    I really loved the firt moss scape... in this new version, the gsp between the rocks is perhaps a bit too wide, so the composition doesn't follow the "golden cut". But I love the stones themselves and the mixture of the different rotalas looks amazing. Great fishchoice, too, the scarlet badis are so cute ❤ I think the second version is even better than the first one

  • @jackasscou

    Man... I truly love your work ! For me the hardscape of the last one looked better, but the planting and the stocking of this one made me prefer this new version ! By the way the cinematic shots at the end are beautiful, some macro shot are really impressive : it's like there is no glass between your lens and inside the tank !

  • @schen2250

    I love these moss formations, they remind me a lot of karst mountains! I do prefer the layout of the previous scape - the deep shadow in the midground and the inward tilt of the right rock formation gave a lot of depth to the aquascape and made it seem more dramatic. However the clean look of the current scape is also beautiful and highlights the stone.

    Hi MJ, I really like your new scape because you mixed up three different mosses together to create what I think is naturally chaotic and I love that they grow in the way you showed us.
    I am a big lover of ricardia moss but would never able to grow them in clumps rather in long strings and less dense even in a co2 tank with Chihiros A series light.
    Really hope that if you could share how you manage them in terms of any special trimming or care for them?
    Thank you for always creating new content to inspire us!

    This is a tough one, but I agree with you MJ. The first one's composition is a bit more interesting so that is my favorite. But I really like this one too! The reds in the back are super cool and I kind of like how the moss hasn't overtaken the lavarock on the left side. Both are beautiful!

    many things need clarification:
    1- for moss in general all types, can spread in tank and make mess and attached in everything specifically plants which can hurt it?
    2- how to prevent dropping slop soil , as noticed you don't add plastic barriers?
    3- you have recorded video you advised strongly for dark start, but you do reverse?
    4- you remineralized ro water with apt sky which rich in elements to reach around 120 ppm, so what is necessity of using liquid fertilizer ? or should minimize using of liquid?
    5- you declared in previous videos you advice using all in one fertilizer, so shall using extra seperate potassium dosing?
    6- I seen in hi tech tanks cardina shrimp (e.g. red crystal) and as known these tank need big water change weekly say 50%, so is cardina shrimp tolerate this big water change?
    7- for tropica substrate the mentioned the upper layer gravel not soil , may be to prevent leaching in water , could you clarify it?
    thanks

    • @MJAquascaping
      @MJAquascaping  Месяц назад +2

      1. Yes all moss types can spread and make a mess, especially when you trim them. That's why I prefer to use mosses that grow very slowly.
      2. In this scape the slope is held in place by all the plant roots, and there is no need for plastic barriers.
      3. I still recommend the dark start method! I don't do it myself because it takes a few weeks, and I'm already planning my scapes weeks in advance.
      4. APT Sky and liquid fertilizer are two different things. APT Sky is used to prepare RO water and adds mostly calcium and magnesium.
      5. For most people an All In One fert is the best option. But if you want to boost the colours of your red plants a ''lean dosing method'' with potassium and micro nutrients can be very beneficial.
      6. I think the more people breed these shrimp the easier they become to keep. In the past you could only keep caridina on RO with low tds and ADA Amazonia substrate. Now I see people selling cardinia shrimp that have been bred on tap water... so yeah I think Caridina shrimp can tolerate big water changes, but it depends where you get them.
      7. Yeah correct, for this type of substrate a cap with sand or gravel is recommended, but I've been using it with soil for a while now and without any issues.

    Though, I'd take the Otos out since the sharp edges of lava rocks might harm their barbels.
    I've had Buces melt soon after planting also recently but am convinced that I bought infected Anubias alongside with them. Another idea for melting, and I am quessing here, is too much nutrients in the water column during the initial stages. Would like to hear you guys commenting on this issue.

    I feel the new one has better plant selection but worse hardscape composition? The left lavarock feels too dominant, my instinct would have been to try to make the right one taller (so you'd have fat and short on the left vs tall and skinny on the right). I don't know if this would've been the right choice? All in all, both have their charms, and the rasboras are really cute :)

    Love both of them! But the second looks a bit "good kid followng the rules" to me, misses something spicy. I think the middle path is too straight, if the rocks had been positioned one a bit more to the back than the other, it could have given a more tortuous path. Just my opinion of course! Your work is amazing as always
