Just found your channel whilst having my early morning coffee & chillout... stunning tank/scape with great info, my inner calm is set for the day 😁 ,loved watching this and looking forward to watching all & more of your movies... subscribed and hit the bell 👍 top stuff mate 👍 Will you be doing a follow up in a month or so ? Cheers Marc
Just fabulous! I live in the States, but originally from Burnley… who just got promoted back into the Premiership… I will be in Old Blighty in July so I hope to visit you. Really appreciate your educational videos.
Great video my friend! Hello from Canada! Your production is clean, to the point and well made. No superfluous yammering, bad hand held motion and endless segues. What a joy to watch!
What an incredible aquarium this is! If I could only copy and paste it straight to my tank! Loved this video, however I wouldn't have minded watching the tank fill just a bit longer :p
Thank you for listing what each material was, so many "guides" just put a bunch of different plants and rocks in the tank assuming we're all expert botanists etc.
Such an amazing tank... so inspirational for those getting into the hobby 👍😁 I'm very jealous! 😍 Great plant choices. I've had a lot of success with these species too. When can we see an update vid?
Love your videos I am using fluval stratum it says I need to wash it to get rid of the fine dust could get a way it not washing it it also says not to put gravel on top but when I phoned up hagen they told me I could what's your take on this as you being an aquascaper cheers
Hi Dave. Really enjoyed the video. The sand made all the difference with the contrast. How many hours a day are you leaving the light on for.? Way are you using the tropica specialised and not the premium? Appreciate your advise. All the best. Aengus
Hi Aengus, light is 8 hours per day at 40% intensity. We are using specialised because there are lots of plants in here. If the lighting was on full power and using CO2 then we would triple dose the Tropica specialised. Thanks for watching 😊
Hi, really enjoyed watching this set up, thank you for sharing. How long did you wait before adding the shrimp and is that wait time the same for fish?
I'd really want to pursue this kind of CO2 free and low-energy set up - It's supposed to be hobby and not like maintaining a data-center and server room. I haven't had much luck with plants - maybe I'm using tab water (with water stabilizers) or is it the water being too warm - room temp typically 23-26 deg C? But will definitely try your plant selection.
@@AquariumGardensAquascaping how man hours should I have the light on each day? I'm currently doing about 4-5 hours after getting home from work (9pm - 1am). When you say "Regular 50% water changes" - like change out 50% of the tank once every week or more frequently ? I currently change out about 10% every day with ADA Green Brighty STEP 1 additives replenishment (about 3-4 ml for my 70L tank. Mant thx indeed!
Hey dave. Amazing tank 👋👍. I would use the same layout in my 60cm tank. My question is, can is use the same plants without my aqua medica aquarius plant light and co2? Or is it not good for the plants? Thank you
Ive just bought a Fluval Roma 90 and would like to try and replicate your non co2 aquascape. Can you tell me how much i would be looking at for the plants used in your video?
I have a 16 w led light for my 65 cm long., 75 litres tank.... Is this too strong for anubias, java fern,and bucephalandra ?? I use diy co2.. can give some advice on how to grow bucephalandra like your's?? strong colors and alage free
In my low tech/high effort 240 gallon,I've gotten most plants I like to do well with no Co2. My water is very soft 1.ppm It well lit. Only Bolbitis heudelotii has failed to thrive..I've even aimed a powerhead right at it for top flow...its leaves start to darken and erode. I cannot figure out why. I started dosing iron gluconate and all the plants just took off....except the Bolbitis. Is it just not growable without Co2?
Hi everyone, When should we start adding liquid fertilizer to the tank? Is it good to wait a couple of weeks first or start adding from day one? I've seen different opinions
volcanomineral as first layer under the highest point had been the better choice...i run multiple nanos...without technic, except the lights...completely filtered by bacteria in the volcanominerals and Epipremnum aureum, which filters a lot of toxicstuff out of the water...my next step is to test that at a 200 liter tank
Another advertising video for the needlessly expensive ADA line. Doesn’t really give any tips or tricks just a buy ADA products video. However It’s a great demonstration on how to turn a 60L tank into a 20L tank.

That was great. A pleasure to watch & informative. Thank you!
Hi. Such a lovely layout. What is the temperature of the water in your tank please?
VERY inspiring! TY and I am going to try a similar layout for my pea puffer tank :)
Thanks for this nice Video.Nice too see how such an Aquarium is created😍👍🐟🌿
Absolutely stunning thanks
This was a BEAUTIFULLY done video that gave me some great ideas. Thank you so much!

From India
🙏
Nice plant selection 👌

Hey Matt thanks for your kind comment 😊 updated video soon hopefully! It’s doing really well so I will film it soon and upload 👍
Wery helpful, nice and easy. Thanks a lot for the eforth.
An inspiration for my next non CO2 tank setup. 😍😍😍
👍😊
After the first month, what does the water change schedule look like for this tank? And beautiful tank, can’t wait to try and recreate this!
Love your videos I am using fluval stratum it says I need to wash it to get rid of the fine dust could get a way it not washing it it also says not to put gravel on top but when I phoned up hagen they told me I could what's your take on this as you being an aquascaper cheers
Excellent video! Thank you so much, I very much appreciate this.
Amazing video and result. Would it be possible to share information about the quantities of the different plants used?
What wattage does the light run at and lighting period . I would love to do something similar . Thanks .
really beautiful
Nice set up Dave! How long would you leave the light on per day?
Nice set up, great video, like always :)
Very nice work sar
Nice set up
Very nice and informative, Thanks Dave.
So beautiful, stunning
how many hours lights are on per day, please?
What do you mean by 1-2 grow?
No CO2 injection? where does the micro bubbles come from?
This is great! Subscribed 👍🏻
Have you added a filter on the left? Didn't quite get any clarity on that.
Yes 1 x Oase Filto Smart Thermo 100
Is there any footage of this tank after 6 months?
Hi Dave.
Really enjoyed the video. The sand made all the difference with the contrast.
How many hours a day are you leaving the light on for.?
Way are you using the tropica specialised and not the premium?
Appreciate your advise.
All the best.

Thank you for the reply Dave.
How often are dosing this tank with the tropica specialised ?
Have a good weekend.
Aengus
We will dose 1 pump every 2 days in this tank - slightly over the amount on instructions but we do large water changes each week too.

Try lower lighting, easy/slow growing plants and regular 50% water changes 👍
And plant heavily from the start 😊

would these plants work in a non co2 tank (30cm deep) with a 15 watt nicrew led (45liters)
I honestly dont think this tank would survive without co2, he must have been dosing it with liquid carbon or ferts.
Nice setup man ,thanks for sharigg
Awesome work bro thank you for video..
Glad you like it! 😊
great plant selection :)
If i use co2 pill do i need a strong light and if i dont use co2 is it good for the plant to grow under strong lights
Nice... good job. I like...
Hey dave. Amazing tank 👋👍. I would use the same layout in my 60cm tank. My question is, can is use the same plants without my aqua medica aquarius plant light and co2? Or is it not good for the plants? Thank you
hi there when you glue, is it a regular one? or an specific for this?
How's this tank now, is it still set up?
Ive just bought a Fluval Roma 90 and would like to try and replicate your non co2 aquascape.
Can you tell me how much i would be looking at for the plants used in your video?

With the lower intensity lighting, how long do you recommend on having it on?

Only Bolbitis heudelotii has failed to thrive..I've even aimed a powerhead right at it for top flow...its leaves start to darken and erode. I cannot figure out why. I started dosing iron gluconate and all the plants just took off....except the Bolbitis.
Is it just not growable without Co2?
Will the ONF Cookie with 2 ‘pucks’ considered as low light? Over 45cm tank
Do u get any foul smell from this setup? Previously, I set up small vases with shrimps, but they produced foul smell, so I took them down...
After how many days were the shrimp added to the tank ?
After about two weeks👍
Hi everyone,
When should we start adding liquid fertilizer to the tank? Is it good to wait a couple of weeks first or start adding from day one? I've seen different opinions
What a beautiful aquarium, I love it! Please let me know before fill in water, how long you place? Or you just fill in water and no need waiting?
Nice scape. What sand You used?
Thanks! It’s ADA Colorado Sand 👍
Very good aquarium.
how long did you wait for the glue to dry up?
A couple of hours 👍
Helanthium Tenellum can be trimmed like we trim hairgrass?
Yes when it’s gets too much just trim back like hair grass and it will grow back👍
awesome. Love it. Thank you for sharing Dave 👍
Thanks glad you liked it! 😊
How many kg’s of the Tropica Aquarium Soil did you use for this scape? Amazing scape btw! 😍🎉
About 6KG 👍🙏
How much money for all that plants ?
Well done! Does twinstar light have regulator in the package when u buy it?
They can be purchased separately here www.aquariumgardens.co.uk/led-controllerdimmer-for-twinstar-lights-3615-p.asp
Excellent work Dave, can I ask is the light a twin star or a ADA light? Cheers Deano
Hi Dean, thanks! It’s a Twinstar 450e
Cheers Dave
Nice step by step thanks Dave! I’d be interested to know what your preferred tweezer brand is if you have chance to answer?
Tropica do a great value pair of tweezers 👍 for the best look at ADA.
Nice job! 👍 😁
Thank you 😊
Looks awesomw but I got to ask how much £££ would that cost?, sorry if that sounds vulgar.
volcanomineral as first layer under the highest point had been the better choice...i run multiple nanos...without technic, except the lights...completely filtered by bacteria in the volcanominerals and Epipremnum aureum, which filters a lot of toxicstuff out of the water...my next step is to test that at a 200 liter tank
My repens all died and my carpetgrass too.how low light is low light :( my nanas, dwarf grass, moss ball, and others are all surviving.
without co2 ?? i dont think so
Very beautiful scape! can you help me do something similar in my small 15 liter aquarium? :D
Sure, drop in store or email us and we can send you a list of what you need :)
very nice tank!
but i just have to ask....why te co2 diffuser ,if its a non-co2 tank?
(no judgement...just curious)
Thank you! No CO2 diffuser on this tank 👍
Aquarium Gardens ,so....the glass pipes on the left...what are they? Just inlet and outlet for the filter?
I’m curious!
Inlet and outlet glass pipes to external filter below (Oase Filto Smart Thermo 100)
without CO2 how are you able to make plants pearl... i see bubbles in the video...
good try... but needs more green growth and less rocks for the coverage below.
Great video, beautiful scape.
beautiful setup! thanks for the video!

I have a 16 w led light for my 65 cm long., 75 litres tank.... Is this too strong for anubias, java fern, and bucephalandra?? I use DIY co2(yeast).. can give some advice on how to grow bucephalandra like your's?? strong colors and algae free
Try adding some floating plants like limnobium.
50-60% water changes per week 👍
We also use RGB lighting made by Twinstar.
