I didn't realize it before now, but I have a combination fallen tree/tunnel in all 3 of my nanotanks. It's fun to watch the shrimp playing on the branch and crawling through the tunnel.
🤗🌿🐠🪴🐠 I really love your aquascaping ideas !! So many cool looks and I like that you use all the different rocks , woods and even leaves . Just beautiful .👍❤️
@@thesmallscape Ya I just love Fall . Perfect weather , beautiful colors with the trees changing . Decorating my home this week . Also getting a 20 gallon set up . I think im gonna do standing tree or fallen tree look . I've got some really beautiful polished rocks in different colors and some mopani wood . Gonna give it a shot . Anyway thanks for the ideas . 🤗👍🪴🍂🌿🐠🍁🍀🍃🌾
A great overview of aquascaping design. As Amano did, nature is my inspiration which leaves so many options. I have used most of these styles. The other thing to consider is negative space or open space. So concave, convex, dividing path, caves, underpasses, overhangs, etc.
Nice idea with the tunnel. Blue Glass beads on Amazon for that tunnel can be placed to mimic a flowing river. Great video. You have my mind thinking. Sorry for babbling
Very nice and calming video! I am having my grade 7 class plan and build a 20 gallon high tank and this video is a great summary of options for scapes!
Great video. Theres so many cool plants that despite my original plan - mine is now a jungle tank an i have a feeling thats how any tank i do will end up turning out !!
Have you ever tried the Supernatural Peace River gravel? Nice small mini stones so you can make a house with this gravel as a walkway with a water sprite on each side of the house as a tree. Just a thought.
Hi! It’s hard for me to decide on favorites, but I am really drawn to the calm, sprawling design of #11. Plus cool use of rocks including the petosky stones. I also do love a tunnel or archway. So many nice scapes! Happy Wednesday 😊
Thanks for voting! ☺️ it’s bugging me but I have not found the majority of those petosky stones. I stashed them somewhere very very “safe”. Happy Wednesday to you too! ☺️☺️☺️
I have a 36 bow front that's been sitting empty for over two years 🤦....but, when I do get ready and have time to scape it and set it up, I really want to do one of those underwater forests
Love the tunnel scape. Coincidentally I was out today foraging river stones for my new 20 long. Still unsure of what it's inhabitants will be. Maybe Colombian Tetras.
I just finished my first scape! Well, at least the hardscape part. I'm still obsessing over plant choices. I have no idea what you'd call it. Maybe an island with tunnels on the sides? Spiderwood and river rock. 😊
Yay! One of your best videos ever. Glad to see you showing aquascapes again and not just tips. Can't decide which scape that I like the best. I'm going to have to play this video several more times to make a decision. I currently have a 6 gallon long bookshelf tank that I just filled with water and threw some wood and a few plants into to start it cycling. Problem is I'm finding out that it's just 1-2 inches too short in reality for the vision that I have in my head. Definitely like the fallen log riverbank type of scape. I have a few specimens of Anubias barteri and coffeefolia that are not too tall yet. I also have some nana petite and buce. The wood is dragonwood. I have Val., dwarf sag, pogostemmon stellatus, anachronis, and others. Can't decide yet which is going to make the final cut. Decisions, decisions. Wish that I could send them to you and have you do the scape. 😅
Haha then we both wouldn’t be able to decide how to scape it! 😆. Sounds like you have a lot of fun goodies to play with but I’ve had that happen so many times where something is just not the right size. Frustrating. Good luck!
You make it look so easy! The island version…what filtration would you use to replace the sponge filters…but on a 75 gallon? I’m trying to “move up” and have been encouraged by my husband to make the 75 (that will be sitting on our buffet and a definite eye catching place) more of a show tank. He means without all the “Stuff” showing 😂 Any suggestions, oh and I have picked up a fluval 407 canister…my first.
@@thesmallscape it is. Had a pair and they actually had babies. Only ten made it to be tiny frogs but watching the transformation was so fun. Highly recommend
Someday when I have the space, I want to put together a gallery of micro tanks, like under .5 gal just so I can play with scaping in different styles and different shapes of tank. I'm super inspired by the PNW 40oz with sump.
I lived in Gatlinburg for eight month in the early 90s I’ve been to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park quite a few times I used to have pieces of fossilized wood from one of the rivers I wish I still had them I’d use them in my aquariums💯🌱🦐🐠💙🔥
Very good suggestions on what to use for scaping. I like these ideas. Dragon Stone is cool 😎. If you break it right, it will look like a skull of a dragons head with the hole in the stone for its eye socket.
Please make a video on Reasons why planted tank crash / nytrogen cycle crash. Specifically for nano tanks 5-10 gallons. And how to prevent it. Thanks! 🙂 Ps: I have 3 month old 5 gallon planted tank with 6 endlers. Plants: Pearl weed, salvinia, hydrocotyle japan. No co2, hob filter. Nano air stone, Light running 6 hrs a day no algae. Liquid fertilizer: APT Zero daily.
Oh wow - a couple years huh? Must have quite the driftwood. It usually depends on the type of driftwood too and how often you do water changes. You may want to switch out the driftwood if it hasn’t improved and it really bugs you. Otherwise it is really good for the fishies and gives it a cool moody vibe ☺️🍁🍂
Number 5, I would call it, lion king under water. Beautiful scapes Joanna
Slowly going through your videos so I can finally have such beautiful tanks as yours!! Great job!!
Love that last one. Gorgeous
All beautiful scapes Joanna love the video 👍👍
I love the art that you bring to aquascaping.
@@christinetaylor6110 Thank you Christine, that’s so kind ☺️
I love the double island style. It allows you to leave an open area for the fish while planting heavily on each end of the tank. Great examples!
I love one day my tanks will look that good. 😊
3,4 were realy nice. Tough choices , great ideas
Great vid! So many ideas all in one place
I have a bare bottom tank. I enjoy your videos, they are so beautiful and creative. I hope that once my overtime ends I can emulate a beautiful tank.
This is one of your best videos ever! Thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍
My favorites are the tree trunk, river scape and the diagonal!!!
Thank you, John, that means a lot to me. I had fun making it ☺️
Can't thank you enough .. exactly the kind of push I needed to chane my tanks escape.. lovely escapes❤
Oh yay! That is great to hear. Now go and have a bunch of fun!!🌱🙌🍂
That river bank idea also good for a bonsai penjing. Cool 😎
I didn't realize it before now, but I have a combination fallen tree/tunnel in all 3 of my nanotanks. It's fun to watch the shrimp playing on the branch and crawling through the tunnel.

Thanks so much! I don’t know about you but with fall in the air I kind of have the scaping bug in a major way ☺️

Great ideas. I have my classic jungle scape. Crazy plants everywhere. Nano fish and shrimps like it a lot 🙂
Great scaping ideas fun to watch and learn. Thanks for sharing!
So happy to hear it! Thanks for stopping by! ☺️
Here to learn!
Such a great video, you are killing me with ideas!😀 Now I want to redo my tanks.

Wonderful ideas! I think the riverbank style is my fav. I look forward to seeing your 22 long when complete!
Isn’t it just so dreamy?? 🤩
2 islands. Super cool!!!
Nice idea with the tunnel. Blue Glass beads on Amazon for that tunnel can be placed to mimic a flowing river. Great video. You have my mind thinking. Sorry for babbling
Great ideas thank you
Very helpful 👌 thanks😊 i enjoy each tank ❤ # 10 is my favorite. Caught my eye 👍👍
Thanks for your vote, John! I will enjoy attempting that style ☺️
Very nice and calming video! I am having my grade 7 class plan and build a 20 gallon high tank and this video is a great summary of options for scapes!
Thanks so much, Mrs M! How fun is THAT for your class! 🌟 🙌🌱
Great idea for vid especially for folks with MTS
Haha! Thanks, Lee. ☺️
Island is really cool also

Oh yes, I do love peace river and …jungle river together with it. Carib sea has such a great assortment! Both perfect sizes for miniature work ☺️
Great ideas
All excellent 👌
Subbed. Did not know you had a separate channel. Planning a small aquascape for a 20 nano
Great!! Thank you for the sub - GOOOOO NANO! 🌱🙌. Have fun scaping the 20!

Thank you!! 😊
I am setting up a new 125 gallon and I like your two island style. But, I may change one of the islands into a tunnel. Thanks for the ideas.
Cool idea!
Love the tunnel scape.
Coincidentally I was out today foraging river stones for my new 20 long.
Still unsure of what it's inhabitants will be. Maybe Colombian Tetras.

When you have driftwood cut off flat you can use a dremel tool to round it so it looks more natural.
Yes! You are correct. I need to make sure that tool stays up here for easy access. 🙌
Like the last one. Almost exactly how my 20 long adf tank is scaped 😊
How fun! So peaceful ☺️

Haha! Nice- love it! I do love it also for ease of breaking it
I have the most amazing rocks. And a lot of coral fossils in my tank
My Petoskey is from a land site so it's not water worn. I know everyone loves it polished but.... I guess I prefer the unworn better
Have you ever tried to add aquatic isopods to your aquascapes? I recently "discovered" them and am curious why I don't see them used in scapes.
Number 11 is my favourite, but it is so hard to keep that sand clean.
Please make a video on Reasons why planted tank crash / nytrogen cycle crash. Specifically for nano tanks 5-10 gallons. And how to prevent it. Thanks! 🙂
Ps: I have 3 month old 5 gallon planted tank with 6 endlers.

No co2, hob filter. Nano air stone, Light running 6 hrs a day no algae.
Liquid fertilizer: APT Zero daily.
my water is such high pH (8.4) that I cannot grow java fern, I even tried aquarium co-op's easy green and that is not helping either. 😞
What is the dark stone in #11?
💙💙💚💚
How do you keep your water so clear? All my wood has turned my water into tea. I know the tannins are great but Sheesh! It’s been a couple years!
Oh wow - a couple years huh? Must have quite the driftwood. It usually depends on the type of driftwood too and how often you do water changes. You may want to switch out the driftwood if it hasn’t improved and it really bugs you. Otherwise it is really good for the fishies and gives it a cool moody vibe ☺️🍁🍂
That poor fish swimming up and down the glass of that tiny tank is giving me anxiety.
