BEGINNERS dream AQUARIUM! Watch how I built it in just a few SIMPLE STEPS!

I thought I'd build a very simple aquarium, really not complicating anything. Ideal for beginners, my first aquariums. Just one type of plant, a bit of substrate, and a large rock. You can easily make it at home. Of course, you don't need this level of technical equipment, but these were available to me. A regular aquarium and a simpler light are fine. I strongly recommend a filter and a CO2 kit. The CO2 dosing is necessary for the carpeting plant to beautifully cover the aquarium. If you like it, build your own!

just that tank, that light, and co2 are things most "beginners" wouldn't want to spend money on.

@IndoorEcosystem 6 ай бұрын

I generally do extremely cheap builds but I've recently explored a few more "fancier items" and you really do get what you pay for. But i think by "Beginner" in this situation he's talking about the actual aquascape style more so than the gear 🙂

@psy_99 6 ай бұрын

I think he's speaking in terms of ease of assembly and faster results. It's also easier to maintain. Aquascaping and fish keeping in general tbh, is a luxury. So expect to shell out some money if you want things to look good

@grey7513 6 ай бұрын

That light and C02 system are not expensive. I paid a hell of a lot more for my first scape equipment 8 years ago. The tank isn't expensive either. Off brand opticlear.

Love your scapes. For those who don't have that budget for that equipment you can get away with much cheaper stuff and you don't need the co2 or the expensive growing medium. Clean, chemical free outdoor soil sifted, will be just fine. Plus, it gives your tank a lot of beneficial bacteria's and balance.

@ibrahimdeniz7308 5 ай бұрын

The tank looks beautiful and the simplicity is very peaceful. But I think if you try to just observe the fish it is not good to place it in such short hight. When looking up from below the light is very distractive and to bend over and look from above is too uncomfortable and hard to see the fish. If youare a beginner, low budget or just have the same issues i mentioned, get a submergable light and place it right on the water line. The light will not distract you from observing and relaxing and it wont look poorif you get a decent one. Also in such a big tank a cheap 300l/h filter would look chunky as well, you dont need to have that exact same filter. The key to a pretty aquarium is whats behind the aquarium, dark colors in the back make it easier to see the fish and plants and rocks, also gives them a contrast color so they are very vibrant.

This is a beautiful Scape. However, this only looks basic. The light intensity and fertilization needed for such a grass carpet will make algae bloom in the hands of a beginner aquarist. This is actually a quite difficult tank to run successfully, as most iwagumi tanks. I'd advice beginners to start with a walstad method instead.

@grey7513 6 ай бұрын

@TheCineScaper 6 ай бұрын

Thanks! I also don't like dealing with issues, which is why I'm showcasing this aquarium. It's really not difficult to maintain. In fact, it's the simplest. No need to fertilize for a while due to the substrate. I change a bit of water weekly, and it operates smoothly with minimal algae.

@Riescaper 6 ай бұрын

beginers not always understad about water parameters, light intensity, balance between live stock and plant. many friend of mine ended giving up after tying walstad. many still trying but spend a lot in plants due to melting. its a same spending if u into the hobby. in the end u need proper gear.

Okay so I have a really heavily planted 20 gallon and the maintenance is annoying so I was going to ask this. I want to copy this idea but put the soil shallow front and deeper toward the back. One big stone. But my question is are there any plants you suggested that could be a little different as points of interest that wouldn't be a trimming nightmare or standout too much and ruin the simplicity of this design?
