Absolutely stunning! It is probably the hardest to scape such a small tank compared to 3 times bigger one! Welldone, I am not surprised you won the 1st place with this scape! 👏👏👏👏👏
Does all tanks needs a filter and co2 or there is a way to keep them crystal clear without a filter? And if you must use a filter, which will be suitable for a small 1-2 gallon tank? Thank you
+Lucas Goodding i will be doing a presentation and demonstration in jacksonville florida in may, and planning to do something for the greater houston aquarium club in houston texas sometime this year.
I love this, I am about to attempt my fist aquascaped tank. So far I have a tank, filter, led light, sand, rocks and driftwood. I am doing my research but most videos don't list the names of the powder they lay before the substrate, would you mind telling me what you use underneath your substrate? thank you in advance.
The powders used are 3 products made by ADA. Bacter100 is a mixture of over 100 types of beneficial bacteria for the aquarium environment, the black powder is called "clear super" and is just crushed carbon to help keep water clarity. And the grey powder is tourmaline BC, its just a powder tourmaline that is supposedly beneficial for the bacteria and plant roots. all three of these products are supposed to help provide a more optimum aquarium envrionment for the bacteria and substrate, but are not absolutely necessary for a successful aquascape.
Where do you get all of the products? I'm looking for a way to start this on a very small scale at first, like just a couple desktop aquascapes for my desk at work.
everything here I was able to buy locally at my fish stores, the only things that you might have a hard time finding are the ADA additives, you can get them online
I recommend using CO2 in any setup, it can benefit any plant. for layouts using only epiphytic plants such as java fern and anubias, CO2 is not mandatory but will still improve the health and speed of growth
Hey glass Canvas i'm fan of tour aquascaping Channel (i'm french ) but i don't understand why this is not the same aquarium at the end but it is wonderful but this not the same tank there isn't the plants plants on the right like the layout of the rock and the plants on the left but i love what you do 😍
I bought the wood and rocks from my local fish shop. The substrate is ADA amazonia aquasoil. plants used were various bucephalandra species, anubias, cryptocorine lucens, narrow leaf java fern, and monte carlo

do i need filtration for a 20x20 nano planted? and what can you say about low tech tanks? btw, i am a total beginner so i can't tell if i have enough lighting or not.. hope you reply :D
filtration is always reccomended, beneficial bacteria thrive in the filtration media and water movement is beneficial in the planted tank. many people have different definitions as to what defines a tank as low tech, all i can say is, make sure you are meeting the needs of your fish and plants. if not, choose different fish and plants that you are capable or willing to provide care for.
P.S. if you were asking if filtration is necessary because you did not see a filter on this video, i remove all hardware and equipment from the tank while filming for presentation purposes. it just looks nicer without all the glass and plastic all over the tank.
Thank you so much for the quick reply man :D, i have some last questions how much lighting is enough and is co2 worth it? since im just a student relying on what i can save (co2 systems cost so much!) hahahahaha you have awesome tanks btw Love it!!
as far as lighting, i use my eye to judge (which i realize is not a completely adequate method) but most people will quantify it with PAR ratings. It really depends on the plants you want to use, most stem plants will do better in high lighting and generally epiphytes like ferns/anubias/mosses do not need as much light. on the subject of CO2, it is definately worth it if youre looking for healthy, dense, lush growth. CO2 is vital part of photosynthesis. Simply put, the vast majority of plants will not grow well without CO2 injection into the water. the three essential reactants for photosynthesis are water, light, and CO2, with low CO2 concentration in the water, your plants are not producing the energy needed for proper and healthy growth.
I'm not sure that "dangerous" would be the word to use. People do not reccomend seiryu for shrimp tanks because it raises water hardness and it is said that can cause molting issues for shrimps. Being responsible with water changes keeps the hardness pretty consistent and in my experience doesn't allow the water hardness to rise to less-than-ideal levels. Having said all that, this is an aquascape with shrimps in it, and not a shrimp tank. By that I mean that the shrimps are not the focus of this aquarium. the neocaridina family of shrimps are very hardy and you can see in the video they are doing just fine, even breeding in the tank.
+Glass Canvas Aquascape Do you remember the specific brand haha? I have a one that's a Gila frost and one that is an Artscape etched glass. Thanks again!
sorry I dont remember, there is one brand where it is very soft and feels like just static cling, and there is a much more hard brand that is adhesive based, the adhesive based one is much much better, i think it came in a long purple box
Absolutely stunning! It is probably the hardest to scape such a small tank compared to 3 times bigger one! Welldone, I am not surprised you won the 1st place with this scape! 👏👏👏👏👏
Any updates? Nothing for two years, those tanks are (were) amazing!
Just found your channel thanks to the article on you in Aquarium Hobbyist-congrats on your IAPLC placement! Your scape was beautiful!

Stunning. Beautiful scape
Looking good man. I like the theme with the shrimp and the way the algae looks on the rocks! Great balance dude!
Great vid as always, aquascape looks great with algea on rocks...balance is awesome
Loved this video, beautiful and inspiring scape!
Absolutely gorgeous! love that algae on the rocks.
Beautiful and inspiring! Helped me plan on how to scape my Crystal red shrimp breeding tank :)
This is outstanding work! I only wish I could produce living art this stunning.
Another great scape , you make look effortless .
thank you!
I love it.
As always, great scape and congratulations!
What type of filter & CO2 was used in this?
excellent video
Congratulations, but not surprising given your beautiful scape. What is the name of your main carpeting plant used in the middle of the scape please?
so satisfying
Where did this guy go? No posts in 5 years. :( Houstonian here - what what! :D
Amazing. What are the fish?
how beautiful and natural. I'll also design a nano aquarium next time
THIS IS SO NICE!
thanks =)
It look awesome.. Thank you for sharing.. Can you give us the name of the plants you're using? I would appreciate it so much.
Again thank you..
Brilliant aquascape!
omg your exclamation point rasboraras are so cute!
Your nanoaquarium is beautifull.
Inspired me .👍
That's awesome, man! Awesome! :)
Does all tanks needs a filter and co2 or there is a way to keep them crystal clear without a filter?
And if you must use a filter, which will be suitable for a small 1-2 gallon tank?
Thank you
Incredible. What lens was this shot on?
gorgeous
beautiful!
It would be nice to see a "live" aquascape session, with you talking about the setups.
+Lucas Goodding i will be doing a presentation and demonstration in jacksonville florida in may, and planning to do something for the greater houston aquarium club in houston texas sometime this year.
Will it be on youtube?
yes
+Glass Canvas Aquascape that is going to be cool
It turned out very nicely. How did u make the algae on the rocks?
amazing as always!
Hey. That's totally awesome. Could you tell me what's the hard scape type and rocks
thanks! its spiderwood and seiryu stone
Soooooo beautiful...👌
such an awesome scape.. i really would like to try one for myself.. Can you please make a shopping list for me?
facebook.com/hiep.hong.35 add me on facebook so we can have a better platform to talk, I'd be happy to help
WoooWhat plants did you use?
I love the way algae sit on your stones and really like to make one like that. Can you hint me how to get it on my stone :) ???
Well done Hiep ~
wow!! awesome~ one question!! what kind of plants in this tank??
Hi man. I was wondering what plants are in this tank? Thanks!!!
I love this, I am about to attempt my fist aquascaped tank. So far I have a tank, filter, led light, sand, rocks and driftwood. I am doing my research but most videos don't list the names of the powder they lay before the substrate, would you mind telling me what you use underneath your substrate? thank you in advance.

Thank you for the clarification, I appreciate you taking the time to explain each one for me
can you tell me all the plants do you use in tank ? thx :)
What plants did you use in this aquarium?
Here's a thought....how about adding captions in the step-by-step in the STEP-BY-STEP VIDEO...sheeesh...great work btw....
Where do you get all of the products? I'm looking for a way to start this on a very small scale at first, like just a couple desktop aquascapes for my desk at work.
everything here I was able to buy locally at my fish stores, the only things that you might have a hard time finding are the ADA additives, you can get them online
What was that powder stuff you sprinkled at the beginning?
+4444333220 ADA substrate additives. ADA bacter100, ADA tourmaline BC, and ADA Clear super
Beautiful. No CO2 right?
what kind of filter is used, coz I don't see any.... also what is the source of air supply for the shrimps and fish....
I used the tiny azoo palm HOB filter, did not use any air bubble or air supply, just water circulation from the filter
which lens you used for macros on shrimp?
can I know what type of the plant was used? Someone please list it
Which plants are in this Fishtank? :)
Великолепно!!! Ausgezeichnet!!!
Great nano tank, it grew in well. How often do you do water changes?
+jeremiemcd thanks! I did water changes about once a week
+Glass Canvas Aquascape do you do 50% , I'm still trying to find my balance in my ada 60f , still getting algae here and there.
+jeremiemcd i did much bigger changes, more like 80%
all i need to know now is do i need a co2 tank for this kinda setup...and also how big of a co2 system??
I recommend using CO2 in any setup, it can benefit any plant. for layouts using only epiphytic plants such as java fern and anubias, CO2 is not mandatory but will still improve the health and speed of growth
If 5 months passed, would the wood on the top have another colour? Like lighter or something? Because it isn't in the water?
Never mind, didn't finish the vid :')
Hey glass Canvas i'm fan of tour aquascaping Channel (i'm french ) but i don't understand why this is not the same aquarium at the end but it is wonderful but this not the same tank there isn't the plants plants on the right like the layout of the rock and the plants on the left but i love what you do 😍
+GoPro & coline its the same tank, over the course of 9 weeks i had decided to make some changes
okay
Mind if I ask what Substrate and Plants you used and where you got the Wood/Rocks?
I bought the wood and rocks from my local fish shop. The substrate is ADA amazonia aquasoil. plants used were various bucephalandra species, anubias, cryptocorine lucens, narrow leaf java fern, and monte carlo
Glass Canvas Aquascape, Thank you 😊
Or should I say "Tank You" xD
whats the colored powder you sprinkled under the rocks? whats it do?
The powders used are 3 products made by ADA. Bacter100 is a mixture of over 100 types of beneficial bacteria for the aquarium environment, the black powder is called "clear super" and is just crushed carbon to help keep water clarity. And the grey powder is tourmaline BC, its just a powder tourmaline that is supposedly beneficial for the bacteria and plant roots. all three of these products are supposed to help provide a more optimum aquarium envrionment for the bacteria and substrate, but are not absolutely necessary for a successful aquascape.
Glass Canvas Aquascape, how much do those usually cost?
What lighting/ filtering, frequency of water change and how long the lighting period was it? Please answer👏
upload more man, you left your 5k subscriber hanging
what about water circulation?? where u put in??
just a small palm HOB filter, I dont include it in the video because it is unsightly
Without co2 and filter?
What's the powder you are putting in the tank?
+trevor payne ADA substrate additives. ADA bacter100, ADA tourmaline BC, and ADA Clear super
nice
How do you fertilize all your tanks?
I've been using the PPS pro method, but lately I have been using a product called Thrive by NilocG
where did you get the white foggy background?
I got it at home depot in the window section, its window privacy film
do i need filtration for a 20x20 nano planted? and what can you say about low tech tanks?
btw, i am a total beginner so i can't tell if i have enough lighting or not.. hope you reply :D

you have awesome tanks btw Love it!!

Thank you so much for answering my questions man :D
This tank flourished without filter or CO2? Nice
filter was used, I remove the equipment for the video for presentation purposes
Still Amazing...
thank you!
Do you use RO water with a mineral additive? Or a mix half RO/tap.
+Nathan Keck I actually just use tap water
+Glass Canvas Aquascape what's your Kh in your tap? I have really hard and really alkaline water.
+Glass Canvas Aquascape by the way
The cherries look killer!
+Nathan Keck my water is very hard and ph around 7.8, i dont know exactly the kh value
that's wonderfull, what type of rock and wood do you use ?
thank you =) this is seiryu stone and spiderwood
Thank you for your quick answer lol, isn't it dangerous for shrimp ? because it's a calcareous material?
I'm not sure that "dangerous" would be the word to use. People do not reccomend seiryu for shrimp tanks because it raises water hardness and it is said that can cause molting issues for shrimps. Being responsible with water changes keeps the hardness pretty consistent and in my experience doesn't allow the water hardness to rise to less-than-ideal levels.

Thank you for having cleared this subject and good luck for your channel I'd like to see more video's of aquascaping with nano cube's made by you ;)
Hey!
Great tank man! Need to ask you, how many liters of Soil have you used in this scape?
it was a small tank, i would guess around 2 liters of soil
No co2?
What lens was this shot on?
I clicked because I want to do a 60 l aquarium and then saw my name in the title and I don't regret it
What type of fish is that?
what is he doing at 2:57?
I'm new in aquascaping! thanks and great video
+Rainer Pramudi I am spraying water to moisten the substrate for planting
+Glass Canvas Aquascape so u are just using normal water (tap water)?
yes its just normal water
+Glass Canvas Aquascape I see, thanks for the quick guide!
+1 subscriber, I will be waiting for your next video :)
What type of filter do you use? HOB?
yes a tiny HOB, but not shown in the video as to not distract from the layout itself
hi man. great tank. can u give the name of fishs ? i'm looking for fishs that i can add to my nano tanks. thx
they are Chili Rasbora (boraras brigitae)
thx for this quick answer.
I have another question. How many Chili Rasbora and red cherry can i have in a 20l (around 5gal) ? thx man
I would put about 7 chili rasboras and you can house up to 50+ shrimps in a small tank no problem
OK ! Thx again.
what is the photo period used .. interval ..
7 hours daily
could i make this with an orion aqua wave 25
I dont see why not. maybe upgrade to a better light though, im not sure how bright the light is for that tank
Yeah i was wondering abaut that too could you tell me minimum lightning req for theese plants?
No filter?
Why was it named "Amelia"?
Plant list please...
Hi, how many time
no co2, no filter??
What is the lighting? and tank link please
I used a fluval power compact hang on light for the tank, in the video i used an LED light hanging from above to get more brightness for the video.
I dont have a link to the tank, it was unbranded from a local shop
+Glass Canvas Aquascape thanks!!
Where do you get the background?
+Morgan Rose-Fleming I got it at home depot in the windows section
+Glass Canvas Aquascape thanks!
+Glass Canvas Aquascape Do you remember the specific brand haha? I have a one that's a Gila frost and one that is an Artscape etched glass. Thanks again!
sorry I dont remember, there is one brand where it is very soft and feels like just static cling, and there is a much more hard brand that is adhesive based, the adhesive based one is much much better, i think it came in a long purple box
anyone else thrown for a loop when LA Beast music played at the start?
is it needed to change the water?
yes, once a week
it is a 1ftx 1ft tank?
yes it is
what about the oxygen ?
What is the size of this tank???
are u serious? its in the title lol
Whats fish name?
if need c02?
do you install any co2 maker?
