- Juwel Rio 450 LED: New aquascape for my geophagus tank. I did add new roots and most importantly new sand substrate as i'm going for a more biotope fish tank. What do you guys think about the new setup? I really do like it so far and my fish seem to like it too.

There is a certain undeniable beauty in minimalism when done right.
thanks a lot! 😃
Very nicely done!
thanks a lot! 😃
Looks stunning always enjoy your posts,your geophagus redheads are looking amazing,the sand so much better for them, loved the video 😍💜
hi diane. don't know what happened to your comment but it just popped up now? strange! 😃
Nice.....wood drift is v expense.....when is the best time to find it at the seashore or river side ?
indeed so expensive 😞 i have no idea about the best time to collect them in nature
Very clean set up.
that‘s what i was trying with this setup! 🙌😃
Looks amazing. Typically natural South American river habitat for your tapajos.
Thanks for sharing.
thanks a lot! 😃 that‘s what i was going for!
Finally I got the opportunity to watch this video and give it the attention it deserves! Your aquarium is beautiful!!!!! The wood is so majestic and simple at the same time. Your videos are always so lovely and relaxing to watch. Enjoy the new scape and have an amazing day!
so nice thank you for taking your time to watch the video. i really appreciate it, as it took me lots of hours filming and editing. so it's nice to get a feedback! have a wonderful day too! 😃
Thank you for making such a nice video before, I have tapacos fish, I was thinking of changing the existing sand in my tank, this video came across well😊
your welcome! 🙌 did you get your tapajos?
@@freshwatertanks
hello yes in my 120cm aquarium 8 red tapacos 3 severium 3 angel fish 1 ellioti 1 green teror there are about 10 scavenger fish on the ground there is jbl monado sand I am planning to change the sand I am planning to use stream sand or silica sand
sand sounds great! 💪 are ypu planning to get a bigger tank in the future? you do have a lot of bigger fish for a 120cm
Love it...add some plants again and it will be even better.
yes plants would have been nice but i don‘t have the fish and driftwood anymore…
@Freshwatertanks awesome tank! What type and brand of sand did you use on the tank? Thanks ‼️
thanks. it was regular aquarium sand 0.2-0.6mm from hornbach 😄
@@freshwatertanks awesome and thanks 👍🏼‼️
sure! 😃
This is the best version of this aquarium yet. It looks natural, biotope like. And the sand is better for them, for their gills hygiene. I hope you see more natural behaviour because of the sand.
Its hard to pull off minimalist scapes but you nailed it.
I want to see more of this tank and these beautiful fish :)
thanks! i'm really happy with the outcome. the wood is just perfect for this tank. i was really lucky. and yes i can already see a big difference in their behavior. sand runs much better through their gills. i did add some indian almond leaves for a more nature look and just received the floating plants by mail. will add them tonight. and i will do an update video soon! :)
Beautiful 👍
thanks! 😃
Why didn’t you put the sand in the tank before adding the water? Interesting choice.
i didn‘t want to waste the water and also to prevent air pockets in the sand 🙃
Beautiful and simplistic. Very nice trailing fins on your babies now!
thanks a lot! i will add some leaves and floating plants and than im done for the moment! 😄 yes two of them have really beautiful long fins and the others are slowly keeping up 😃
@@freshwatertanks I had to leave my tank for 3 weeks to a house sitter to take care of, unfortunately, I lost all my Tapajos, so my biggest joy is when you post a new video. I don't deserve Geos now I must live vicariously through you
oh no so sorry to hear that! ☹️ hopefully you will keep some again in the near future! 😃
Alles richtig gemacht, die Umgestaltung kann sich sehen lassen. Wirkt definitiv natürlicher und passt super zu den Geophagus 👍🏻
so cool, danke! ich hab noch ein paar seemandelbaumblätter hinzugefügt und werde heute abend dann noch ein paar schwimmpflanzen hinzufügen. dann ist das becken komplett!
Klasse! Mir gefallen die neuen Wurzeln besonders gut, da sie die Höhe des Aquariums voll ausnutzen 👍🏼
Danke! Mir ehrlich gesagt auch. War echt grosses Glück, dass ich sie zufälligerweise ausgeschrieben gesehen habe. Und du hast Recht, endlich ist der obere Teil des Aquariums zumindest ein bisschen ausgenutzt. Das Becken wirkt so auch einiges grösser. Jetzt fehlen nur noch die Schwimmpflanzen 😃
Çok güzel ve doğal bir tasarım olmuş :) bende birgün böyle tasarım yapacağım
merhaba! çok teşekkürler! 😃
Très beau travail bravo !
Quel sable utilise tu ?
merci!l j‘ai acheté le sable (0.2-0.6mm) chez bauhaus. alors rien de spécial 😄
Merci !
It looks much more splendid than before! It gives me some inspiration to rescape my own tank with disk tetras and wild green severums (Heros efasciatus) in this style. Thanks!
severums are beautiful. i was even thinking if i could add one in this tank?
@@freshwatertanks My severums are completely non-aggressive to other species including disk tetras, true discus and common river gudgeons (these ones live in my tank after being resqued from flood). I think that severums will not harm Geophagus by any way. Still, severums are quite aggressive toward members of their own species.
oh okay good to know! 😃
👍💪
Die grosse Wurzel ist super toll. 👏
Ja es war echt riesen Glück die gefunden zu haben. Grosse Wurzeln sind bisschen Mangelware hier! 😃
Hi there love this aquarium what you have done such nice peace of wood where did you get that mangrove root as it’s nice addition I need something in my aquarium sounds weird where did you get that peace I’m from uk 🇬🇧 by the way nice video if can let me know or if you know a link to same you have be great thanks 👍💗
hi there! thanks! 😃 honestly it was just luck that i found the wood. i bought them from another aquarist here in switzerland who had the same tank. so i was sure that they will fit. but i must say i have never seen a lot of nice wood in stores. it‘s so difficult to find nice pieces...
@@freshwatertanks I definitely agree with you lovely aquarium mate how big of aquarium let’s say 4ft long aquarium would that be good to keep geophagus tapajos and how many could you I could keep in there long term I’m thinking getting a bigger down the line I might start with 4ft lol I’m also new to keeping geophagus tapajos I love them 😍
mine is 5ft. i think 4ft could work too. maybe start with 4?
@@freshwatertanks okay thanks for the advice
Hi @freshwatertank , congrrats for your beautiful aquariums and videos, rally lovely. As I just purchased a rio 450 may i Ask you couple of things:
- in some old videos with discus you kept bioflow internal filter: was it good enough? I assume so since the discus reproduced
- how did you manage to let the internal filter work so good? What was the internal media set up?
- why at a certain stage you got rid of the bioflow switching for external filter?
- why 2 and not only 1 external filter?
-would you reccomend Eheim?
-finally: the background at the time of discus was black or kind of a blueish?
I apologize for ao Many questions but I simply love your aquarium style!
Cheers
hi there. thanks a lot! the internal filter is perfectly fine. it's just takes space away. i used a mix of sera siporax and the filter medium which came with the filter. if you want to keep discus just be prepared for lot's of water changes if you are only going to use the internal filter and feed beefheart. i changed the filter as i wanted to get oscar fish which are pretty messy. but one filter would be enough too. and yes eheim filter are awesome! and the background was always black. i had wrong camera settings when i started filming, that's why it looks blueish. have fun with your new tank. it's a great one. will get another 450 soon and replace my lido 200's.
Very kind of you, thanks for sharing! : )
sure! 😃
This is exactly the way I want my tank but can't find that shape of wood anywhere.
If you get bored with the pieces let me know😉
Awesome tank
i know finding the right piece of wood is soooo difficult! i was really really lucky! 😃
Perfetct setup!😊
I am the New And sorry for question but can Y tell me Y substrate specification? Any special substrate? Brand?
Thanks😊
hi there! thanks! ah no it‘s just regular aquarium sand (2-6mm). 😃
@@freshwatertanks Thanks :)
That is simply stunning!!!!!!!
Going to set up a Geo tank in a few months when I move house inspired by this. What sand did you use ?
thanks! 😃 it‘s just regular aquarium sand (2-6mm)...
Crystal clear 👍🏻
i hope it stays this way. but i don't think so 😆
@@freshwatertanks hahahah 😅
Great pieces for the hard scape
yes i was really lucky to find them. here in switzerland it‘s so difficult to find bigger pieces. lucky me 😃
Looks great. Any chance of switching to grey hose instead of green?
thanks! yes i do have the grey ones in my two other tanks. will switche them soon. i was just too tired at the end...
Good job👍👍👍
thanks! 💪😃
Muhteşem gerçekten gurur duydum süper balıklar ve kurulum
çok teşekkürler 😃
Way better ;-)
Yes it was much better also for the Geos
Nice bro
thanks! 💪😃
Looks awesome my friend great job
thank you so much! 😃
Brother! I have 200Litres water capacity tank 3.5*1.5*1.5feet tank. How many red head tapajos geophagus can I add this tank? Kindly response brother
hi there. i would only get one male and maybe two female. tank is rather small. so if you get some just take one male and not more males in one tank 😃
Hi,
finde das minimalistische Design gut, auch wenn es nichts für mein Wohnzimmer wäre. Hast du schon mal überlegt, deine Beleuchtung anzupassen? Ich habe meine Balken alle gegen Spots ausgetauscht. Dann ist das Becken nicht überall gleich hell/dunkel. Würde bei deiner Einrichtung bestimmt tolle Licht- und Schattenspiele geben.
Halte auch 11 Geophagus Tapajos in einem 2 m Becken. Wirklich tolle Tiere.
11? hab grad auf deinem kanal nachgeschaut, schade gibts kein video. aber schon toll so ein grosses becken. hast du noch andere grössere beifische? also wegen der beleuchtung habe ich mir ehrlich gesagt noch keine gedanken gemacht. werde später noch schwimmpflanzen reingeben und dann sieht es meist gar nicht so schlecht aus, zusammen mit ein paar seemandelbaumblättern am boden. aber schritt für schritt, vielleicht wirds ja in zukunft noch zu einem thema. danke noch für deinen kommentar! 😃
What did you put under them roots prior to placing them? Plates of some kind?
i used plexiglass (pvc) just to be on the safe side. the roots are pretty heavy… 😃
@@freshwatertanks ok thanks! Your tank inspired me and I just ordered two big chucks of wood too! 😎
awesome! i always struggle to find nice and big pieces here in switzerland. what kind of fish do you keep?
@@freshwatertanks its hard to get nice pieces these days and if you find some they are very expensive.
Recently sold my old community tank and bought a bigger one, similar size as yours.
No species just yet but want those Geo's too..
How are they doing in your tank and how many have you got? Any other species?
Want a nice group of G. Tapajos and possibly a group of L numbers.. Any suggestions for group size and tank mates?
Cheers from the Netherlands!
true! so expensive, thats why i bought my online (used). i would go with a group of 5 geos and some high bodied tetras. mine are doing good. but i lost one a few months ago, don‘t know why! 🤷♂️
Echt klasse. So ne große schöne echinodorus würde sich super machen. 👍👍👍
danke! witzig, bist jetzt schon der zweite der mir zu ner echi rädt! aber aktuell hab ich, ausser schwimmpflanzen, keine pflanzen pläne... 😃
New substrate is better than old substrate for tapajos. 😉 Mangrove's size is awesome!😊
yes i can already see the difference! it was a great idea to change the substrate! 😃
Amazing! How many tanks do you have?
thanks! at the moment 8 and one empty one 😃
@@freshwatertanks wow, that's a lot. They are all looking great, it inspired my to get a similar look for my new tank :)
you‘re right. it‘s a lot. that‘s why i‘m slowly reducing my nano tanks... oh cool great to read that! 😃
Very nice new layout!
thanks a lot 😃
Lovely looking tank , I’d personally love to here you talk lol
thanks a lot! hmm i thought about doing a voiceover. maybe i should give it a try one day. i just think it‘s super strange to hear your own voice! 😬😄
@@freshwatertanks it is and you don’t sound the way you think you do lol
ha ha exactly 😄
I recently did a full rescape in my discus tank. It’s much better when things are simplified to make the fish really pop out especially with these types of show fish
i guess we are fish keepers 😄 but you‘re right. maintenance is so much easier and keeping water parameters in balance too! i used to keep discus too. beautiful fish!
i think it looks great/ best yet; keep fishing
thank's a lot! it's my favorite tank ever 😃 you too thanks
That's awesome setup! I was wondering if the white substrate would make the Geophagus' color looks less striking?
thanks. i don't see a big difference in coloration yet. but i thought the sand would be much darker. it was light brown but looks much brighter in the tank. but all good.
Brother! Which is the best food for geophagus red head tapajos?
they eat everything 😄 i used different kind of granules and a variety of frozen foods. check out „tropical soft line granules for southameric fish“. mine really liked those
Thanks a lot brother! I have 200L water capacity 3.5*1.5*1.5 tank dimension how many geophagus can I keep this tank
Beautiful.
thank you! 😃
Good afternoon. This is a more correct option. No problem with anubis. But you need to reduce the lighting. some grains of sand can turn black over time, the bottom of the glass green. We will have to fight this. And so everything is fine.
hi there! thanks for the feedback. i did add some floating plants this weekend so it‘s a bit better. i think the tank looks brighter because of the sand as i‘m still using the same lights! 🤷♂️.
Sehr sehr geiles Scape. Danke für die Inspiration
Vielen Dank! 😃
Beautiful setup👍👍👍
thank you so much! 🙏✨
Habe schon drauf gewartet. Geiles Video wie immer 😊
Danke vielmals! 😃
Hi, I use pretty similar setup as yours but I feel the water surface is too calm so start to accrue some debris. I feel the outlet flow of canister filter is not enough to agitate the surface. Do you have same problem?
honestly i'm happy with the flow. i do use two canister filter though. also i can adjust the water flow of each filter. when i have debris i normally change the filter fleece. also cleaning the tubes once in a while helps... (i'm using eheim 2078 canister filter)
Cool
thanks! 👍😃
Super schön bis jetzt geworden, obwohl nur neuer Sand und Wurzeln drin sind😅, bin auf's Endergebnis Gespannt. Bin auch gerade am überlegen, bei mir den manado rauszuholen und auf Flusssand zu gehen. Mach weiter so, deine Geo's sind super schöne tiere 👌 Gruß von mir👋
Hallo! Danke vielmals! 😃 Ich hab jetzt noch Schwimmpflanzen drin und das Becken ein bisschen abgedunkelt! Bin mit dem Ergebnis wirklich zufrieden! Macht so einen grossen Unterschied! Was hast du denn für Fische?
@@freshwatertanks ich habe in meinem 1700l Becken eine Gruppe von 5 geophagus tapajos 2/3 und 2/2 geophagus heckels Natur. Und ganz viele L-welse. Ich würde dir ja gerne Mal ein Bild schicken aber, aber eine Nummer hier zu senden wäre nicht die beste Idee 😅
Nein nein lieber keine Nummern veröffentlichen! 😄 Falls du Instagram hast, kannst mir ja dort ein Bild schicken. Hab den gleichen Namen dort! Wow 1700l hört sich traumhaft an!!!
I like it my friend. Any plants planned for this one? Such as a moss along the bottom root?
thanks! i will add some floating plants, but no other plants planned for the moment. i once had moss but they all ended up in the canister filter with these guys! 😆
@@freshwatertanks thats fair. I could see the Geos having their way with it.
they ripped the moos off piece by piece while looking for food! 😃
@@freshwatertanks absolute mad men. I tried moss in one of my tanks before I learned exactly what my silver dollars preferred to eat. They kept the most stick pretty well shaved.
ha ha so no trimming needed 😆
Hi Meistros!
Interessant, zuzusehen, wie Du/ihr es routiniert und planvoll macht, und zweifellos ein beeindruckendes Becken mit diesen markanten Hölzern drin und den schönen Barschen.(?)
Was ich mich (und euch) aber auch immer wieder frage, ist , welchen Einfluß ich selber und wir als Aquarianer/Konsumenten mit unserem Hobby und damit Kauf von Wurzeln (Mangroven) und evtl. Wildfängen von Tieren, etc. auf die wenigen verbliebenen und leider schrumpfenden Wildgebiete vielleicht ungewollt und unwissenderweise haben. Ich habe z.B. schon abgeholzte Mangrovengürtel gesehen, die die Küsten und die Tierwelt dort ungeschützt zurücklassen.
Hallo. Danke für deine Nachricht. Ja das sind berechtigte Fragen, welche ich mir auch schon gestellt habe. Ich kann das Ganze so mit mir vereinen, dass ich z.B. Wurzeln so gut es geht nur gebraucht kaufe und nur Nachzuchten halte. Aber ob es das besser macht weiss ich nicht. Auch bezüglich Nachhaltigkeit dieses Hobbies habe ich mir Gedanken gemacht. z.B. Strom- und Wasserverbrauch usw. Also kein einfaches Thema. Aber danke für die erneute Anregung.
Its absolutly WOW👍👍
thanks so much! 😃
A real biotope 😉.
thanks a lot! i will add some indian almond leaves once they are fully soaked and floating plantes too 😃
Sono indeciso se prendere un juwel rio oppure un oase highline te quale mi consigli ? Grazie mille e complimenti per le tue vasche
hi there. sorry i do not speak italian (but i used google translate). i don't know the oase highline tanks. i've nerver seen them in real. i can only tell you that i'm happy with all my juwel tanks and that i can recommend them. tanks are great for the price. so you won't do anything wrong by buying a juwel tank in my opinion...
J'adore mais la seule chose qui me choque. C'est tes cane d'aspiration verte on voit que ça. Table sur du noir ou de l'inox.
oui je sais mais c'est okay pour le moment. ca ne me dérange pas vraiment... me je vais les changer dans les prochaines semaines...
What kind of sand is that?
it‘s just regular fine sand 0.2-0.6mm
Bu akvaryumunuzun ölçüleri kaça kaçtı acaba ?
150x50x60cm 😃
@@freshwatertanks cevabınız için teşekkürler. Bende uzun bir aradan sonra yeniden hobiye başladım güney amerikan tankı kuruyorum 100x50x40 ölçülerinde ultraclear inşallah mahçup olmayız 😅
Piękne masz akwarium 👍😈😁
thank you! 💪🙏😃
Less is more 😉. Sehr schön.
Danke! 😃 Ich finde das Becken wirkt jetzt auch grösser...
What color of substrate did you go with
it's natural beige sand... (0.2-0.6mm). but i think it's looks a little bit too bright
I'm not keen on this. It's very architectural, with the large wood pieces, but could be so much more! I'd want to change this after a short while as it would become boring to look at. More logs and rocks could add far more interest to this large tank. It could be done without completely restarting...like a work in progress. I get you are going for simplicity, but this misses achieving that goal and remain interesting.
i see your point! but i was super happy with the setup. it‘s really not that easy to find bigger wood pieces here in switzerland. 🤷♂️
What type of sand did you add?
it‘s regular aquariumsand 0.2-0.6mm
Le taf .....
Très sympa le résultat. Un manque de verdure au 1er visionage. Mais en regardant une 2ème fois ça me dérange moins.
merci beaucoup! 😃 je dois encore acheter des plantes flottantes 🌿
Pure❤️
thanks! 😃
Adipoli...
thanks! 💚
Je pense qu’ils vont beaucoup apprécier le changement de granulométrie 👍🏻👍🏻 j’aimerais garder un aquarium clear comme le vôtre
je pense aussi. spécialement le sable! 😃 ah c‘est seulement clear car j‘ai nettoyé 😄
@@freshwatertanks nooon, je suis jaloux car moi j’ai souvent des filamenteuses ou des algues 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
ah ca m‘arrive aussi avec les algues de temps en temps. 😄
Nice. But i miss the green plants
thanks! i will soon get some floating plants 🌿😃
What is the tank dimension
its 150x50x60cm
Which led light effect use day or nature
Plz reply this i am big fan of you aquariam
hi there. i use day in the front and nature in the back... after uploading this video i did dimm them a bit by covering parts of the lamps and adding floating plants. it was a bit too bright. will soon post an update
I am waiting for your update sir
Sir how can I get this sand from nature
will sure upload it this weekend.
Salut, c'est quoi ton nouveau substrat ?
c'est sable d'aquarium beige 0.2-0.6mm 😃
Substrate link?
it‘s just regular aquarium sand (0.2-0.6mm) 😃
😍
😀😀😀
Sand...?
it‘s regular aquarium sand. no special brand
Deine Aquarien sind immer so extrem sauber :) Aber, so ganz ohne Pflanzen, ich weiß nicht. Vielleicht ein bis zwei Echinodorus, oder sowas?
- Marcus
Hi Marcus. Also da kommen noch Schwimmpflanzen rein. (und noch ein paar Seemandelbaumblätter für den Bodengrund). Ich weiss pflanzenlose Becken gefallen nicht wirklich jedem! Momentan also keine Pflanzen geplant. Echis finde ich aber toll und wär wohl auch die Pflanze meiner Wahl...
@@freshwatertanks Also ich habe selber ein Becken ohne Pflanzen und ich finde es echt hübsch 😊 jeder sein eigener Geschmack 👌🏼
Looks good, but like old setup better
thanks! i liked my previous setups, but this one seems the most natural one for me so far... but many are asking me where the plants are 😄
İzlerken yoruldum hobinin sıkıntılısını seçtik 🙂
bende izlerken ikinci defa yoruldum 😄!
Steh mehr auf die bepflanzten Aquarien mit einem vollständigen Ökosystem, aber ist schön anzuschauen..
Mag Pflanzenbecken auch sehr gerne! 🌿
Missed this one somehow. Beautiful work!
thanks a lot! 😃🐟
makeover looks good.feed them tetrabits it help to bringout the red head in them. i have put video on my channel on my red head tapajos you can it checkout .
tetra bits? ok will try it, thanks a lot. ah cool will check out your videos. thanks! 😃
Was ist das für eine Beleuchtung?
Ist die Lampe welche dabei war. Juwel Multilux Led.
@@freshwatertanks haste da auch probleme mit algen...? Habe das Becken mit 8 diskus...und bekomme durch die multilux nur algen ohne ende..velt haste ja nen tipp?
nein zum glück habe ich keine probleme. was ich mache: licht ist nur 6 stunden an und ich habe die leuchtstärke reduziert. hab mir von juwel nen hiflex reflektor gekauft plus zusätzliche clips. hab diese dann in kleine stücke geschnitten, folie entfernt und umgekeht an die röhren angebracht und so das licht reduziert. fütterst du rinderherz?
@@freshwatertanks ja Fütter ich... das ist natürlich ne idee.. mit den reflektieren!
6 std Beleuchtung ist das nicht zu wenig?
😆😚
😃😃
Wie heisst d'Musig ?
"calling me" vo "ooye" 😃
Mir persönlich hat es vorher besser gefallen, trotzdem schönes Becken
Danke! Das Becken steht leider so nicht mehr. Aber hatte schon Freude an den beiden Wurzeln. ABER: Werde nie mehr so grosse und schwere Wurzeln nutzen. War echt nicht einfach die rein und vor allem vollgesaugt wieder rauszukriegen! 😬😄
