One tip about hiding seams is to use superglue and a bit of the dry sand or pulverized rock it works well and makes it look like one large cohesive piece. I use this technique on freshwater, vivarium, paludarium, and marine set ups.
I always want to build for that look. But truly flow is the most difficult to accomplish right when designing aquascape. Especially for larger tanks where you might need to assemble everything dry and epoxy. Then put into the tank. Hence you cant really test flow until after. But for most now in the hobby nanos and smaller tanks are much more common this whole step can be bypass. Nice pointing out the rule of three a lot of hobbyist may not be aware of this unless they are into photography. Great video!
I learned how to Aquascape in freshwater, and watching MDfishtank. So I tend to do put a bunch of peaces together and see what it looks like. The change what o think doesn't look good. Takes me 2 to 3 hours at most.
I saw a floating island and it's so damn cool! Maybe I'll replicate it and place one near the overflow area 🤔 my ideas is to make a ball of floating bubble tip anemone where clownfish can hang out ^^
So… I used every new bio ceramic balls, materials etc, protein skimmer, spent a fortune on crazy filter systems, still had issues occasionally, now, all I use is a 40 gallon under my real tank, with a full set up of a under gravel filter in the 40 with live rock, being filtered before water makes it to the under gravel keeps fish crap and good etc.. out and just the good anorobic/ aerobics in.. water changes maybe every 6 months… perfect
I am very new to this… Like I don’t even have my large aquarium yet. But it’s been ordered. And the idea of all that wasting of water is not ideal. So I love this probably I won’t do it until I feel more grounded and what I’m doing but I’d like to ultimately change to this type of system it just sounds so much more eco-friendly. And less hassle

Should be watery super glue too right?
@@markm266 you can use gel or thin liquid just depends on how big of an area needs done. Thin liquid usually dries and cures quicker. Ive used both
Best aquascaping video on RUclips so far

I really wish you explained distance to leave between rockwork and glass.
It's called the Golden Ratio
Love this guy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am waiting for this episode 😍

Maybe overkill but do you think using rodi water to mix the cement would be better? Or is that what you did
What name brand of rock are you using in the sea horse tank has nice wild colors
Yeah I want to know too?
Is there a preference between the E-Marco mortar and the AquaForest Stone Fix? If so, what and why?

push coral dust into the epoxy while it dries
My tank will include Macro-algae and Corals.
