Why am I not surprised to see you here Jay? :) In my eyes you're like the young padawan to the tank jedi George. Really it is a wonderful video. The editing, the music, the information, all are spot on. And the aquascape is just beyond beautiful.

@@GeorgeFarmerStudios hi George I have a question for you in one of you RU-vid videos you have a oase styleline 125 and you said you are going to put a biomaster 250 on it i have the 125 with grean neon tetra and was wanting to get a biomaster would the 250 be OK I have 3 pepper cory 3 khuli loach and at last count I think 15 green neon tetra maybe a few more but they won't stay still for me to count them lol is the 250 OK for that or should I get the 350 Many thanks Lloyd By the way love all the Aquascaping you do

@johnpfister457 6 лет назад

I'd love to see a video explaining proper trimming techniques to get plants to grow to the density and shape that you want them to.

@ssss-df5qz 6 лет назад

The waste water, especially with the filter cleaned in it works great in the garden for grass, flowers, vegetables etc -and it's organic!

@juliusblom3750 6 лет назад

Your aquascape turned out very nicely. I’m glad you put out a update video as I love looking at this aquarium. I hope to make something that looks as natural as what you have put together. Also, the amount of effort you put into your videos is very evident and we all very much appreciate the work you are putting out.

@GeorgeFarmerStudios 6 лет назад

Thanks Julius!

@Darthbelal 6 лет назад

A tank life this is balm for the soul during a cold, gray winter. The brightness, color, a thriving community of plants and animals along with the quiet hum of filter are soothing. I'd love to have that again. Oh, and I can't resist saying that it might be possible to feed tank wastewater to house or garden plants as fertilizer thereby squeezing every drop of usefulness from the water.....

@Chameshi 5 лет назад

I've been planning to get my first tank, and this really helps me visualize the regular maintenance and set up! Most videos talk about location and set up, but not the ongoing parts. Thanks! :)

@GeorgeFarmerStudios 5 лет назад

You’re welcome. Glad to help 👍

@danieljensen6714 4 года назад

Absolutely amazing that an aquarium can look so sumptuous without CO2 injection! Great maintenance tips.

@rendystudio911 4 года назад

This is exactly what we need, cheap aquarium & internal filter, no fancy Co2 gear, easy to maintain.. But still great design.. Not everyone has a lot of money for beautiful Aquascpe.. Great content.. 👍

@jreustle76 6 лет назад

I sure appreciate the beautiful tank and maintenance video - I think it looks great, but I also wanted to add that I really love the camera work at the end... could watch that for hours!!! Thank you!

Super George, i just want to say that i admire your work and your good quality videos. We share a good and relaxing hobby and it is easy to see that you enjoy your job as a proffessional aquascaper.

@call_me_stan5887 6 лет назад

I use the same approach in my 30 and 54 litre aquariums :) No CO2, relatively simple, easy-growing plants. Not too much light, moderate dosing of fertilizers. There's some algae (as in your scape) but it's not too bad. So far so good (one tank is 5 months old, another one is over 8).

@michaelcavenaugh5892 6 лет назад

I am working up the courage to start fishkeeping so I have been doing tons of research before I commit to a tank and equipment etc. I must say that your videos have been the most inspirational! I really admire the work you put in to make these informative videos! This scape is beautiful.

Your really one of my favorite aquascaping heroes! Great videos, great tanks and a very symphatic way of explaining all the details. Thank you!

@angtanmor4293 6 лет назад

I followed this tank every since it was set-up. I like the idea of a non-CO2, low budget tank. Not too many of you (the experts of the hobby) do a non-CO2 setup. Great to see it is doing very well.

@GeorgeFarmerStudios 6 лет назад

Thanks

@ADUAquascaping 6 лет назад

Sweet! Never stop repeating the principles. Many videos are the same thing over and over. Humans are forgetful. All superb husbandry methods that I use myself. Removing water before cleaning is a subtle one, but shouldn't be overlooked unless you want water spillage like you mentioned.

@GeorgeFarmerStudios 6 лет назад

Cheers bro 💚

Only thing is I'm amazed at how much algae that tank grew in just 2 weeks! And the detritus you siphon out is what I'd expect from my fahaka or oscar tank not those tiny wee guys

@Tari004 6 лет назад

Crap, thanks a lot James Farmer!!! You made such a great, informative & understandable vid I'm suddenly interested in yet another hobby. Haha & lol Seriously, after 30+ yrs of wanting a large-ish hexigon tank I took the plunge and bought a used, 35 gal set-up from Craigslist. I just today stumbled across aquascaping for the 1st time while researching how to get my tank started. My experience level is so beginner it makes a kid with a dead goldfish seem like a pro. Can u tell I'm terrified? After watching you, I think I'll start with a basic plant tank. When they've thrived (note the positivity) I can add in fish as the weeks, months and years progress. Thanks again!

Your approach and step by step instructions are so encouraging. I've seen so many sources that I feel overwhelmed as to where to get the plants. I'm 64 and starting my first tank. Where do you recommend? The packages are safest, I see. Of course I want lots for my little money. I'm in Oregon.

@dhimandas 6 лет назад

It's beautiful. I am definitely doing something wrong; It has been a month now since I had planted rotala green (green but not growing tall at all), monte carlo (melted), s. repens (green and healthy), rotala HRA (does not look healthy, not growing at all), used ada aquasoil. I am using 14W, 7500K (not sure about the lumen) LED on 17ltr water column (8" high from substrate) and light is placed 6.5" above the water surface, dose only Flourish Excel.

@GeorgeFarmerStudios 6 лет назад

Try adding fertilisers. Excel doesn’t contain nutrients apart from a source of carbon.

@_Pelagikos14 4 года назад

Such a very lovely tank that demonstrates how beautiful & affordable a small setup can be! One question for you, how do you manage such massive water changes without shocking & harming the animal inhabitants? Is the water you add back aged, RO or something else? Thanks for the wonderful informational vids!
