    It a white pane put behind the aquarium, and a small lamp illuminating the pane from below. Check my other video "Aquascaping - Aquarium Ideas from PetFair 2013, Łódź, Poland, pt.3" to see how it is done :)

    after watching endless amano tanks and others, i'm finally inspired after watching this arrangement! Thank you.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  12 лет назад

    In fact, it's Ludwigia brevipes :) I spoke with Georg W. Just this year in Hannover, and he told me what plant species he used for the tree :)

  • @Matt_Hln
    @Matt_Hln 11 лет назад +2

    Do you know what plants were used at 1:38? It looks like rotala colorata for the "tree" and then some kind of hairgrass with bacopa caroliniana and staurogyne repens throughout?

    • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
      @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 лет назад

      The tree is made of Ludwigia brevipes. Hairgrass is Eleocharis accicularis, and the stemmed plant is Ammania sp. "bonsai". I think you're right about Staurogyne.

    • @Matt_Hln
      @Matt_Hln 11 лет назад

      DefiniteAquascapeTV Do you know how, or how do you think, they attached the ludwigia to the driftwood without it coming off?

    Aquarium 21 at 1:26 what is that tree, didn't know you could put a bonsai underwater. Amazing.

  • @austinslater8683
    @austinslater8683 11 лет назад

    Do you guys go out and find this driftwood for yourselves or purchase it? It's amazing how many different designs you can achieve with it

  • @gammawitch
    @gammawitch 11 лет назад

    @ DefiniteAquascapeTV yup i keep my koi in a 75 gallon aquarium, and she is right about 12 inch's from head to tail... she started out when i first got her in a small pond and after i learned how bad of an idea that was (the pond froze to a block of ice in the winter, lucky for me i had her inside at the time) i have kept her inside, and so far she seems fairly happy so long as i keep a high current of water flowing in the tank for her to play in.

    • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
      @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 лет назад

      Hmmm, I'm not sure if 75 gallons tank is big enough for a koi large as yours... What are your water parameters, especially NO2/NO3 levels?

    • @gammawitch
      @gammawitch 11 лет назад

      +Definite Aquascape TV actually she is happy and healthy, and i would gladly get you a picture if you would like. i just did a 75% water change but the last readout was as follows
      Ammonia:0
      Nitrite:0
      Phosphate: 0.25
      wide range (basic ph): 7.5
      with the water never getting above 75 degrees max. i have 2 water fall pumps, an under gravel and a uv filter (mainly because she loves the water to have a lot of current) oddly enough if i go any higher on the nitrite levels (as recommended by a koi breeder) she swims on her side, i had to resuscitate her once due to it. ill be the first to admit that this is only the second koi i have raised (the first ate a wasp and died) but i have raised tropical fish for a good chunk of my life with all of my fish having a longer than average life span and size for that matter. if you have any recommendations i would gladly hear you out on them. Thanks again :)

    • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
      @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 лет назад +1

      Hey, thanks for this detailed answer :) You seem to be very well aware of how to take care of koi fish! :) I don't have any recommendations, beacuse I don't know much about keeping koi - I also keep Cyprynids, but far far far smaller than koi ;)

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 лет назад

    Exactly! There should be some fihs in these tanks - they are just not allowed by the rules of the contest, but that's only few days, and for the rest of the time there could be lots of fish! :)

  • @420homegrown420

    That 1:28 aquarium is sick! Have you got any tutorials how to make one? iv been trying to find a proper tutorial for how to make tree with white / red leaves on a rocky grassfield but so far cant find one.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 лет назад

    It's Ludwigia brevipes wrapped around fragment of driftwood. Very good and, in fact, very easy idea... :)

    @jedimaster8691 11 лет назад

    Beautiful tanks!! I've been inspired to create one of these. I do reef tanks, and now want to do a cichlid only tank, and a planted tank. I can't believe there are 2 dislikes on this...maybe their monitor's were messed up lol. Thanks for the amazing video!

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 лет назад

    Try Eleocharis accicularis or Eleocharis parvula. They look like real grass. Glossostigma elatinoides or Hemianthus callitrichoides are another option, but they don't look like grass.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  12 лет назад

    Well, generally sand, escpecially a fine sand, shouldn't be used in aquarium if the thickness of the sand layer is bigger than, say, 1 cm or so. Why do you want to plant on sand? What tank from this video you're thinking about...?

  • @harryaaacol
    @harryaaacol 10 лет назад

    # 12 amazing. Top three in my list.

  • @Hubrishumilityok
    @Hubrishumilityok 9 лет назад

    Does anyone have more info on the tank at 1:29? Aquarium no. 21, 3rd place. I was thinking of doing something exactly like that, any tank similar in style (1 tree surrounded by "grass" surrounded by sand) would also do. I already have a tree, just need moss and will try to drystart dwarf-hairgrass.

  • @Pokekitsu

  • @dandwkang
    @dandwkang 12 лет назад

    This may be a silly question, but where do they get such awesome looking branches, rocks and driftwood? I am a beginner aquarist and want my aquarium to look at least SOMEWHAT close to the ones shown in the video. I tried local fish store and petco, but obviously no luck so far.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 лет назад

    What do you mean? That this tank looks like heaven, so heaven is on Earth (i.e. down, not up)? Or that the sun in this layout (the birighter spot) should be in the upper part of the background, not in the lower...?

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 лет назад

    Sure you can :) I don't know what the result will be, but it's always worth trying :)

  • @stevieandthebarbies
    @stevieandthebarbies 11 лет назад

    Fantastic tanks, really inspired me to do something with an unused aquarium. What is large fern like plant at 5:20 (no 20, Jurijs Jutjajevs) please, also bright green plant centre at 5:52 (no 18, Christian Gaebler)

  • @stevieandthebarbies
    @stevieandthebarbies 11 лет назад

    Thanks - I think my old tanks are going to come out of the shed over the winter. Are these tanks normally kept open or is that just for the competition. Ii love the idea of open tanks so that you can from see all angles

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 лет назад

    That's right, I was also amazed by this idea when I first saw it :)

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  12 лет назад

    What do you mean...? You plant on sand in exactly the same way as you plant on gravel... I'm not sure if I understand the question... :)

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV

    Sure :) It's called "Journey of a lifetime" and is available through Royalty-Free(dot)Tv.

  • @DefiniteAquascapeTV
    @DefiniteAquascapeTV  11 лет назад

    Easy - just take some stems of Ludwigia, put them on the driftwood, and wrap them around with some cotton or nylon thread. There is no "magic trick" behind this, just any method will work - as long as you provide the plant with good conditions for growing, and keep trimming it.

    Usually these kind of plants will not be sold at your local fish store. They are mostly sold via private sellers/growers. Look for your local planted tank forums, they always have trade/sell/buy going on there for rare plants and fish/inverts! plantedtank(dot)com is a popular one if you live in the USA.
