I am no joke soooo happy you're getting back into planted tanks!! I just recently entered the hobby myself and I literally crave aquarium content now :) Such a lovely video and tank!!! Any plans for shrimp or fish?
I have loved having planted aquariums, and that's how I got into houseplants. I learned that I don't like a lot of fuss and maintenance, so now I have a 40 breeder with just a bunch of easy to grow things that don't need CO2 (bolbitis, anubias, swords, crypts) along with several pothos, a monstera deliciosa, and a peace lily growing out the back. Water stays clean!
When I first saw your videos months ago, it really got me into houseplants. My collection is still pretty small but I am really enjoying it. I also recently started my aquarium, also inspired by you. The only plant that I have in there is pothos 😅. Hopefully I can so something like this in the future.
It’s nice to see someone my age also being interested in planted aquariums. I always felt like the community were all old biologists and nobody else my age was really into it. So glad I came across this video super interesting and relaxing to watch! Inspired me to maybe have my own planted aquarium
You actually inspired me to get more into planted aquariums from your setup with the aquariums on the shelves in your old place when I found you on tiktok earlier this year. I also just got around to setting up a walstad style 3 gallon bowl last week after seeing that planted bowl TikTok you posted a while ago. Planted tanks actually seemed really intimidating before but your videos made me really want to try them. Really enjoy your content.
sooo excited you're getting back into aquariums! i had a very basic one a year ago, but loved watching my dad create his 50 gallon tank when I was young. i think it's time to bring mine back. this video will be great guidance!
Oh I'd love to make a planted aquarium with a large peace lilly I have so I totally appreciate seeing these tutorials!! Where did you purchase you're tissue culture plants through ?
It's pretty different but I love to make bioactive vivariums its way easier then aquariums in my experience. Aquariums are also very fun and it makes me so happy seeing the animals enjoying there habitat. It's fun to make too and it's going shopping for fish is also pretty fun. So what I'm trying to say is please make the aquarium and don't give up if it goes bad.
@@plantseveryinch9024 I think it's more expensive making an aquarium and taking care of the water can be hard. And changing it. Depending on the plants you want you may need CO2. You need really big tanks and one problem with the water that you don't spot in time can make your aquarium die. I think vivariums also kinda hard. You may get mites if you don't quarantine and you pet reptile could try to eat your plants. If you don't put a pet its a terrarium. I think paludrium and ripariums look the best but I never made one so your need to do more research on those and on all these enclosure so you know what your doing.
I just love this and you! Your videos have inspired me to expand my green thumb from house plants/gardening to terrariums and aquariums. Thank you so much for sharing!
I also started with planted tanks! Definitely a good segway from aquascaping to house plants. You learn a lot about one that can be applied to the other. :)
Wow. That turned out so beautiful!! I probably won’t ever do aquarium plants. But I love what you did and loved the video! I’d be happy to see more!! I’ll live vicariously through you 😂
I remembered your note about using paper towels to glue rocks together when making my terrarium yesterday! I glued wood and rocks together for my hard scape and then cultured Christmas moss. I love the idea of combining aquatic and terrestrial plants in terrariums. Planning on adding selaginella and oak leaf ficus 😀
Omg this is so beautiful! Thanks for the tips I’m upgrading my fishs tank to a bigger tank this weekend and I want to put a bunch of pretty plants in it
paused at 2:11 because I just want to point out and say that you are sooooo creative and just ashadunadhhadhadwaaaaaaaahhh youre so great and wonderful and i just love you and chris and i dont think i will ever ever eveerrr get tired of you huhu
benjiii thank you for this! i wanted to get started on aquariums next year so im trying to do as much research as i can. i hope you continue to share more aquariums w us in the future :) !!
I have no desire to build an aquarium. Standing water kind of freaks me out. I'm just here because I like to hear Benji talk. His voice is very soothing.
Love your channel Benji. :) I do house plants as well and I edit/film for a channel named Aquarium Co-Op.. and I’m Vietnamese lol. Good to see the diversity of the channel 🌱🪴🐠
I just discovered your channel and love all your videos. Thank you for posting this I'm super inspired! Have you ever tried growing lotus in an aquarium or have any tips??
this is awesome! i have a couple of planted fishtanks but it’s such an expensive hobby where i live. can you make a tutorial on how to use the osmocote? do you just use it like you would use the fancy fertile substrate?
I would love to see your take on paludariums and setups that are both plant and aquarium. I tried cigarette filter and it was a big fail, I think it depends on what they are made from. I think mine were more of a plastic then a natural fibre like cotton or wood pulp.
It's so fun to watch you design and find ways to put it all together! If you put fish and some other aquarium animals in the tank, how would you control algae? I suppose CO2 wouldn't be an option as it'll damage fish and other animals?
There is a good channel about fishtanks with a great comunity, Fish for thought and they have kind of a discord for discussing and sharing planted aquariums.
Wow, you have a great creative eye for sure! Looks really good, and the plants look super cute too. Oh, now you need some fish and other creatures inside too!
Hello! I am new here and absolutely loved this video. Your tank is fantastic! I am a plant lover that is a fish nerd and have 36 planted tanks in my fish room 😳 Do you just keep the plants or do you add fish?
i loved mine but i just didn’t have the time to keep changing the water so the water got so orange and it died 😭😭 but a planted aquarium is one of my goals for when i do have the time for it 🙏🏼

Nature aquarium is the best! He is always helpful and fun to discus plants and other projects. Great job!

OMG I love the way you create the layouts with the rocks and driftwood before you plant, you're so creative 🥺
I really appreciate seeing how energetic and passionate when you talk about your plants
so glad for watching this, it's made my day :)

Such a cool video. It’s so fascinating to watch and see the aquarium come together!
I love aquascapes !!! This came out beautiful!
Oh I'd love to make a planted aquarium with a large peace lilly I have so I totally appreciate seeing these tutorials!! Where did you purchase you're tissue culture plants through ?
i purchased most of them from my local aquarium store, but i provided links in the description if you want to buy them online

Very cool! I kinda want to make a fishbowl one now. 😍

Great video. Also I would love to watch how well is doing the previous acuarium you made a video of :)
Very interesting!
Love your channel Benji. :) I do house plants as well and I edit/film for a channel named Aquarium Co-Op.. and I’m Vietnamese lol. Good to see the diversity of the channel 🌱🪴🐠
Amaizing
Some of your background music reminds me of Stardew Valley and it makes me feel happy & calm :')
beautiful
the way benji said i dont smoke is sooo cute 😭
I just discovered your channel and love all your videos. Thank you for posting this I'm super inspired! Have you ever tried growing lotus in an aquarium or have any tips??
this is awesome! i have a couple of planted fishtanks but it’s such an expensive hobby where i live. can you make a tutorial on how to use the osmocote? do you just use it like you would use the fancy fertile substrate?
Can you do a video explaining how you set up your planted tanks and sustain the plant life so well?
I would love to see your take on paludariums and setups that are both plant and aquarium.
I tried cigarette filter and it was a big fail, I think it depends on what they are made from. I think mine were more of a plastic then a natural fibre like cotton or wood pulp.
Wow this is beautiful. I want to live here :(
Chefs kiss
Where do you get the 🌱
I love ur video 💚
So beautiful❤ i like it👍❤❤❤
I love it I think it's become more amazing if it has a fish and cute turtle💚
Way to small for a turtle, but it is a ten gallon so you could get some really small schooling fish like chili rasboras.
You inspired me to run to my basement and bring my aquarium back to life
It's so fun to watch you design and find ways to put it all together! If you put fish and some other aquarium animals in the tank, how would you control algae? I suppose CO2 wouldn't be an option as it'll damage fish and other animals?
WOW. keep going
who needs forests when you have benji's house?
HI I luv ur channel its so cute but I was wondering if you could do a video on where you get all your moss. Thank you!
“I never knew her name was Vivienne” omg I’m dying she’s so cute 😭
There is a good channel about fishtanks with a great comunity, Fish for thought and they have kind of a discord for discussing and sharing planted aquariums.
Yes please
I love aquariums there so cute and you can add fish I really like koi fish and those chubby ones am talking to much also I’m gonna make one
Hey, I was wondering what that table you used to keep you aquarium is.
Wow, you have a great creative eye for sure! Looks really good, and the plants look super cute too. Oh, now you need some fish and other creatures inside too!
Cycling..
yess something colorful would be so pretty, like cherry shrimp or a betta
@@kittencatten7632 Or chili rasboras, you could get about 15 without it being overstocked
Wonderful but it’s too complicated for me. I want a small bowl with plants in my bedroom. Is that a good idea?
Love all yr plants.
Hello! I am new here and absolutely loved this video. Your tank is fantastic! I am a plant lover that is a fish nerd and have 36 planted tanks in my fish room 😳 Do you just keep the plants or do you add fish?
Just a tip, pull the moss in half and just pull the jelly off the bottom. Saves much more time
Genial seu canal!
do you have any ideas on where to get aquarium stands in los angeles? i want to move away from my ikea shelf lol
I would love to know more about your filter and CO2. Everything I have ever read on Monty Carlo says you really need co2
ı love aquariums too
could you do a video on tips for beginners? i always wanted to get into planted aquariums but it seems kind of intimidating.
can you do a video on a low cost planted tank? i want to do one but not sure what plants and cycling the tank confuses me too 😭
i loved mine but i just didn’t have the time to keep changing the water so the water got so orange and it died 😭😭 but a planted aquarium is one of my goals for when i do have the time for it 🙏🏼
