55 Gallon Aquascape FULL SETUP
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 авг 2020
- I couldn't wait to get started scaping this 55 gallon tank. I gave it quite a bit of thought - especially with the plants I wanted. Most things arrived on the same day. Some plants arrived later. I still want to add CO2, but I haven't managed to get a cannister as yet. Anyway, I thought it would be nice to share my first attempt at aquascaping on a larger scale with you.
Thanks for watching.

Incredible tank and the kuhli loaches made my heart happy...they are such cheerful, quirky little guys
Beautifully done. I wish my 55 looked like this.
Very methodical and a pro video as usual! Congratulations!The scenery is just beautiful
Beautiful set up!
Nicely done and professional.
Beautiful Aquascape👏👏😊👍 Love it
Nice work!
Beautiful makes me want a 55 gallon
I wish you do another update on this tank .. heavily planted , awesome 👍👍
Commented here before, but I’ll comment again. Do you have a full list of all of the plants that you used? I’d love to know everything in the tank so I could get a good idea on what to get!
Awesome! Looking to set up something similar. How many bags of the soil did you need
Coolest planted community tank I’ve seen hands down, I’m trying to do something like this, what all breeds/species of fish do you have in there?
nice snail farm.
Incredible tank!! Hard to believe no co2 - looks amazing
Thank you so much. Really appreciate the kind words. It's been my pride on joy - right by side as I'm typing this. OH NO... I've just felt the all too familiar itch to scape another tank!
@@skootsmcbeeten super jealous! I just got a 55 and looking at the size of it I'm realizing the sheer amount of plants I'm going to need. How many tropica cups did you get to start? I feel like I'm going to need to spend more money on plants than I did on the tank
where did you source your driftwood? those larger pieces are hard to come by!
I wonder how Discus fish would look in there being that they are my favorite?
Is that a standard 55 or... looks deep and not so long.
Nice! What light did you use bro?!
I use 2 NICREW Planted LED Aquarium Light, 24/7 Automated Aquarium Lights. I have smaller version on a nano tank that doesn't do the 24 thing, so I have to have it on a timer. This... I just set it and forget it and they're relatively inexpensive.
Do you have a filter, heater ? Sorry totally new to this and trying to get my tank set up. Thanks
I do ineed. The filter is a ADA Super Jet Filter ES-1200. Very expensive for what is is - paying for the name there I think. In hindsight, I might have opted for a cheaper alternative that does just as good a job... though it is very pretty.
and an inline heater that heats the water as it travels from the tank to the filter.
Need assasin snail!
I know this is a little late, but do you have a way of sourcing your driftwood? I’d love to get some pieces like that!
Firstly, I'm sorry for my late reply to this. I've been super busy, but still - I'm sorry about that.
I fell lucky with the two large pieces of driftwood. I'm sure I'm far from being alone in ordering it online and having a tiny piece delivered. I travelled to 4 different aquarium stores, even trying a couple of stores that catered to reptiles and amphibians... until trying my most local (and smallest) aquarium store. Thinking they would never have really large pieces in stock. I walk in and RIGHT THERE in front of my eyes on the floor were these. I nearly tripped over getting to the store owner to ask if they were already sold. "No, not sold. I was going to cut them into smaller pieces because no one wants them that big." She said. "I MUST HAVE THEM!" I replied.
If I had to give advice, it would be either; go to as many stores as you can to find decently large pieces OR contact a retailer that specialises in aqua-scapes (like Aquarium Gardens in the UK) and ask them if they have/if they could source you some really good pieces of driftwood. If they're decent at what they do, they'll be happy to help.
*looks at the wall of text I have just typed out*
Oh dear, sorry about that haha. Hope it helped in some way.
Thank you - Skoots
@@skootsmcbeeten thanks so much man! I’ve been looking online for ages and they’re all selling super small pieces, so maybe l have to head to a few stores around me! This video honestly inspired me to do my tank renovations and I’m super excited to see how it turns out!
Looks like I can’t get that volcano mineral in the US!?
crushed lava rock
How do I do this 😭
how big is your aquarium
100cm x 50cm x 50cm. 55 gallons.
I now have a 150 gallon tank in that spot though.
You should have completed your hardscape before planting!!!
Isnt this way too much substrate?
2:47 thats what she said? :O
Bah hahahahaha!
Do you realize you are standing right in front of the camera most of the time. Better to film at an angle so you do not always block the view. Check out other videos
Thanks for the input. Unfortunately for me, I'm not lucky enough to have a dedicated 'tank room' or even room at all that has plenty of space to position cameras as and where I'd like to. In this relatively cramped room I had to do what I could with the options available to me right now. This was my only, and therefore, best option.
Hey, it is a good suggestion, though maybe a bit tactless- and your answer really made me appreciate your efforts even more. Thanks for the video! It's maybe not as polished as others, but the tank is gorgeous and I deeply appreciate the shared knowledge. Peace and happy tanks, my friend!
autofocus is horrible
