!!!
I. Am. In. Love! I'm planning on updating a 2.5 gal tank with one live plant to a 5.5 gal with many for a more home like atmosphere for my beta. This video definitely helped answer some questions I had. Beautiful!
Hello random person looking at the comments 😊 That is amazing! This is my goal for my aquarium to look very natural... right now I have a better fish in a three gallon but I hope to update the setup to make a nano tank!
@@Gk22632 good thanks. Went a bit more heavily planted than planned. Bought too many plants but having paid for them I planted them. And up and running with some happy fish.
@@andypne5454 the same thing happened to me, but I loved the over grown look, it also really helped cycle my tank faster and control the ammonia and nitrate
There are other pollinaters beside bees, so no, we will not all die when the bees die. In China there are basically no bees anymore and they still have enough to eat. Stop believing everything you read on the internet.

I've been watching a lot of these videos recently and always wonder why they don't show it off live afterwards for a good few mins. Videos just show the set-up and then the completed and the vid ends, I wanna see the fishies enjoying it and such =P Like show off the work you put into it rather than just ending the vid.
Lots of questions! 1. What is the soil called and where can you get it? 2. Can you purchase the plants from pet stores or online? 3. Could or would you use Spring Water? 4. Do you have a website that would have the answers to these questions?
Theresa Marie you can find a large variety of aquatic plants at your local pet store. petsmart is my go to. if you are doing a low tech method, tap water should be fine. just be sure to not add any livestock until your plants have adjusted and have gone through a cycle. 6-8 weeks. lots of science involved so the more research , the more successful your aquascape will be!
very nice scape and set up. would love to see a follow up vid/update if you still have this tank going. feel free to check my tank and planted tank tips vid out as well if you can. cheers!
hi Rohit Jaiswal no pump for oxygen, just good surface movement from the filter output. this will provide plenty of oxygen along with the oxygen produced by the plants
Hi Gusda Costello. thank you for the kind words. you are correct there are very few fish in this setup. these were a few psudomugils I was temporarily re-homing from a smaller setup I'd shut down. bigger shoals of small fish would be my ideal choice! Happy new year Dan Aquaddiction UK
This looks like a marketing video !! Day 30 is amazing !! wonder what's the CO2 bubble count> type of filter? diffuse ? water circulation ? Sorry to say i didn't see it on day 30 except the CO2 checker !
Nice driftwood. Due to the small tank size, I think the foreground and mid-ground (left) plants are oversized. Rocks are positioned a little bit of unnatural and too thick. I know when you looked at them, they were fine. But when they were on video, they looked oversized.
I don't agree, it's a beautiful setup and the fishes have space to move, although I'm not sure how the plants will look in eight weeks. What is the blue pyramid thing bottom right?
I love this design, only thing that I would like to know is whether or not these plants would do well in a coldwater tank, I haven't used any of these plants before (other than the moss) so I have no knowledge on them? Please advise me, thank you! Also, what are the dimensions of this tank? Beautiful design by the way!
Hi +Sabrina Parsons The plants used in this layout should still grow well in colder water, although growth rates would be slower as temperature is a limiting factor of photosynthesis. Cooler water = slower growth. Not always a bad thing though! :-) Regards Dan Aquaddiction UK
Ruben Uidam My maintenance routine includes weekly 50% water changes, daily dosing of fertiliser and weekly trimming of plants. Other than that it is relatively easy to maintain Regards Dan
Is it normal tap water? Or sea water? Should the aquarium be placed in a well illuminated (natural sunlight)? Or diffused sunlight? Won't some of the plants begin to float even if we try to firmly place them in place? Any water filter requured like we use in fish tanks? Please share some basic info in the description box.
I wish you would of shown more of the wood, did you place it upside down ? I have a peice of spiderwood and it looks very similar if I turn it upside down ,so I'm curious if that's what you did?
I noticed you put Ranalisma in your background, but on your 30 day progress it looks like it switched to a grassy type plant. Can you advise what the final background grass is?
Im looking for ideas for my new aquarium and this looks cool, can this be difficult if you have fish in it, i mean the maintainance of cleaning it, im just a beginner and im thinking that fish and turtle will eat the plants if buy this kind of marine life
hi FaLLenStormyGod. as far as I am aware the turtles would eat the plants but there are many species of fish that are well suited to heavily planted aquariums like this one. my personal preference is a large shoal of a single species of small fish, as this is more aesthetically pleasing and will bring out more natural behaviour of livestock. they shouldn't affect the maintenance routine other than having to be careful not to suck them up the siphon tube :-) Happy new year Dan Aquaddiction UK
tnx happy new year to you too ^^ and can i ask is a co2 is just like an air pump when you plug it in,it will do whats suppose to do bec im thinking that co2 have a little canister that you always replace, ive never seen a co2 for tank before so i really dont know to maintain them, it might be expensive
+FaLLenStormyGod The CO2 kits usually used for aquascaping utilise a pressurised canister of CO2 so it would need replacing every so often. How often it needs replacing Depends mostly on the size of the aquarium but You can usually get a few months use from a 2kg canister on a medium sized aquascape. We have an article on using CO2 in the aquarium which might be of some use to you ( aquaddictionuk.net/2015/09/aquariumco2101/ ) We also have a planted aquarium support group on Facebook if you ever have any questions.

Man I would love to start something like that with my tank. Have a 200gl been established maybe 10 or 11yrs.just small gravel bottle and a few medeun size decorations.Would love to build it up with real live plants and things I just don't know how or were to start
watch lots and lots of aquascaping vids pal. I've just started only 5 weeks ago . Already upgraded to an aquascaper 1500 ( 450 ltr). all my wood is sorted (redmoor roots of ebay) . I used elephant stone for the rocks, others are available. now im looking at the plants. To me thats the hard part. look for George Farmer on you tube . he has helped me loads . he shows you the basics and helps name plants etc. also visit aquarium gardens on google. based in Huntingdon. they will help with any of your purchase requirments. great guys who run it. they have everything you need. From every rock you can get to wood to plants , co2, lilly pipes ( glassware) for inlet and outlet. have fun with it :) any questions ask .. even though im a noob, i can point you in the right direction for answers. George has live aquascaping vids on sunday nights. search for aquascaper 1500 and you will find George on most of them.
Beautiful done as always..my eyes on you!!

Just about to get back into tropical fish. Ordering a tank tomorrow & will be attempting to copy this. Stunning..
How did it go, it’s definitely soo much harder than it looks
@@Gk22632 good thanks. Went a bit more heavily planted than planned. Bought too many plants but having paid for them I planted them. And up and running with some happy fish.

it would be so amazing if people could do that in the actual destroyed coral reef regions and regenerate them...

Don't worry when humans eventually die off the Earth will heal itself and the reefs will be back to normal.
We'll die off when all the bees die.
There are other pollinaters beside bees, so no, we will not all die when the bees die. In China there are basically no bees anymore and they still have enough to eat. Stop believing everything you read on the internet.
Fr3akyBeelie But what you just wrote is now info on the internet!
wow... for a step by step without any instruction or information of what is being added... perfect!
Wow, that is beautiful! Love it!
Great video!
Malkman hi
that is absolutely stunning
Awesome job Dan!!!
Thank you :-)
I didn't know this side of TH-cam, but i like it.
One day I will create something like this too, it would be so cool!

Aquaddiction UK Group name pleas.... Babu nedumangattu
Very nice. What about cleaning? Just water changes? Plants need anything besides light water and water?
Love the way you used the strainer to not agitate any of the substrate or knock around your decorations. Will have to use that sometime
Oh god, this will make me want to try Bonsai trees again!
beautiful job pal
fantastic view after 30 days... loved it amazing 😍😍
This is beautiful. I couldn't never do nothing like this it wouldn't be as beautiful lol 😂😂😂 great job

Theresa Marie yes
Very cool to the eyes 🥰🥰🥰
Lets grow the aquascapers!
Will keep in touch sir.
I like this Kind of Videos because of thr Music.

Stunning and amazingly beautiful.

That's lovely and simple. What substrate did you use? Subscriber.
Thank you, Vee. I'm glad you like it :-)
The substrate in this one is Tropica aquarium soil.
So interesting for make this too,, hope I have some free time to find some materials haha
That's amazing, do we need oxygen pump in this setup ?
hi Rohit Jaiswal
no pump for oxygen, just good surface movement from the filter output. this will provide plenty of oxygen along with the oxygen produced by the plants
looks absolutely phenomenal great work please come decorate my tank LOL PS I notice you don't have many fish it all in there 3 if I'm not mistaken
Hi Gusda Costello. thank you for the kind words.
you are correct there are very few fish in this setup. these were a few psudomugils I was temporarily re-homing from a smaller setup I'd shut down. bigger shoals of small fish would be my ideal choice!
Happy new year

This is so relaxing to watch
love the soundtrack
nice and clean

I don't agree, it's a beautiful setup and the fishes have space to move, although I'm not sure how the plants will look in eight weeks. What is the blue pyramid thing bottom right?

Hi man! nice piece of work...Do u maintain the temperature too??
hi uwaiz mohamed - the temperature is kept at about 24°C in this setup
Subbed🤣
Because of your super work
Thanks for sharing good ideas 🤳
Just beautiful!
Your videos best
What substrate, what fertilizer,which soil, which plant , which light suitable , it was good to watch but I wish it would be more informative
Hema Yadav just get dirt from outside
Astig
Soil-ada
What sort of light needed for such aquarium with plants for photosynthesis
are the plant real one ....
really good video
Thank you, mohd!
Yes all plants are real plants supplied by the Italian company - Anubias Aquatic Plants :-)
+Aquaddiction UK thanks
Sick, but question. How do you clean this?🤣😂🤔
Ruben Uidam they are self sustainable, they have their own ecosystem
ah ok thx didn't know that :)
very very small ecosystem. some people try to add all sorts of animal life. makes it more interesting but ..hard to balance.

My maintenance routine includes weekly 50% water changes, daily dosing of fertiliser and weekly trimming of plants. Other than that it is relatively easy to maintain

Wow this is beyond dope!
What kind of soil and plants are u using dude? Pls be specific
did u put the fishes or they came automatically
ranjetha1 lol this just made my day
lol
He putted there
ranjetha1 the plants produces the fish automatically through the insupiculavechu process
The fact octopus have survived millions of years without a brain gives me hope for humanity.
AWESOME BEAUTIFUL, 4REAL!!!!!!
Great vid really helped
Adding titles to inform the viewer of what is being added would have helped immensely
I think I would wash that bedding gravel first, l would want to wash everything very well before putting it in the tank. Just a personal preference.

Won't some of the plants begin to float even if we try to firmly place them in place? Any water filter requured like we use in fish tanks? Please share some basic info in the description box.
fresh water and even doing aquaspce use the cycle of water to flow and yes you need pump and filters
great job!!
What kind of soil did you add?Will fish grows.Can you please explain how to do this
music sounds like remixed halo music, i likes
Soooooo niccccccc eeeeeee loved it
Where did that tank come from? its very nice looking..
please include all the materials that you used to build it. Thank you.
It would have been better if you explain everything like what soil you used and everything
ohh👴😼
is there an easy way to trim those plants to avoid them from overcrowding the aquarium?
I wish you would of shown more of the wood, did you place it upside down ? I have a peice of spiderwood and it looks very similar if I turn it upside down ,so I'm curious if that's what you did?
