I still think this one deserves no 1! The mirror creating the illusion of the water is fantastic! It created such a fairyland feel! I think the fishes would be grateful to stay in this fairyland for their whole life! 😀
You're such a creative scaper, pushing what can be done in an aquarium to its limits. All your videos are so informative as well. Good luck in this year's IAPLC
You are so creative, funny and a pure genius! I have so much enjoyed this trilogy! Thank you for taking the time to share this with us! It's beyond inspiring! I enjoyed the whole process of what it took to create this masterpiece and award-winning aquascape!!! I so enjoyed your storytelling too😁😂🤗Thanks Steven, I hope you have a very blessed day my friend!!🙏🌱🐟🌱
Thanks for sharing all the exclusive techniques & Congratulations once more for your extremely hard work & fresh concept Steve 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You are an inspiration to push ourselves further more ✌🏼
Love your ingenuity and creativeness Steve. Absolutely beautiful amazing aquascape. Watching this video makes me think you shod have won even more so. Keep up the good works and inspiring us all!
I actually used a Maxlite Pro and two Solar I’s. This mostly has to do with availability of lights and arms, with my other Maxlite Pro needed to light my old 120x45x45 grow out tank.
Mostly the brown algae near the starting phase. That’s what they and the Amano’s are best at taking out- but they’ll pick at the others as well. Most livebearers do, but Mollies are to guppies what Amano’s are to cherries. lol
You placed pumice stone as sort of a filler material for the excess space in the tank. Based on your explanation, they can maybe used as a biomedia filter. Can I do that? Is it safe to use pumice as biomedia filter?
I actually have, and do have some pumice in my filter for that purpose and it works just fine. I imagine it’s not as efficient as professionally designed media, but it’s definitely effective enough when on a tight budget.
@@SteveScapesYT Thanks man! Lots of super glue and cigarette filters and egg crate! I loved some of the tips you gave in that green aqua video with the water proof duct tape how scapers need to develop their own methods and tricks to make a nice tank. It’s so true and is part of the fun. The hardest part I’m having with the contest tank is the focal point all you guys use. I have a hard time picking a spot and building around it.
This is such a great composition. I really enjoy even just looking at it. Your videos on this subject were very enlightening and well planned and presented without being repetitive as many "explanatory" videos can be. I didn't miss it being a videographic masterpiece at all and you kept me in rapt attention throughout all 3 videos. For the moment, I only have one question - how did you get the ripple effect in the "water" at the top center of the scene? Thanks for sharing this!
;) I got to keep some things to myself. The better question people need to ask themselves is not “how,” but “what,”- and then imagine their own “how”s. Thanks for watching!

the explanation of the backstage works is really helpful to see how such beautiful scape is built
Great work, wish there were more channels like this going super in depth into aquascapes :)
Thanks Kevin! :D
I absolutely agree Kevin!
Wow! Great work! The way you use mirror to create the pool effect is really amazing!
That’s amazing! You can really tell how much thinking and hard work went into making this 👍👏
Thanks Ryo :D

Man I always tried to figure out how did you do it you are a real talented person thank you for sharing I really enjoyed looking at your aquascape
Thank you! :D
Still using the ADA Solar I? Is that a conscious choice or just what's lying around/used to?
I actually used a Maxlite Pro and two Solar I’s. This mostly has to do with availability of lights and arms, with my other Maxlite Pro needed to light my old 120x45x45 grow out tank.
What algae do the the mollies pick on? The hair types? And what type of mollies did you get?
Mostly the brown algae near the starting phase. That’s what they and the Amano’s are best at taking out- but they’ll pick at the others as well. Most livebearers do, but Mollies are to guppies what Amano’s are to cherries. lol

great vid you prepared here thank you
This is so good, I got a 90P now that I’m moving into a bigger space and I’m going to create my first contest tank!
Good luck Michael!!

Thank you, and thanks for watching! Blow dryer, pretty standard technique.
Nice
Thanks!
Please Steven, how do you stick a big piece of wood like this to the glass 🙏

@@SteveScapesYT not cool! I'll ask Josh he will answer.
Good luck- pursuing answers is part of what helps us value them. Please show Josh the respect he deserves.
@@SteveScapesYT stop blabla. Keep your skill for your self and that's it. Don't be arrogant.
Awesome
Thanks man :)
Aloha braddah! I Always look forward to your posts. Mahalo for sharing. Can i email you some questions i have about the hobby?
FB messenger me :D
Sir,
One request for making a educational video
About golden ratio concept in aquascape, I have zero knowledge about that
check green aquas video on it, its great
Mirrors do rust. Did not have this problem ?
I didn’t see it happen
Yeah you guys are perverts! Haha this is incredible
Absolutely-thanks!
