Haha, you know you're in deep when you're finding aquariums in your yard!

Because I rescape my tanks about every six months, I'm always looking for ways to cut costs. Instead of a media bag, I use a shower pouf. Unravel it and you have a lot cheap netting. I double up the netting and fill it with expanded clay pellets. Secure it shut using zipties. You have to search for the kinds that sink, but in general, they're very cheap. The clay is good for the plants to get their roots in, which helps maintain the fight against creep. Getting the roots locked into something solid is really important. If the plants aren't anchored, as the slope decays, the plants will actually migrate with the soil.

I love when I search for videos and you, Joey and Jenny pop up!

I always appreciate your time and videos Rachel, Thank You.

Starting a new nano tank for my betta ❤️ the embankment ideas with the media bags, ❤️ everything about your channel

Great tips Rachel. I like the cheap and practical route also.

Great tips Rachel :) Media bags for the win!

Love it!! Epic video and magnificent tips! And that scape is Amano level!

Love the tips and info Rachel 🤗 the tank looks great

Favorite part is tje look. what have I learned. Substrate, use the right kind for max grown. Rachael your the best. Thanks for what u do.

Finally, a person who proved that my idea of putting a rubble under the substrate is doable, functional and practical in a long run is here... You can't believe how people i ask about this idea and how they are againts it...love you Rachel 😁

I'm excited to see what you end up doing with this tank. I really love the nano tanks and the nano livestock that you choose to go along with them.

Great video, I never thought to build structural support for my substrate. I haven't kept an aquarium in over 10 years, and am looking to get back into the hobby in the near-ish future. I think I'll have to build a corrugated plastic support system, the wheels are already turning.

That was an awesome video! thank you for all of your work in helping the community learn and grow. Im super excited to see this project. I wish I had room for more tanks =) so I could try these techniques... Thanks again for inviting all of us into the fish room!

As usual very helpful Rachel. Many thanks
