How can you be so patient with gathering materials for the scape?
@BulusKursunlu believe me, it's killing me to take it this slow. Yet I wanna try and do it right and save as much money as I can. Plus, there is work,the other tanks, and the wife😅
I really appreciate that you took us through your build, and then rebuild. Seeing you work and then go in a different direction definitely encourages me to do the same even if I have put a lot of effort in.
@ChrisByram it's always tough to step back,especially if one has spent hours on a project. I'm glad you enjoyed the video❤️
I saw this lamp on a stand online, I really liked it and it's nice to see that you made arrangements with it. I think that making decorations in narrow bottles is difficult, so I personally prefer forests in a jar, where I can fit both hands 😅 applause for your patience and project 👍
@martaxyz1157 Thank you so much, and the lights are pretty cool. I would have loved to have fit my hands into the jars,though I love the challenge,it wasn't easy,yet rewarding 😊
14:09 😂😂 I think I watched this just in time! Doing a new setup and needing a light, but have two flood lights in the garage! Thank you, sir! Great video!
@travisrichards6181 so glad you found the video in time🙌 and glad that it inspired you! Flood lights are an awesome alternative,especially when you have a few still lying around! Cheap,powerful and so easy to install👍
idk about that table man oh boy
@stringer1818 the table did struggle,but managed in the end😅
get to the chopper lol. nice tank
@stringer1818 thank you,means alot😁
you could have only used one. the alge is going to be nuts
@stringer1818 I'm going to keep an eye on it,but do think one should be enough.
I was going to say I would have stuck them under the shelf.. but the light brackets look pretty slick... and also they hide the wires nicely.. looks awesome fish room is looking lush
@@MrOneWho thank you so much,slowly getting there🙌
It shines well, but you should think about a background to cover the supports visible through the glass. Personally, I would hang the lamps under the shelf, or on shelf brackets slightly below. I am waiting for the continuation of this arrangement 👍👏
@martaxyz1157 The light is amazing, and the plan is to paint the back of the tank black once I re-scape it. I'll have to remove the light stands to do that then. One idea was to hang them from the shelf,though I might take them down,so the stands were the best option. But stay tuned for sure🙌
14:09 was just too funny 🤣🤣
@@fruzsiw yeah😅I messe up there
Danke für die gute Bewertung vun luxemburg aus dem Aquarium
Sehr gerne,ist eine super platz❤️

@PangoIin Well, 10000+ is still correct 🙂
Nice trip👍

Such an amazing little gem in Luxembourg! Great aquarium, the fish look so happy and healthy! Hope you visit and show off some other aquariums soon!
@fruzsiw it is a gem, yes, and will definitely go and visit other galleries aswell still🙌
You should feel really proud of yourself, each time I watch your videos, my eyes are distracted straight to this tank. It looks excellent.
@Steve_RobbieRaygun thank you so much. It means a lot to me👏 The scape has a special place in my heart, and without it,this whole channel would have never started.
Good job on the tank! Hope your plants grow and fill out for you.
@MickysAquariums I hope so too and thanks for watching🙌
Very informative. Thanks. Neat idea with the split tank setup. Looking forward to your follow-up video

Lot of effort but then that's part of the Zen of this hobby. Thank you for sharing!
@LushSaltyAquariums Always glad to share. Part 2 will come soon👍
Fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞 I hope you fix this aquarium
@martaxyz1157 Im already working on it. It is a big task but will definitely save it👍
So much detail in such a small jar! It looks really amazing, can't wait to see what you will build in the third jar! 🎉
@@fruzsiw thank you so much🙌the third jar will come soon,promise
That’s an impressive amount of detail in such a tiny space, it looks incredible!

Ee can always count on Germany for top notch aquariums. Thank you for sharing!

@LushSaltyAquariums it's a pleasure,will do more tours in the future👍
This is awesome!
@@creatinganecosystem thank you so much😄was a long time vision of mine
Congrats on 500+ subs!
@@rangamboa thank you🙌
i like it, but isnt it a bad idea to plant anubias into soil, or was that a different plant?
@Wtfzipcode Thank you, and it is anubias, yes. They can be planted into soil and be perfectly fine. Though just the roots should be under the soil. The rhizome of the plant needs to be above the soil. Otherwise, the plant will rot away.
A lot of time and patience went into such a small little scape but it looks very good. Well worth the effort!
@MickysAquariums thank you so much. I was quite a bit of work yes😅
I love noticing the ants' flight. Very interesting video!
@@zoratamas4379 thank you so much👏
Very interesting video! From learning about the Black Beard Algae to the experiment with vinegar and building caves with those rocks! Did the fish make it?
@zoratamas4379 The fish did make it and are perfectly fine. The update will come soon🙂
That looks like such a fun place to visit!
@ashenwalls3558 it is lots of fun. There is so much to see,did not even go into the insect section and main park of the zoo😅
I xan see why it was a disappointment, still it was a great asventure! 😊
@@fruzsiw It was yes👏
Zoo tour when I drink coffe 😎👍 Aquariums looks good, but terrariums better 😅 Next stop zoo Chorzów in Poland? 😎😅
@martaxyz1157 The freshwater section was a bit of a disappointment.... Though I'll definitely keep Chorzów in mind👍
@@IDoScaping Better not 😅😎 its disappointment max level, but Zoo in Wrocław why not 💪
@martaxyz1157 Well, maybe I'll visit both😅
So, I started watching the video just to be supportive (I don’t have an ant farm) but ended up getting interested! This was pretty cool! And also, now I think the girlfriend wants an ant farm lol
@travisrichards6181 Thank you so much for the support❤️ the ants are more a side hobby of mine and have nothing really in common with scaping. Though I am always happy that it sparks interest in others.
I know I always see the ants flying around in mid August here in Ireland. I must watch out and try and get a few queens for myself. Just moved to a larger fish room so will have plenty of room for a few colonies! Cheers for the video and info.
@MickysAquariums that is pretty cool. Glad that you enjoyed the video and the info🙌
Plants like anubias like longer photo period and not intense light.
@nikola611 that is true, yes. They are pretty shaded,so the intensity is fine, and I will slowly turn up the photo period again,but still on my toes😅
Yeah, my betta's upgrade is having quite the time with this first algae phase! Luckily the nerite snail is finally jumping in to help!
@@ashenwalls3558 nerite snails for the win🙌
I do recommend the Drain Weasel, a product that's meant to be used for removing human hair from sink drains. It's a long plastic stick with a Velcro tip; wind the hair algae around the Velcro with a few turns of the wrist and pull it out of the tank with minimal fuss (and water splashes).
@FrogCabin-in5wd I did have a look into the drain weasel, and I might get one in the future for my big tanks🙂
@@IDoScaping And they actually work on drains, too!
Great video, sir! Loving the content!
@travisrichards6181 Thank you so much🙌 I want to share everything,even the mistakes and failures.
With hydrochloric acid it also depends on the amount dissolved. When I was a first year Physical Geography student, we did a fieldwork course making loads of bore holes in the Dutch river delta and every 10 cm had to be tested for calcium using a hydrochloric acid solution which we transported in our backpacks basically. Using the scale from 0 to 2, 0 is no reaction, 1 is an audible reaction holding close to your ear, 2 is a visible reaction. It was like 1 or 2 percent or something. It's been over 25 years. It was strong enough to cause skin irritation.
@TheRealTMar must have been a lot of fun doing such an experiment, and I can imagine working with an acid the whole day had its drawbacks. I will definitely read more into using different acids on rocks and their reactions to the acid, and ill post my results for everyone. Thank you for sharing your experience🙂
@@IDoScaping it was mostly a lot of hard work. Making boring holes up to 6 to 7 meters deep with a hand dril, is very physical work. With a partner, I made just over 200 to characterise the geology and geomorphogenesis of the area between Culemborg and Beusichem spanning the area from the railway line to the river Lek.
the tank looks great!
@@NoobScapeuk thank you so much🙂
looks great , really like the beveled edges on the tank
@NoobScapeuk thank you🙌 love it aswell, the cube is from the company Dennerle
@NoobScapeuk The only downside of the bevelled edges that I have found is that it makes it easier for fish to jump out, unfortunately...though every tank comes with a matching glass lid wich is nice😊yet thr lid doesn't allow for the use of a external filter, as there are no openings for tubes.
Helping out lil Pierre possibly? 🙂
@@anjavanwijk409 maybe😅🙌
I created a new OPT (Old Plumber's Trick): For those little patches of green hair algae that pop up in my aquarium, I can remove quite a bit by twizzling it around a bathroom drain tool called a Drain Weasel, an 18" long flexible plastic stick with a Velcro tip that's meant to free drains of hair clogs. To discard it, unwrap the algae from the Drain Weasel by winding it in reverse from the Velcro tip.
@FrogCabin-in5wd sounds very interesting. I'll see if something like that is available here in Germany🙂
@@IDoScaping Amazon in Germany has them priced at €7.81 (Search there for "Drain Sink Snakes Drain Clog Remover Cleaning Tool")
I use muriatic acid to test rocks. It’s more acidic than vinegar and much safer and easier to get than than hydrocloric acid.
@evilone543 I will definitely try the muriatic acid rather. Thanks for the advice❤️🙌
Great tutorial video
@@mexicalifishkeeper thank you so much❤️
Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) kills BBA off completely, and just breaks down into water and oxygen. Get some into a spray bottle, spray down the entire tank, cover the tank, let it sit for a while and just scrape/wash off the tank after.
@jamescorrigan6063 Honestly, I never thought of that, though I did just go to town on it with a brush,vinegar, and lots of sun. It should be fine. I hope😅
@@IDoScaping It's always good to keep a bottle of the stuff around, in this hobby. A 3% solution is good for most applications. Direct dosage through a syringe into a tank to spot kill stubborn algae, to disinfect plants from dodgy sources before they go into a tank...
I like ur content. Pleass do not stop posting more videos. ❤❤
@@abeli6904 I'll definitely wount stop,thank you so much🙌❤️
I think those paving blocks are also safe for aquarium :). Nice simple scape tho, hope your friend will also have a fresh new one with suitable fish! Are the plants also there for years? If yes, they are doing great. Maybe too much sunlight and overfeed are causing bba. Good luck and keep doing the great work!
@civilexpo7974 Thank you so much, I do think that my friend did feed too much here and then. Tye tank was also close to the windows,so sunlight touch light,excessive nutrients, and too little maintenance could have caused the outbreaks. Though the plants have been there for that long to yes, anubias is a hardy and long-lasting plant. He is planning to get a nano cube soon, and I will most probably be there to help him set it up🙌🙂
