It's an aquascaper's world this weekend over here! 😍

Congrats, Mathew! 😁

Hi Manny, i usually inject CO2 into new setups to have a nice carpet of plants. How do u have ur tanks setup? Would love to know from others as well. 😊

@@MSAquascaping I'm about to make a tank for betta soon. But without co2. Can you please tell me what I should use to ensure that my plants don't melt and die? It would be so much of a big help. And I won't place the wood. Just rocks and plants. Please please help

@mannyblackstar Bettas are tough fishes in the sense that they can survive in harshest water conditions even in their natural habitat. What's the size of ur tank, Manny? If you're setting up a planted tank, do regular water changes (50%) daily for the first week n alternate days the following week until the water parameters are stable. Do tests on the water to check on ammonia, nitrate, nitrite n ensure they are of safe levels. Try to get easy growing plants if possible. CO2 helps promote fast growth of the plants but not necessary. Once tank is cycled, it's safe to add inhabitants. Would love to see the outcome of ur betta fish tank. Keep me updated. ❤️

@@MSAquascaping 30cm30cm30cm is the size. Which is 1 feet. Which plants would be good? Please tell. And tell the substrate I can use. Thank you so much. I want to heavily plant it to make it beautiful but please tell me what plants would be better? And how to defend algae if in time it becomes. And if any snail or shrimp will help against the algae then please do tell. Thank you.

@mannyblackstar that's a decent size tank tbh. U should decide what kind of foreground plants to have a nice carpet, mid ground n background plants. I love dwarf hairgrass for my foreground as it's easy to manage n plant them. It carpets beautifully. Mid ground plants, u can go for crypts. I have yet to explore the many types of crypts. Background plants, i love using cabombas, rotala 'blood red' as they're easy to grow stem plants. Algae will happen eventually. I have shrimps to help feed on the algaes n otocinclus also helps! As for the substrate, i have always been using aquasoil. Dont be scared of failures as u learn from them. Try whatever u think is good for the tank setup n I wish u all the best! Check out my videos of the different setups i have n the steps I did to new tanks. 😁

Thanks, Jimmy 😊. Hope u dont have to go through any bacterial bloom in your tanks. 👍🏼

Hi Henrik, this is how I deal with bacterial bloom. Let me know how you manage them and at what success rate? Would be interesting to hear from others as well. 😃

Hi, Justin. It's usually between 180-190. Just tested n It's at 193 today. How are ur tank setups like? Would love to see them 😊

@@MSAquascaping actually current tank is messed so planning to rescape it, got all of my equipments ready, honestly watching videos from your channel is truly inspiring keep the good work..

I hope it turns out well for u n thanks for the kind words. Really appreciate it. I have a new tank setup n will publish it some time next week. Stay tuned to that one! 😁

@@MSAquascaping much honoured to hear that, Good luck for your future projects my friend

Hi there, I've never tried doing that. It might work? Let me know if it does. But i'd recommend to use the right tool for the job. 😊

Hi, Belinda! Thank you! 🥰

New sub on ur channel too! 👊🏼😎

TBH i hate it too! It was one of my earlier videos starting out on KZfaq n I didn't know much about music selection. 😂

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. I have more setups coming soon so stay tuned, like & subscribe! 😊

Hi Melanie, no, this is 12 litres if I'm right. 😅

@@MSAquascaping ok my Betta has 25 liter. Sry for my englisch, I' m from Germany

That's awesome! Share links if you have any. Is the betta with any other inhabitants? Wilkommen! 😊

@@MSAquascaping No he is alone.He was in the petshop alone too

He's definitely enjoying the tank to himself 🥰

Glad it was helpful! I'd love to see how yours turn out. Do give a like n subscribe. I'm coming up with a few more setups. 😊

Thanks, Onglie. ❤️

Thanks, Azad. Yes, Tatanka is pretty aggressive towards the shrimps so I had to separate it temporarily for now. My previous betta wasn't as aggresive as Tatanka but well, I guess it's in his name. 😅

I take that as a compliment. Thank u! 😊

It's the only fish in the tank.

What do u think of 'Tatanka'? 🤭

​@@MSAquascapingTATANKA ??? IS THAT THE FISHS NAME ???

Hahah yes, bruv! E e e e e e!! 🪓

Thanks, Red laser! I appreciate it. 😊

Thanks! It was fun doing the scape off with FM. 😊

@@MSAquascaping 😀

Thanks, FM! I think we both did great at this nano tank challenge scape off. Betta's still young n would sometimes chase the shrimps 😂

I just woke up n saw FM has uploaded his scape. Gonna check it out soon. 👀 I'm gonna create a poll for this scape off too. 🗳

Thanks, Jorge! I appreciate it. Think i should create a poll for this. 😅

Thanks, Pelham! Do check out FM's channel later on where he'll publish his scape. Give him "some of that good stuffs" (like n subscribe). 🤭

@@MSAquascaping oh yes i been subbed🙂all the bells and whistles

Hahah! Hey, Funk! I published mine slightly earlier due to the time difference. Coming midnite over here n he's in the UK so he'll publish his in the evening. Do check it out later on. Thanks for sticking to ur boy! 👊🏼😎 I feel the love ~ ❤️

Hi, Craig! Do check out FM's scape later on. 😉

Thanks for ur comments. I appreciate it, my man. Yup, ur right n very good observation. I scaped this using whatever available resources I had n my nano tanks are well... nano. 😂 Thats why it's easy 🤭

@@MSAquascaping Thats hard to find good material with internet, so I think your tank is pretty nice, even with these litte errors :D I want to do an Iwagumi with a tank I found in the garbage (it was leaking so I repaired that) and I am actually informing myself, so thanks for the video!

@@user-on8rz8ye3x hope it goes well with yours. Let me know how it turns out! 😎

@@MSAquascaping thank you I will let you know! :D Actually, I just have the tank and this project will take few months and a lot of money, but I think it will be great!

Good luck, my man! 👊🏼😎

I have been wanting to try it out too and was influenced to buy seeds. The online website showed n wrote that they are carpeting plants. Well, i guess I've learned a good lesson from this. If you'd like the carpet plants to grow n spread faster, CO2 definitely helps out. Else, it will take a long time to see the plants to carpet. Good luck and let me know how yours turns out, Caeden! 😉

Thanks bro. Ameen 🤲🏼

The online advertising n video suggested that it's a carpeting plant so I was led to believe it was. N well, I guess thats what i deserve for buying a product from China with no English translation. 😅🤦🏻‍♂️

@@MSAquascaping IT WAS A CARPETING PLANT FOR ONLY A WEEK THOUGH LOL

@@AQUAFUNK a month at least 🤭😂

I did leave some gap but my mistake was not adding lots of water to the aquasoil on the first attempt. 😅 What did u plant for ur dry start?

@MSAquascaping only dwarf hair grass. It was my first time trying it and it took ages. Not sure I'd do it again...

Dont think i'd do that too 🤭

Yes, they do and it's good to find out first hand. I will replace them with the usual carpet plants in time. Thanks for dropping by, Jimmy! I appreciate it. 😊

Check out my latest video for more of it 🤭

​@MSAquascaping I wish I could have those trimmings!

Thanks, Craig! I thot u already have? 😅 coz I've subbed u earlier this year. Ur very active in almost every livestream i watch. Good man, u are. 😊

@MSAquascaping thanks I'm sure I was too 🙂

Thank you, Marie. I'll join in when I can. 😊

@@MSAquascaping will have to do one when you're boy asleep! Looking forward to the colab

Hi, Marie! Was wee hours in the morning during ur livestream. I was sound asleep. I've subscribed to ur channel n will look for it. What was being discussed actually?

@MSAquascaping sorry MS, I wrote this from my old channel, it was on my Pure And Shrimple channel. I'll send you a sub. I was chatting to FM aquascaping about your upcoming colab! Looking forward to bingeing your channel later.

Ahh yes, FM and I are doing a collab. Look out for it soon! 😉

Ho

Great to hear that! Be sure u know what ur doing with CO2 n don't overdose the tank. 👍🏼

Check out what i did on the next scape for the anubias.

Green algae will always be there. Just the routine maintenance n let the shrimps eat them. We'll find out in the next update when the mixture runs out. 😊
