The quality of your materials is outstanding. What a beautiful scape 😍

WHY DO I WATCH THESE VIDEOS!? Now I want to build ANOTHER tank. 😢 Stunning scape though! Bravo!

Izvanredan.. I am from Scotland but googled Superb and i hope this is correct. been watching since you were only a couple of thousand and love everything about your channel. best of luck with the breeding program. all the best.

Knocked it out of the park with this one! Great work!

Looking forward to seeing how this develops.

超正😮好有感覺，正是我想要

This architecture is very interesting! I think it's quite similar to real life

Thank you!

The return of a classic! This is still one of my favourite tank sizes as well. You do some of the best hillstream river style builds.

The minnows are natural to watch in your set up. Loved the video

I quite like the layout

Schönes, naturnahes Flussaquarium! 👍

Love the cohesive effect of only using blue/grey rocks and gravel, complimented with the red oxide wave of branches🤩 Less vallisneria would enhance more of it's beautiful flowing movement but what an incredible tank! Hillstream Loaches would go nuts to live here!😉

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Congratulations, the first video with 200K views

Extremely impressive!

Great job , a real piece of river ❤

Wow! I love the idea of using volcano rock inside filter mesh bag! I didn't think of that when creating slope. Would love to try it. Thanks for such great video! ❤

Amazing 🙌🏽

Very nice! 🤩 I love the "flow" of the roots between the rocks. It's also good to see the minnows back in action. I was half expecting you to tilt the entire aquarium (there are examples on KZfaq), but that would be silly and this works great. Looking forward to see how this develops. 👍

What a beauty

Wow

You deserve 100k subs, love the videos

Odličan, gušt za gledati 👍👍

Amazing setup love the tank & your channel ❤

I'm thrilled!

What an awesome setup

Woowwwww ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Looks great, the val really ties in the look following the flow :^)

Awesome build

After watching this video, I feel like taking a nap.

A nice build and you will be able to see all of your fish. In my tank I went for a rocky river bed with rocks on top of rocks. I found that my loaches are often hidden as they live under the rocks but interesting to see my minnows under the rocks looking for food or shelter from the flow. Glowlight Danios were perfect for my tank - I am interested to see what fish you add.

Very nice, - the broken bricks chipp away to form natural rock looks and then to rubble and sand to glue in between the gaps !! VERY NICE AND WELL DONE, - Thank you for the video and the ideas, - it will help my slow experimental project !! I will be continuing to follow your videos from now . Jason °//

A shrimp cave in the unused space uphill would be amazing

Love...Love...LOVE!

Very cool design. From lighting to color palette you did amazing job capturing the hillstream!

OMG such of beauty👍👍👍👍 good job sir

really enjoy your videos 👍👍👍

So Inspiring. Thank to make this video..

Marvellous

Sweet man 🤙😋

This is gorgeous! Definitely my favorite Hillstream tank ever! Any hints on who else will be joining this tank?

Meus parabéns! Ficou incrível! Ótimo projeto! Abraços aqui do Brasil!

I assume like a lot of people I really appreciate you posting these videos showing how you build the displays. Thank you! Would you mind letting me know the brand and model of the filter mesh bags you used to hold the volcanic rock please?

Now I have an idea of how to do a setup for my small snapping turtle. Great build

👍👍

very nice

Bravo from Romania Dracula land ❤🎉

India ❤❤❤

These would be the ultimate videos if you mic'd the sound of the scaping

I like it! Only thing id change is the choice of gravel, would have gone with something more sand like along side small pebbles for detail.

👌🏽❤️

good aquarium sir and all video 👍👍👍 my name rohit Sharma ❤

MD be proud

Needs some swellias and some buces. Nice work

OK. I understand. So not all plants need a complete cycle co2 and the cost is different.👍👍

Great! Amazing layout, amazing tank! But why not putting more current into the tank. The aquael hypermax 4500 is currently the strongest canister filter. I would like to copy the concept and stock the tank with Atyopsis shrimps, some Danio species and Sewellia lineolata...

noice.

Cool as fuck that

What other type of stones could you recommend that could replace these river stones? Difficult to find the same kind of stone at my area.

I love vallisneria soooo much!!! it looks sooo great! 🐟🦐

Can you tell us what that tool is you use to add water to the tank? I see a lot of dedicated aquascapers use the lily pipe with that attachment to slowly ass water. Where do I get one?

The woodwork is very nice, it has a lot of flow. But I don't like the amount of gravel in the foreground.

Very nice tank. Where can I find the materials you used for the hardscape? Specially the river boulders and the river drift wood

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just subed maybe you won’t have to get rid of these fish and can start a different tank maybe even rent an office space with some friends just for fish stuff ❤

For what the soil in bags like like in the video

It turned out very beautiful😍😍. but why didn't you use the co2 capsule. the plants don't lose their freshness!🤔🤔

nice. but very heavy tank on the floor. did you estimate the total weight in advance?

I cant wrap my head around where the intake is on this tank. Its either well hidden or under the rocks

The pump makes the flow, not the slope.😊

Doesn’t the egg crate and the bags create air pockets?

i see somewhere on your other video, you only use 20% light intensity on your low tech tank without co2? do you prefer siesta time on your tank? (sorry for my bad English)

hello what is the water you put in the aquarium is it tap water or oz?

It's great but how to clean this

Would be nice if you talked in your video to explain your process so we understand how to replicate somthing like this

Will the rock elevate the PH?

what size is the aquarium?

sad you didnt do it rigth, and made the filter. under the sloped area! its so ez! just make a slope, out of acrylic. with walls on the acrylic slope, and on the bottom of the tank. so you make small room, for filter media. then make a small space, for a hoose/pipe to go from a pump to the top.. then the filter is inside, and apart of a natural system

add some turtles here!

How is this the ultimate sloped tank?

Why has no one mentioned the awesome way those blinds closed?

No one seems to quite understand the flow dynamics of creeks and rivers. For that reason, tanks are always put at a ridiculous angle, and there is always a huge pool at the bottom. As a retired extreme water kayaker, I know what those dynamics are, and if I had the money, I'd make a fast water tank with less than an inch of drop, without the vast amount of substrate that most river tank builders put in. The places where they are putting in wood would never happen in real life. It would be good for people who make tanks like this to get out and look at a mountain stream, and to understand it. They need to understand how the force of water plays against surfaces and pins things down, or lifts others up and washes them away. What causes eddies, pour-overs, and holes? Why is some water slack, while others run fast and splashy. When you understand fluid dynamics and who water flow in the natural environment, you'll have a whole other idea of how to build a natural looking heavy current system, but not before. As a note, some of the world's gnarliest class V white water drops less than 7 feet in a mile. The only places where it drops more than that are waterfalls. Most blue ribbon trout streams drop less than two feet in a mile. Do the math. in a natural creek or river such as the type which hillstream loaches and other fast flowing water fish live in nature, the slope is less than 0.1 over the length of the tank. If you place your wood and rocks correctly, and truly naturally, you should be able to get your natural river to run like a white water stream with just a tiny shim under one end, and a decent filter putting water in one end, and pulling it out of the other. A water bar at both the top and the bottom will help ensure that the flow progresses evenly, and in a natural manor. Flatter rocks will be your friend in such a tank, and so will wood, but don't put the wood lengthwise in the tank. place the wood either crosswise or just a bit beyond crosswise but with the wood angled downstream. Another thing about wood, and even rock in a deep enough aquarium, is that it does not need to touch bottom all the way across to start backing up water, and then having it pour over. Lots of fish hide under logs, or beneath undercut rocks. The substrate in this tank would be okay if the water was coming from back to front, but it coming from left to right, but with it going from left to right makes me thing this individual hasn't spent much time in nature, looking at how water works on the environment.

I don't understand on one hand people say make sure things are leveled when keeping aqaurium, there is also a leveling mat and on other hand people make hilstrean aquarium by changing the leveling 🙄🙄🙄

Hmm i don find it nice though

thumbnail makes you look like a devil like a bevil
