This is truly another masterclass of high end aquascaping! Enjoyed every single minute, highly inspiring and very educational. Thank you very much Philip for granting spectacular insights behind the scenes and for sharing your thoughts and concepts behind this layout. And if course, thanks Jurijs for sharing this!
I see that a lot of people don't appreciate diorama style. I'm new to aquascaping so I don't fully understand why people don't like this setup. I think it looks really beautiful and something I would try to replicate or have in my house tank. Also what a beautiful store, I wish I had aquascaping stores like this where I live. Truly am jealous
Great video, awesome and very detailed tank. Really enjoyed having Philip talk at great length about his diorama aquascape as it was very interesting and he gave some great tips. Beautiful shop, definitely hope to visit one day
@@JurijsJutjajevs my pleasure! And I'm trying to adapt the art of aquascaping to a kind of aquas-poor-scaping😁: woods and stones collected in the wild, homemade CO2, substrate with a inert layer; and buying just the plants.
This was a very beneficial 'Pro Tip' packed video. Thank you both Jurijs & a special thank you to Philip. I look forward to your next visit to Liquid Nature/Philip :)
Leave it to the Austrians and Germans to synthesize all of this art and science and come up with these beautiful aquariums. I was fortunate to be able to visit Vienna and I was overwhelmed. Even these neighborhoods where this shop exists are very nice. Keep up the good work Liquid Nature. Ausgezeichnet und vielen dank.
I had this crazy idea to start my new aquarium with no lights and plants and now i am hearing it from an expert. In fact I contemplate on how to proceed with the scaping and this guy is like speaking loud my ideas. I am so happy i am not crazy and the solutions i came up with in my mind for creating a successful aquarium worked for someone else, especially when we talk about competitional level.
Hi Jurijs, great informative video. Philip is a real artist,great sense of depth and scale. Not a massive fan of dioramas, but this one does have something that appeals to me. Philip’s explanation of the set up process and maintenance was very good and clearly explained. I wish them all good luck with the new store. All the best,Martin
Stunning scape, I have a whole new appreciation for diorama design. I Learbed a lot about drift wood scales. Love the suggestion to let wood aquarium cycle a couple weeks implanted with filtration and no lights.
i'm really thinking of doing my first diorama tank. This video was inspiring and overwhelming at the same time. I am going to start most likely with a nano tank. Thanks for the knowledge and will be following your videos to learn more!
Nature Aquarium is the winner for me, but I appreciate the skill and clever techniques to create the enhanced sense of scale and depth that many people use in this style and this is something to be emulated in the Nature Aquarium style.
Great video. I am doing a very challenging high-tech aquascape at the moment. I have a mountain made of seiryu stone in a 1ft by 3ft tank and I too am looking at the same challenges when it comes to creating multiple perspective points that create a great dioramma. The advice he gave in the interview was quite outstanding, and I enjoyed the video. Mosses that do not attach, moving rocks, and the use of larger foreground planting, brown shrimp and avoiding slime - were all excellent points and great tips. I was surprised to see how the background lighting was achieved.
Sooo educational. Love the detailed explanations of maintenance, initial setup for lighting / water changes, dosing regimen and parameters. I’m battling algae in my setup so this super helpful!
Ein wirklich tolles Aquarium. Ich finde es immer wieder bewundernswert wie es gelingt diese Tiefenwirkung zu erzeugen, trotz dieser winzigen Tiefe von nur 40cm. Ich glaube in ein paar Jahren, wenn meine kleinen Zwerge nicht mehr ständig mitgestalten wollen, wage ich mich auch mal an ein Diorama heran [und sofern ich noch ein weiteres Aquarium aufstellen darf] ;)
Once I took a glance at this wonderful scape in one of your previous videos, I immediately wished for more information. Thanks a lot for doing so much for the community, as a newbie I really appreciate what you are doing. This is a beautyful tank and a true inspiration!
This is remarkable. Stunning scape. Love all the petite plants on the ground . It's like looking into a deep Forrest. I'm not a big fan of using so much moss on the branches though. I like seeing the wood.
Jurijs wow. Thanks for sharing these awesome scapers with us. Extremely insperational although diaramas is something I will never try myself. I'm just too impatient to wait for the scape to evolve and grow into what it was intended to look like.
I love the left side of the tank. Looks natural and wild. It's a bit of a clash of styles happening in the middle right that looks confused and out of place with the large open space and mountain style colliding with the forest style. Also, that line of uprights branches on the right looks a bit too formulaic and a thing we have seen too much of. It sounds like I'm critical but it's a very well executed scape. Clearly a talented and dedicated young man.
Wow guys, that's a really nice scape. Philip did a great job. You are both stunning artists. :) I have a question for you Jurij. Maybe you can help me. For a week now I have had a drystart with a hardwood root i found. And i have a solid mold form on this. I'm already scraping off and spraying with cinnamon water. But it keeps coming back. What would you do? I'm already thinking of glueing my mosses and buces and just flooding the tank. But actually I wanted to sit it out for a few weeks. I would appreciate an idea.
Jurijs....can you please make a video on lean dosing techniques...there seems to be so many parameters to consider in this type of dosing....unlike the Estimative index style...
If you take the time for 3 weeks setting up the hardscape, what is about the soil and substrates in it?Do you have to get it wet or smthg or do you leave it alone in an open aquarium with no water or something else?
Philip Schwarz said he used superglue and "secret filter"(?) To create a strong bond when gluing wood pieces together. Can anyone elaborate? What is this "secret filter"? (If that is what he's saying). Anyway, a pretty rare detailed insight into the procedure and thought behind a great scape. Much appreciated.
He is actually saying "sigaret filter" so no real secret there. You can buy big bags of (unused) sigaret filters really cheap. If you break open a filter you get a sort of dense floss, put that inbetween the two pieces of hardscape you want to glue together and drip on some super glue, the filter will act as a filler for the glue. and makes a really strong connection between two randomly shapep pieces. You can even add a sprinkling of baking soda before you add the glue to get an expanding effect and really fill the gaps!
Hey Jurijs, ich habe mal zwei Fragen zum EAPLC und ich hoffe du kannst mir weiter helfen. 1. Frage: Ich habe nichts über ein Mindestalter gefunden, gibt es da eins, oder kann jeder teilnehmen und die 2. Frage ist, ob zu der Paludarium-Kategorie auch Vasen zählen, die einen sichtbaren Land und Wasserteil haben, oder muss es ein Aquarium sein bzw. eine bestimmte Literanzahl haben? Vielen Dank schonmal im vorraus :) Und falls das der Philip ließt, kann ich nur sagen, hammer Aquarium. 😊
Wir haben kein Mindestalter beim EAPLC, aber wenn ein Minderjähriger gewinnt, muss ein Erziehungsberechtigter den Gewinn entgegen nehmen oder dabei sein. Die Vase wäre nach aktueller Einteilung paludarium
Anyone have any comments regarding what he said about only having filter sponges for biological media because solid media consumes ferts? It's the first i've heard anything like that.
you have people who use massive biological filter media and dose more, and you have other people who almost remove filter media, or only use mechanical filtration inside the canister filter because as for biological filtration water changes and biomass inside your aquarium can do the job if the aquarium is stocked and dosed with nutrients accordingly. both works ;)
@@JurijsJutjajevs : Cheers mate....really enjoying your contents lately....you've really been keeping things very interesting. I am sure it must be extremely hectic....considering your very active lifestyle...😊 Love your pro tips series... If i may....would you consider making a "Plant Species" series? Meaning your tips on how to grow a particular species of plant....how to place it in a way that it would look amazing in an aquascape, the plants growth needs as per your experience etc...? I am sure there are many who would love to hear it from you
Ein Urgrossvater kam von Innsbruck. Ein Tyroler! But if he saw me keeping an aquarium, he would think I was crazy! Und ein anderer Urgrossvater von Dusseldorf and he would probably say it's OK!!!
