You’re do great at conveying information. Thank you for lending your time to teach.

I know this comment is almost two years after this video was posted but this pushed me over the edge. I have watched at least five of your videos tonight. You go far beyond what I see on other channels. Not only are your tanks beautiful but you explain the theory and method behind your skills. The most impressive thing is you address the concerns of those who don't have a firm grip on the science or don't have an unlimited budget. Well done. You just picked up a fan and a subscriber. Thank you.

a really beneficial inside tips for Aquascape, Dennis never shy on sharing all he knows for FREE ... i can watch it again and all over again and keeps learning some new tips ... this sifu is AWESOME !

This is such a great tip, Dennis, and so much more logical than using lots of substrate. I bought some gravel pave system from my local garden centre and will be building my hardscape this weekend. Thanks!

I have just gotten to this video and it is very useful and I am going to use these tips to create my new aquascape. Much thanks!!

Thank you for sharing. Always good to learn a new way to build a support structure. Not every style is good for every situation, and sometimes you can't find the materials you need. Also, I really like those grates because you can usually get them (or something similar) for free from a local nursery. It's also easy to build a supporting frame into it when you need to support something tall or you have stones that are stacked.

Invaluable information! Much thanks Dennis 🤗

I wish I had seen this video before completing the scape in my tanks. Awesome tip!

Beautiful scapes Dennis!

Always great stuff from you!

Wow, you are so talented!

I gotta get my hands on this stuff! It looks like it allows more circulation in the substrate vs the regular egg crate. Awesome work as always!

Genius idea. Thank you very much for sharing

Dennis I am new to aquascaping and the use of drainage cells makes very good sense. Love your artistic flare, thanks for sharing your ideas.

Thank you for posting this.

another awesome vid from Dennis the Menace... tnx again mate

Badass tank!! Thanks for the tips and tricks.

Thanks! Very nice work and thanks for the ideas and help!

Extremely helpful tip! Thank you :)

Nice vid, I might use this information when I redo my tank.

this is great tips, thanks for sharing! i going to my local garden shop to find these things tomorrow.

Ingenious idea.

Good idea Dennis I will look for that stuff at the garden shop. Thanks buddy

so simple yet so effective

That's an awesome idea, thanks for the vid!

love your work keep it up!!

Wow... beautiful tanks mate!!!

Thanks for sharing Dennis

Dennis, thank you for sharing. Amazing work.

This is a really good idea even if a person has lots of money. It provides a nice way to go higher with low weight and good strength. Some really nice ideas.

Brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely be using this method on my next tank.

Youda man Dennis, can't wait to do my next scape. I'm going to do a big mountain scape and these egg crate tips will really help.

The best i seen to thanks Dennis

Thank you that's a wonderful idea.

Very helpful. Thanks!! 🙏🏻

Awesome idea thanks for your help 🙂

Thank you for your time and nice video.... wish i saw this before creating my first iwagumi.

Good idea. You can use lava rock in mesh bags also.

Very good idea. 👍😊

This was great Dennis, and you gave me some great ideas for rock scapes-I am starting my first scanning tank. I hope I can find the plastic grids here in US though, I garden a lot and haven't seen in shops.

Excellent!

The most useful video on youtube ! Ive watched it 5 times... just ordered some drainage cells yesterday

this is really awesome, thanks a lot.

you're a life saver! thank you so much!

Thank you for the drainage crate idea! I'm currently setting up a new aquascape, piling up a rock wall, and the crate is GOLD. Hopefully I can find it in the garden store near me.

good short video. nice and simple

awesome video

love ur tanks. verry artistic

GREAT JOB!! GO SG AQUASCAPES!

Great tips!

Great movies and really educational.

Such a great idea! Now I want to make a new tank to try it out. :)

Thank you! Informative video

Awesome tip, thanks!

wow awesome video!!

thank you, brother! appreciate it X

I went to home depot today and bought plastic grids that go over lights, I am going to try this.

Wow am I glad I came across this video, the drainage things are brilliant! I will definitely be utilizing those as I progress in the hobby.

Thanks for the very informative video! I’ve been wandering how much rock weight my new 25 rimless could hold, but this solves the issue.

Nice material Dennis, I'll use it on an upcoming project, I have some rather large stones and this will make it quite stable

Thank you

Love all your videos man. I'm redesigning my planted tank and there's a lot of good info here! Thanks!

Brilliant idea! Thank you for posting, keep up the great videos

Thanks that is very helpful 👍

really useful

such a legend

Perfect thanks mate

Dennis thanks buddy my problem solved

Thanks great tips 😀

This is great! Thanks for the tip

Wow I just wasted 2 bags of lava rock building my 40 breeder up ! Nice out come but wish I’d have seen your video first! I would have also been able to manage my filtration differently! New subscriber just.......now

Wow! Dennis, I was searching across youtube on solving the problem of rock falling. You have solve my problem :) thanks so much

magnifico!!

thank you

Swee lah bro. Good job

U R a legend

Very clever Dennis Wong, thanks for sharing!

Great advice! Going to try it out on my Fluval Edge.

bruh youre a real mvp SUBBED

Just droppin a quick message for this video which gave me the idea to do my hardscape. 'Keep up the good job in providing informative and practical aquascaping videos!

Looks like it works well. You know I will just say to use lava rubble. LOL It helps hold up sand slopes as well! haha. Great vid man.

wow brilliant this will cut down lot of money to spend on rock.

Nice tank. Thinking of restarting this hobby of mine..but due to higher cost for materials and equipment i think i shld just hold back first.😣

I have seen grid like what you used in florescent light section of hardware store

The last tank was just spectacular. Perfect balance of rock, sand, plants, shapes and colours. You are very talented. Can you tell me the exact name of the lighting setup you got there. Looks like some inexpensive armature with speciality bulbs?

Now thats something. It surely makes the rockwork bill smaller. I will try that at some stage. The only but is in that i like designing my rockwork paying alot of attention to details that cannot be seen as much as those that can. Overall it makes no sense, if it can't be seen why worry. But i like to think i am building a real mountain or any other type of rock formation from the ground up

10/10

Fellow Singaporean, do you have a step by step video? By the way keep up your great work!

Best solution I've seen yet! The tanks... appear so very finely constructed. Superlative! Material, manufacturer?

hey question dennis, how do you separate Sand from substrate? and on the drainage cells, since it's open in the sides, how do you block the substrate from bleeding into the sand?

cool

This is a great tip! But I've looked all over for these drainage cells and they are very hard to find. I went to several garden & hardware stores and none of them had this type of crate. Does anyone know where you can find them in 2022? Thanks!

Please let me know what type of rocks are you using.

What do you think about using garden crate on the bottom and then putting a bag of lava rocks on top of that before adding soil to create that height? I have a very tall tank - 34 inches. My reason for wanting the lava rock is I hear that it helps with filtering/nitrification. What kind of stone is that? Can you get it at a landscape shop?

Dennis, what aquatic substrate do you use for freshwater aquariums? I have been looking at Caribsea and Seachem. I am looking for black and red substrates.

Please make a video on fertilizing the tank to achieve maximum growth and health of plants.

Love your channel, very informative and creative. Where I live importing rocks and substrate isn't just expensive it is just not permitted and all I have access to is limestone (in abundance) and if lucky slate. I think I heard this aquascape was done using limestone, not sure, but if, how do you control your water parameters with the high carbonates in limestone, especially with fishes in the aquascape?

Hi Dennis, instead of filling the holes in the drainage cells with sand or similar (as I'm worried about anaerobic pockets), can I just use a weed mat to cover it and then put my substrate (Amazonia) on top)?

Hi Dennis, great tips for a beginner like myself. In my case, my concern was about the weights of the rocks since I'm putting it on a shelf which could only carry 50kg. Thanks to your video I manage to deal with the issue. Could you also share the bulbs you are using on your tertial work lamp? Thank you in advance! (:
