    I've been planning this in my head for a long time. I could never find a buddha statue that I thought looked good enough for an aquarium. I'd forgotten about the idea...then when at my local garden centre....i saw it. HERE WE GO!! 😁

I have a 5 gallon planted buddha lost world tank with plants growing inside and outside of the tank in the filter with bamboo that is growing like crazy. I have learned so much by watching videos like yours and bring more creativity to my own simple but beautiful tank. Thank you for sharing your artistic talent!

Forget all that you’ve shown that anything can be natural and beautiful anything can be with the right vision and I cannot wait to create a similar scape in my 25G cube

    Hi there, normally those statues don´t work well on water, I have one on the garden and it just disintegrated slowly. That is my experience, I think the only material could really support that condition could be a stone statue.

      Rain water is likely quite a bit more acidic than the water in this aquarium and the acidity of rain water is what causes the damage.
