Thank you. As a french, I knew aquadesigner, they do have a large choice of different stuffs. But I didn't know aquaterrien. Next time I'm in Paris, I won't forget to visit the shop. Best regards.

I would love to see you do a vampire crab paludarium! I think you would do an amazing job!

What a nice trip to France. Great items in both stores. Wow, all the selection of hardscape in the second store! Thank you MJ for taking us along. I love your shop tours.

Yeah, I´d love to see a vampire crab paludarium! Please!

@18:54 I have burnt wood before placing in the tank (allow time for hydrophobic exterior to become water logged) to speed up initial growth. Just like fire boosts growth in the forest, using burnt wood in the aquarium gives epiphytes a boost of carbon to get solid root systems established a little more quickly. Plus, lovely contrasts of bright green against black wood.

as an student my aquariums look like the second shop, i used to get very upset over the idea of getting my aquariums looking perstine that almost got me out of the hobby, now i enjoy some of the algae, it makes the scape looking more natural, well... it might be me trying to trick myself but it sure got me into the habby again. greettings and thanks for sharing!

Always nice to see you visiting stores, always fun to watch!

Thank you for bringing us along it was awesome, love it when you travel and check out new stores. So awesome to see how the hobby is in different parts of the world and not just in San Diego California

Aqua terrien had beautiful wood, and I love that low tech

Those fish that looked like CPDs where the Emerald dwarf rasbora, enjoy the fish store tours

Your idea with a Paludarium seems very nice! You should definitely try that out :) Keep up the good work MJ!!!

Thnx for the recommendation. I just bought a nano tank from Victor today in Aquaterrien/Paris. Can’t wait to get started

Thanks for taking us with you. Enjoyed the trip. Hard scape material in both stores was amazing!

Very nice video about those 2 interesting shops 👍🏻

Funny to see the shops i go to in one of your vlog haha hope i can bump into you next time !!

Nice vlog, MJ! Those Danios(at 17:25) come from the same original habitat with CBD. I remember they got two different color species, blue one and red one. I even saw some people bred their and CBD's offspring which is Blue CBD, very beautiful. In addition, the Parosphromenus you mentioned in 9:17. If the store owner want set up a biotope tank, that plant isn't the proper choice, any Cryptocoryne or no plant will be better.By the way, the sand also isn't proper, shloud be peat soil. And I remember I once recommended you to keep the bettas from Malaysia. Even though they're not a family group with Parosphromenus, they're both fun. At last, always love your video!!

Really nice to see those beautiful stores. I would have never seen those places if you didn't visit there and made a video about it I like the narration as well.... I think a Bonsai scape would be great addition...or maybe a terrarium...need to understand about the soil mixture etc....

You should definitely do a paludarium for crabs

I have an N scale train of the train you just rode and I got it in Paris. What a coincidence!😂😂

I'd love to know what plants are in that red scape, it's very beautiful.

Yes please for vampire crabs!

Looks like I’ll be taking the wife for a romantic trip to Paris soon 😂

Awesome video and amazing stores!! Such beautiful scapes!shapes!! I love seeing different aquascaping stores throughout the world!!! Love it!

You mentioned you were having issues maintaining CO2 in the big shallow. I have a similar tank with the same issue. My solution was to keep to CO2 on 24/7 with enough CO2 that the levels wouldn't drop once the lights came on. If the surface movement is high enough that the limiting factor for CO2 in solution is the rate of loss from the water surface. The lights coming on should not drop CO2 levels significantly enough to cause algae issues. I kept my drop checker solution a forest green color, rather than lime green for better fish health.

Welcome to my city ❤ Love your work and content !

Thank you so much for bringing us along!

21:50 They are literally Black Metal guppies. Sometimes I see them in a LFS.

I love those shops, I go there to buy any aquascaping thing:)

Absolutely incredible. We only dream of Stores like this in Toronto...

Thanks, beautiful video,nice shops.l love tank for crabs.

Mark on tour. Nice trip to france and good stores ... ❤️

Love it ! 😀 🇨🇵

You and I like these aqua trips, jij en ik houden van deze aquarium reizen 👍

Nice aquascape store at Paris 👍🏻

Bravo from Romania

Definitely do a vampire crab tank!!!

Great shops!

Hi from Australia thanks for showing us your tour. The second shop you showed using the chihiros lights confirms my theory.Every tank those lights were on had algae.I had the same problem using vivid 2 and could never get them right that’s why I got rid of them. Thanks again.

If you decide to do a vampire crab paludarium swing me a message. I have a bucket lód of them at the moment and can probably send you some. They are my specialty 😉 i have a ton of content on them. They are fun little critters

great

would be interesting to do a vampire crab set up.

love the UG tank. interesting the HC carpet is growing w/o ferts and just on RO water. - HOW?

nice video bro welcome to my country!

Are you gonna meet MD whilst he's on mainland as well?! That would be wicked !!!

Love the video!

If they don't have the time to maintain those display tanks I think they should shutdown some of them.. I'm not sure it's a good marketing move to showcase your products like that, especially when you run an aquascaping maintenance business like aquadesigner does.

Please make a paludarium with vampire crabs.

Store looks a bit messy but I think thats because its pretty new still.

Congrats in advance #100k

Love your videos MJ! Positive Feedback: Not sure what is up with your camera here, but it's kinda choppy and messing with my eyes a bit. Ha! Otherwise, I always look forward to more videos from you. Great Job.

So, when are we going to see you scaping an iwagumi/bonsai tank then ?

We thought aquascaping was your job XD!

The MDF on that racking will go mouldy over time in high humdity

Content idea. Diy liquid carbon vs brand name product. Showing the result and price difference would be interesting.

Love vids

THAT IS ALSO MY KIND OF AQUASCAPE. Top of my favorite Aquascapes by far. What's the name of its aquascaper???

👍👍👍😍😍😍

Does anyone knows the brand of the mettel skimmer by min 8:00?

👍👍👍👍

0:23 first time visiting France?

absoluut een paludarium doen! check Dr. Plants :)

MD is in Paris and so is mj…. Coincidence?

Це є дуже чудово!Бравіссімо! Як у вас в Європі вражаюче все поставлено.Дякую за ролик і за Вашу працю. Якщо у Вас буде час і бажання зайдіть на канал Биобокс Акватерра. Хай у Вас буде все добре.

First comment

i love the content, but any chance we could get like a sub channel with just aquarium content an none of the talking and extra stuff? respectfully i dont wanna watch a 15 min video with about 5 mins of aquarium content, respectfully because i still like the content
