In this video I show you how I aquascaped my ADA 60P. The central theme is the bucephalandra aquarium plant. A great beginner plant, and also very attractive. Aquascaping made easy with easy to care for plants. All the plants used in this layout are very easy to grow with or without pressurized CO2. The Mini Pellia is the one exception. It can be grown in low-tech, but requires more attention if you want to succeed with it in those conditions. Within a high-tech aquascape it is very easy to grow. This aquascape was designed by Dave of ADU Aquascaping. Thanks for watching, and as always keep your sleeves wet!

Thanks for noticing. Contrast is always a nice touch, as well as using shadow that opens up to light. If you create shadow with a window to light it will create a lot more depth.

Hey thanks man. I am using the API Filstar Medium size canister filter. The lights are AquaticLife Halos so you should be able to get them from the website or Amazon.

Love your videos!. I'm not sure if I missed it, but can you please tell me how you maintain this set-up?; Type of water used (regular tap?, RO?), fert routine, and what your water parameters are in keeping this type of set-up for both fish and plants. Thank you!.

@ADUAquascaping 6 жыл бұрын

yes, in this tank I am just using tap water. My tap water is also very hard and alkaline, but with pressurized co2 it really doesn't matter. If you are wanting to do low-tech without co2 than the hard water can hinder some plant growth. Check out my hardwater aquarium video if you do have hard water and want to do low-tech.

@LG-zq4ws 6 жыл бұрын

@ADUAquascaping 7 жыл бұрын

Well they like low light and hard alkaline water. It may be some chemical or a lack of nutrients in the water column. They are one of the easiest plants to grow. Try increasing your light if you haven't already and dosing a small amount of liquid fertilizers.

Stunning tank dude! That hardscape! Did you use any inspiration for this one like the Iceland tank or just found nice rocks and wood in the wilds of utah and just went with it? Liked how you hid the rhizomes, stealing that tip! I also like how you use so many different species of plant but they compliment each other so well that they don't look busy. Do you ever enter competitions? I may have to pick up a little tank and go fully aquascape and plant and nerd out again!

Nope! Just thought of a good design for Bucephalandra, so just focusing on what would work best for them. Came up with the design as I made the video. haha. I still haven't entered any competitions. In the future I will. I would want it to be at least a 90P for competitions. Will have to wait for that.

Yes I did. Usually you just want a sand based sedimentary rock, so it limits pH swings from carbonates. I usually try to find a sandstone that has gone through pressure. Basically pure sand. The cementing agent may be calcite, but a lot of times it is just all quartz.
