Here is my whole cringy playlist of old videos. Made me laugh. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdmnetxpz9KUXas.html

Thanks for sharing the re-scape. As an observer I like the white sand to bounce light back up into the plants. Looking forward to the reveal vid.

Love the rescape 👍😊💛

EXCELLENT, in every way!

Looks great! I love all the small rocks.

Looks great Joseph...

I learned that capping medium substrates with finer substrates, eventually the fine substrate drops to the bottom and the bigger comes out on top.

It came out really nice! I like that layered look of the substrate in the front.

Beautiful

I truly love the foam idea j.h .i the deeper substrate and adding red clay powder is a win win in my book for heavy root feeder and running plants will carpet better n always have better luck when i also add sand with eco complete.keep it brother u doing a incredible job .

It is chef's kiss!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!

Lovely tank in the end.

It looks Amazing. Once the Plants at the bag grow and fill out, it will look Fabulous. Thank you very much for sharing. Have a great week Sir.

The more the fishtank room is a mess, the better looks the fishtank. Nice job!

I loved it! Subscribed

My substrate system is: 1. crushed lava stone in the back to build height, 2 .5 inch of organic potting soil 3. I take a pack of seachem root tabs, crush them into powder and sprinkle that down,. 4. I take my fluval stratum, put it in a bucket, put flourish advanced in a spray bottle, spray down the stratum until damp, let it dry then add that. 5. Plain stratum on top as cap. Very effective

Wow! And I don't mean to say that like I'm shocked, because I'm not. We knew you did awesome work, but that really looked fabulous! Sorry I missed the premiere. I was thinking Father Fish would love this and then he showed up and even said it himself! You really are doing wonderful things these days! Can't wait to see what's next! 😁🐠🐟🐡💙☘🌿🌱

Looking great!

Cool video, very interesting. I'll be setting up some new tanks very soon or maybe just one big one so its now highly likely I'll try this or something similar for substrate lol

Great job. I was a little surprised that the foam didn’t float.

It's very nice.. Dude....

I use Lighting Defuser to protect the bottom of the aquarium from rocks that can crack the bottom of the tank. It is made of plastic, so it acts like a layer of protection.

Substrate lasagna. Perfect. An excellent creation of a rich, dirted substrate capped with sand. NICE!! I agree about the large rocks in a small tank. Tried it. Did not like it.

I've been getting rattled choosing substrates (the aesthetics, I have a handle on the point of 'dirt', lol), thanks for making me think outside the box (er, tank). I have been getting really OCD about tones and forms. I need to be BOLD.

I appreciate the video. I have been searching everywhere for this exact scenario for a redo. Question.. I planted using organic potting soil, why did you keep the dirt and start layering top of if? Bedenfits of keeping it or get rid of and start new?

Awesome! Wish you could take it with you so we could observe it with you long term. Oh well...as Amber said, you'll just have to replicate it when you get settled in. Love how this one looks. 👍💕👍

I'm really looking forward to redoing one of my tanks. I think Lucas and Father Fish have really swayed me toward deep substrate. That is going to truly be nutrient rich! What sand is that because I have about 50lbs of that Mexican blue/gray river rock and I love the contrast!

Looks awesome what's going into this tank now & would CO2 be good into.

How has the tank evolved compare to other substrated tanks.? I love your idea to layer is like that.

Great job, also helps that you are handsome! LOL Question what’s the benefits of adding clay? Also it I wanted to layer my thank with gravel and a fine sand will I put soil mix first, than gravel in after and finish with sand or sand first and gravel as a finisher?

I added a 3 layer dirted substrate sandwich to my 20 gallon high probably a little too high but oh well.Just wondering what supplements I need add to my soil for plants

I'm sad because I just realized this tank/scape isn't coming with you when you move in :(...gonna have to replicate it when you're here :)

Any updated on this tank?

What kind of nutrient boost does the red clay provide? Mmm, lasagna 😋

What happened to this tank after all? Any updates?

I am planning some layers dear for my own aquarium.

Holy shit. Have you ever heard of maintenance? Place must smell like a dying swamp.

That tank looks awful dear

Great scape...I've only been doing planted tanks for a year keeping fish about 20. My first attempt at root tabs spiked my ammonia 8.0 with one tab. (GreenPro tabs) with a loss of fish. Curious what brand those are?
