Planted aquariums of the aquascaping contest The Art of the Planted Aquarium 2012. The contest is organized every year in Hannover, Germany. This time over 30 planted aquariums were arranged, some of them were really amazing. It's impossible to list all the aquarium plants used in the aquascapes, they were probably all species available in the aquarium trade ;) Aquarium sets were provided by Eheim, the volume was 150 liter, dimensions 100x50x50 cm. Eheim external canister filters were used, and aquarium lighting were T5 fluorescent lamps by Narva. No CO2 supplementation was used during the contest, but obviously most of the aquariums were pre-grown at home, far ahead before the aquascaping contest. There were no aquarium fish in the aquariums, because they were not allowed by the rules of the contest.

A fish paradise, each. Breathtaking!

@RunninUpThatHillh 11 лет назад

after watching endless amano tanks and others, i'm finally inspired after watching this arrangement! Thank you.

@turtlegeckosailor 11 лет назад

All of these aquarium designs are fantastic!

@SupaTanks 11 лет назад

You're so lucky to live where these awesome show take place:)

@ENRIQUEGOITIA 11 лет назад

wow no. 21 was just baeutiful. red tree, reminds you off autumn foliage, very nice work

@silvesken 8 лет назад

Beautiful and calming - both the visual and the sound.

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

It's called "Journey of a lifetime", and is available from royalty-free.tv :)

@jedimaster8691 11 лет назад

Beautiful tanks!! I've been inspired to create one of these. I do reef tanks, and now want to do a cichlid only tank, and a planted tank. I can't believe there are 2 dislikes on this...maybe their monitor's were messed up lol. Thanks for the amazing video!

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

It a white pane put behind the aquarium, and a small lamp illuminating the pane from below. Check my other video "Aquascaping - Aquarium Ideas from PetFair 2013, Łódź, Poland, pt.3" to see how it is done :)

@xubkeej 11 лет назад

Love the one with tree... so cool... wish I could do something like that..

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

In fact, it's Ludwigia brevipes :) I spoke with Georg W. Just this year in Hannover, and he told me what plant species he used for the tree :)

@420homegrown420 11 лет назад

Trying to get some inspiration for my own planted tanks. Have been watching a lot of your videos and I got to say George W. Just tanks are simply breathtaking.

@nuncasabe9314 9 лет назад

My goodness! Reminds me of an underwater Japanese bonsai and rock garden. Very skillful.

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Exactly! There should be some fihs in these tanks - they are just not allowed by the rules of the contest, but that's only few days, and for the rest of the time there could be lots of fish! :)

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Well, generally sand, escpecially a fine sand, shouldn't be used in aquarium if the thickness of the sand layer is bigger than, say, 1 cm or so. Why do you want to plant on sand? What tank from this video you're thinking about...?

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

It's Ludwigia brevipes wrapped around fragment of driftwood. Very good and, in fact, very easy idea... :)

@LKSM3 9 лет назад

Beautiful, truly a work of art

@TheHiron81 11 лет назад

The magic of nature in the glass

@harryaaacol 9 лет назад

# 21 !!! Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

@berriosenid 9 лет назад

Totally art.

@TheAbzurd 11 лет назад

Aquarium 21 at 1:26 what is that tree, didn't know you could put a bonsai underwater. Amazing.

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Try Eleocharis accicularis or Eleocharis parvula. They look like real grass. Glossostigma elatinoides or Hemianthus callitrichoides are another option, but they don't look like grass.

@joelwateres 11 лет назад

Incredible work

@gammawitch 11 лет назад

@ DefiniteAquascapeTV yup i keep my koi in a 75 gallon aquarium, and she is right about 12 inch's from head to tail... she started out when i first got her in a small pond and after i learned how bad of an idea that was (the pond froze to a block of ice in the winter, lucky for me i had her inside at the time) i have kept her inside, and so far she seems fairly happy so long as i keep a high current of water flowing in the tank for her to play in.

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Hmmm, I'm not sure if 75 gallons tank is big enough for a koi large as yours... What are your water parameters, especially NO2/NO3 levels?

@gammawitch 11 лет назад

+Definite Aquascape TV actually she is happy and healthy, and i would gladly get you a picture if you would like. i just did a 75% water change but the last readout was as follows Ammonia:0 Nitrite:0 Phosphate: 0.25 wide range (basic ph): 7.5 with the water never getting above 75 degrees max. i have 2 water fall pumps, an under gravel and a uv filter (mainly because she loves the water to have a lot of current) oddly enough if i go any higher on the nitrite levels (as recommended by a koi breeder) she swims on her side, i had to resuscitate her once due to it. ill be the first to admit that this is only the second koi i have raised (the first ate a wasp and died) but i have raised tropical fish for a good chunk of my life with all of my fish having a longer than average life span and size for that matter. if you have any recommendations i would gladly hear you out on them. Thanks again :)

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Hey, thanks for this detailed answer :) You seem to be very well aware of how to take care of koi fish! :) I don't have any recommendations, beacuse I don't know much about keeping koi - I also keep Cyprynids, but far far far smaller than koi ;)

@arifinisme 11 лет назад

truly inspiring....

@austinslater8683 11 лет назад

Do you guys go out and find this driftwood for yourselves or purchase it? It's amazing how many different designs you can achieve with it

@Matt_Hln 10 лет назад

Do you know what plants were used at 1:38? It looks like rotala colorata for the "tree" and then some kind of hairgrass with bacopa caroliniana and staurogyne repens throughout?

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 10 лет назад

The tree is made of Ludwigia brevipes. Hairgrass is Eleocharis accicularis, and the stemmed plant is Ammania sp. "bonsai". I think you're right about Staurogyne.

@Matt_Hln 10 лет назад

DefiniteAquascapeTV Do you know how, or how do you think, they attached the ludwigia to the driftwood without it coming off?

@Pokekitsu 11 лет назад

beautiful

@RockHeiland 11 лет назад

I just LOVE trees in aquascaping

@dandwkang 11 лет назад

This may be a silly question, but where do they get such awesome looking branches, rocks and driftwood? I am a beginner aquarist and want my aquarium to look at least SOMEWHAT close to the ones shown in the video. I tried local fish store and petco, but obviously no luck so far.

@harryaaacol 9 лет назад

# 12 amazing. Top three in my list.

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

It's Ludwigia brevipes, wrapped around a fragment of driftwood :)

@BNP-HAWJ 10 лет назад

Super nice! I want one now!

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

What do you mean? That this tank looks like heaven, so heaven is on Earth (i.e. down, not up)? Or that the sun in this layout (the birighter spot) should be in the upper part of the background, not in the lower...?

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

That's right, I was also amazed by this idea when I first saw it :)

@fUjiMaNia 10 лет назад

DefiniteAquascapeTV Do blue'ish LEDs go well with these types of colors? The blue that is used with Coral/Reef setups!?

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

It's Ludwigia brevipes wrapped around fragment of driftwood. Quite easy to achieve, actually (once you know how to do it ;) )

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

What do you mean...? You plant on sand in exactly the same way as you plant on gravel... I'm not sure if I understand the question... :)

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Well, it was quite easy - he just took lots of Ludwigia stems, and attached them to the wood by some string :) After a while the stems started to grow up, and the roots started to grow down :)

@Kathrinaa88 11 лет назад

Zbiornik z 3-ciego miejsca (drzewo na wzgórzu) jest fantastyczny.

@ramihuuskonen6474 10 лет назад

That 1:28 aquarium is sick! Have you got any tutorials how to make one? iv been trying to find a proper tutorial for how to make tree with white / red leaves on a rocky grassfield but so far cant find one.

@rensky214 11 лет назад

u know man.. i do prepared to live there,,it is dat so beautiful place i want.. but i dont have gills to breath.. well fascinating i really admire ur work...hehehehe kip it up

@Tw1zzl3rs 10 лет назад

What plants were used in aquarium contestant no23? The one with the dragon stone. I would also like to know the substrate please

@BioAcuarios 7 лет назад

Precioso vídeo. Me encanta, la música es genial. Saludos!

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Do you keep Koi in an aquarium? How big is it? (both - Koi and the tank :) )

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

It's not a bonsai, it's aquarium plant Ludwigia brevipes wrapped around fragment of driftwood :)

@joydas4442 5 лет назад

I wonder how do they transfer these aquariums to the contest location from there home???!!!! What's the red plant on the driftwood tree??

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Sure you can :) I don't know what the result will be, but it's always worth trying :)

@ikhonestyles7051 9 лет назад

I'm from indonesia. And I wanna make like that. but I don't know where I can get the content of aquarium like stone, sand, trees and grass and anything about that...

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Easy - just take some stems of Ludwigia, put them on the driftwood, and wrap them around with some cotton or nylon thread. There is no "magic trick" behind this, just any method will work - as long as you provide the plant with good conditions for growing, and keep trimming it.

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

You're welcome, mate :)

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

It is constantly being asked ;) It's Ludvigia brevipes :)

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Meaning - tanks in the video are better? :)

@daleincisions 11 лет назад

how do you make those background look so photographically blurred? is that reflection of emission of the light? it looks like a blend of natural fresh green with white on it

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Cheers, mate! :)

@Hubrishumilityok 8 лет назад

Does anyone have more info on the tank at 1:29? Aquarium no. 21, 3rd place. I was thinking of doing something exactly like that, any tank similar in style (1 tree surrounded by "grass" surrounded by sand) would also do. I already have a tree, just need moss and will try to drystart dwarf-hairgrass.

@Cubano2031 8 лет назад

Great video,can you tell me where i can buy the soil and plants that you use for this tank,i really want to do my first natural plant fish tank,thank you

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Why can't you buy them...?

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Sure :) It's called "Journey of a lifetime" and is available through Royalty-Free(dot)Tv.

@aditi3211454 10 лет назад

good plants

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 10 лет назад

That's true :)

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Which tank do you mean?

@anantverma01 11 лет назад

thank you...really inspiring

@stevieandthebarbies 11 лет назад

Thanks - I think my old tanks are going to come out of the shed over the winter. Are these tanks normally kept open or is that just for the competition. Ii love the idea of open tanks so that you can from see all angles

@hetaliafanserviceplz 11 лет назад

What kind of aguatic plants would be good for a "grassy" kind if look? Java moss? And is there special kind of dirt? I really want to make some thing like this

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

But those tanks at the competition were not open at all... They all had hoods...

@retroBaizel 11 лет назад

What is the name of the music? it is so moving! I want it...

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Cheers, mate :)

@raymond9473 10 лет назад

So amazing art guys, could somebody tell me what the song name is? it's so interesting to me, thanks

@Yegrooooo 10 лет назад

I should be studying lol

@josemanuelbottinellig.8673 11 лет назад

How you plant on sand?! please teach me, I have an aquarium, but never like these

@fireblaze703 7 лет назад

hi in the third aquarium layout in the video there a red plant like a bonsai un can tell me the name of the plant please thanks

@mrchinee25 11 лет назад

and btw how the hell did he get that plant (Ludwigia brevipes) to stay on top of that wood? i'm curious to knw so that maybe i can give it a try.

@anantverma01 11 лет назад

aquarium no. 21 by G.W.Just is really amazing. can someone tell about it. which tree is that and how it can be grown..or is it artificial..

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

That's true - they are sort of simple design, yet very "elegant", so to say... :)

@mattrew2 10 лет назад

hi, do you know what sort of plant they used starting at 1:28 for the tree? I really want to do one similar to that

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 10 лет назад

It's Ludwigia brevipes :)

@theBioHouse 11 лет назад

Usually these kind of plants will not be sold at your local fish store. They are mostly sold via private sellers/growers. Look for your local planted tank forums, they always have trade/sell/buy going on there for rare plants and fish/inverts! plantedtank(dot)com is a popular one if you live in the USA.

@juanuch333 11 лет назад

Excellent job!, this video is awesome, every aquarium in this compilation is beautiful. By the way, can you share us the name of the song please??

@mrchinee25 11 лет назад

@ 1.26 whats the plant on the driftwood that makes it look soo bushy on top? thanks

@Flipperwi715 11 лет назад

Tree took my breath away

@tightflip 11 лет назад

This might have been asked before but what plant did they use on the tree at 1:25?? Thank you.

@almcloud 11 лет назад

Very nice, thumps up !

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Hej :) Sorrki za tak późną odpowiedź, nie zauważyłem Twojego pytania :) To drzewko to kawałek korzenia, z przyczepionymi łodygami ludwigii Ludwigia brevipes. Bardzo proste, a jaki fajny efekt! :)

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

"Oh tanks" what...? Or is it "OK, thanks"? (but I can't see any question of yours in the comments...?)

@sangoluvr9 11 лет назад

Do you know what size aquarium that is?

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

You can do it both ways - either buy it, or find it yourself :) The former is easier but more expensive, the latter is a lot of fun :)

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

It's just a fragment of driftwood, overgrown with Ludvigia brevipes. Everyone can do it :)

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Which one?

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Do you mean tank by Marcin Nowak? :) It's one of my fav tanks at this contest :)

@cermevez 11 лет назад

please explain how to attach ludwigia to the tip of that stem :S

@anantverma01 11 лет назад

thank you for inspiring videos. :)

@stevieandthebarbies 11 лет назад

Fantastic tanks, really inspired me to do something with an unused aquarium. What is large fern like plant at 5:20 (no 20, Jurijs Jutjajevs) please, also bright green plant centre at 5:52 (no 18, Christian Gaebler)

@Robbiekilljoy69 11 лет назад

Where do you get that tree

@MrJesper111 11 лет назад

can I use some other plants ?

@Dbreeze986 11 лет назад

Id like to learn how to do this... just amazing

@ineedmorenaruto 10 лет назад

does anyone know what plants are used in 1:31?

@safisoni7750 9 лет назад

nice job

@linconlalves6652 10 лет назад

You are going to college or be able to mount aquariums?

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

What do you mean by "to be able to connect"? Set up your channel, start making videos and upload them, and that's all. If you're good, and if you will keep doing this, after a year or two you will be in the same position as I'm now :)

@DefiniteAquascapeTV 11 лет назад

Hmmm, did you try Google "buying driftwood online"...? ;)
