@1:13 My blackwater tank looked like that for a month & then a month later, it completely cleared up. It was a stubborn, nasty bastard until it became my snail & shrimp tank. ^^; My other tank looks nothing like that & yet I can't keep the nitrates/ites in check despite 2x weekly, 50% changes & the other parameters being perfect... 🤬 The tank personality struggle is real!

can you giveaway of light because im making 4x2x2 planted aquarium for me its very expensive to afford the light so👉🏼👈🏼 im very thankful if you give me

One word - Stunning

Did this reduce the flow?

Have you ever had an issue with bettas jumping out of an aquarium? I heard from many people who say that it's dangerous to keep them in an aquarium without a lid. (I want to build a nice little betta-scape myself, but I'm a bit scared) As always great scape and great video! I'm loving your videos since you had about 5k subs. Props to the growth in content and quality since then! :)

I only have bucephalandra and anubias. How will substrate fertilizer benefit?

That wood is beautiful. Just missing a snail or two 😊

Amazing, looks cool. nice method. Although a little time taking, but end result is excellent.

if anyone have this problem just replace the rubber rings, they crack with time and allow small amounts of air in, they are not meant to last forever. my guess is that they used cheap ones.

Love that betta! Did you get him in Exotica Amsterdam?

I use Fluval for my plant cuttings. When I want to propagate some, I'll keep them in water until I see roots forming. After that, I add 1-2 TBSP. Never had algae issues.

Always enjoy you scapes/videos. It was great meeting you at Aquashella.

Is co2 echt nodig ?

Great video! Love the detail and simplicity

I think aquascaping is a very good hobby which feed my god complex

Thanks for all the Info! Very informative video. Question: do you put the plants before or after filling the tank with water?

Nice outcome but where is the nozle link? :P Cheers

Woah thats a great scape sir But i still prefer the jungle look of the alien betta ❤😂

Hoi Mark-Jan, ik vroeg me af wat voor een merk lijm je gebruikt. En waar je die nozzles heb gekocht! Dank voor je prettig video-werk. En voor je heerlijk rustige behandeling van de diverse onderwerpen. Heb al echt veel van je geleerd. Keep up the good work!

As much as you tried to keep things fair i think you went into this from an aquasoil point of view, everything from the depth of aquasoil versus soil, using gravel instead of sand and most importantly doinf water changes on the dirted tank just because the aquasoil need it. Perhaps would have been a better test if you just did the recommended method for both types instead of trying to treat them identically but to suit the aquasoil

Where did you put the heater?

Some more great color would be a croton (Zanzibar) with its roots dangling in the water. It looks like fireworks.

Not a fan of the chipmunk musack, but it's a great scape!

MJ, any chance you could create another video compilation of that wonderful music you use in your videos? I love to listen to it while I'm creating a new scape or while doing maintenance.

I also love the Dennerle aquasoil, especially since Hornbach sells it much cheaper than any other aquasoil around here.

What size wood is this on the buce plant website?

Hey may i ask what plants are used in this tank?

Very nice my friend!

Anyone else expected a flexispot placement in the beginning?? 😂

Your videos always are so peacful and calm, thank you! With no lid on your tanks how do you prevent the bettas from jumping out?

If I use the antibiotic will it hurt my healthy fish?

my bettas are definitely killers

Beautiful aquascaping and that new betta is gorgeous!

Where do you like to leave your hardness for a planted tank? What ppm?

Sir green algae and black agle how to remove please tell me sir and how to advence clean our tank

Does pinnatifida need CO2?

My head goes It needs fifth rock ! The uneven numbers rules is burned unto my brain since i was a landscaper. Haha But it looks amazing. I love your 'simple' but effective and beautifull scapes. And you sit perfectly in between guys like MD and the guys of Green Aqua. Helping and inspiring beginners to step up their game. Good luck in your new studio and new adventures.

I would love to onow if this is still running and what it looks like. Im about to do something similarly.

So, the plants actually need co2 to turn down the ph of the water? That's why we need co2 for the plants to grow?

another great scape as always but PLEASE learn about keeping bettas. All those sharp edges are not good for a half moon.

Great experiment👍🏽

I have a question, when you first planting the plants, it's green because it's emersed or they just come like that? And do you re-plant them to remove the green leaves or just trim the top part?

Nice scape ❤ please upload some pics when the stems fill in at the back. Great to see the new studio in action. I'm also interested to see how you get on with the yellow neocaridina, didn't have much luck with them myself.

So cute ❤

Hi Mark, congratulations on your aquariums and sharing your experiences. That Betta is wonderful, one of the most beautiful fish I've ever seen, a video on the water and the osmosis system would be interesting (assuming you haven't already done it, you've made many and I might have missed it). thanks and keep going! 😊

I think all fish need room to swim, small tanks are not my cup of tea so I'll pass on the video...sorry

I want to purchase spiderwood from Buce Plant and was wondering which selection you picked? I see different sizes and quantity.

You drop this video when I am looking for ideas for my Betta that i rescued! You are amazing! Thank you.

Wow. That is a wonderful Scape and a verry wonderful Betta❤

I’m curious if these will work with any bottle with correct thread. I have one of those fire extinguisher bottles on eBay and the heap regulators fail after six months.
