The tank has to clear up a little, but all in all I think it turned out really well. As I said in the video I document the my care/maintenance routine from here out to give you an idea of what I do with a tank like this. If you have any additional stocking ideas, let me know!
you never disappoint! your artistic eye and mind will only grow with each project and your attention to even the littlest of detail is unmatched. you are an amazing artist, and thank you for sharing your work and talent with us.

Personally I think this is one of your best set ups until now.I love the way you structured the wood from left to right and the plants are just right to this composition.I don’t know too much about fish but black skirt tetras would maybe fit.
It would be really cool to see a video of you doing maintenance on all your enclosures. I only have 3 aquariums and the maintenance stresses me out sometimes - I can't imagine how much work all of yours are!
I just discovered your channel after giving bonsai another try. I was watching bonsai vids then the algorithm directed me towards one of your terrarium vids. So far I've watched at least 20 lol. You inspired me to give terrariums a go! After purchasing a bunch of stuff to get started I've already completed my 1st being a native San Diego plant enclosed version. All plants collected where I've been hiking lately and creating a scene reminiscent of this oak tree/ boulder drainage that I love. I too have always loved nature, the outdoors, exotic pets, lately photography etc. Anyway, thanks for your awesome content!👊🏼
This is my favorite hardscape that you have done! The way the branches twist around the rock makes it look like an ancient artifact swallowed by nature. 💕
I actually have like 20-30 Red eye tetras in my 55 and theyre extremely skittish. I've tried making a bigger school and adding hiding places and such to make them more outgoing but as soon as I approach my tank they all dart to cover. I have cherry barbs and corys with them so I'm not sure if I need something more outgoing as a dither but thats my personal experience with red eye tetras. I love watching them feed from 6 feet away but boy are they skittish.
@@travmendoza Red eyed tetras are really quite consistent in terms of size, around 2.5-3 inches assuming they're healthy animals. I agree that this is too large for the setup considering their activity level and schooling needs. Something like glowlights, or even bloodfin tetras, would achieve a similar look while staying appropriate for the tank size.
this is REALLY the first time that I heard the word "dictate" and it is the perfect word for it!! this is the best explanation of how to set-up a nano scape
Kuhli loaches would love this planted setup with tons of places to hide! I loved my Kuhlis. I was only sad that they hide most of the time, but then they come out they always instantly melt my heart :) but perhaps I did something wrong (I kept them a very very long time ago, and I was definitely not an aquarium expert at age 12 yet). Please let me know if you don't have the 'hidden Kuhli problem', and how you got them to be outgoing. Because I'm planning a new aquascape and I'm seriously considering to get some Kuhlis again. But I just want them to be happy!!
First off, can I just say how amazingly talented and sightful you are to create all these masterpieces of life!!! Also, wondering that because this is almost a year to the date how this tank is doing. I've had tanks before but have always wanted a fully planted natural aquascape like this. Seeing that you haven't used CO2 for this setup is refreshing as well, because it is an extra I cannot pocket at the moment.
For catching fish, when I know I'm going to need to, I just use a water bottle with the top cut off and inverted to fit snug. I put a tiny piece of food in it then place it in the tank. The fish swim in but not so easily out. It works especially well with smaller aquariums.
Love the way the hardscape looks! I would add some Pathos cuttings to the hang-on filter, helps with the filtration and would look nice "climbing" on the stand. ❤️
I'd love to see some African dwarf frogs, but I think it would be hard to feed them in such a densely planted tank. Some dwarf crayfish might look nice, if they're compatible!
I wish that we were next door neighbors, or cousins or something, so that I could go look at your tanks sometimes/alot--- haha. I wouldn't mind having a tank or two myself, like I use to. But I couldn't handle anything on the scale that you achieve. Thanks for sharing your fantastic talent and love for aquatic life.
Tanner, watching you work is visual poetry. Your meticulous attention to detail and encyclopedic knowledge are incredibly gratifying to see in action. Watching you work is mesmerizing, your builds are glorious. I am a paludarium enthusiast, and though I have had a bio-active setup for years by happy accident, I now have the information that I need to make my new build truly perfect for my dart frogs. Thank you for using the specific names of plants and micro-fauna, it makes employing knowledge gained from watching you so much easier for us!
A small group of Pygmy corydoras would be amazing. I love those little guys and have a group of my own in my tank. It would be awesome to see one of my favourite nanofish in one of your setups
I had a peacock eel in one of my tanks for quite a while.He liked to wrap himself in and around the plants so you couldn't always see where he was but when he decided to take center stage he seemed magical.
How about some "Moskitorasbora brigate" They wood bring a really nice red touch in to the Scape 🐟🐠 I also hold them together with "Mikrorasbora Kubotai"
I love the new danio tank.🐟🐠 The enclosure looks allot better. My favourite part is the passion of the stones, driftwood and plants🌿🪴🌱🌴🌳🌾. Bye and peace ✌️✌️✌️
Hey Tanner, I would like to let you that fluval stratum and seachem flourite are not good planted tank substrates. both contain virtually no nUtRiEnTs, flourite is glorified gravel, stratum only makes the water slightly acidic and crumples into a powder very fast. eco-complete is inert but has high cation exchange capacity (cec) so as long as you dose heavily with ec you're fine
You created such a beautiful scape without high-tech equipment. With these low-light plants, I imagine the tank should be relatively easy to maintain. I like what you said, "I am letting the materials to tell me how I should scape it." Very inspirational.
I just love it. Though if I were you I will put a little more current for better nutrient distribution and also add some ottos to help the cleaning regime. Nice setup!
I am right in the middle of a low-tech 10g build right now and this gave me such inspiration and ambition for how to continue! Thanks, your videos are always so great.
You really nailed this aquarium with the hardscape; I think there is no way you could do this better! With such a good hardscape layout the beautiful plants are like the icing on a cake. Well done.
You might consider adding cherry barbs. They're a somewhat larger nano fish. I have some in a 5 gallon with guppies and neons. Everyone gets along and the male cherries especially are a good pop of color.
Probably the greatest tank build video I have ever seen! I love how you mentioned you let the materials tell you how you should scape but with your idea in mind. the flow of this design and hardscape tho 👏 and the finishing touches with the sand and gravel 🔥Ember tetras combo with Kubotai is a sweet color constrast, it pops like crazy!
I also love planted setups with ember tetras, I'm planning one for myself at this moment too. The orange/red just colors so good with all the green and they stay so small!
Im currently setting up a 75 gallon. When I saw what your using it was crazy!! Because it's identical almost to my setup! I have about 100# of Pagoda Stone, a TON of Mopani wood! And I used Fluval Stratum with EcoComplete Black. This was my only difference. I also used an egg rate down on the bottom. I never could find any videos of anyone using Pagoda Stone. So it's cool to see! Wish i could post a pic of my tank.
Oh yeah. I also used pea gravel too. I'm actually going to go look for that gravel you used instead. My color is right but it's smooth rock so it doesn't blend with the Pagoda Stone well. What gravel is that you are using? The contractor grade?
Yeah, after witnessing the destructive nature of crawfish I would only recommend them as solitary inhabitants. And they don't seem to like heavily planted tanks, clearing and redecorating (not to mention eating) at will.
Crayfish like to rest in a spot out of the water from time to time. If one isn't provided, you'll find them crawling on your floor one day, even if the tank is covered. And crayfish would absolutely destroy the plants in this tank.
I missed what size the aquarium was, but you could put some guppies in for some colour. A snail would also work, unless you have plants they love to eat. Some corydora would also add to the bottom. Panda cory's stay pretty small and tolerate similar temp to danios as far as I know, and have great personality to add to bottom interest. You may be able to put a betta if the tank is big enough so it doesnt get territorial, or maybe some gourami. I think honey gourami are lovely.
School of Glowlight tetras 👍 will surely blend in. I'm a fan here from the Philippines and now got my own low tech setup for my 6G tank. Very thankful on your videos. Keep it up, stay safe and peace😁
This is (to me obv) one of your best works man. Damn. Even just the colour contrast dark/light is just perfect. The more you go on the better you get. Incredible. Thank you and compliments
I have corydoras babrosus in my nano tank and they are so fun to watch, definitely a favorite to watch. I think Black Pearl Killifish, Dwarf Rainbowfish, or Peacock Gudgeon might be a neat centerpiece fish, too, that would get along with your current stocking well.
Tanner, I absolutely love your vids, you are a true artist. Plus your slow methodical methods of showing every step in the process (plus your production values esp lighting/camera work) are some of what makes you so watchable. But..... As a long time tropical, cichlid, salt fish and reef keeper, I feel you leave out some real critical details (from the 3 dozen I've seen, maybe I just missed it). One, it seems some if not most, your tanks, dont have lids. Unless you keep it REAL humid in that room you must hafta add a ALOT of water on an almost daily basis which helps keep water clean as the contaminants precipitate out. As such, I cant believe you dont have an RO or DI. If you do, please comment on system. Two, I've also never seen you even mention a heater. Its difficult to believe you can keep your live stuff (fins and reps) without at least pretty good temp control esp in winter unless you keep your house 75F or more which some people like I guess. Three, as your biological fish waste loads are really low, have you tried a NO filter biological tank? I actually got to where one of my salt fish tanks used nothing but live sand and power heads which reversed direction to mimic tides and had great results. And in your freshwater tanks, I also have seen no comments about adding small power heqads just to keep water moving which is SO, SO critical in almost any setup. Last, re costs. I'm as cheap as anyone and also shop walmart, lowes and home depot clearance racks but please comment on your plant costs. I cant get anywhere near what you get sometimes. It would cost me $150 - $200 just for the plants you use given the wide variety of stuff you come up with. Rest of the hobby materials, you make GREAT use of cheap stuff, find really creative ways to use it. Thanks keep up vids, I actually subscribed which I seldom do.
Celestial Pearl Danios would keep the scale and add a pop of color that stands out. Plus they will fill the lower third of the tank that is currently unused.
Very well designed it’s great. I wouldn’t have put the crypt in there. I use that one as well and often it’s runners are found. You should put a bamboo shrimp in there. I suggest the blue one.
I've never seen anyone mix Fluval Stratum with any other substrate. I was planning on layering my substrate, but I was worried about the smaller top layer seeping thru the larger Stratum layer. Mixing the two seems to be just as good. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Galazy Rasbora are my favorite nano fish. It think they'd look great here and go well with other Rasborra's. Another great build, can't wait to move out of my 10 m^2 room and start my own aquarium room!
I think a little water wheel would b perfect somewhere n there 😊 it’s just beautiful Tanner! Trying to think if u have another I like more than that one 🤷♀️
Those kubotai rasbora are awesome fish however they really do better when there is some flow. I have them in my 55 gal and I would lose 1 here and there until I bumped up the Gph to 1000. Mind you it's a very heavy planted tank so the flow diffuses quickly, however they are always in the flow and live with a school or orange hatchet danios who like flow but not to the extent the rasbora do. You will see them purple when they are happy😁. I'd suggest adding a power head or having another tank in mind for the rasbora
I wish I could build something like this to look at in my house, so incredibly beautiful. Your build quality and attention to minor details is unmatched, keep up the amazing work!
Hey Tanner! Would you consider making and documenting the building of a low-light vivarium/paludarium? Not just something that's typically shady, but something truly low-light, like a heavily shaded nook in a forest pool or even a cave entrance environment? Thanks!
I think micro fish are definitely the way to go. Galaxy Rasbora, Scissortail Rainbow Fish. Both have vivid colours when they are mature, but stay small.
Green-striped rasbora, corydoras pygmaeus or habrosus are great nano fishes. For that scape I would personally choose pygmaeus corys, they are good mid water column swimmers and would add a brightness to the water column, that would offset the large amount of dark wood.
I was thinking of fish to add that could live with shrimp in a nano. Thought of rasbora (you already have them) and Killi clown fish, which are too small to eat adult shrimp and would be a great addition I think !
