My favourite aquascape (and how it's maintained) 

Every time I see this tank it's an automatic thumbs up!

Perfect music paired with the tank footage in the B roll ... well done. Thank you.

Very beautiful aquascape George. Plants super healthy.

My tip for the lamp stands - drill the hole on both ends and run the cables inside the tubes. I am sure they are hollow. Just remember to smooth out the edges of those new holes with a round file. Then you get rid of all the zip-ties and cables that rather stick out. Thank you for the video! Great tips on maintenance!

Still watching this after 2 years because the content is so useful. I had made a mess of my tanks by putting too many plants, but I try to find some harmony amidst the chaos... Trying to be better everyday in this hobby. Thanks and cheers

This scape is so beautiful. Also one of my favorite scape . Very nice the place of aquarium the furniture light and martial of aquarium. Super beautiful contrast color matching . Picasso work.👍👍👍good job George!!!

Such a beautiful tank. The plants look so healthy and full of colour. Great video!

You just gave me an idea as to how I should set up my in line flow! love the heater and co2 direct connection. I never knew they made heaters like that. Thanks!

Excellent video! A few people show all the hard work needed for this hobby! And you are able to see that dirty is normal in your tank!

Setting up my first tank in 15 years. Thanks for your great advice and flawless presentation! Best, Martin

Wow such a gorgeous tank! Love it.

Absolutely amazing aquarium

Another fab video, thank you George.

Beautiful George love the shimmer after the clean so satisfying 👍

Not a lot aquascapers would admit their tanks, pipes and glasware look like this. Thanks for bringing back this hobby into reality 👍🤗

I'm so grateful that u mentioned the lights. :D amazing tank, I really like the way you explaining all of this. I always get some new tricks and new ideas from you! Thank you George :)

Hi George - this is an awesome tank. I always love it. As far as the new tank, I believe nature aquariums are generally best for grabbing the interest of beginners. For example, watching your videos lit the fire in me to set up my first planted tank a few months ago. I had always had reef tanks. But, your nature setups made me really interested in trying my hand at a freshwater scape. I absolutely love it! Thanks!

Just as inspiring as the first time I saw you setup this scape. Cheers.

Thanks George for all those vids really love watching, learned alot of these kinds of vids.. This scape is def one of my favs. Keep on filming!

I never knew about hose brushes, thanks for showing this. So helpful :)

Excellent vid mate! Tank looks spot on after the maintenance 👌🏻

I've recently subscribed, so I'm going through some previous videos and stumbled by this one. Simply amazing! I love your work. 👍

Another great video George. Great chatting last month at Aquarium Gardens. Keep up the excellent work 🙂

One of the most awaited videos of yours George! Excellent explanation given at each and every step of maintainence done on the Aquascaper 1200! I too own a 75g tank.. barely 6 months old.. ur this very aquascape had motivated me to venture into the art of aquascaping.. Thank u.. so far it was a budget aquascape.. will be introducing co2 and fertilizers by the week end.. Thank u once again for introducing me into such a lovely hobby.. and my suggestion for the 2ft tank challenge would be an idea similar to the African aquascape that ur had created at AquaDepot London I suppose.. the one close to that massive ivagumi scape. #keeponscaping

I love this aquarium!

Thanks so much for this very helpful video!

love this tank

Lovely scape and great that you show tank in not pristine condition.

Wow, thats a cool tank!👍

Definitely a blackwater biotope! Yours inspired me so much and i made a similar one for my first scape. Love it!

I want this kind of scape in my house..but..i dont have the space left..huuuu..inspirational as always george..cheerio 👍👌

Good video for Sunday night. Thanks

You are a true artist.good job.

Nice job George, looks fantastic - after the clean up of course :)

Epic george. I actually enjoy doing my tanks maintenance. Its my therapy. Haha

Good evening George. Thankyou for sharing this Awesome maintenance video. You did an outstandingly great job of cleaning that sweet Aquarium, and it looks Fantastic! 👍

Awesome 🤩 Thanks for sharing George 👍 😀

love that lamp 👍

Thanks george

Dennerle cleaner is awesome .Highly recommend 👍🏻.Id like also to personally thank you George because youve inspired me to set up my first scape its a work in motion and not perfect but im enjoying the journey...And thinking of doing a second larger tank now

Such a beautiful tank. For the two foot tank that you mentioned at the beginning of the video, I think you should do a classic nature aquarium because your passion for this style of aqua scape is contagious.

I will forever think of cleaning off my plants as “stroking” my plants! Thank you George!!!

I binged when I found your channel 😁

Well what a transformation. I find it very satisfying when I clean my tanks, however they wasn’t as bad as your 1200. The end result as always stunning .

Those kessel lights are pretty much the best.love that shimmer affect

This is by far my favorite tank! Thanks for showing that there not always pristine. I to would love to see a German blue ram tank as I keep a pair of them and would love to see what you would set up for them.

MY FAVORITE CHANNEL !!!

As a total aquascaping novice I don't have any suggestions for the 2ft tank challenge, but I do have a 2ft tank that badly needs a makeover. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Love your channel, keep up the fantastic work!

LOVE IT!

Very good video.

Eline sağlık George çok güzel olmuş

This tank is absolutely stunning George! I love how strong your passion is. You seem like an awesome dude. It would be awesome if I could make a trip out there and learn some things from you in person. Such high quality content! Really enjoying all your stuff man. Super excited to see your next budget scaping video!!! Love ya bro! 🤜🤛✌️

the kessil is amazing

Nice video, I cleaned the glass of my aquarium with a credit card thingy after watching this. Thanks for inspiration.

Classic nature style. What was ever more inspirational than classic Amano.

I loved the explanation of the complete maintenance. Everything looks wonderful after a good cleaning! That green is reflected everywhere! Is funny when the fish are all in one corner during maintenance. Sometimes my fish 'disappear' 😝 For the 2 foot tank challenge i would like to see a hardscape with only plants and Stones, because i have seen many woods lately. By the way, I love these pearl gouramis.Perfect color combination with rasboras, frodo Stones.. 😍 Very high level George ☝️ I have to get a #redcolander like this, its great! I promise ill get one when i have a big tank 😀

Hello George, thanks for the video. I like to see that you sometimes neglect your scape, it happens to all of us now and than. However you did an awesome job bringing it back once more. I really like this tank, think it's the best one you've got at home. Love the dimensions of the tank and the shimmering of the Kessils is just fantastic! For the 2 foot challenge I'd like to see you do a classic nature aquarium that would make Amano proud! Greetings from Holland and keep on scaping mate!

Thank you, this video is very helpful.

Stress buster 😇 videos 🐠🐠🐟🐡

awesome video 👍🏿👍🏿

Love those Kessil glitter lines...

Hey George, thx for the maintenance tipps, would love to see your take on a hillstream tank, with strong flow, rocks etc.

georgeous, as always, great to watch. thank you so much. i don't know what, i just want to see you scape :)

Thank u, tat was very useful.

Thumbs up as always and a #redcolander for good measure! The progression of this tank is unreal, it keeps getting better!

I'd like to see a Paludarium layout with a living wall like James Wong's nanos but on a larger scale. Would certainly be a nice change from the conventional and shouldn't be too difficult to make.

Awesome video... thanks for all the in depth reali life maintenance info. I love that you show that in the real world, tanks sometimes get dirty. It's OKAY if our tanks don't always look like award winning material 24/7, but TLC can always bring them back. Also wanted to share my secret cleaning sponge since dennerle can be hard to get here in the states. Magic Eraser sponges work miracles. They're actually an inert Melamine foam that's totally tank (even reef tank) safe. It feels soft, but is super abrasive and removes tough algae and water stains. They need to be replaced somewhat often, but they're fairly cheap. Thanks again for all your awesome content! PS... love my #whitecolander

always enjoy a look at the 1200. . just so happens I'm building a 2ft tank now. . interesting to see what you come up with compared to mine. good work dude!

I would really love to see a blackwater tank, as I've never been able to find pretty ones but always wanted to like them.

Awsom aquascape 😍😍😍❤❤❤

awesome! would love to see rainbowfish biotope.

Like the Hubsan x4 as well :)

Very Nice Tank. I like the - low mantenance idea for tanks, because lot of people struggle with the nature aquariums, that need lots of attention and work. I think, a tank wich is scaped - to have a good looking tank in the living room, but plantend with easy plants an maybe no co2 injection - if possible, means not the sometimes ugly fish tank of the past, would fit to nearly every fishkeeper. Nice to watch, easy to keep. Greetings from Germany.

Beautiful 😍😍😍😍 sorry I just think of this word, every time I see this beauty !

great video

Good stuff, loved the credit card idea.

Well rescued George, I knew you would have it back on its feet in no time ;) Little tip if you haven't got one already, get yourself a Dennerle nano gravel cleaner (Mulmsauger) I bought one about a month or so ago and really pleased with it. They are only designed for 300mm deep tanks but work a charm when you've lowered your water level a bit. You can adjust the flow on it so it just sucks up the detritus on the sand/gravel then dumps the clean substrate back into the tank, excellent for getting into nooks and crannys and more importantly it has a mesh filter on it so doesn't suck up your shrimp ;) I'm sure the peeps at Dennerle will sort you one out.

Very inspiring video and reminds me that my tank needs a good clean up too. My floating plants grow absolutely wild and drive me mad as I need to thin them out every week or so and trim the roots, a right pain it is. Algae is not so much of an issue at the moment however, it's in some annoying and hard to reach places as I made the mistake of putting my hardscape quite close to the glass. I also need to replace my Amazon sword as it is dying off because I assumed that my Ada substrate would be enough but I really should be invested in some root tabs. I've also got some weird stringy black algae on my filter outlet that I need to clean off. Other than that all of my chili rasboras are extremely happy and as far as I can tell all 12 are still alive and thriving. Truly a spectacular little fish with a huge amount of confidence for their size, I read that they are mid level feeders, however, most of mine always come to the surface when I feed or walk past them. Thanks for the excellent quality content George, I eagerly await an update on your nano cube tank and the choices you made for its inhabitants.

This tank is amazing Looking 🌱👊

My wife's comment on the video: "ohhhhh, I love his Belfast sink". (Facepalm)

Çok güzel olmuş George

you got some sun on holiday!

Hi george, i bought a dennerle sponge after seeing yours in an earlier video and i can definatly recommend it. My aquascape is going slow and steady. I would like you to do a jungle scape with the 2 foot tank.

If only cleaning my room could be as cinematic and relaxing...

Thanks for this video, George. A nice setup like yours can be pricey. But I think it’s totally worth it to buy nice equipment. It makes the hobby enjoyable. Kessil lights give a super nice shimmer. :)

Love it

I'd like to see something that wouldn't normally work in such a small tank. Maybe like using crazy scale for some rolling hills around a 2 ft. Iwaguma style or something. Or jungle tank.

Yay entertainment! Thanks George! and would love to see a African still water pond biotope maybe. Think that would work in that tank size.

would love to see a classic iwagumi style, maybe with a little bit different carpet plant like glossostigma or marsilea hirsuta/crenata. maybe one background plant, with a little bit of red like rotala h'ra. boom. :D

you should do an german blue ram tank with rocks to make cool crevaces and caves for them to breed. i think that would be great to inspire beginners

This exactly reminds me why i dont have aquariums indoors but outdoor ponds and tanks, in my climate thats possible, thanks heaven. All these gadgets to try and mimic the sunshine, nature and everything to maintain before you even plant a single thing. Little tip if your tank/aquarium is a low maintenance, filterless, natural happening never remove 75% of the water and all the mulm in a water change, in fact its best just to top it up. I once removed all the bacteria (mulm) and just a quarter of the water in one of my concrete "tanks" and instantly got a system failure. The water turned cloudy and all the fish and plants died, complete melt down. This happened even though my water comes from a natural pristine clean mountain stream. The bio load from the fish was just too high. I have tanks that are sparkling clear for years and years and years with about two to three inches of mulm on the bottom. They are partially covered with shade covers and between the rain and me topping up is all the maintenance i ever do aside from dropping in so calcium carbonate after very heavy rain. The sides are covered in a thick soft short furry algae. Obviously all my fish are top view species and so is my aquascaping. With filters holding most of the bacteria in aquariums with filters I guess it's safer, just never wash your filters or you're doomed lol. To start a tank all i do is take mulm from an old one, about a quarter syphoned into a bucket, fill the the tank up with stream water and this added mulm let it settle for the night and it's good to go next morning.

I have yet to see a very well done black water tank, maybe try that ?

Nice video again :) for the two feet long i like to see a Iwagumi style!

Nothing better then a freshly maintained aquascape! I have to say I do think this is one of your best and it will be a sad day when you break it down. Iwagumi with lots of height? Or a scape with wood emerging from the aquarium surface would possibly be something unconventional to a beginner for the 2 ft scape. I can also vouch for the cleanator, great product!

awesome aquascape! what music did you use at the end with the keyboard? amazing pictures with that sound

As usual amazing tank, George. you keep inspiring me like never before. A question? Can I have gouramis along with neon tetras, red phantom tetras?

What are those lights? Joking, great video George, love the B roll

How about a killifish biotope. You have inspired me to re-aquascape my three existing aquariums. All based on ideas from your videos. Keep up the good work

awesome

Indian River stream biotope! Hoping to do one myself, but have no idea how best to start it!
