thank you!

+Cosmic Ehrhart thanks!

thank you =)

thank you so much! I always love to hear that I can help inspire people. best of luck!

+jeremiemcd thanks for the compliments! comments like these always touch my heart and remind me why I do this.

@@Ultum_Hiep where are you now? Please make more videos. I'm at designsbymlt on Instagram. I haven't posted on YT yet. I'm working on many projects. I like the feelings your creations evoke in me. Really. Hope you are well. Please give me a follow and i can follow you back. On here, or Instagram. If you want. Blessings, 🌿🐟

+Rommel R thanks! I organized it even more by getting rid of the duck tape and using some stuff from home depot to properly hide all the cords and wires

thanks! I'm glad you enjoy them

wonderful compliment, thank you!

+AQUA NUT thanks!

This is actually marsilea minuta (or m. hirsuta im not sure). As far as growing a glosso carpet, I reccomend that you give it a good supply of pressurized CO2 and constant trimming

Glass Canvas Aquascape oh wow this is marsilea! It looked a lot like glosso. Thanks for the response. I just started a tank with Glossostigma and it’s melting back a little bit. I’m rescaping one of my other aquariums soon and I’m planning on having it look similar to this. I’m going to have a lot of low light plants, but some high tech carpet and stem plants. I’m using a lot of light and co2.

+Lauren Reilly thanks! lots of light and co2 are the key

+Lauren Reilly I use a DSLR camera and tripod, the video quality is great on my nikon. coupled with creative camera work, and voila...you get that^

+tovar83 it is a bumblebee otocinclus (parotocinclus sp. )

Thank you! I have taken this layout down over a year ago, the most up to date video I have of it is the 1hour long video on my channel and the tank was in its prime in that video. I don't know what the CO2 ppm is, I honestly don't get that technical with my aquariums. My method is to watch the plants the react accordingly. The general rule for me is to increase the CO2 output until I see lots of pearling a few hours after lights come on, but not enough CO2 to see the fish gasping at the surface, I hope that helps.

Oh right haha! Fair enough, I'm just using it as a guide. I suppose it also comes with experience! All the best man.

+Kristina Lavoie a while back I saw a video of Takashi Amano feeding his altum angels by tapping the glass with the food container before putting the food in the tank and when the fish heard the tapping they come up to the surface ready to eat. Ever since then I've been doing that and most of the time the fish learn that tapping means food after only a week or so. I do the tapping at the same location and drop the food at the same spot every time, consistency helps

+Glass Canvas Aquascape Good advice. I've been doing the same location, but haven't tapped. Will try it out. I've only had most of my fish for a few days, so we'll see how quick they pick it up. :)

thanks, that is Riccia Fluitans

Im not sure which comment you're referring to but I'm sure what I meant by peak is that it was at a point where it looked its finest. I took this scape down to begin a new scape for the following year's IAPLC. Scapes like this one should not have a problem being run past a year or two, but being a scaper, I always want to start new ones.

+Aquatasy some of these are shot with a Nikon D600 and some is shot with a Nikon D7000. Most shots are with a 35mm prime lens or a macro lens

I had a feeling you were using Nikon cameras and lenses. The quality difference between Nikon and say Canon is always noticeable to me. I'm just about to invest in a new camera and it will definitely be a Nikon.

+aji widhia no, thats a glass inline CO2 diffuser by AQUAVAS, they dont make them anymore

its just a fact of life that we must accept haha.

+Christian Mantione Espei rasboras, rummynose tetras, roseline sharks, panda garra, otocinclus, zebra otocinclus, bumblebee otocinclus, checkerboard cichlids

+Glass Canvas Aquascape Thanks !!

awesome! good luck brother

yep! narrow leaf in the back and trident in the middle

Great, that's what I will be doing. Thanks!

great choices! they are my favorite plant to work with

I clean the glass and change the water regularly, especially when I know I'm about to record a video. To keep algae from growing too rapidly or quickly, you must find a balance between the amount of light, the nutrients/waste in the water, and the amount of CO2 being put into the aquarium. When these three elements are in balance, and the plants are growing fast and healthy, algae will be at a minimum

+Supmotto I was planning on posting a 1 hour video of a full view of the tank, good to know someone else enjoys videos like that. =]

+Glass Canvas Aquascape Please do, it would be super relaxing... *-*)b

@@Ultum_Hiep Hello, I love your bac, very beautiful aquascape and plants. Can you please give me the list of resident fish ? Thank you so much

+TheNewAlias the only extra ADA part I have is the surface skimmer, which isnt really necessary but helps keep the surface looking clean with no film. Everything included with the Aquavas system could stand alone as a setup, only thing that I would add is a heater if your inhabitants need one, and a CO2 setup

Thanks for the info. Which heater and Co2 setup did you pick?

I use a hydor inline heater and a 20lb CO2 canister with a custom regulator and inline CO2 diffuser you can see in one or two of my videos. The glass inline CO2 diffuser is a prototype that was made by Aquavas but never released

Thanks! If you were in NYC I would def pay for your services. Keep up the great work

I use a very light dosing regimen of PPS pro

I have 3

Glass Canvas Aquascape nice! You are a pro. Sorry I mean to put a question mark at the end of the first sentence. You use an inline diffuser?

yes, you can see the inline diffuser at 0:59

Glass Canvas Aquascape thx for th quick reply. Your aquascapes are off the charts. Do you have any tips for a a beginner.

manual cleaning, amano shrimps and otocinclus help too, but nothing replaces your own manual labor ;) also don't forget that just because you don't see it in my videos doesn't mean that I dont have the same problems, when I make a video I try to show my tank in the best condition possible, so I always clean before making a video. Same way when you clean your house/room before a girl comes over, you don't want them to see your mess, you gotta show your best side hehe

Only have 2 Amano and 1 oto inside my shrimp tank. Don't seem to see them eating as fast as the hair algae grow. Haha and my back wall is a sump wall which is made of pvc. Razor don't seem to be able to glide. What bout the plant that has tones of hair on them..

+Chay Jeong Narrow Leaf Java Fern

How bout the middle part? Thanks ur aquascape look very nice

The middle background plant is narrow leaf java fern

+Glass Canvas Aquascape ok thanks=D

+Ashley Jeenah bumblebee otocinclus (parotocinclus sp.)
