India's Largest | Private Nature Aquarium | What goes into building it | Signature Series by Adip 

I am not an expert, infact just a beginner...but I feel the potentials of a 5m tank was spoiled with the initial set up. There is no essence or perspective. Looked like a meager tank with rocks and plants slotted in randomly. For such a huge set up, there were no proper differentiation of height.. could have easily created some caves, "hills", and so on to have a better perspective. And the pebbles being arranged like tiles on the foreground is so poorly thought... nature is never well arranged. Beauty in imperfection. And the tank after a year I suppose grew some wood and such? 😆 Great effort but please do not claim to have done the biggest and best in India when you don't have your claims verified

This is the true example that proves highest technology, highest products, and money can not create a nice scape. first you need a vision.

I have to agree with RT Gaming. The stone arrangement is weak. I would have expected better fish for something this large. All in all, underwhelming.

Please note: the following is not intended as hate. It is purely my opinion on what I think was lacking in hopes that the next project can be even better. The initial hardscape and planting to be honest was underwhelming. It was initially a weak iwagumi layout (lacking depth and a story). I don't understand how it took 5 days to create a scape so lacking in depth and a story. post initial build it looks as if someone decided to throw some driftwood in the tank and fashion epiphytes to create some depth and perspective. This is not ADA quality 😑 I understand this is a huge step forward for Indian aquascaping however in my opinion whoever was tasked with this scape, was not technically prepared for a tank and scape this big.

Half of the commenters here didn’t watch the video till the end, watch the last 2 minutes. This aquarium looks amazing!

A very bad copy of Florestas submersas...The foreground is so bad!

You have the duty to think for yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!

All is well! However, no information on the type of tank-build, all materials/products used to set it up, including the base / table / cabinet structure. For example : *How the entire 5 mtr structure was conceptualised? What efforts and planning went behind it? *The strength of the base to hold the tank dimensions and its weight. *Types of rocks and the base used to support them. * Types of Substrate and quantity used. *Total no. of plant species used and it’s quantity, and the uniqueness and importance of them. * Types and amount of driftwood used. *Details about the filtration system used; any new innovative methods developed or retained existing systems? Other than Anubias covered pvc pipes. *Types of fertilisers used. *Ph levels and temperature of local water and it’s moderation throughout the year, in comparison with citywide corporation water. *All species of animals considered along with some idea behind having such a combination of animals, like micro and macro bacteria, fish, shrimps, snails, etc. *More details of the lights used and it’s importance. *And an introduction of all the team members and their contributions from a hobbyist / enthusiast perspective. *An approximate cost which went into making such a grand setup happen. There are some more points one could think of, but just wanted to share that everything matters. This production could reach professional level if such details are openly shared on social media. Only adds to the credibility of ADA, and all it’s proud customers who use their products in this hobby. 🙏

If you're an artist, you cannot be a successful business man selling people glass boxes with plants and fish. If you're a wise businessman, you lack the creative mind of an artist, but you make enough money to buy a fancy SUV. That's just how most businesses in India work. Kudos to them for making money in such an offbeat business.

Beautiful end result. Initially the setup looked so basic but over 1year it has just transformed so well. Would have loved to see some hardscape too in this setup. But great effort.

Intresting that the haven't used any driftwood in aquarium

Great work 🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I think it would benefit from a showcase fish. Maybe a school of angel fish or something along those lines.

Maintenance of this tank would be dam too difficult. I think a person need to get a divers kit for maintenance. I wish success for this project 👍

Beauty 😍..i think driftwood have also should be added

I am not an expert...but this looks stunning

Looks like the foreground plants have given up. 16:51 Neon tetra is dying as well🤭

some discus or altum angels cud have reflected more of an amazon rainforest

Not the same Level as the Japanese Aquascapes

This is awesome, there should be another 4K version of it!

Beautiful creation ! and what a gigantic accomplishment ! Thanks for sharing such a well orchestrated event. A couple thoughts....Just from the sheer size and difficulty to access the bottom, i would have picked slow growing plants like Anubias nana petite and small leafed Bucephalandra varieties as the front ground covers, Something that is commonly overlooked in smaller set ups, but here, with this huge scale, they would be perfect !. Also, i feel the ball was dropped on this project, especially being in India. Here was a great opportunity to showcase Asia's LARGER sized varieties of aquatic species that can't be shown to their full mature size in smaller, more common tank sizes. Like the colorful Cryptocoryne family or the Aponogeton species that are low maintenance, yet are also perfect for thriving in a static design aquarium. One good thing about aqua-scaping, is the fact, there is always a "redo" in the future, so i hope you can achieve just some this vision of mine. Thanks again for posting ❣

After watching this I am speechless 😶👏😱

This work from still water aquatics is indeed a splendid job. The entire hardscape and plant scape is unique and giving a elegant amazon look. The variety of plants and fishes are just a jewel in the tank. Kudos to mr adip and sanjay urs conceptualising this beauty...

Nice work...Takashi amano would have put a long slanting drift wood with plenty of needle java fern bunches...

Its a great project, But i dont think its on par with ADA standards.Poor plant choices i will say. Atleast a good maintenance needed before shooting the last scene.... MOSS in a huge tank...not the best choice...just a personal opinion.

To be honest, this was a very lazy setup with no story or thought process. The outcome as expected is poor and unimpressive. Some one was ready to throw away some money and ADA team grabbed the opportunity. Typical lazy and un-imaginative layout. If you have a 5 meter space, the possibilities are endless. You could have created an awe inspiring scape worthy of winning awards. All you guys did was throw some big stones, cover the pipes and plant like farmers. Zero creativity ! The guy was taken for a ride whose money you spent. Please refer some award winning scapes in Google to understand how things are done. That is why we Indians never make it to any international awards. Just throw is some daft ideas and impress layman with drama. Mr Adip, you are just a businessman, not an artist. Don't pretend to be anything other than that. I would have asked for refund at this awful waste of resources.

The level of quality aquascaping Amano Sir and ADA japan is doing is lacking here. The hardscape was build as an Iwagumi but seems to have lost the original ideas. These are just plants growing in the wild with no theme or story behind it. Didn't expect this work from ADA india. I think you need to replant and redesign this scape.

A lot of good , hard work and skill gone into this. Unfortunately the end result was underwhelming and left me quite disappointed.

How do you clean the foreground?? It's so deep

Ohhh so beautiful. The way the scape has come out is really beautiful, and can imagine the difficulty faced in installation of the beautiful tank. In addition not to forget the maintenance effort if not wrong that too would have been provided by ADA India. All the best and wish you to break your own records

Great work but not happy with lay out m fan off ADA nature equarium could have done fore ground much better by adding white sand nd some small stones along with big rocks tat will have creat some depth also hope u do beter in future...

What a tank . I just absolutely loved it. Kudos to team still water aquatics

Is this sand blasted glass on the back and glass in the front or acrylic. Looks like acrylic though?

Great work Adip and team. I can only imagine all the maintenance efforts that have through in this past 1 year to make to look like what it is now

Sir how was the tank build? Glass or acrylic?

What are those white striped fish . Some kind of danio? It's gorgeous

How much crore for this set up????

It is really a slice of Amazon river, No words to explain the beauty when it is matured, hats off to Still Water Aquatics for the great effort in making this beauty Keep it Up

Amazing work , Really makes me happy seeing that there are people who are willing to have such huge tanks in their homes from my country too.

Does this aquarium have undergravel filter plate?

Amazing Adip, Congrats to you and your team. Lot of effort and hardwork. It has come out so beautifully.

Recreating nature at its best. Great work Adip and team.

Absolutely magnificent

Absolutely Amazing...😍

overall cost and postcare expenditure?

Can very well imagine the effort put in to create this. Great job done by the team. Though I couldn’t gather from the video the theme behind the aquarium. For me it looks massive where there are 3 sections with lot of plants. If we compare this with Amano San’s gallery with an aquarium of similar magnitude you clearly see a theme coming out of his creations. Would have loved to see the hard scape coming out in this scape and a carpet of Monte Carlo, Cuba etc. Overall great effort and loved it.

Great work by ADA Team!!

what is the water temperature maintained?

What is the tank size, length x depth x height?. How much mm glass is used and which glass?. How about bracing thickness?. Please guide. Tnq

Can anyone please let me know what is the name of the music playing in the background at the end last few minutes of this video please

How much does it cost to build one like this? what is maintenance cost per month?

man that aquarium looks freaking awesome.

some big driftwood trunks wud have been better too...

How can u supply co2 ..

Wat will be the cost to setup same size and design

Could Anyone tell that the total cost of this Beautiful Planted Aquarium ?

Amazing... All the best👍

The camera quality was not very good so the clip looks a bit dimm. Also the initial setup was not clear in the concept, resulting in somewhat chaostic layout. That’ s my opinion!

Nice piece of work Adip. 👏 You are great as usual

Just beautiful. An amazing feat.

Wow this is like a dream tank for any aquarium lover.

no matter what ppl say i think the end result is beautiful.

Amazing 😍

How many gallons / liters?

Amazing..

How can I get that sweet ADA jacket

Such beautiful craftsmanship and videography as well. Will look forward to a video on technical details especially tank specs, filtration, photo period, etc. Thanks for sharing :)

Wow... Amazing 👌👌

Hi, can anyone tell me the name of white color fish 16:05 and 17:07 time

Great work, well done.

I'm just over here thinking that the amount of ADA soil in that tank is probably worth more than my car

Commendable

This is absolutely stunning!

Simply WOW

this is awesome 👍👍👍

Truly impressive guys, job well done.

Wow beautiful

This big scale.isnactually far easier than a nano scape .

Great work Adip and team still water aquatics. Would be helpful if you include the items used in the description. Could you kindly let me know the name of the silver shoaling fishes? It looks like a native species of Danio maybe? Kindly do let me know. Are you using sump filtration and also are you using any external heating cause it does tend to get cold there? Thanks and have a great 2022

Can anyone blow me with the cost of this project?

Lovely creation!! Regards from South Africa

I wish I could work with a team like this as a profession

what is happening on the fore ground ??

Impresionante….

holy mama, Thats awesome!!!!!!

Mind blowing

Amazing work 🤙🤙

Need more such good regular videos if possible weekly 👍

Jabardast 👍

Amazing😍😍😍😍😍

This tank will be a pain in the a*s to maintain and keep clean and algae free

Really enjoyed

최고~! 멋있어요

Awesome as always

Cost

Nice setup … looks like Amanos Sumida tank 🤪 how come hardscape changed from iwagumi to driftwoods ?

REALLY GOOD JOB 👍👌

Looks very amateurish, but good on them having a go.

Great work sir! Must have had an amazing experience 😎

Add an Hanoman Statue would be better
