Really tuff choice - both fantastic tanks ! I like my big tanks so would have to choose the 30 gal on that bases. Love the content - very informative George - love the nerdy info as im a bit of a purest 👍 On a side note - how dare you sir upload content with out an update on the discus tank ? Shocking George 😆 Looking forward to the update as RUclips is my only platform to keep up to date 😀
Be great to see you challenge yourself with an Dutch style scape/aquarium. They look fantastic and is definitely an art in its self - learning how the plant grows with each trim and training it into shape ect..ect.. Again looking forward to what you produce 👍
HI George, how can I send you an email. I want to invite you to become one of the judges in an amateur aquascaping contest I am organizing in Saudi Arabia. I will email you also the confirmed judges so far and the contest details. Thanks, Yusuf
George (and anyone else who wants to share), what do you use to clean your hoses? I'm having trouble finding a product that works (for 12/16mm and 16/22mm hoses). Also, blackwater biotope would be very cool...I love the idea of any biotope with "artistic sensibilities". For me. that's part of the essence of aquascaping: recreating a piece of nature in your living area that is both beautiful and peaceful to look at and also constantly teaches us lessons about nature.
Looks brilliant George. Is there a video of when you originally scaped the Styline 85? Can't seem to find one. I like to see how things are planted and spaced. This is one I would love to emulate!
Hi George, I’d like to propose an idea for one of your next projects / video contents: Create an aquascape (with or without plants) for Oscar fishes. 🐟 I guess that would be quite a challenge but certainly an interesting video to watch and follow up. Especially if you manage to create a tank with some plants or if you find any other way to create an "eye-appealing underwater world” that’s not gonna be destroyed by these fishes. Cheers!
Your one pot challenge minimalistic iwagumi was one of your best works in my opinion (if not the best). I would love to see you make something similar to that again. But perhaps this time with some colorful stemplants in the background.
This confused me too. George always plugged Evolution Aqua and rimless tanks, and even helped develop theirs, almost pioneering that way. Now with so many scapers taking that forward, it’s like he’s gone full circle to closed tops whilst saying he still prefers open. To me it seems only because Oasé asked him to :/
@@DesignRobPearce I think he has been pretty open about his position regarding his preferences and has acknowledged that his sponsorship arrangements have an influence. But I believe him when he says he likes what you get from a closed tank as well. It seems his desire to have a discus aquarium and his sponsorship arrangements have come together well (you don't want to find a discus on the floor)
@@ericplunder2744 possibly so. He's been open, in the same way he says he prefers the old styles still yet converted to all Oase close tops. I'd get it if he had one for Discuss, regardless. It's the influence and passion I am talking about to jack in all his old setups so quickly of open tops/out of the water/glassware/Amano/ADA style when he practically pioneered and pushed this way of aquascaping just somehow doesn't feel like the George I've followed for so many years. Nothing wrong with it and big respect for the guy if that's what he wants, and for everything he's done for the hobby. Not the kind of aquscaping methods or principles he's taught and made me love all these years. I'm sure many others will disagree, and that's great!
Have the worst luck with cannisters filters. Had two Oase Biomaster 250, and both started seriously leaking within 2 years :/ - love the concept - but don't trust them anymore.
@@jamie3499 Thx a lot for the tip Jamie, I really appreciate it - I will definitely keep this in mind if I ever go the cannister filter route again. I upgraded my "larger" aquarium to a built in background filter instead.
You are lucky, mine leaked within three months, replaced seal, solved issue for six months, now leaking again, PTFE tape or not. My cheap Chinese filter with handy UV tube has replaced my £200 plus Oase Biomaster. The Chinese filter has had two new taps and a couple of new UV tubes over a ten year period, paying big money doesn't also help when it comes to kit. And, I am not sure about heaters in an external, if the prefilter nearly blocks, circulation is very slow to adequately heat a tank, the heater stat just keeps clicking on and off inside the cannister. Good luck.
@@williammcdowell6257 Sounds pretty horrible indeed. I guess I might try a different brand next time. And totally get the whole heaters issue, but I really like a nice clean tank without visible equipment, which I guess the background filter kinda solves for me as well.
great one, loved the different camera angles and the cut to reference pictures. Doing a dutch scape is something I wanted for a long time, but I don't know if its a good idea for me haha 😂
Hi George! I am Italian, and I have a little difficulty understanding everything you are saying well.... I wanted to know if behind the oase 85 you painted the glass black, or if you simply applied a black matte film.... thanks. I have a styleline 125 with white film on the back, and I am about to purchase another oase 85, so your channel for me is very interesting!
Love the blackwater bitotpe- idea!! Please do go for it!! ....... Dutch style in contrary, is something I never could get myself to like. Super boring (plus I think the bigger one of your 2 shown tanks already looks a bit like Dutch Style although it ist not..)......sorry!! BUT maybe if YOU do it, i can be drawn to it. :-D
Hi George Love your work, new to scaping you inspired me to start scaping.... I've got a small problem with my 60p with snails same as the ones you got in Styleline 85... Need to get rid of it since Its multiplying rapidly and I don't like it at all... Please in need of advice... Thanks
What do you think of under gravel filters? Really like your tanks. Look great. I had a tropical fish store in Liverpool, England. called Aqua Hobby Ltd. Ordered 12 boxes of fish from Grace Aquarium, in Bangkok. Don't know if they are still in business. Hard to find a good supplier that will treat you right. Never used CO2. When I came to U.K. They only had tanks made from angle iron. I had all my tanks made of stainless steel. Cost me a buddle. Keep up the good work. A well-planted tank is worth the effort. Miss those days.
Hey George, interesting video, love the scap in the smallest tank. Do you know if easycarbo or excel can harm Bolbitis and Java fern? Everytimes I put new plants in they go brown. I have co2 and a chihiros light, before I had no co2 and 2 11w lamps on a Lido 200. U just got 2 new bolbitis 4 weeks ago and they are going brown like before.
George will you recommend a magnet glass cleaner that isn't soo difficult to MOVE... some magnets are soo strong it's difficult to move them.. Thank you
Love the job you did on the framed tanks, I would be swayed. Hate heating and evaporation for sure, expensive in our Covid situation for sure Bud. Do a moss and driftwood George, love to see you do one. Got your book finally here in Halifax, Nova Scotia. A deal for the content, excellent job. Hope I can meet you and get it signed some day. Keep on scaping, love your rants. God Bless and Merry Christmas to Emma, the Kids, and you. Cheers from Canada!!! Thank you for your time and passion, a prosperous New Year!
Hello Georges, about shutting off and on the CO2, what's your point about this ? I've seen many different times to shut it off and on around the web. Beautiful tanks btw, nice job. Thanks alot for your videos, keep up the great job. Cheers from Belgium !
Would be nice to have seen ya do the 125L with just the stuff it came with 2x12W lights and no CO2. In my experience carpet and high to middle light plants aint growing without CO2. I know it's possible because i had a 2ft cube tank and cleaned and give it liquid feed religiously and it had nice lush plants and moss. Then on the other hand i had the 35L Dennerle scapers tank with Fluval Plant 3.0 Nano and carpeting plants just did not want to carpet.
Hello, Do you think it would be possible to lower the hight/ thickness of the aquarium Gallerie/lid. They are still very high, but led would make it possible to have super thin galleries (5cm or less) . With transparent too covers it would provide much of the ambiance and esthetic of open tanks but with the advantages of closed ones :) Hope I am not bothering too much with my ideas 🤪
@georgefarmer #georgefarmer I was wondering if you can please, please, please, make a scape with Legos. I have Star Wars sets. Tons of little storm troopers with weapons. My child doesn't play with it but we really want to make a scape that we can make like a fighting scene with plants and something with Legos. Maybe create a new Aquascape called toy scaping?
What is the water hardness in them? If you up the light intensity to high light in the 20 gallon tank, how much fertilizer would you increase to? And loving both tanks!
Hello George , I am sorry for asking here a somehow random question but I do not really know where to reach you. What do you suggest under sand for a low tech amazonian biotope oriented tank? Would you make a combination of different layers or you would just use nutrition tablets? Thank you in advance for your useful feedback
My room temperature is already 35°C. If anything I really don't want heat to be trapped in the tank. *Sigh* Any other ideas how to get lower temperatures?
What is the Oase Styleline 175 Like I have a 3 ft Fluval at the moment looking to down size just got fish in what is the LTR of it and is the heater in the external pump
Hello George the 75 is amazing, so mysterious and atmospheric layout . Would you be able to do that without co2 ? I mean most of the plants are low demanding plants
That's at least based on the sale price at some place called Pond Planet. I really hope Oase starts importing them. It's a way better deal than any of the kits at something like Petco.
Oase: George, we will give you these aquariums to show off George: I will use them and produce good results but I will depreciate and doubt them during my review, ok? Oase:...?
Lovely and informative, thanks George. Is the 20 gallon not a bit undersized to let you make the "street strategy" for a Dutch style tank actually work? Also, surely the lighting is too low for red plants in your smaller tank? The 30 gallon tank has more length and more light, perhaps ideal for a Dutch mini-scape. George, do let us know where you get you big CO2 bottles from and more usefully who you get to fill them. By the way black works really well with green plants, old gardener's trick to paint an ugly wall black and then plant green foliage. In my experience a black background also reduces algae growth in middle and lower tiers of the tank and creates a great aesthetic ref. the fish, and, seems to put jittery fish at greater ease. Much appreciated video and keep talking to the dog, they hardly understand but love it anyway!
They both look great but I prefer the small one with the traingular set up and the compact plants. The brief glimpse of the Discus tank shows that it is 'sorted out' now and looking great. Great news they are spwaning! I thought I saw a shower of pink eggs released in your Cichlid tank when it was just in the edge of your shot towards the end of the video??? Maybe just bubbles?
Good boy Tommy! He seems like such a great pup! I think a dutch aquascape would be fantastic, George. The Aquascaping book was on my christmas list....it may be wrapped and sitting under the tree already! Fingers crossed.
I am a big fan of the aquascapes that look like landscapes but underwater and i really love the bonsai trees. Blackwater to me just looks like your tank is dirty. I trust whatever you do it will be amazing. I am impressed Oase got you to be their ambassador big feather in their cap but well deserved, I got the filtosmart thermo 200 on my 20 gallon and it is really a brilliant product.
I would love to see you do a proper Dutch style layout with the 85, no hardscape, just purely plants really uniformed, probably quite unnatural looking TBH, but extremely colourful
George - would definitely love to see a blackwater aquarium with beautiful cardinals or neons. Also really surprised you like the rimmed aquariums better. In USA I would love the rimless but they are so much more expensive and harder to get a hold of than rimmed aquariums. Nice video
Beauties. I love both of those scapes. And I particularly love the shot at the end with both scapes on the left of the frame and the cichlids on the right of the frame. Thank you for sharing! Cheeri-O! - Little Bobby
Just found your channel, amazing scapes, great inspiration. Been into planted tanks for about a year now. What do you recommend for getting plants in the winter season? I live in the states and it's snowing here. :)
A very enjoyable video George, i personally would like to see you try a Dutch style scape next , PS: nice to see Emma in this vid , corner reflection 👋👋
hi george, absolutely stunning tanks, enjoy watching your videos, very calm and soothing, youve hinted in you other videos considering a reef tank build, all the best.
Yes, please, do a rescape of both. I always enjoy new scapes and there are new things and hints to pick up from new setups. I would sugest doing scape focused more on hardscape then plants just for a change. Past scapes of yours when finished had more of plants then of a hardscape.
I recently started using tropica advanced. I found i have to double dose to get the pearling i was getting with my previous fert. But I've also noticed the growth although slower looks healthier in some way.
I’ve swapped from a lidded tank to a rimless one as I prefer the look. I get all the arguments for a rimmed tank but just don’t like the look as much when it’s a true aqua scape
Thanks for the in depth look at these two beautiful aquariums. The lidded aquariums and the matte black finish reminds me of what got me into the hobby all those years ago. It's a particular look that is growing less common because of the Low iron rimless tank trend we see today.
Hey George, coincidentally I’m running the exact same set up to you for the white styleline 75 and the filtosmart thermo, so your vids have been really helpful. My third tank now but my first invested aquascape. Can’t decide on how much to invest on a co2 system though
These videos are always so tranquil, and the commentary matching it is incredibly helpful. I had to get rid of my aquariums years ago because of my disability. Watching videos like these really allows me to enjoy a hobby I haven’t been able to be apart of for some time. I’m in the process of cycling a 20 gallon tall, hopeful it’s small but stable enough for my health to handle. I am excited to try and aquascape an aquarium again, as I was never able to finish my original ones.

I would like to see something with sand or gravel instead of soil to the see how plants thrive in there😉 greetings from Germany ✌️

I like the look of rimmed tanks. It just has that cozy feel. And you can have lids so you dont have to do daily maintenance.
I do miss your open top tanks, but your current scapes look great!

Grab some plumbers PTFE tape and wrap it round the seal, you’ll never see a leak again. And keep the filter in a bucket for extra peace of mind.

🦐✔️ Nice one G.
The Aquascapes look amaising but we are forgetting the swim space for the POOR CLAUSTROPHOBIC FISH, GIVE THEM MORE SWIM SPACE!!
16w and you're getting those results? Well that's an eye opener for me Sir. Maybe I need to re assess my 100w!
The Tommy ending was amazing. Love seeing that guy :) Fun video George!

@georgefarmer #georgefarmer
I was wondering if you can please, please, please, make a scape with Legos. I have Star Wars sets. Tons of little storm troopers with weapons. My child doesn't play with it but we really want to make a scape that we can make like a fighting scene with plants and something with Legos. Maybe create a new Aquascape called toy scaping?
Amazon style scape for 125 and Dutch style for 85 maybe !
What is the water hardness in them? If you up the light intensity to high light in the 20 gallon tank, how much fertilizer would you increase to? And loving both tanks!
Hello George ,
I am sorry for asking here a somehow random question but I do not really know where to reach you.
What do you suggest under sand for a low tech amazonian biotope oriented tank?
Would you make a combination of different layers or you would just use nutrition tablets? Thank you in advance for your useful feedback
Did you upgrade to the oase 250 filter. I’m currently deciding my setup for a styleline 85
My room temperature is already 35°C.
If anything I really don't want heat to be trapped in the tank. *Sigh*
Any other ideas how to get lower temperatures?
What is the Oase Styleline 175 Like I have a 3 ft Fluval at the moment looking to down size just got fish in what is the LTR of it and is the heater in the external pump
You can try with Sparkling Gourami in the blackwater aquascape.
Hello George the 75 is amazing, so mysterious and atmospheric layout . Would you be able to do that without co2 ? I mean most of the plants are low demanding plants
Still one of my favourite aquascapes in that 75L
Wow amazing tanks. George, I saw you have amano and cherry shrimps in one tank together, don't they fight or the amano eats the smaller cherries?
Another nice vid George but all i could watch for the last 5 minutes was the reflection of your misses in the highline 175 :)
I tried the MCT oil in my bubble counter, it just gets pushed out through the line just like water does when the CO2 comes on.
I love both your ideas, would love to see a blackwater and a Dutch tank!
Thanks Toby!
Nice Christmastree in the backround...😉🌲👍
I just wish they sold the StyleLine in the USA. I did the conversion and it's so great a deal for the kit.
How much would it have been in us?
@@TobyCreates it was around $400 for the 85. Cabinet, lights, filter, tank, that's a steal to be honest.
@@loniedupre88 that’s a crazy deal when you count it out, especially because it’s very high quality
That's at least based on the sale price at some place called Pond Planet. I really hope Oase starts importing them. It's a way better deal than any of the kits at something like Petco.
@@loniedupre88 with that stand too, what a steal
Go the route that the guys at Green Aqua did and convert one to a terrarium with misting system and dart frogs.
oh yes George a blackwater biotope please, fantastic idea
Please do apistogrammas with the black water tank
Aquascaped black water yes please!!! 😍👌
Thanks for this video bro i have learnt alot
Can you give me link for C02 please?
Do you use hardwater? Softwater? Or RO water?
похож на актера из фильма матрица))))каждый день твои ролики смотрю!
where do you obtain black hose?
Are these StyleLine tanks clear glass ?
Oase: George, we will give you these aquariums to show off
George: I will use them and produce good results but I will depreciate and doubt them during my review, ok?
Oase:...?
I think the scapes look good!
Back when I was considering a blackwater tank I was considering sundadanio axelrodi and/or chocolate gouramis. Never tried it though.
Lovely and informative, thanks George.
Is the 20 gallon not a bit undersized to let you make the "street strategy" for a Dutch style tank actually work? Also, surely the lighting is too low for red plants in your smaller tank? The 30 gallon tank has more length and more light, perhaps ideal for a Dutch mini-scape.

Wowww i love it!!!!
Classic Iwagumi one pot wonder would be interesting considering you have a black background....bright ember tetras would contrast it amazingly.
Great looking tanks. OASE StyleLine 85 would be my choice from the two. I like the green natural look.

I would love to see you do a proper Dutch style layout with the 85, no hardscape, just purely plants really uniformed, probably quite unnatural looking TBH, but extremely colourful
George - would definitely love to see a blackwater aquarium with beautiful cardinals or neons. Also really surprised you like the rimmed aquariums better. In USA I would love the rimless but they are so much more expensive and harder to get a hold of than rimmed aquariums. Nice video
Beauties. I love both of those scapes. And I particularly love the shot at the end with both scapes on the left of the frame and the cichlids on the right of the frame. Thank you for sharing! Cheeri-O! - Little Bobby
Just found your channel, amazing scapes, great inspiration. Been into planted tanks for about a year now. What do you recommend for getting plants in the winter season? I live in the states and it's snowing here. :)
A very enjoyable video George, i personally would like to see you try a Dutch style scape next , PS: nice to see Emma in this vid , corner reflection 👋👋
hi george, absolutely stunning tanks, enjoy watching your videos, very calm and soothing, youve hinted in you other videos considering a reef tank build, all the best.
Beautiful scapes George! My favorite scaping channel that needs way more subscribers! Come on people spread the word for George so he can reach 200k!
Yes, please, do a rescape of both. I always enjoy new scapes and there are new things and hints to pick up from new setups. I would sugest doing scape focused more on hardscape then plants just for a change. Past scapes of yours when finished had more of plants then of a hardscape.
I recently started using tropica advanced. I found i have to double dose to get the pearling i was getting with my previous fert. But I've also noticed the growth although slower looks healthier in some way.
I’ve swapped from a lidded tank to a rimless one as I prefer the look. I get all the arguments for a rimmed tank but just don’t like the look as much when it’s a true aqua scape
Your videos/aquascapes are so inspiring and informative. Favorite aquarium youtuber for sure
Thanks for the in depth look at these two beautiful aquariums. The lidded aquariums and the matte black finish reminds me of what got me into the hobby all those years ago. It's a particular look that is growing less common because of the Low iron rimless tank trend we see today.
Hey George, coincidentally I’m running the exact same set up to you for the white styleline 75 and the filtosmart thermo, so your vids have been really helpful. My third tank now but my first invested aquascape. Can’t decide on how much to invest on a co2 system though
I like the ideas :)
And i love true biotopes.
So especially looking forward to the blackwater tank.
I am going to get an oase styline 85 and convert it to saltwater for Christmas, wish me luck! :)
These videos are always so tranquil, and the commentary matching it is incredibly helpful. I had to get rid of my aquariums years ago because of my disability. Watching videos like these really allows me to enjoy a hobby I haven’t been able to be apart of for some time. I’m in the process of cycling a 20 gallon tall, hopeful it’s small but stable enough for my health to handle. I am excited to try and aquascape an aquarium again, as I was never able to finish my original ones.
chilli rasboras + some wild betta cocina maybe for the black water aquarium
The Oase styleline 85 aquascape looks amazing and now my new inspiration for my low maintenance tank !
Black water tank with Tetra Emperor fish would be great
Excited to see some new scapes! Always nice to see Tommy as well! Hope I spelled his name right!!
Thanks for the information on the rimmed vs rimless tanks, George.
Aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷, gostamos muito dos seus vídeos. Mas coloca legenda em outros idiomas. Vai ajudar bastante. Parabéns pelo seu trabalho, muito expirador!!!
A very relaxed and informative video George. Nicely done.
Happy to be proved wrong but Dutch style never ever excites me. Yes to blackwater though!
Fancy seeing you here. You’re the guy who mods that aquascaping group on Facebook.
@@jamie3499 haha. Yes. Always good to learn from George.
I like both of your ideas for the new scapes, always nice to see different things.
