It looks amazing,the plant growth is just crazy👍❤a bookshelf aquarium is definitely on my list at some point,though first I need to find some more space in my apartment.

keep the bush!

👏👏👏👏

Thanks Steffan, amazing a usual . Recently ordered 2 small brucephalandra trying then to how they do for me

A rack system is probably my best option as far as adding more aquariums in our home . 30 gallon long tanks was my idea but your system is very logical plus I've never had an open top tank but love the idea of them . Plus the advantage of growing plants in them. And if I did Japanese rice fish or Whit cloud mountain minnows I don't need a heater. My Longfin zebra danios have been picking off some of my shrimp as well. I never had luck with nerite snails. That diver and chest of yours could be made of cast iron. A 3 tank rack system would be nice. Your plants are amazing and I say long live the Hippie plant. I wore bell bottoms and listened to 8 track tapes on the way to school back in the Iron Butterfly days lol.

Master of his trade!

oooooh. aaaaaahhhh. 👌

Like this setup. If you trim the plant's lightly it actually reenergizes them, just like a little hair cut. I decorate around my tank's too! Just adds so much interest and personality to the aquarium. I especially like decorative wood pieces and different rocks. Really enjoy your videos especially the tour's of your fish room which is lovely!

Don't be apologetic, sir ! We are all human and learning

Elmo is jelly!

Lush & Nader Aquariums 😂😂

UNACCEPTABLE!! UNSUBSCRIBED!! ....Immediately forgiven and resubbed. Love your aquariums, whatever they're called. 😅😂

You’re a righteous dude!

Everyone misspeaks , heck I do all the time. That being said yes I love your tanks and fish but I love listening to you describe your aquariums that is just as great as the scapes and fish in my opinion so keep doing you Stefan 😁👍

I am not sure I know anyone who has ever misspoken, Steffan. It's good we are able to grow from the 'constructive' critisim we receive from others. I love your take on the words that vex you. I have a whole list like expresso, excape, expecially. 🙂 It's all good, my friend! Take care! ~Ron

Still cannot get over the size of those rainbows. I just added an Opaline Gourami in with my boesemani rainbows because of your tank. It is now my favorite fish in there even at his young size he's very handsome. I had 2 red rainbows but died after a couple months mysteriously.. they were getting skinny height-wise even though they were eating well. Will have to start over with new ones.

That story really cracked me up! Taught me a new word too. I enjoyed hearing you think out loud and I really commend you for your one take vids it takes me like an hour to record a couple minutes of talking😂

I know you feel bad , and understand. My self like you , work , father family person. I work 2 x 12 hr nursing jobs. Dont have a production and editing crew we often mis speak, although you know the words and have a mental block. No written , script. Is easy to make make this kind of “ mistake. I have a major issue with “uh” and lately i am editing them out. People are critical. for people like you and me , this is a hobby. We do the video and share out experiences. We all make mistakes and often correct each other in a non threatening way. Except in the case of haters, that are looking for error and criticize in a harsh way, while not doing something on their own. Is cool man. I have misspoke so many time. Some time i catch and fix with text on screen. We are only human and have busy lives and make the time to do this. Your work is amazing and keep doing it 🙏

Stephan, we are human and as humans we make mistakes. Sometimes, as you said, we do this over and over with certain words, phrases, etc.. A tick. A mental block. Call it what you will. We all have faults. I have many of my own. What more of us need is empathy and acceptance. I think you will find that most of us in this hodgepodge of different people that we call our fish community, are forgiving and understanding of each other’s minor infractions. Moving on…. Some have editing equipment. Some don't. You record. You post. Mistakes are going to happen. This video explaining yourself was done well and with grace. It saddens me that you felt it was needed. Personally, I don't think it was. You are one of few that I have come across that accepts comments whether they are positive or not and you always do it politely. Which is one of the reasons I subscribe to your channel. Looking forward to the next one.

Yep, it doesn't matter long as the tanks are doing well. I don't talk, not even much in real life, so I automatically avoid these. I've been using subtitles more and more recently ever since I started editing on a PC some months ago instead of in my phone which I did since 2020-early 2024. The number of times I visit dictionaries and spell-check is a lot and yet some mistakes still go through. I also avoided using, calling and tagging my aquariums as "aquascapes" for some time because I thought they were too "messy" for aquascapes but I kept revisiting the meaning of the word and started using it again on the tags.

I love your vocabulary and wish mine was larger, more vast… lol I totally relate to this though. What drove me nuts was the beginning of the trend of the saying, “I know, right?” I couldn’t stand it. Nowadays it’s people starting all their statements with, “ I mean…”. Drives me up the wall. But, hey… these are the silly things in life. It’s all fascinating! The moment we stop paying attention to these little things, is the moment we become boring and cease to grow. I don’t think a person can be deeply in love with fishkeeping without being deeply introspective. It’s always the tiny details that catch our attention. Thank you for sharing this. ❤

It's good to see you put a face to your channel. Your tanks are awesome you have great content. Just remember there is no one perfect in this world if there was they would be in heaven. Keep up the great work love your channel

Your face doxxing is a positive addition to your channel. It's more human and personable. Well done.

We all are human. And sometimes humans say or do things we didn't intend. I know some things in our lives can stick in our memory even years later. I'm learning to be more forgiving of myself for things in my past that only I know and am very regretful of. Life is a trip.

How dare you make a mistake😂 nice shout out for morning driftwood. I just subscribed to her

Always be learning! And yep, I get that - once the camera starts rolling, brain goes blank! 😂

Sweet man 👌

This looks amazing, true artistry!! Not heard of the albino pygmy so thanks for showing them off :)

With that many plants in that little aquarium I'm surprised you still use a filter in it. Or is that more for flow?

Fantastic tank and fish 👍👍👍

Tank looks great. Congrats on your new Corys!

No one can explain and show a tank quite like you Stefan, pure art work my friend 😁👍

I do like your Ember Tetras.

Walstad style invloves self-sustaining setup without added co2, fertilizer and the filter device. Don't you mean like a Dutch style since it has no hardscape and it's an arrangement of grouped similar plants?

Nice selection of plants! Impressive tank as always 👏

So much beauty and color packed in such a “ small space”. Always impressed Steffan!!👏👏👏

After watching… I’m convinced I should quit this hobby ASAP.

Beautiful tank! Question.. So, I thought that walstad style meant something very specific - dirt, sand cap, no filter, little to no water changes, no co2 injection. Just curious, because I'd be afraid that someone who didn't watch the full video might inaccurately cite this tank as an example of what you can accomplish with that specific method! But I could be completely mistaken about what makes a walstad tank a walstad tank! Either way, looking great! I got fed up with the red/purple bacopa myself and tossed it! lol

Is the soil capped?

Gorgeous 🎉 Your reds are good and red. Are you using any particular fertilizer to help with the iron? I added some Vietnamese Rotala R'Ha last week hoping my Corydoras would let them be. That's too much to ask. The little devils uprooted half of them so far 😂 I received my Bag of Bugs and snails yesterday and made a one gallon biotope in a glass vase for my desk. Added a full spectrum light I found in Amazon and just want to see what will happen without a filter or an air stone. I'm glad your Albino Corydoras made it alive from the West Coast during this excessive heat. They are cute little things. Thanks for sharing your tanks. Interesting to see.

It’s absolutely gorgeous! Such beautiful colors in all the plants and I love those little ledges! The fish look amazing and those little albino Coreys are such a nice touch. I hope they do breed in there.

That tank is a beauty

Thanks for sharing your beautiful aquariums!

Beautiful tank. This is also direction I am going in. Less stuff and more real estate for plants.

I am all for doing maintenance on tanks, but tearing it all down every few months to completely rescape is not for me. I love watching others do aquascapes, though! I'm still trying to find myself some long finned albino cories. What little beauties.

I love pencils! Just got some recently for my 29.

Wow awesome tour. So many plants and fish. That 135 is spectacular. Love those giant wood pieces.

Random American newbie aquarist : "That tank is too small, they need more space"
