How to keep an aquascape low maintenance? It all comes down to four things.
Dennerle sells two identical tanks with different packaging. Both tanks are below:

This feels like an asmr video

@strict89 6 лет назад

yes, and you're lucky if whispering makes you relaxed, because it is not so for everyone.

@ivanclark2275 6 лет назад

It’s almost unlistenable for me. I want the information but it’s like nails on a chalkboard.

@protopigeon 5 лет назад

sounds a bit like babish to me.

@JaguarAudio 5 лет назад

Apparently, before you post a RU-vid video you're supposed to poll everyone as to how they prefer you speak into the microphone, otherwise risk offending many of them. The Internet sure attracts a lot of people who feel the constant need to take a dump on someone else's doorstep. Very nicely produced video.

The internet feels so starved of clam and informational content. THIS is a breath of fresh air! You've made a RU-vid video feel like a podcast and I love it so much. Thank you for info, the inspiration, and a quiet 5 minutes to relax to. Please coordinate a collab with the wonderful Rachel O'leary because you two would be incredible together!

Not only is the Aquarium a beautiful work of art. The quality of your video is one of the best I've seen when it comes to Aquascaping/Aquarium videos. Fantastic editing and great shots.

@bobcarter6483 6 лет назад

I really look forward to your videos, they feel so “zen” but with the added bonus of learning something new. Thank you so much!

@AleMaia 5 лет назад

This tank is simply amazing. In my opinion, one of the best aquascape I’ve ever seen

@paulconway2051 6 лет назад

Really appreciate this kind of video. Good clear information delivered in a calm voice with unobtrusive background music. Please do your substrate comparison video, it's so important to get the substrate right and would be great to see what results you get.

@tNag556 6 лет назад

I was all about all fancy and populated aquariums, but from some time I started to appreciate the beauty of these nano aquascapes! I also like the paludariums. Started building some "ecospheres" with local materials, but I feel like I want to step up my game now. I'll be watching your videos and gathering ideas!

@grandexandi 6 лет назад

ive been obsessively watching every aquascaping video on youtube for the last three months and this one is my favorite.

@bobt5403 5 лет назад

One of the nicest tanks I have seen. Also your narration is spot-on, very relaxing which goes with the tank/video.

@AmaPeel 6 лет назад

Love the scape with the petrified wood and of course enhanced by the Espe's! I have the same Dennerle (I'm in Canada) system and agree wholeheartedly with your assessment and recommendation...an excellent tank to scape with that footprint and the light is excellent. I replace the internal filter for a HOB but other than that without CO2, no problems. Thanks again for sharing and keep up the great vids.

@zerosurvs6949 6 лет назад

"There's no way I pronounced that correctly" that made me lol. I'm thinking of starting an aquascape myself soon. Nice video!

@travellife08 6 лет назад

This is such an excellent video. Especially how you started w/CO2 and then weaned the plants off it. The petrified wood is gorgeous, the soft edges and colors. Thank you.

@CoffeeGyrl666 6 лет назад

Love the tank and the soft calm content. Very relaxing. I like that you don't use Co2 because I just don't have the time for it and its nice to see planted tanks without it.

@ChristiMacPhersonGamer 4 года назад

Thanks for this. I’ve been obsessively researching before I set up my first proper scape (I’ve kept fish for 30 years but not been a plant enthusiast until recently), and I couldn’t understand why folk use CO2 indefinitely instead of just at the start. Now you’ve shown me that it’s possible, and for me at least, beneficial, to just start it off with CO2 and then wean it. Now I can experiment =)👍

@josemontalvo4532 5 лет назад

Amazing tank! One of the best tanks I ever seen! Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed watching! Cool music too! By the way, the whispering is fine, don’t sweat it!

@anguswolffe6692 6 лет назад

Gorgeous aquascape. I love how you used the petrified wood vertically to resemble cliffs. I have lots of pet. wood, but it looks awkward in my tank, never thought to use it this way. I'll definitely be trying it on my next setup. Thank you

I really like your videos, I watched the Rachel oleary fish room tour video and was so impressed first with her and her seemingly ceaseless energy and creationism(using that word in my own creative way) but then I was just so taken by the production quality of that video and I've been watching a lot more of your content. I have a busy life and really find it calming to melt into your world, you also have a very relaxing voice.. Anyway keep doing what you're doing it's really awesome and I appreciate it

@susischuchard705 6 лет назад

I appreciated seeing the post-competition tank and how you have kept it thriving. I always wonder how (or if) they hold up in the long run. Most any tank can look fantastic for a few days, but most of us need to create something that will stand the test of time. You know what they say..."Pretty is as pretty does." And this is scape truly "does"!! Also, please ignore the nay-sayers and change nothing regarding your tone and style of commentary. It's so refreshing, allowing the brain to clearly process the information.

Nice tank and nice video. Good shots, good narration and good editing. Seems like you not only know about planted aquariums but you also know about video production. I think I may copy what you've done here (tank, plants, fish and invertebrates) for my first attempt at a planted aquarium.

I’m a new sub and I’m really struck by this scape, I haven’t seen anything quite like it. You’ve also convinced me to go with Dennerle but I’m UK based so can’t help you out purchasing through your links. Keep up the amazing, high quality videos.

I'm happy you enjoyed the tank enough to look into getting it. It looks really sleek on my desk, so I'm a fan. No worries about not using my links! Glad you subscribed!

@ladyhawke858 6 лет назад

Lovely tank, you have given me such inspiration. Restarting a small 6 gallon tank and going thru cycling but am taking my time with the planning of it. I agree about the CO2. It made my plants grow out of control and once I removed it, the plants "calmed" down. Great advice. Thank you.

@rayonrayon 5 лет назад

Watched this video over a dozen times and it's still mesmerizing -- the uniquely soothing scape, the health of the plants, the fact that its non-co2 and that its shockingly ultra low maintenance, and your classy NPR anchor-like voice. But Alex, man, please do make another follow up video and give us your secrets! Tell us how long you used the c02 and how you weened it off. Show the cutout where you hid the corner filter, and is there a heater? Do you have early photos of you scaping the tank (fluval stratum only or did you use root tabs at the start)? When you change water 25% to 50% every 3-4 weeks, is that when you test it, or do you test it more often than that?

@TankTested 5 лет назад

Unfortunately I broke down the tank about six months ago! You can see the tank on its first day of existence at the 2017 ReefAPalooza video Dustin made. I have a bit more info on this setup on my website, tanktested.org. I wish I had taken more photos and documented the process more.
