I'm just not happy until I see the red colander
😊
Hi George. Anne here. Just wanted to say again thank you so much for creating such an amazing scape for us yesterday. We are both thrilled with it. It's so beautiful.
Anne Bland is there a video of it?
Lol sorry I thought it was for another tank, good luck Anne
Any video's or pictures how the aquarium looks today ?
HI HAVE YOU A PHOTO OR 2 OF HOW THE AQURIUM LOOKS NOW, WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW THE PLANTING EVOLVED
I was pretty dismissive of the blue chain pet store background at first and surprised to see it on one your tanks but once the tank was filled It really grew on me too! The contrast between the grey, blue, and green is really attractive. Maybe theres a bit on unexplored space in background choice to experiment in! Thanks so much for today's inspiration!
Yes on the blue background. Another beautiful scape George. Thanks for sharing to both you and Roy.
Came out great. The background like you said its his tank and he likes it and thats all that really matters.
The driftwood pieces are wonderful! The hardscape came out great. The scape with plants is just stunning! Love it! Now, I'm off to order some Trident Java Fern!
One sweet looking Roma 240!
Fluval Aquatics why can’t I find these in the states anymore?? 😭
Simple but so calm to look at. Great job
I really like double island/U-shaped aquascapes. Lovely scape, nice mix of greens and super natural looking
I love the low maintenance plants. You make the "easier" type of plants look great, which is what inspires so many of us to try them. Keep up the great work!
Thanks mate 👍
Love the hardscape and plants! And surprisingly, loving the blue background as well!
That blue background actually works.. I didn't think it would but like you said as soon as water was added it made sense.
George you inspire us and lead us into greatness I salute you
Either no background or plain black... I have the Roma 240 & dont use a background the fish are the colour then against the scape .. awesome George 👏💯
Love the wood, and the milk crate idea. I've usually drilled and lag bolted a piece of slate to the bottom of large pieces.
I like the blue background. The whole tank looks great. And the water is crystal clear. A job well done 👍
Amazing work, thanks George for the video
I keep white clouds too and they're so interesting to watch! highly underrated fish imo. beautiful scape! 🌿👌
Hey George lovely Scape. Funnily enough I rescaped my fluval Roma 125 this morning once I received some bits from aquarium gardens. Pretty happy with it, getting ready to inject co2 - I wish I could post a photo in these comments!
Absolutely. Go with what you like and what works for you or the clients
Amazing!! You always make it look so easy George good job 👍
Great work George. Amazing
Great scape as always George. I wasn't keen on the background initially but once the scape was complete and water added I think it looks really effective. Great contrast
Keep ole Blu! It really compliments the scape. Awesome work!
love this type of content from you gives me a much better idea of what i could do with an ordinary aquarium thank you
Perfect job
Congrats George 😀 Great job .
Initially a bit unsure about the background, but I think it adds a sense of infinity to the scape, a sense that there is more beyond rather than just ending at the back wall of the tank. The blue makes the greens of the plants and the colours in the fish zing too! Loving what you do!
I like the background, and the scape is superb...
Love the blue !
Blue background looks good, nice scape!
The blue background is surprisingly very nice. thought for sure it might not look great but now i might want one for my tank!
Great job George. I love it. I would love to spend a day building a scape with you
Your low maintenance layouts are super inspiring for me and my FUTURE planted discus tank, ha. Great video
One question George, CRYPTOCORYNE BALANSAE is listed by some as a moderate to high light plant. Does it work for you in the low tech, lower light set ups?
Nice Background and gravel , it give deppt and highlights the Plants and fishes. Like it !!!
Everything about that tank is beautiful IMO, including the blue background. Wish it was in my living room... Great job George !
Thanks Louise 👍
Very, very pretty!!! Colors are so good together especially the blue background...nice one George!!! Nice fish too!!!
Nice job George. No two tanks are alike. Do what ever makes you happy. I think it looks ok.
Hey George, great tank! About the blue background, I didn't like it at the beginning of the video, but it sure grew on me! I think it looks very good in there, especially with the color choice of gravel and hardscape. Very nice!
The background looks suprisingly good. Good job he kept it. It's probably one of the best aquascaped floval roma 240 in their history;) good job
Thanks Piotr
Stunning George absolutely stunning, you cannot go wrong with that plant choice for a low tech tank. Would nice to see a update if Roy is happy with that. Blue background don’t love it but don’t hate it. Thanks to you just got my 5th aquarium and she who is to be obeyed said that’s it, fair comment.
Stunning scape George! With my favorite fish and plants, I like the background, it’s very unique, well done!
Really impressed with the egg crate, structure wood and HK gravel, suits the seiryu rock well!
Interesting and very nice aquarium.
Beautiful, I'm your fan from Puerto Rico.
Looks great 😊
Love it, as you say great to see a ‘normal’ setup which will be easy to maintain.
Roy - please send George some footage in a few weeks once it’s grown in so we can see the results.
Really enjoyable and informative video again George, I always learn something from each of them! I had no idea that hard water won't be affected by adding rock to the layout, I've been worrying about rock selection for our new tank as our water is 324ppm so thank you!!!! Your hardscape is superb and the plants from Aquarium Gardens (loved that part of the video) are outstanding! As for the background, at first I must admit I really thought it was incongruous to a fresh water layout but once it was submersed....it works, particularly with the stone and rock colouration (but then thats what a great designer does for his client). Would love to see an update in a few months when the plants have grown in!
I like the background. I feel it adds depth
One of your best videos George. I was also questioning the blue background but it really suits the scape and fish. I think it looks better than the new ADA back light ones to be honest!
I like the back ground...also love the music choices you use during the scaping scenes!
Dito on the background, it works really well.
Not kept fish for 20 year's, but actually looking to buy this very same aquarium, so this has definitely inspired me.
Great video, keep up the good work :)
You kill it every time mate! Your work is such an inspiration! Keep on scaping :)
I love the background. I've just ordered the 240 and am painting the background a royal blue.
Love the scape. I really like the look that the ferns and crypts give to the aquarium. I personally use solid black backgrounds on my aquariums to hide the wires and hoses. Never thought about using a different color. The sheets of aluminum are already anodized black. To each his own I guess. Wonderful job once again George
Thanks Mike 👍
Yes finally using tropica plant growth substrate!!!
I use this all the time
Hi btw George wonderful as always
Love the background.
Very good video to watch and learn plus scape is brilliant
Hello George! Nice work, nice tank, nice aquascape! My respect for you!)))
Tank came out looking excellent, also agree didnt like background at first bit looks good. sure will thrive, i have always tried and failed using plants buy next attempt i am going to try all these plants and hope i eventually succeed, great vid george
Really like the wood in this I’m 50-50 on the background. It does look better with the water in it though. I really can’t believe how into I’m getting with aquascaping. I enjoy your videos and should be starting the hardscape on mine this weekend.
The blue background is surprisingly beautiful, a different taste from the usual black or white.
Hi George, Thanks for explaining some of your thoughts process in setting up the scape. It helps as newbie. Nice scape, not sure of the background.
Another excellent video!
Hi George... was thinking the background should go, but once done and filled it actually looks great
Awesome as usual. Would love to see you do some large peninsula scapes to see you meet the challenge of so much more of the tank being visible.
Love it!!!
The blue background looks great! Only thing I would change about it is have it be lighter blue at the top grading to a dark blue near the bottom of the tank. Scape looks great! I hope you are allowed to revisit it in 3, 6, 9 and 12 months time for progress/growth updates.
Wow! Look at all of those Vitopods!!
M 25 U.K. Biggest carpark ! Love it 😆
Beautiful job as always, quality plants, quality work ! ❤️👍
love the background, at first i didn't, but now i want it
Beautiful tank💕💞💖💗💝
I thought the same as you about the background, but the difference between how it looks with and without water is quite remarkable. 😊 I thought about putting a background on mine but I have a low boredom threshold and I'd want to change it too often! 😋
Those are the sweetest looking plants ever, i don't know what to think of the background, it's 'ok'. But all and all the tank is perfect. :)
Alot of them plants I used in my 4 week old roma 200 :P well trident, wendtii, and balansae, growing great with only lc and all in one ferts.
Blue background looks good I think. Adding some platinum angels in the tank will look really nice because they will look like clouds in the sky. :D
Ooo man nice tank👌👌
Hi George,very nice scape
Dude you are amazing !!!
Great! Such a nice Scape - love it! Top Job from George, as always! Greetings from Germany
Thank you ! 👍
Another great scape. Wasn’t too keen on the background to start with but it works well 👍
Nicely done George! While I wouldn't pick the background for my own tank, I think it fits the situation nicely. The clients are happy, you got paid and I enjoyed watching it all. Cheers. :)
I've just got a fluval 240 Roma. Hopefully i can scape mine as well as this one 😁
Just ordered the Rio LED 240 today. My old Juwel Panaroma have lasted for 18 years, it was time to buy a new one. Thanks for inspiration!
You’re welcome! Good luck with the new tank 👍
@@GeorgeFarmerStudios Thanks. Which Co2 do you recommend?
Just setup my first ever nature style and only 3rd aquascape ever.
It's on my channel if anyone cares to look, and george this is one of your best imo. I agree about the background after you flooded the tank it looked way better.
Great video George.. Loved the shopping trip beforehand. What i would do to have a shop like that near me! The background had me worried at first as well but it turned out well. Keep inspiring brother, it's why we all tune in👍👍👍
The tank has come up nicely George. I wasn't liking the blue background when you started but it does actually blend in nicely with the set up you have made in the end! I prefer to frost mine though with film. Keep it up George, love it.
The tank and scape looks great, not sure about the background yet, still studying it.
I always enjoy watching you create new scapes for your clients. Another great one, but a black background would be an even greater contrast. But hey "the customer is always right."
Nice scape George. Before you even mentioned the background I though "ewww" but with water in the tank it looks actually real nice.
Tus videos son de excelente nivel, saludos desde ciudad de Piura, país Perù.
The Background is not bad, i didn't see something like this.
In this Aquarium is it a good part.
For me, i would take a black Background.
I love colorful Plant, and that looks better with a black Background.
Great Scape, by the way.
Lovely scape. I like the background, especially with the water ripples near the outlet, it makes it shimmer. I'm getting a 3D background for mine shortly. I have the exact same tank and it's turned in to a dirty jungle so needs a big overhaul and a massive clean.
Personally I think Fluval made a bit of a bugger-up by putting the inlet and outlet at one end. The other end is so still and there's barely any flow over there. Circulation would have been so much better with the inlet and outlet at either ends. But it's still a great tank. I look at it now and think "Damn.... I need a six-footer" XD
Like the blue background and the framed tank. I, personally prefer a tank with a frame. It looks like a live picture
That blue background would look PERFECT in an african cichlid tank. By the way I noticed that the tank is quite near the TV....... won't be surprised if he ends up spending more time looking at his beautiful tank than watching TV. lol
That red colander is becoming iconic
Love this scape, and also like that you used gravel instead of just soil. The wall behind looks very white so I think keeping the blue background was a good idea. Only thing I would have liked is that you should have filmed the tank for more then a minute when it was done! Love your aquarium videos, so I really missed that!
Great video George, own a Roma 240 myself so this was really inspiring. Would have gone with a black background to be honest but the blue doesn’t look bad at all!
The blue background works well in the end, makes a nice change from black :)
First thought of the background was the same as you had. But atleast here in the video on my Phone it looks OK. I would love to see this aquascape on a all black background though. Think both The fish and scape would pop even more and make more of an impact! 👌Awesome job mate
