    I've come back to your videos after watching them almost three years ago. It was the first introduction I had to aquascaping and I have since started keeping fish and a couple of low tech planted tanks. I'll be building my first with Co2 and external filter etc this month and it's nice to watch your content again as a reference.

    Nice aquarium !!
    But make videos a bit longer like the older videos you have on the channel. And show us step by step everything you did, like how to install the waterfall and what product you have chosen and why. That would make this videos even more better than it already is!! Keep up the good work and provide us with more nice aquariums please. And more frequently would be awesome.

  • @Eza_yuta

    I think it is important to always show in video how you put and hide the filter utilities. It's for beginners' inspiration how to do it in many different ways.

    Absolutely stunning scape.
    I've a question about this though, I love scapes like these with wood sticking out of the water but in my experience it tends to grow a lot of fungus. Is there any way to prevent or treat this? If not, will it disappear naturally or stay there?
    Kind regards.

    So much creativity and amazing aquascaping skills Mr. Findlay has. I really enjoy watching this videos. I’m planning my first planted aquarium in a few years and really like the look of the wood out of the water. I’m curious on how the circulation is ran out on the wood. Is it a small pump hidden under the wood with a piece of tubing located in the piece or is it just a power head pushing water up and out? Thank you in advance and keep up the incredible work!

  • @Thorinox
    @Thorinox 6 лет назад

    Is there any way you can do a video explaining the filter system? Im not familiar with that kind of system and wish to know more about them. I absolutely LOVE your videos and wish I could do one myself someday, but unfortunately where I currently live, we are not allowed to have tanks with water in them, not even so much as a fish bowl.

  • @malonecustomdesigns

  • @AquaticHaus
    @AquaticHaus 7 лет назад

    It'd be awesome if you could share on what height should we trim with the stem plants and whether should we replant the trimmed ones or just basic trim and they would take over themselves

    • @tomi1455
      @tomi1455 7 лет назад

      when trimming the stem plants for the first time you should trim it really short or at least if you plant them behind rock or wood, trim them just bellow your hardscape height because when you cut a stem plants,they will grow the new stem from the side/bellow the part that get cut.
      and you can replant the trimmed one if you want.

    • @AquaticHaus
      @AquaticHaus 7 лет назад

      Do you mind heading over to my channel and watch my planted tank video and give me feedback on my height trimming or maybe a suggestion whether to leave it and trim just the middle portion to upper part or should I start all over and trim it super duper short and start again
      thanks!
