I’m only 3 minutes in so far but had to pause to give you a shout-out for being the only person I’ve seen on RU-vid who pronounces “wendtii” correctly! Love your scapes and videos!

If you plant only the topmost part of the emersed stem plants, you can avoid a lot of decaying emersed leaves...

Great video, I think either lots of CPD's with pygmy corydoras would look really nice, or even a set up with dwarf gouramis would look great

Great follow up on the previous video. Can you please update us on this regularly on how you manage the tank from planting till its mature phase...it really helps most of us newbies

This looks great already! I can’t wait to see it as it grows in and you add the fish! I vote for Angel Fish 🐠

That inspirational tank is just next level!

Nice! Can't wait to see it fill in! For fish stocking, how about a few rams, some otos and corys, and then a huge school of Rummynose tetras?

That set up is looking so classy . I was looking forward to seeing this and I’m not disappointed. I would like to see angel fish in there

I love these videos man. Your style is so relaxing. I don't have the skill, patience (

You’re a goddamn artist man. Such attention to detail and perspective. Also in pt 1. Could use more vids like this focusing on the artistic side of aquascaping. Thnx

I'd love a quick video on how you do your water changes and the equipment you use in a bit more detail. I need a better way of doing it.

I don't know what kind of fish to suggest, but I do love to see a lot of small fish in a bigger aquarium. You can put a decent sized school of small fish in there. Also, that air pump is really nice! All the ones I have are noisy. I can't wait to see your aquarium after the plants grow in. It's going to be beautiful.

I've been running air at night for a few months on a low tech setup and it makes a huge difference on plant growth! Would love to see a variety of Rams added to this tank.

Can't wait to see the progress, please keep us posted on liquid fertilising

Looks awesome, hint never use actual fire to bend acrylic always use a heat gun you get easier better results

This one looks stunning.

New scape looks great! I also use an air pump running at night time when the lights are off I’ve noticed improvements since doing so for the past 6 months

Nice! I’m excited to see how this one develops!

Turned out really nice. Curuous how you will deal with the new tank situations. Angel fish would be beautifull or something from the amazon like these spitting fish. Anyway great tips for a newby like me and the air diffuser also a good tip.

I can't wait to see things grown in!

Can’t wait to watch it grow ❤

Awesome video 🎉 love the addition of the air pump for night time usage👍🏽

toen ik de nieuwe Oase Aquariums voor het eerst zag was ik verbaasd dat het aquarium over de rand van het hout stak ook een beetje angstig toen ik er zelf 1 in huis plaatste. maar wat een mooie aquariums vooral de Scaperline en al helemaal die jij nu hebt gemaakt prachtig. ik heb zelf de Styleline van Oase eindelijk na wat jaren zonder weer begonnen met de hobby klein beetje jou schuld hihihi nee hoor als je eenmaal besmet ben kom je er nooit meer vanaf. thanks voor je video's

Really beautiful aquascape! I love the hardscape and the triangular form of the scape! Such an inspiration! In our aquarium we have Diamond tetras, an amazing and beautiful fish that dosn't get huge. I'm excited to see this scape develope, best of luck :)

Great video. Enjoy your new tank

Forktail yellow rainbows would look great in your tank!

Very very nice high end setup👌👌👌

This looks great already! I think you've created a new favourite of mine (and many others) to replace the big shallow scapes. Well done 😊.

Looking good! Fish is a very personal preference, but in a tank like this maybe a more "coin-shaped" fish like Hyphessobrycon socolofi/rubrostigma (or something similar)? I filled my tank up today with a very minimalist setup (one stone and one piece of wood). I'm going to let it cycle in the dark for the coming 2 weeks, and after a short holiday I will adding plants. Still undecided about what fish to add after that, but probably either a type of Rasbora or Hyph. amandae. We'll see.

Looks really nice. Love the colours and the red of the spider wood really looks nice . Going to nice when all has matured and grown. 👌

Wasn't expecting this to be your next project, but that's what makes your channel so interesting

Ziet er weer goed uit benieuwd naar de ontwikkeling. Voor vis zou regenboogvissen er mooi in zijn.

I really like the hardscape...you nailed it with this one

You almost don't need a light screen for that tank background. Looks great already. Looking forward to seeing what you stock it with.

Beautiful scape

Beautiful tank! I really enjoy watching your process and how well you explain it - very helpful for those of us who are trying to learn. For the fish, I would go with a school of dwarf neon rainbows (Melanotaenia praecox) or diamond tetras (Moenkhausia pittieri).

Beautiful!

Beautiful tank! Looked good without the plants but even better with them. I'm interested to see if the added oxygen at night will make a difference

Looking good!!

a school of threadfin rainbows would be nice. apistograma pair, gold laser Cory's. and a few pencil fish. and gobies for algea eaters. Annie's gobies to be precise lol. but beautiful tank man. it's gonna look so good when it grows in. it's already amazing 👏

Adding air pump is quite interesting idea... Can't wait to see the result... Is it any different

Awesome! I thin white cloud minnows could look great in a setup like that.

Nice setup man ❤

Nice setup! I'm waiting to see how the plants evolves. I see lemon tetras in there, not too big, not too small.

Hallo MJ, Jou content is leerzaam en geeft mij inspiratie! Over 1 á 1,5 jaar ga ik zelf beginnen met mijn eerste aquarium sinds mijn tienerjaren (20-25 jaar geleden), ben nu al bezig met onderzoek en documenteren voor mijn nieuwe aquarium. Je heb er iig een volger bij!

My 55 gallon tank has a stupid amount of plants. I used 5 good size rocks (all same kind of stone ) and pieces of driftwood. I stocked it with 3 turbo snails , 10 dwarf corydoras , 3 bright red cherry shrimp , and I bought 2f and 1m of 7 color morphs of guppies as small fry. Now 3yrs later the guppies have made my tank look like a rainbow exploded.

Beautiful scape so vibrant great video

I had that co2 diffuser and enjoyed it at first. After about 6 months I realized that co2 was leaking out of micro holes in the location that I heated and bent it. Just keep an eye on it.

I would go for a group of Microdevario kubotai or Pseudomugil gertrudae, some Kryptopterus bicirrhis and a group of Caridina cantonensis "Tiger" (The ones without color). I really like the tank and i dont think that big or bright fish would suit it, thats why i would choose animals, that are rather hard to spot. They wont take away the attention from the layot, but add a nice touch. Oh, and obviously i love your work, cant wait to see how it will look in a month or two.

I love this detail talk about the planting process. I don't know what fish to suggest, but I think a school of small fishes would be very interesting. The type that swims actively together. Silver colour maybe?

Cool setup

amazing. You did a great job

I really like how you have set this tank up and are prepared to see plants develop. Not over-planted from day 1. I’m really looking forward to seeing how this develops. When you were doing the substrate (video 1) did I see you add root tabs? I would love to see 6 classic angle fish in here with some dither fish (tetras) of some kind. Whatever you go with it will look great.

I must say you have made a really Beautiful aquascape, it looks absolute phenomenal I absolutley love those cryptocoryne wendtii Compact it is a beautiful plant in the correct spot which absolutely you nailed it, so dis you with the Lagenandra meeboldii red it looks absolutely awesome. And for the fish i would absolutely vote for a nice school of celestial pearl danios because that would mean a beautiful aqua scape with some absolutely beautiful fish complementing it. Can’t wait to see what you go for🤩

The scape is super cool. manacapuru Angels fish will look nice 👍🏼

Awsome set up

Loving the scape! I really enjoy your videos so much inspiration. I think rummy nose rasboras would look great in there. Black neon tetras would also look really good with all that green. I would say try dwarf rainbows like Gertrudea.

What a great looking tank, and i look forward to seeing more once its grown in. As for fish what about a few honey gourami (Trichogaster chuna)!!

Very very very nice

Nice new Aquascape 👍🏻

Awesome scape reminds me of ur last tank u built as a show case aquarium

Somehow I missed the scaping video, tank is going to look incredible in a few months, looking forward to the updates.

cherry barbs and lampeye

Fishtank looks awesome sir 😊

My guy Mark 👊🤝

It'd be stunning with discus in it... 😅 happy fish keeping!

You are great bro👏

Ik hope to see how the aquarium evolves from here on, to see what stages it goes through as you didnt perform the darkstart method this time. But very well done (Mooie bak !)😁

Hey Mj, i love the scape ❤ it would be cool, if you would make a video where you go over the whole setup, aquarium and technik, and tell us how much it would cost, in total 😊 it's my dream setup, my dream aquarium 😍

Mooie scape, weer genoeg ideeën opgedaan. Voor vissen vind ik zelf de danio soorten mooi.

Goedemorgen dit is de eerste keer dat ik een flog van u zie. Klopt het dat u van Nederlandse afkomst bent. Mooie aquarium trouwens. Groetjes van Dirk

I stumbled across this channel randomly, and my god I was blown away by the quality of the aquariums and the ease of maintenance. So much so I couldn't resist starting a small planted project. I've already bought almost everything with the exception of lighting, that's my biggest problem of not knowing what to buy. Can you give me some advice? The aquarium is going to be a 35x35x35 cube, I want to have carpet of Montecarlo or Parvula. I want to have plants in a red tone, in your experience what is the best light for this small project? Thanks

I never liked the idea of raising the lily pipe for night time airation since it produces a lot of noise. The little air pump together with a neo air diffusor suits my needs much better. Pls let us know if the air bubbles can break surface films (thus rendering skimmers unnecessary for nano tanks).

I would love to see some white skirt tetras!

Although the tank is big you need a siamese fighter or 2 in there

beautiful setup! Would love to see some fish that form strong schools

Tiger barb definitely 😁

Mj I'd like to see you do a series where before you tear down a scape you try to grow as much algae as possible and then show us how you treat it and return the scape it it's prior algae free state. Maybe remove live stock then over dose ferts leave lights on long no co2 all that stuff as much algae as possible and then begin the battle.

Rummynose Tetra would be great ❤

Neon tetras😊

A surface skimmer would do a better job with aeration especially at night.

Please make a video on how you manage the flow of co2 in the tank

massive shoal of celestial pearl danios!

Great tank, for fish recommendation mabey some barbs like albino cherry barb, checker barb, odessa barb or tetras, like rosy, black phantom etc

Hi MJ great video as usual 😁 i think Galaxy rasbora or lemon tetra will be a good choice for your new tank 😁😉 Regards

Not sure how I feel about using a small ceramic diffuser for such a large tank. I think you would get a lot more efficiency out of a reactor setup or in-line diffuser. Could work though, because you don't have that much surface agitation, so not much gas exchange. But the CO2 cannister will still get depleated a lot faster than it would with an In-line diffuser or reactor. One thing I am a little bit worried about is if you plan to add Neocaridina shrimp. They really like well oxygenated waters. If you do not have surface agitation, not sure how well they might do with CO2. I like the information you shared about what they do in the ADA gallery with the lily pipe. Personally I use bowl type lily pipes which ensure really good surface agitation all the time, so I don't need an air pump.

Super👍😁

Striped Kuhli loaches for bottom dwellers!!!

Maybe some beautiful discus fish, along with a bunch of schooling tetras?

Wow, that must have been at least £250 worth of plants. Great choices. So glad you're doing a dwarf hairgrass carpet in this set up. How many pots did you end up using? I love that your ADA inspiration is basically a Dutch style scape, very you. It looks great already, will be nice to see this one mature. Beautiful aquascape and set up. 👏😍

Looks cool. I think the aeration is too long, it may affect the PH too much. 😉

Don't forget to add the details for the air diffuser you used, for the air pump setup Or can we use a normal CO2 diffuser?

You should do like 30-40 Galaxy Rasboras and a pair of Apistograma agazzisii and kulii loaches like 6-7 it would be awesome ti just keep a certain species and not mix a bunch up like everyone out there that has like 4-6 different species just because they have a larger tank

looks amazing !!!!!! can you tell me what system are you using for water changes ?

U should use slowgrowing moss if u are planing of keeping the tank for more than a year imo. Because u cant rly keep the moss on one spot even if u use a filter with sucktion while trimming .😅😅

For freshwater aquascape, what colors do you use regarding your lights? Mine offer all the primary colors but I am currently heavier on the blue light as my tank is salt and coral prefer this. I will be converting to freshwater very soon and wondered about the lighting color spectrum you use. Thank you

Hey I love your videos and you inspired me to finally have my own scaped aquarium! What glue product did you use for your moss? :)

❤

Could you add the air supply to the CO₂-piping with a T-connector and use the same diffuser since you'll turn the O₂ on when the CO₂ turn off?
