I'm loving already this new series and thanks a lot for showing us all the process, even the disassembly. That beautiful centurion wood looks like a vine (in case that you are specially interested in knowing what type of wood is that). Congrats from Valencia, Spain
So excited for this! Personally, I’m curious to see how the wood would look with the other end placed on the floor of the tank instead. However you decide I’m looking forward to seeing how this one will turn out! Love your content btw keep up the good work and I hope you are well. Edit: I was already subscribed I guess I didn’t realize it lol
Crazy how quick that year seemed to go, looking forward to this series on the V2 👌🏼 Just mid rescape myself. Half the hardscape out, dreading pulling the plants and catching all the shrimp 🤦🏽♂️😅
Ik denk zelf dat deze bak mislukt is vanwege de lage waterkolom. Co2 vervliegt dan heel snel, ook vanwege de stroming die ook nog eens flink aanwezig is.
Hey there. Few quick questions. The rocks covered in BB algae.. Did you clean them and reuse them or is it beter not to reuse them? And let's say they are covered in Bb Algae but want to clean them up, can you do that outside the aquarium and if so, how to do it safely? And I never hear you talking about H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) in low dosage (syringe or spray bottle) whereas I've had some great results with this to kill of BB Algae. Why is that?
I basically placed the rocks outside in the sun, so the algae is all dried up and pretty much dead. With a little scrub they should be good to reuse again! If you want to take the rocks out and kill bba fast I would just place the rocks in a bucket with some bleach, and then scrub them clean. I've used H202 in the past, and sometimes I still use it. It does work well, but I just prefer liquid carbon.
@@MJAquascaping So grateful for your answer. 🙏 If you don't mind my getting further into the matter? How do you determine if a rock cleaned with bleach is aquarium safe? Is a high pressure cleaner an option? To get into the crevasses? A friend of mine cleans his wood this way whenever he notices algae (rainwater though). But will this throw off the balance? Kill beneficial bacteria? In other words, how much of the balance depends on beneficial bacteria living on wood and rock?
Don’t give up on co2! Maybe just try to come up with a more efficient way of getting it around the tank before it gasses off. Probably using 1 or 2 diffusers so the plants can intake via direct leaf-to-bubble contact?
Super excited to see what you come up with although It’s still sad to see the bag shallow being taken apart😢 what do you do with the substrate when you take a tank down?
Seeing the hardscape items you received, I can’t wait to see the layouts you play around with and what you finally decide! Definitely take your time on this, it’s so much more rewarding that way.
Dag Mark, Prachtig stuk hout is dat! Dit gaat de 'Eye catcher' worden. Persoonlijk zou ik voor de rest van het ontwerp 'less is more' toepassen. Ik kan niet wachten om het totaal beeld te zien, heel veel succes! ;-)
YES!!! Been waiting for this!!!! And we're going 'Above the Rim!!' Super Exciting! You inspired me to get my own 'Big Shallow', though mine is only 95 Liters, it's Huge for me (my other shallow is 11.35 Liters) Definitely have the log raise out of the water toward the shelf for symmetry.
Can't wait to see it come together. I would consider if you put the wood so it goes out of the other side how likely are you to knock it or catch it as you walk by it? Toward the book case it might be more protected from accidents. Just a thought.
looks sickkkk, I'm excited to see the next scape. Personally, I think the best composition is towards the front because its more striking to the eye and it creates a lot depth to have the big piece at the front and then smaller ones at the back as I'm sure you know bc ur a great aquascaper but yeah just giving my opinion :)
hello congratulations for the excellent quality videos, but answer me one thing, how do you siphon in the planted aquarium? if you do. thank you in advance for the answer.
I subscribed around the time you set up the big shallow. My how time flies. One piece of advice for you and everyone reading, BBA does not like sunlight. Now that the rocks are out of the tank, put them outside in direct light for a couple days and it will all disappear. It would be a shame to lose such magnificent rocks/stones. Looking forward to the upcoming videos. My vote is no CO2, but do what makes you happy/satisfied. Take care.
Awesome 👏🏻 I do remember that trip you made there . I would put the wood the other way to fill the empty space of the wall. With your expertise you will figure it out. Update on you nephews tank? Lol
Yep I think the other way is better indeed. Nephews tank is doing good! I was actually there last weekend, floating plants had completely covered the surface 😅 tank is algae free though!
Re-scaping is always exciting.. Have you considered making an entry into the IAPLC next year?? You could take a few weeks to plan and create some badass hardscape using smaller woods and stones to create a complete hardscape along with the centurion beauty!!
Haven't seen the whole video but hope you'll have emersed growth this time. Also regarding moving the fishes, when I rescape I move the fauna to another tank ahead of time, maybe a week or two before I actually take down the tank.
You do beautiful work, and I learn a lot from you. Does fuzzy white fungus grow on your new wood too? How to deal with this white fungus? Please have the wood coming out of the right side of your tank. And the dual CO2 diffusor idea provided by other commenters is worth considering.
I'm going to submerge the wood this week to see what will happen with it. The white fungus on new wood will go away by itself, you can manually remove it or add some otocinclus they will eat it
Im glad WIO sponsored the hardscape. Great stuff… remember I joked with you about extra weight charges for rocks in your baggage when you came back from your previous visit. You are off to a great start. You sparked my interest when you said you may not use CO2. Hmmmmm… Looking forward to updates. 🏄🏼♂️
Defenitly the way you have it now to create balance in the room. You go from high to low starting with your shelves. I would rest it a little more to the right supported with stones or whatever. But you should ofcourse do what you like best. One thing is for sure it's a sick piece of wood =D
Goede middag. I have a difficulty To stop à scape Remove thé stone. Wood.etc....😱 I would like To have for long time. Ps: i product some plants Out of the water: ludwigia super red. R.h.ra. Monte carlo. Lobellia cardinalis... I am small but i ll go for more big product... Sorry for my bad english 🙄 I like your Channel. I préfer To have many small tank..👌👍🏻
When u said no co2 on the next scape i was a bit disappointed but also suggesting you just forget the shallow part and invest in a regular 120p think of it. Also do u basically say maintaining co2 level in a 120F is hard ?
I'm sure it will be fine, but I don't think I will feel comfortable with the weight of a full 120p on my floor. Maintaining co2 level in a 120F is not really hard, you just need to add a lot of CO2 because you lose it quite quickly.
@@MJAquascaping i live in an apartment. With some calculations and talks to house owner, i managed to make the 120P happen just had to be in a different corner and next to a supporting structural beam ( i am an engineer ) Reason am voting for it is that we would love to see a competition sized scape come out from your own hands 🤘🏼
Your weight training came in useful in getting those heavy rocks out. I seem to be in the minority so far, but I like the wood where you placed it. I think if it is at the other end, it will leave a big void in the middle between the shelf unit and the wood.
You're the best youtuber for realistic aquascaping. I love greenaqua,but honestly,90% of the time, it doesnt seem realistic for most hobbyists to follow what and how they do things. Not sure how to explain it.
@@skeletoncreek6446 My though was the maintenance. they always have measurement on water parameters and kept controlling it. well, most hobbyist get busy with life and autopiloted their tank🤣 true nature style!
@@skeletoncreek6446 what greenaqua does seems not easily doable for beginners. Mj makes things seem easier and simpler and has full disclosure. I completely understand what greenaqua does and how they do it and their scapes are top shelf,what everyone should strive for..but I feel that they hide all the complications that comes with aquascaping.. causing frustration to the average scaper. "It looks so easy when the guys on greenaqua did it,why am I having so many issues!"

I didn't know this tank have been updated.....catching up now.
Can't wait to see part 2 and etc. Glad I waited. lol
Great video. Great quality
Can’t wait for next step.👍🏻👏🏻
Me neither!!!
The way your cat looked away like..”I didnt make this mess”
Great video! Practical question, what do you do with the substrate and gravel since you live in an apartment?
I'm loving already this new series and thanks a lot for showing us all the process, even the disassembly. That beautiful centurion wood looks like a vine (in case that you are specially interested in knowing what type of wood is that). Congrats from Valencia, Spain
Mooie bakken heb je en steeds een prima uitleg. Ik heb zelf een kubusbak van 70x70x70 cm.
Very nice sponsor you have mate. I'm super excited to see the layout.
Sick haircut. Loved this scape though man.
Congratulations, how many cm is the aquarium tall?
So excited for this! Personally, I’m curious to see how the wood would look with the other end placed on the floor of the tank instead. However you decide I’m looking forward to seeing how this one will turn out!
Love your content btw keep up the good work and I hope you are well.
Edit: I was already subscribed I guess I didn’t realize it lol
I will give that a try as well!
I definitely can't wait to see the end result I'm super excited. And maybe the other side away from the shelf? Either way I'm jealous!!!!
That's what my gf said as well, so I guess it's going to the other side 😁
Can't Wait MJ!!!
Nice tank! Living in a apartment it is really a problem for the aquarists 😅
It really is!
Hi MJ - could please the exact dimension of this great tank (including glass thickness)? I want to get one custom made. Thanks!
hey! it's 120cm long 50cm wide and 30cm tall. Glass thickness is 10mm (i think)
This series is going to be great! I'll be taking notes.
Crazy how quick that year seemed to go, looking forward to this series on the V2 👌🏼
Just mid rescape myself. Half the hardscape out, dreading pulling the plants and catching all the shrimp 🤦🏽♂️😅
Catching the shrimp is the worst 😰

im so excited for this scape,it does suck when you take it down, you feel regretful but it is so rewarding
what is the name of the light used in your scape
Looks super exciting! A rescape can be a pain, but is generally worth it. Very keen to see how it turns out
Don’t give up on co2! Maybe just try to come up with a more efficient way of getting it around the tank before it gasses off. Probably using 1 or 2 diffusers so the plants can intake via direct leaf-to-bubble contact?
Exciting 😁
I like it high towards the shelf like you have it.
Excited for this one
Super excited to see what you come up with although It’s still sad to see the bag shallow being taken apart😢 what do you do with the substrate when you take a tank down?
That's going to be a awesome rebuild!! Can't wait to see the final product!!
sick hardscape!
I am very excited!! nice!
Nice Work! Lookong forward to the next video :) The shelf with the nano tanks in the backround is great! where can I get this shelf?
Thanks! This is where I bought the shelf www.leenbakker.nl/kasten/wandkasten/wandmeubel-kyan-zwart-naturel-180x120x40-cm
Good Luck ✌️
Thanks ✌
Love it so far!

Let's see if I can make it anywhere near as good as your shallow 😎
Can't wait to see what you'll build with this. That is a seriously impressive piece of wood. They did you a solid!
Super excited to see the progress with this one!
Dag Mark, Prachtig stuk hout is dat! Dit gaat de 'Eye catcher' worden. Persoonlijk zou ik voor de rest van het ontwerp 'less is more' toepassen. Ik kan niet wachten om het totaal beeld te zien, heel veel succes! ;-)
I’m really looking forward to this build 🤩👍🌱
Looks like you need another towel and and cup as well 😄
Yes I do! 😂
I think the wood should hang out away from the shelf! Excited for V2
OOOO how exciting I cant wait for part 2 :)

Can't wait for the new scape to come to life! I think the wood facing the right side of the wall is cool.
Can’t wait 😀😀
Can’t wait to see what you build next
Theres nothing more exciting than a blank canvas.
Nice new aquascape 👍🏻
I like the wood on the left side of the tank. It could help hide the cord to the light...
Excellent
Cant wait for the update!
Can't wait to see it come together. I would consider if you put the wood so it goes out of the other side how likely are you to knock it or catch it as you walk by it? Toward the book case it might be more protected from accidents. Just a thought.

Have you considered making an entry into the IAPLC next year??
You could take a few weeks to plan and create some badass hardscape using smaller woods and stones to create a complete hardscape along with the centurion beauty!!
Hmm nah contests is not really my thing
Filter floss whilst draining the tank method - superb tip, thanks! :)
Looks like a nice project to come. In my opinion it should be to the shelf side ;) cheers
Haven't seen the whole video but hope you'll have emersed growth this time. Also regarding moving the fishes, when I rescape I move the fauna to another tank ahead of time, maybe a week or two before I actually take down the tank.
For CO2 you could consider splitting the CO2 that comes from the bottle and use two diffusors inside the tank :)
Please add co2 though 😅👌
Wow! Very interested to see what you do with such bold stuff. 👍
Towards the tank rack 👍
Looking forward to next episode
I like your wood
mooie tank maat !
I'm not big into wood in a tank. But if you going to use it, turn it to the right.
Good luck with the new setup. 👍
This was my favourite project of yours
Keep up the good work mark💪💪
Always!
Now I want a shallow tank, damn

Today was my birthday can anyone wish Love from Bangladesh
Happy birthday mate!
@@MJAquascaping thx a lot 😇😊
That wood is stunning. I dread to think how much it cost, but i bet it will be worth every penny.
That wood is epic
cant wait to see final result :)
You and me both!
Im enjoying your videos MJ, you're real natural on camera :) Where you from?? cheers
Happy to hear that Diogo! I'm from The Netherlands
Have you tried the big piece upside down as well? Might be cool with those three “roots” going down forming the base..
I'm going to try that as well!

Hahaha yeah I remember you saying that 😅 this was easier though!😎
It would be really cool to see lots of plants growing out of water
Is there any chance to buy this wood in germany? It looks fantastic! Im excited how the hardscape will look when finished.
I'm not sure if WIO has any retailers in Germany
WIO really do be a based company 💯👏

Grest wood!! Maybe use some of the old substrate??
very nice
did u custom order that tank ? or where did you buy it :)
It's a standard tank! This is the 120F from WIO!
Hi, make it like bridge :)
When my tank is finally balanced I sit back and enjoy. When a tank of Mark-Jan is done, he breaks it down to start all over again... 😂
😂
Do you have a day job or is aquascaping full time?
I have a day job!
What kind of wood is this?
Centurion wood!
@@MJAquascaping Really cool looking wood! I like the texture and there are tons of characteristics in it. Looking forward to your new tank!!
were do you buy the bookshelf that stands on the left from the big tank ?
Here www.leenbakker.nl/kasten/wandkasten/wandmeubel-kyan-zwart-naturel-180x120x40-cm
I have this wood.
I wait for start my shop on Line...
I have 500kgs of that !
Goede middag.
I have a difficulty To stop à scape
Remove thé stone. Wood.etc....😱
I would like To have for long time.
Ps: i product some plants
Out of the water: ludwigia super red.

Lobellia cardinalis...
I am small but i ll go for more big product...
