"Are you a dog or a cat person?"
...I build ecosystems.
I'm gonna say that 🤣
*heh heh who doesnt*
Very underrated comment
Actually he has got a cat...
He does have a cat though. So im gonna say cat person. Lol
I feel like your tank could use a closeup live stream with that music running in the background.
Would definitely watch it all day!
I agree
Yes.
Would be so relaxing if they played it in office environments
rip internet bill
Tim Venker same
Why is this in my recommended
Watches video
Oh that was lovely
Same.
Never subscribed to a channel faster!
yeah. idk how i got here but im lovin it
Same. "What the hell... oh wait that is nice"
Yeah, me too. Not sure why this is in my recommended videos but it's pretty awesome.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one!!
I love how you just kept finding the dragonfly nymph and just zoom right into it 😂
What ever happened to that nymph!?
@@herculesmclovin right? They live for years, under water.
Omg I agree right?! Too cute!
Dragonfly nymphs eat fish 😅
I need a "Shrimp Tank Lo-Fi" livestream.
This made me so emotional and appreciative of life like
I’m crying over a tank full of plants and shrimp

Carolynn Hanna Ross This made my day
when you removed the eriocaulon and said it might have made it, I had a tear in my eye. Seems it was fighting hard :/
How dare ludwigia stand in it's place
True
dragonfly nymph is like "O_O where am i"
I though it was a mayfly
@@bobbylee2985 is actually a damselfly nymph, dragonfly nymphs are quite different
I really love the fact that you have a dragonfly nymph. they are known for being the indicator of a very clean water ecosystem. And the way you edit the video really makes it so relaxing. thanks for sharing with us ^^
there's a lot of dragon nymph on our drainage canal.
@Linh Nguyen how so? Its what i learned when researching water in the lab.
@@loviebeest They're extremely aggressive hunters
@@Yonatan24 I know that. But dragonflies nymphs only grow in clean water. So they are a good indicator that the water is clean and livable.
@@loviebeest idk why they said that, you're right. I took a few limnology classes and dragonfly nymphs can be used as a bioindicator of oxygen levels and pollution since they are pretty sensitive. Their presence in high numbers a good sign! EPT index is more commonly used but doesn't mean dragonflies are useless in that context lol
I am so damn ignorant in these “things”, but this vid make me think about all the love that a human being could give to the planet earth ...the incredible power of Mother Nature.... I am deeply grateful for this wonderful gift, this is the most beautiful video I ever seen in my life, it touched my little soul.
Maybe all my worries all my troubles were necessary in my life, because they take me by my hands until this moment.
Thank you
Deeply thank you
i just watched this and I agree! god feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field! The connection is love and trust!
@@jeaniedelgado687 💙💙
Earth is just a planet she does not care, she can't actually. Nature don't care too...
@@Atimoz negativity is unhealthy, my friend. maybe if you try, you can understand what they mean. happiness exists through something as seemingly simple as a thriving ecosystem. :)
@@pseudojester nah, im not negative, just talking bout' facts
I still don’t know how big your cat is, could you show us your cat next to itself for size comparison
I still don't know how big you are; can you place a chair next to yourself for size comparison?
3:41. I always think during his videos what that thing was and now I find out he actually made it himself. I feel like I just watched a superhero origin story.
the shot of the plant giving off air bubbles is so cool!!!!!
What you are watching is oxygen being made :)
@@lightspeed72 Wooooow!!! :D
pearling 💗
I'm emotionally attached to that dragonfly nymph
This is seriously impressive. So calming and lovely.
Which is what makes it so beautifully divine. It's so complicated! But its also so..simple..simply stunning
🎶🎵🐟🐠🐡💕
This heals my soul
this must be the best comment ever on youtube
FreeLynx seconds ago I saw someone else saying the same...I'm confused.
where
Then imagine 20 Ak 47 shooting it down. Representing humanity
you have no soul
I like the floating plant separator idea!
i disagree entirely
Max W why?
Have to or the floating plants will 'grab up all the light'.
How do we built one?
Érika Pinto watch the entire video to see how
fell into a rabbit hole of watching these videos after one was recommended to me and im not mad
the white part of the magnet in the back looks like a crescent moon and it only adds to the beauty of this
Laura Beth i was thinking the same thing! it made me fantasize of having my own tank with some kind of moon-phase display in the background
hannah that sounds so pretty! if you make it you should post a video!!
Between the beautiful music and the lovely waterscape, I could watch for hours...
this showed up on my feed and for some strange reason, this felt relaxing to watch while drinking my beer lol.
This showed up in my feed and now I'm spending 3 days trying to buy 5mm acrilic tubes for the plant separators for the aquarium that I do not have.
They only really work if you don't have water disruption. The rim of a plastic bowl stays afloat much easier.
@@Aleshanation yep, I already have it floating :) except that I've bought a clear tube at home Depot and sealed the ends. Works like a charm. Maybe I'll even have videos coming soon :D
I spend 3 days and build his exact tank in my way. Starting from 0 aquaria knowledge. Now i am an connoisseur
MEEEE TOOO MAN
Amazing! I told my local pet store about your project, they didn't believe me until they saw your video that is so beautiful and detailed homeostasis.
Somehow.. I just got hypnotized and watch this video till the end.. It's beautiful.. Make me realize that water and earth.. Is living.. It grows.. It makes live.. Beautiful.. Oh, and nice music too😊
Dude, 60 days in one video, way to dedicate!!!! So proud of your effort and your work. Having made the same attempt, I envy your patience level
All I’m saying is this is the best genre on RUclips cause it just calms my anxiety 💕💕💕
-"I built a big compagny"
-"I built a familly"
-"What did you do ?"
-" *I created a universe* "
I watched this video like I was hypnotized by it
fazaro agreed
true
I think its the music
it is, the music is what puts you in the trance.
Your videos are so relaxing
I really love your work and execution of Walstads great tips. I've found online low tech groups often try to push people away from her methods - I don't understand why, you're work is glaring proof of good concepts and science.
Your channel is a great inspiration. Love the text over hearing someone talk.
I started watching your videos a month ago. They inspired me to start my own no mechanical filter/no feet tank. The fun is in the process. It's all about process. And patience. Thank you for the beautiful videos and the inspiration!
I have no clue how I got here,but this video was like a well-choreographed ballet. Bravo good job.
Cat is the new SI unit for measurement
lol 👍
That has become an empirical fact now. ;P
Irfancooking can't wait to see what cats per second per second measures
Irfancooking iii
1 shrimp ≈ 12 microkitty
I have an empty 120 liter aquarium. Can wait to set it up just like this.
You can do it , the bigger the aquarium the stability is better
06:14 those shrimp were posing like it was an 80s rap album
Why am I watching this... suprisingly I love it.. make me wanna keep a shrimp...
Dem shrimps having a good life lol
Yeah All they do is clean which means all they do is eat
he is living better than me...
Better than my life i guess...
shrimps like to fuck too. Imagine there was only one person to fuck
wot
I found your channel by some random recommendation after watching honeykki and I’m so happy about it. I subscribed right away and now I watch your beautiful videos to relax, while I’m studying, writing, or just need to meditate for a moment while I hide from my children in a dark locked bathroom.
Thank you for such lovely wholesome content 💙
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!
I've bin checking your channel every day since the set up. Came home from work, saw the vid and smiled. Thanks for bringing this man
I love your videos so much! Thank you for taking the time to save up footage and edit it. :)
thanx 4 introducing me to the dragonfly nymph, a possible future pet. hidden videos like these are gems
Is it just me or does this video/music make you want to start playing Minecraft out of the blue?
CREEPER EXPLOSION 💥
Yes, it can be done! I've been running a 105gal tank with no filter or c02 for 4 or 5 years now. It's hard to convince people about it because they really don't believe that you can run it without a filter.
Mafanwe we need video
We'd love to see it? Maybe you can make a pintrist?
you should make a video or two about it.
How do you make it? Iam interested in doing this myself. I already have 2 Aquariums (with filter) my 3rd isnt in use at the moment. Is there anything really importent to know?
Do you have any tip for the biofilm on the top of the water (on my no filter aquarium) there's only plants in it for now...
Very nicely done!
thanks.
i agree well done
This is incredible! I love all of it! Nice relaxing tune, beautiful colors, fine touches and adjustments with descriptions, overall A+!
What women think men watch: WWE, cars and sports
What men actually watch:
I bet many many ppl who watch these are women
@@tantanmustdie why?
We can't judge tho so yea
We women had too much on our watchlist to even think what men watches
@@cassymin3648 damn
I literally waited every day for an update video. Sweet!
What an engineer you are! I'm learning so much from your vids (plant separator). Thank you!
I love that you play my favorite song, gymnopedie in like every single video. It makes me very happy
How the hell I come from ''ski fails'' to this?
Hahahaha!
Maybe you needed something to balance the adrenaline rush?
Lol love that dragonfly hitchhiker
EDIT: hehe thnx for the likes XD
Yeah, so cool. He would be my main focus in this tank :)
Did he end up eating your shrimp? It looked more like a damselfly nymph to me than a dragonfly nymph btw.
If it were a dragonfly nymph, all the shrimp would've disappeared seeing as they're voracious predators.
Damselfly nymphs can eat shrimp too though - especially small or newly hatched ones.
How did it survive? DID it survive??
I've been inspired by your channel and am now trying to do the same thing with my 5 G. Just plants, red rams horn snails and one cherry shrimp so far.
good luck.
Thank you. I've got a lot of string algae that I'm trying to done down the lights to fix. Very weird to not do a filter but I'm inspired by your tanks and trying to mimic them. Baby tears, hair grass and something else small so far (can't remember the name). Got a lot of new baby red rams horn snails born that I hope will help the hair algae. Thank you for showing the set backs of dead plants and algae struggles. That helps with my own troubles. Looking forward to more tank!
@@CoffeeGyrl666 I am trying to fight those hair algae too in my tanks.
Those nerites are my favorite. They're just vibing and being a good kid. Wholesome.
I like to see the shrimp cleaning up with their little arms, just munching on the grass and the dead stuff. They look like little janitors keeping the tank clean hoping for that holiday bonus
I love it!
beautiful
so much passion! love it!
The magnetic glass cleaner in the back looks like a crescent moon. Makes the set up look even more enchanting.
Oh my gosh !! Those plants are thriving great !! Thank you so very much for the video.
Very relaxing to watch. Honestly I dreamed to have of this before but sadly I can't afford. So thanks for making a video of your very beautiful tank. 😊❤️
You should try! This type of aquariums (Walstad method) are quite cheap to install and maintain.
I have channeled Mr Rogers. He approves. I cannot think of a higher accolade.
I just can't get over how beautiful you're tanks are. The plants and each little life in there does something helpful. I had no idea you could even put soil in a tank. I mean I'm just so blown away. My husband said oh I can see you making a tank like this. Jesus I wouldn't know how to even begin 😲
I really learned nothing but I like your patience and chillness
Life, life finds a way..
Intrepid Nick *jurassic world hype intensifies*
You mean the life he added to the aquarium?
Intrepid Nick The issue never was about life not being able to live. The issue is that normally the life that finds a way is bacteria and algae that will take over the tank and kill everything else.
You are so smart! Loved it!
This is amazing and relaxing to see. I had such a bad day and don't know how I came across this video. I'm glad I did.
This is awesome. I feel rested and happy while watching this. You really love that.
tis actually a damselfly nymph my good sir.
Job well done
Ahhh.. I've reached the NICE side of youtube.. time to sit back and enjoy! (content mode initiated)
You are so good at this. I just watched the 23rd video and now I'm starting to watch them all. Great job!
I'm not 100% sure what I'm watching 🙈 it just came up but it's soo satisfying to watch
I love it!
This is so damn Peacefull ^.^
Very beautiful! Do you now have a pet dragonfly!?? Lol
I love watching fish and aquarium videos before going to sleep, it really helps me to relax. Especially when there’s rain outside!
your camera movements show so much passion. im in love with your channel!!
This was suggested to me after watching ASMR and I totally understand why. Great hobby. I wish I had the money and patience to set something like this up if only for stress relief.
It's more stressful than you think
i am doing it. love it so far. easier than you think.
It doesn't take that much money. Petco runs dollar per gallon sales 4 times a year (one is currently running till nov 16) pet supplies plus runs them about the same amount. Tanks are always on Craigslist too. A heater is less than 20$ on amazon. For substrate you can literally dig up dirt from your yard and use gravel you find outside too. If not a bag of organic dirt (organic is the most important part) is 10$ or less at Home Depot. They sell 40-50 pound bags of gravel for the same amount of money. Pool filter sand is a great option too sold at pool stores in 40/50 pounds for 10-12$ or black diamond blasting sand sold at tractor supply 50 pounds 12-15$. I highly suggest dirt and gravel or dirt and sand combo. If you choose dirt/sand get MTS snails to aerate the soil to keep it from getting anerobic and yup you guessed it most pet stores view them as pests and will literally just give them to you for free. If not you can get 10 for 10$ online. Buy your plants online from someone who actually sells aquarium plants. Not petco/Petsmart/petsuplies plus unless the plants are growing in water. Better bang for your buck. I've had great success with one particular seller on amazon and Dustin's fish tanks. Lighting can be done extremely cheaply too but I don't have any suggestions for that because I'm not good with light, I just went all out and bought an expensive led after I repeatedly picking terrible bulbs. Check out Dustin's fish tanks how yo set up a ghetto aquarium. If you type it into RUclips it should come up. He's done 2-3 versions of the video.
A whole ecosystem in a tank. I want to live in it 😫❤️❤️
you do 😉🌐
Respect.
I was having such terrible anxiety. Not sleeping, being compulsive and obsessive, and i clicked on one of these videos and it helped soothed a lot of mixed emotions, heart and mind racing thought. Thank you. I might be able to get some peaceful sleep
I'm not usually into these things but you're video is so hypnotizing that I watched the whole thing. I love how healthy it looks in Day 60. Great job!
This is such a relaxing video.
I love it
I’ve never seen a dragonfly living in the water :) interesting
This video is very informative and relaxing.
I enjoyed every part of it!
Way to go
all dragonflys start out as nymphs in the water then they grow up and become dragonflys. This however is not a dragonfly nymph it is a damselfly nymph
Sure dragon fly larvae are quite predatory and even eat fish
The nymph was a damselfly nymph not a dragonfly nymph (these real killers to anything that moves) remove them.
Really awesome 👏
I like the contraption you made to add water back into the tank. I also like the plastic oval you made to keep the mosquito grass out and allow the light to get through. Very smart ideas.
The music and hair dryer were just the right sound combo. Relaxing video.
I need to know (and this may have been answered) - did the dragonfly eventually mature!!!??? Beautiful tank!
no, I think it takes a very long time before it leaves the water.
Foo the Flowerhorn yep, 3-4 years
So much nicer than that one youtuber guy who keeps killing his aquarium animals from trial and error haha. Good job!
Sheepington The Polite Sheep educate me pls? Whats the channel name
He should be in the related videos on the right. :)
Sheepington The Polite Sheep my next recommended video is a biographics about Heinrich Himmler,im sure he killed some people,but not sure about fishes
Pinecone I think it’s Dustin Pak
Sheepington The Polite Sheep are you talking about that “life in jars?” guy?
What a wonderful video, so relaxing and intriguing, my niece and I had a wonderful time watching it so thank you 🤗
Most peaceful video that i've watched. This guy got patience.
Elegant and informative
I disagree Nina. What an amateur
Max W why are you being so pointlessly negative to the people in the comments on this video lmao
Because I disagree with them
just by watching it some how calmed me down.
it’s so cool seeing the infancy of this, you seem like you’ve grown a lot in terms of establishing how you want to structure these videos, whereas at this point it seemed you were trying to get a foothold.
very nice progression to see indeed.
This is so relaxing...
Thank you for made this, this video make my day brighter..
That is actually a damselfly nymph
The difference is a dragonfly nymph has extremely short tails, and are a lot thicker.
ART!
I just love watching this content it’s so relaxing, and sometimes I watch ur vids while doing painting! ❤️
Most relaxed I've been in the last month, came while watching this. Thank you.
My fav fishkeeper ❤️❤️
you mean shrimp keeper, don´t you?
I don´t think so. They don´t have vertebral column, shrimps are invertebrates. They are crustaceans rather than fishes.
fish*
paarek this channel started with a flower horn. Hence, why I said favorite fishkeeper.
This is awesome. How often do you change the water? Btw the dragonfly larvae is amazing, it will soon need a branch sticking out of the water to climb on and molt into a drangonfly. The dragonfly larvae eats living creatures, what do you feed it?
after putting in the livestock, I did 10~15% water changes every other day. rarely 50% when the water became too brown. this is done until the tank is completely established which takes 2~3 months. at that time, I usually do 25% weekly. for the dragonfly larvae, I didn't feed him anything. he molted twice, though. I tried to find out what he eats, but he's supposed to eat other insects and small fish. but he's so small, I don't think he can catch such a thing.
dragon fly larvae prey on live insects, eg. mosquito larvae and/or brine shrimp and backswimmers. :)
Andrew Morphas a more rounded biotope than the traditional pump and filter tanks, I am not the only fish keeper who manages water rather than changing it out anymore!
New school is here, biotech, baby!
Foo the Flowerhorn "He" Did you just assume the dragon fly's gender?
Actually it is a damselfly larvae
such a beautiful tank and video!! excellent job Foo, you are goals.
This was so peaceful. I didn't want to stop watching at all! Definitely subscribing :)
