      Probably the overly pretentious narration annoyed a few. It did me. Not enough for me to dislike as its a pretty nice scape but, please... someone else write the narration script. If you have to explain it to death - then did you really pull it off?

    This is the first aquascaping/aquarium video i watched on youtube years ago just as a recommended video. im so glad i clicked it because now 4 years later i am the manager for an aquarium store, their aquascaper, and i maintain an aquarium plant farm. So much has happened since i watched this video and TGM has inspired me to be the aquascaper and hobbiest i am today.

      @@Mekhami for the plant farm i used a semi-coarse sand, but for most people an aquasoil works best, i used the sand because its MUCH cheaper and i had 3 6’x2’ runs. Use co2, and use lots of potassium, more than you think you need. Other than that just basic plant husbandry.

    Well thanks, Green Machine. I've been gorging on these videos for HOURS now. However, I think I've found my favourite of James' works with this piece, and with that, I think I'll call it a night. If I ever find myself in the UK, I'll be visiting the showroom. These tanks are fantastic, and have definitely given me some inspiration. I may attempt a recreation of Crimson Sky in my own living room.

    To prevent moulding or fungus killing off the mosses, add some springtails to each rock with moss. They will also ad free live food for your fish should any of them fall into the water. They are small enough for nano fish to easily eat.

    I went through a solid ten years of working with terrestrial habitats. Even though these tanks are sensational, they are too elegant for me to experiment with. I would love a nice collection of fish but more wilder varieties including aquatic frogs etc. With these exquisite systems the fish variety is critical, narrowed and sensitive.
