Thanks for showing that going to town with a weed whacker isn't that big of a deal. It'll grow back.. more beautiful than ever.

3 Weeks is CRAZY … Teach Me Your WAYS Sensei! 😮👌🏾😂

Beautiful! And I could watch hours of trimming and cleanup. Something very relaxing about it, sorry if it's a headache for you. I look forward to the day when I can have half the trimming session as this. And thank you for showing the reality of ups and downs. So many times we only see the snapshot framed by the creator. I want to see the process, good and bad, so that I know I'm learning and on the right track. Thank you ❤️

That is going to be a stunning looking scape mark, what an excellent cut back and restart, awesome pal, 👌👍💚

Gorgeous! 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

Very nice to see the plants bounce back after a heavy trimming session.

I just fell in love with the new rotala macrandra species that u added because of its vibrant color and everything about it ... and the tank looks very good after the 3 week update ❤

The update I've been waiting for! Good move adding the rotala macrandra species. Hope to see the right variety of bacopa salzmanii soon. Great work!

Oh Mark, I was about to cry when I saw you mowing the whole lot down but wow! It grew back so beautifully 😍

Me encanta! Increíble, precioso. Voy a copiar tu idea porque se ve impresionante!

Es impresionante lo bien que se te dan las plantas 😳

Thanks for showing this. During the summer months my tanks always get overgrown. By fall I have to do a severe trim on most of my tanks. Yes, life does happen. Again thanks 😊

Never thought I needed this video... but I do lol. Thanks for the help Mark!

Amazing mark!

Beautiful!

Great video. Appreciate you showing how a forgotten tank can be made to look beautiful with some time and care. Thanks for the plant names on screen as you planted them. Going to try your DIY of CO2 tomorrow. Have to rewatch that video. Really enjoyed that DIY CO2 video and explanation.

Mark: The reds are absolutely amazing.

That turned out great Mark! Like that style of plant tank!

love your use of the kedegang! nice work

Awesome 👍 maintenance is the best

Excellent video as always!! 🤙

Nice view Aquascaping 👍

Yes more towels!!! Great video. Keep up the great work.

Nice to see you bring new life to that aquarium Mark! It was well overdue haha

Amazing!

looks amazing ! keep up with maintenance is the lesson learned :)

Отличный результат!!!

Rotala macrandra is my favorite plant 😍, I got it in my tank for 10 years .

i think i can improve my english a lot by watching your videos

The Buce fits great 👍

Nice aquascape treatment

Bien hecho!!!

So beautiful Nice information ♥️🇮🇳

Good to see you still have some shrimps in this tank

It’s looking great so far! I was actually debating if I should get myself some Rotala macrandra a few days ago and now with seeing some in your tank today… They look so Good! Really should get some. Looking forward to seeing how this tank will evolve over time :)

Heerlijke zelfspot!

hey mark !!!! that Rotala macrandra looks mind blowing !!!! I have seen those in my near by aquarium shop 😮😮

Loved that vid brother 👌🏼 me and the woman laughing our heads off 😂 I’m watching..she walks in to you saying “this isn’t me, I don’t treat my plants like this” she instantly has a little smile and starts to giggle 😅 that was it..we both in stitches 🙌🏼 too similar lad! Good stuff! 👊🏼

Mooie upgrade Mark, vooral die Rotala Macranda!

Nice

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, you’ve inspired me to become an Aquascaper. I laugh when you say I-Ron instead of eye-un😜

I feel you with the bacopa salzmani. I did the same mistake. Unfurtunately i don't have a reliliable source for the pink version in Germany.

Du coup, c'est une belle taille !!! Ça va pas changer les parametres de l'eau ? Les crevettes n'aime pas trop ça ! Ou c'est des neos et du coup ... ça passe ? Merci . Je vais aussi le lancer dans la crevette ! Pas d'élevage , pas intéressé par ça , mais en sélectionnant quand meme pour garder la souche . Parti sur sol neutre , ce sera des neos avec quelques japos . Je mettrais pas de fish je pense . Bonne continuations , ce que j'aime bien sûr ta chaîne, ce sont les expériences, les comparaisons dans le temps ! Tout ce qu'apprend la patience !!!! Continues bien et merci pour tes vidéos avec l'option traduction ! Même passion mais pas même langue ! Merci donc du partage ! 😉😎

Re: ammonia spikes, I have started using SeaChem AmGuard anytime I do significant tank maintenance - “significant” defined as moving substrate around, big plant trims, etc. According to SeaChem it’s the most powerful product in the market, and locks up harmful ammonia for 48-72 hours (double that of similar products), but it remains bioavailable to the nitrifying bacteria such that it can still be broken down as it normally would. Having started to use this I’ve never experienced any adverse effects from ammonia spikes on livestock, even when making major changes to scapes (which includes dosing the tank prior to pulling everything out and lowering the water in order to net them out). Even with consistent/ideal water parameters in the day to day, I think it’s a reasonable insurance policy to keep on hand to manage the unexpected.

Salut , Du coup , quand tu tailles tes plantes , tu as un "poubellarium" ou tu les donne (pas toujours facile !) Perso , je dois en jeter ... ça me met les boucles !!! J'habite à Mayotte , petite île des Commores et il n'y a rien sur l'aquariophilie ici !!! Alors , j'optimise le peu que j'ai ! Mais on peut pas tout garder ! Quel monde !!! 🤣🤩 Bonnes réalisations et bonne pousses à tous !!! 😉😎

I wish my neglected tanks would look like that. Mine are jungles of algae

This video hurt my soul ❤

Hi Mark! Beautiful tank ❤️❤️❤️ Can you please tell me what are the phosphates level in it or are you dosing them separately besides the Macro complex?

Ooh Rotala Macrandra!! I love the leaves of that plant , saw it for the first time in MD's tanks and always hoped to see more of them . Beautiful transition and some beautiful shrimps as well . Are they particularly tough to breed or are you positive of having some babies in the near future ?

Hey Marc...my main scape is a year old...I quit using ferts altogether... Because I also use 2 lights on one tank and from experience 2 lights causes very very fast growth.... My fish release enuf nutrients from poo I use light and co2 and literarily trim weekly or it becomes a jungle so thick my fish can't swim

Hi! Very nice tank! Could you please explain why you aren't also dosing Masterline 2? Do you decrease fertilizer quantity after a serious trimming session? Thank you!

do the red plants benefit from extra potassium or iron? As always,, your tanks are looking great. Your vid's pushed me to get the ZRDR co2 system, and using an inline diffuser is getting me great growth and colors

I am so jealous

Rotala macrandra! My favorite plant till today. Btw, there is a new rotala rotundafolia called rotala blood red SG variant found recently. No nitrate limitation and grow straight unlike normal rotala rotundafolia species. You can see info on them in the 2hraquarist website. I stopped using rotala HRA and “common” blood red after acquiring it 😂 Hopefully it will be easily available worldwide soon! Maybe you can make a video about it you can find them

Hey MJ, thanks for the Video! This Luminatus fish are so beautiful. Do you have had problems with them jumping out since you have been keeping them? Greetings from Germany

Wow beautiful.. shrimp's so beautiful.. 1.what plant is that in 11.03 ? 2. I think in this video markings are confused between Alternanthera.R Mini and Ludwiga Glandulosa.. previously you didn't metion ARM but you mentioned at the last... Vice versa for Ludwiga Glandulosa.. Can you kindly reply

🧡

Nice Video and the colores of the plants are still briĺliant but Do you think the buce becomes red? I am not so sure about that, but fore me a more or less green spot makes your scape even better 👍😊

Wat een gaaf eindresultaat. Ik had na het snoeien al de bak leeggehaald en opnieuw opgestart :) . Mag ik vragen waarom de mini oxidator?

Hi Mark, nice vido. Could you please tell me what kinds light do you use on the tank? I saw you set 2 light for it.

Click bait colour enhancements are not appreciated 😉 fine work sir I would love to have my own red plant scape one day 🌱

I wish I had that type of growth. Still trying to pinpoint deficiencies in my setup

Hi MJ. What plant fertilizer do you use with the shrimps?

How did you get that much growth from the bucephalandra in just 3 weeks? I just got some brownie ghost 2011 tissue culture and it was really on the small side. I'm really anxious to get them to grow in so I want to supercharge their growth.

Thank you! Are you using 2 wrgb2 chihiros???

That was a lot of work, but it turned out great.

hi good video some of my plants are not doing as good i am using neutro T plant food neutro boost and neutro CO2 thats liquid CO2 will i need to put more fertz in 3 of my aquariums are nano and the other two are 60LT and 125 LT my lights are all led i put my liquid co2 one hour before lights come on i leave the lights on 3 hours then i turn them back on 2 hours later am i doing anything wrong as all my tanks are low TECH so abit of advice would help cheer and keep your hand wet

been there :D

Hoi Mark, vraagje, misschien kun jij me helpen. Kan ik de Ludwigia Super Red na het trimmen ook terugplaatsen zonder deze te laten wortelen in het substraat om het meer "bushy" te laten lijken of gaan die het dan niet redden? Bedankt voor de super goede content!!

Tbh all the plants in all your tanks look quite lush. Ever had problems with anubias rhizom rot ? Or bucephalandra ?

Do you add nutrients even with caridines in the tank? How Do you Do it??

What water do you use and what causes the leaves to have a lot of moss, please answer?

What are the scissors you used at 5:42 called? They're super cool!

Dear Mark, have you got any experience with hygrophyla “chai”? I think it would fit into this scape with its pink colour. I didnt find proper information on how to keep them, and i only struggle

are those 2 chihiros wrgb slims on one tank ?

What fertilizer you are using Dosing methodology pls

Hii, I’m also living in the Netherland, I want to know where do you order your plants.

Such a great job ! I love dutch style. I just don't like the hole in front, not very stylish to see soil in dutch style tank

Hey, I also have the rotala h’ra like you and I can’t get them to look better than you have them now. What do I do? My plants are healthy have a lot of light and get apt3 fertilizer four times a week with co2.

Hi, Do you think a very dark green plant would contrast nicely against the reds and have you ever considered a Vincent van Gogh theme for an aquascape?

Hello

Is that macrandra also called blood red ?

It doesn’t look like a good salad but that looks like a good addition to a couple of my tanks if you wanna give me your spare trimmings it’s sad to think about all these great KZfaqrs that have so many trimmings but use them as compost or throw them away give them to your fans hint hint nudge nudge😊

Mooi om te zien, maar hoe krijg je die rode kleuren er toch zo goed uit? En hoe blijven die bubbeltjes aan je planten kleven 😅

Hi I'm your New Subscriber and I have a question if possible also make a video on it:- So I would like to get my 6.1 Gallon 40cmx23cmx25cm Freshwater Tank Fully Planted With No C02,No Ferts and No Root Tabs. Only Filter and Planted Tank Light. So can You list Plants That will to good in Such a Tank I'm sure there are Epiphytes that do well let me know all the plants that you think will do great in such a Tank Also if possible Make a Setup video for a Freshwater Low Tech Planted Tank No C02 No Ferts No Root Tabs I'm sure it's worth it. Thank You.

How do you know you aren't cutting the shrimp? You can't see if they are hiding in the plants.

Suddenly my ludwigia natans started melting ,I inject co2 properly but why did that happened and the leaf are showing green spots, what happened with my plants??

What to do if the rotalas below part didnt have a lot of roots and only the above part that healthy

Hi waar koop je planten.?

What fertilizer u use

HOW MANY LITERS DOES THE TANK HOLD

last part editing , not complete. guess u forgot to put ur photo and next video link. njoyed the video

Are you feeding 4ml of Masterline 1 daily? This means that as much as 2.2ppm of iron goes to the aquarium every week 😊 Do not give phosphorus and nitrogen?

hello

Die buce kedagang is mss niet de beste keuze , de steeltjes en de onderkant van het blad wordt rood maar de bovenkant is gewoon een groene plant voor zover ik weet ......

Welke kast is dat?

NEGLECTED PLANTED TANK??? it like saying that NEGLECTED FERRARI because I didn't wash it! haha
