Underwater Forest Full Tutorial Step By Step Release
Welcome to the 4k version of my forest aquascape tank. The original video was published in a poor resolution, so with help from some viewers it has been released in 4k.
This video shows the build from start to finish, including collecting driftwood, building the hardscape, a dry start of carpeting plants, how I defeated algae, filtration and co2, all the way up to adding the fish.
Thanks to @TarasTankFriends for here invaluable help.

This aquascape has taken almost a year to complete. Together we will gather and prepare the driftwood, build the hardscape, add the plants, connect the co2 and filtration, survive an epic battle with algae, and add the livestock.

    Earlier today I was looking at another RUclips video dealing with the same topic -- feeding vegetables to fish. Interesting the way you feed yours zucchini so I have a question: Most of my fish are guppies so can I stick a chunk of zucchini on the glass like you did for my guppies or would I have to cut it up --maybe grind it -- because the guppies' mouth is not as big as your fish's mouth? Awaiting and would appreciate an answer; thanks. Blessings to you and all those you love.

      @@Gilsfishroom fair enough, the in person view is always going to be more accurate. are you using the API test kit? another great option is the LaMotte test kit. It’s about 80 bucks online. Also lab worthy / professional grade that I’ve used before. I got the test kit cause Novak was belittling me when I wasn’t getting the results HE wanted with my baskets. Said I needed a lab grade test kit. Funny he’s not mentioning that you. I did an 11 month experiment with the Novak kitty litter baskets. I measured no increase in my weekly nitrate accumulation. I used the exact same fluorite you did and the natural kitty litter (back when it was still available). I even measured the amount of food I was feeding each week to document and show I was not increasing or decreasing the amount of nitrogen in to the system. Glad you had more luck than me. All the other aquarists I worked with and talked to didn’t have measurable denitrification either. Glad it worked for you. 👍
