I love how George loves all the things that she considers an accident. 😂
“There are no mistakes in art, just happy accidents!” Bob Ross ❤️
Rachel’s tanks are beautiful! Lovely to see another lady aquascaper making superb scapes, crazy talented. Love those tanks!
Thanks so much for sharing! I love Rachael's scapes. Little slices of nature bringing this wonderful sense of peace and coziness to different corners of her home! Just lovely!
I love watching your content, all these tanks are just so amazing 🤩
God’s wonderful creation
Love the scapes and all the uploads george 😁
This was a beautiful and funny tour at the same time! Loved it!!!
Great tanks! Priceless reaction when George tells Rachael how heavy the tanks are🤣😂
😂 Hahaha!
@@REscapes hi Rachel what’s the shallow tank called please I’ve been looking for one for a while now and love the size of yours 😊
@@apaquatics6172 it's a ciano 40 tartarium (they're marketed as turtle tanks) but they do make a good shallow tank, they come in a 60 and an 80cm version too... Which in hindsight I should of got given how much the fish breed in there 😅
Beautiful tanks all over the place. I love it 🥰
Love this tour and Her scapes. Thank you for sharing! Cheeri-O! - Little Bobby
George, this was one of the most comical tours I’ve seen. Love it. Cheers!
Wow! If I could just have that amount of algae then I'd be extremely happy 😂 I can't get the algae in my one tank under control and Rachel has loads of tanks all looking amazing, well done Rachel, think I'll just have to start again and hope for the best.
Or let it burn out. introduce floaters they will take out nutrients and filter light. a killer way of reducing algae, reduce lighting fertilize the soil not the water and have patience
I've tried all of these and more. Cutting the blue spectrum from the light (if LED RBG). Reducing light intensity. Less natural light. More frequent water changes. Adding UV sterilisation. More CO2. Chihiros Steriliser. More Ferts. Less Ferts.
What did I miss?
@@shrimperlincs3395 you have to make one change at a time and take your time to observe I have a shrimp tank that I battled for six months then I just let it do it’s thing and now it’s my most beautiful tank once you find the right balance every thing will align and you will be rewarded for your patience
@@xhongxina286 very kind of you to give me some pointers, im going to introduce floaters. The tank has been running for nearly 2 years now with ADA Amazonia substrate, I've battled algae for ages, however, do you have any recommendations on substrate fertiliser? I've posted my fight against algae on UKAPS btw in the algae section, have 2 videos there, just posted this evening.
@@shrimperlincs3395 wow, thats a real battle you got going there! I hope you can find a solution, its not nice having to keep fighting against it.
I love this content George, really inspired with her scape!
Lovely tanks all of them!
I love it. The low tech tanks are my favorite too. All my tanks are low tech, but the java fern growth is immense on the tank with CO2, I'm jealous. I have to agree with George, in my experience, java ferns do not grow dense and lush in low tech. Anubias grows best for me in blackwater or heavily shaded tanks, but only become algae farms in regular tanks with normal lighting. You just have to enjoy the algae sometimes lol. I appreciate all these wonderful tours, George. I can't wait to see your mbuna tank. Take care.
Thanks Phil! 😀
Deffo agree with anubias and algea issues under high lighting, at least in my experience, it's always a bit of a challange in my tank getting the light at the right intensity for the stems but low enough to stop algea appearing on the edges of the anubias!
@@REscapes Do you have soft water? I always find Java Fern doesn't do very well in hard water. Always struggled with it.
@@andreashessler838 yeah it is soft where I am so I'm pretty lucky there!
@@REscapes I'm in the East Midlands. Pretty hard here. I don't use CO2 anymore (although that certainly helped) and have narrowed down the plants that do well low-tech in harder water. I just stick with those now.
Wow. Beautiful tanks! Thanks for sharing!
Very good, excellent eye for layout demonstrated - soft tap water a big helping hand for plant health and easy maintenance? Though with all that carpet I would be in constant trouble for making a mess. Interesting for me not to see great mounds of aquatic soil, either well hidden or not heavily used? Informative and entertaining as usual George, thanks.
Thank you for introducing us to fine aquascapers who don’t use CO2. I don’t have anything against CO2, but as someone who works shifts away from home, it’s an impossibility for me in case the gas runs out while I’m away, so high tech aquascapers will never inspire me the way so-called low tech aquascapers can.
As a Middlesbrough lad myself this is superb 👌 some awesome scapes also !! Got a 240l myself and a spare 200l tank which I'm considering setting up but worried about the energy bills going to high then you see this many tanks and it all seems to not matter 😂👍 quality content as always George
All the best
Haha! I won't lie when the electricity bill comes in there's a moment of dread 😂 especially atm! But to be fair the nano tanks aren't to bad but eventually I will condense down to a more sensible number... I say this! I also might not 😅 its hard giving up a tank! Lol
@@REscapes I suppose it's all worth it when they look as good as yours do and the fun is always in thinking up new ideas for many scapes 👌I suppose a 200l to go with the 240l woulnt be too bad !! Again love the set ups and to see them on a big channel like George's must make you proud it's great to see someone put Middlesbrough on the map for aquascapes 😁👍 well done
Take care
It'll get better in the summer when the heaters don't kick in as much.
Beautiful tanks, I enjoyed the tour! 💚
Beautiful little tanks!
Really cool walk around and a real passion and love for all the inhabitants and the hobby 🙌🏻
Great news about Rachel being on Tropica live too, will look forward to that 😃
What I have also taken from the video is that the tank rack scares me and I need Rachel to suggest some lottery numbers so I can put them on quick sharp….lots of cool winnings in there 😃
Haha 🤣 Ive put it on many times, the lottery is one thing I can't seem to win!
I know it scared me too! 😱 Luckily I went and looked back on the website I bought it from and it's actuall 100kg per shelf because George gave me a mini I heart attack when he added it all up 😂
@@REscapes 🤣🤣 it looked solid without bowing but those tiny metal racks made me tick slightly with 3 rows of tanks. So pleased to hear your well within tolerance, it has actually eased my mind so I can’t imagine how you felt 🤣
I bet your buzzing but terrified about Tropica live.
@@AdyM35 I don't know where I got 50kgs from 😅 phew! It is an industrial rack so I remeber when buying it looking for something heavy duty and I lined the shelves with some clear perspex to help distribute the weight so the tanks didn't sit on wire, and thankfully they seem to be going strong 😅
And thank you it's really exciting, nerve racking! (parden the rack pun) but certainly a once in a life time experience, I'm extremely thankful!
very clean, very beautiful, very nice tanks and girl)
Thanks, dear George,for your video
Lovely tanks! 👍🏻
Love the video overall
I love the shelf unit display something I would like to do
Such amazing tanks please could I ask what the tank is on top of the shelf’s the shallow on please ?
That was wonderful. I much prefer low tech tanks.
Great scapes👍
Wow . My two favorite scappers.. loves from srilanka ❤️
Match made in heaven there George lad! Your perfect companion!! lol
What lights are placed on the aquariums in the shelving. Like the lights that are placed on the bottom of the top shelf that light the two betta tanks from above?
Lovely tanks
Nice tanks. Love the one on the top shelf. Very curious what bulb is in the 'nothing fancy' desk lamp.
I can't tell you exactly what it is because I stole it out of our old kitchen lights 😅 so when this goes faulty I'll be hard pressed to find a replacement but it's about 5000k 'cool white, bulb
@@REscapes o, cool that really isn't too fancy. We've been planning to get some more plants in our Irish farmhouse with very small windows (so not much natural light..), but don't really want to imvest in expensive grow light. This might actually do the trick 👍 thanks!
Cool!!! 💚💚💚
Is there a name for the rock arrangement on the bottom (middle) of the ikea shelf?
I'm not sure but it's essentially like a dry 3 stone iwagumi... I guess? I had some spare stones and a bowl so I just made it 😅
@@REscapes It's cool I like it :)
that rack can hold the weight. I use the same (but larger) and mine can hold 350lbs per shelf
Pepsi lol 😆
awesome
The Betta should be renamed to Coca with surname Cola to put justice on its color. Lowtech aquascape with anubias ferns bettas guppies is alway a treat.
What kind of light is on the big tank
do you know what lights are used on her 30cm cube
Shoryuken!!! (Top-tip: Dragon punch the algae out of your aquarium)
😂
@@REscapes Thanks for showing off your lovely aquariums and fish, your plants look so healthy; I'm very jealous! 👍
Super tanks🙂👌👏🔥🇵🇱
hi, the tank with the killifish - may i ask how long they are in the tank already?
How many tanks ???!!! 😀 I counted 11
mint tanks
First!
TOP
Just curious..What is the temperature of the tanks.
The Bettas are all at 25.5C and the main big fish tank is about 24C
What a beautiful lady with beautiful tanks.
WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THIS LOWTEC
Yep. Such an insulting term, isn’t it? And as George says, so-called low tech is much closer to nature: when’s the last time you saw a CO2 tank hooked up to supply the local creek? 🙄
How is this low -tech if it has CO2 ? click bait.
