    A suggestion : after the planting show and tell the difference about how plants grown after 5 weeks like each plant that is planted.
    Example i wanted to see how helanthium Tenellum and eriocaulon red will look like after
    5 weeks.
    Btw im also going to make a aquarium like this 😂 the shaoe is very unique 👌

    haven't watched yet but *i already love the thumbnail vs the tank in the first few moments.*
    i think sometimes we keep going with tanks that we kind of aren't really liking anymore, not enjoying or things about it don't work. and it's good to see an overhaul to show what is possible. plus the concept of this one is really cool. fast moving river for TINY fish, and that it's a slanted design for the scape.

    MJ instead of soil you can get at the pond departement of Intratuin lava rock split from Superfish. Great stuff to get hight and for bacteria.

  • @detlefh.7090
    @detlefh.7090 16 дней назад +2

    On a side note: despite of what it's called I am not so sure about the role/importance of carbon in the substrate (as Clear Super). I think (and I have been reading about this lately) it serves much more as a source to speed up bacterial growth.
    Nice work again, Mark.👍

  • @justmyway508

  • @eddyoso
    @eddyoso 16 дней назад +1

    Hey MJ, great video! To enhance plant growth, I like to only put nutrients where the soil layer is thin. Then when you have a thicker layer, like here on the right side, I firstaddthe substrate and add nutrients. Then a final layer of 1-2cm of subtrate before the plants. This way newly planted plants straight away have access to the nutrients and grow much better in the beginning of your setup:)

  • @BTQ410
    @BTQ410 16 дней назад +1

    Gorgeous tank. When you said river, the picture in my head was more of a river flowing the length of the tank. What it turned out was a bit different. Your flow was what I expected, but the scape was more of a cross section of the river. You gave me some things to think about with my 10 gallon long bookshelf tank. I scaped mine where the flow is along the length, but the actual scape is a section from the middle of a river where rocks have fallen and a long piece of driftwood has caught in the rocks forming an underwater bridge between rocks, and it flows the length of the tank. I used natural colored course sand and the rocks are dragon stone. The fish are a school of Venezuelan Red Sail Cory’s and another school of Chili Rasboras with a clean up crew of Amano shrimp. I planted it with crypt parva and lucens along the rocks, small Buce on the wood, and in the open area at one end I used dwarf sag. The dwarf sag has covered and I have to keep it trimmed. I am hoping the chilis will scatter their eggs in the sag and I will get some babies. My Buce is not doing so good in this tank, but I think it is too much light and too close to the light as I have Buce in other tanks and it is doing good in those other tanks. I have changed up my light, so I hope my Buce recovers. Love the long tanks. They are so fun to scape. Thanks for sharing your long tank and your beautiful scape.

      Because most of them were covered in algae :)

      @@MJAquascaping for me its a 10 minutes drive to Azaqua, when the new store is open again i will visit them to check out some sand for my new 160L tank. That corbo root setup off you was very inspiring, hope azaqua has some nice pieces left for me😉

    Hey when you suddenly got algae was it becasue the co2 was too high or too low? I recently had a hair algae break out on my s.repens carpet and the co2 levels are the only thing changed.
