Big fan of your work George, especially the Iwagumi style .. that really shines
Thanks 😊
Woah that depth of the tank is beautiful .. so much space to create depths for the scape!
Nice one George and Pete. Look forward to part 2
That is a beautiful scape George! Can’t wait to see the plants grow in :)
Love your passion, knowledge and, of course, aquariums.
Thanks Errol 🙏
I used some tension in my most recent nano scape after watching your hardscaping basics videos, it really does make a difference :D
Awesome work. Like the music as well. Very chilled and layed back.
To be continued... TO BE FOLLOWED, for sure! Awesome work guys. Congrats (y)
Monte Carlo... my nemesis !! Great tank , I did not think the rocks would fit in, that tank is deep !!
Pete is a lucky dude! 😎 great video!
awesome scape. amazing work
Thanks 🙏
looks awesome,clean and simple
Oh and the tank looks awesome as usual. Goes without saying
Awesome video George. Production is really pro! And thank you again for lending your expertise to create this amazing aquarium. 😃 Really excited for part 2 😊
as always, beautiful scape...
You have an aura of calmness and pleasantness about you which i like.. On top of that you produce some wonderful videos where i feel compelled to watch right to the very end.

Thanks so much. And I love your username! 🤣
Another great video
Great work again George!
Very nice Iwagumi style. Great mainstone. Good job! Looking forward to an update of this tank :D
Beautiful aquascape. Good job
Keep us updated with this. Would love to see the stocking and growth too
Beautiful scape George. 👍😀
Looks amazing
Beautiful scape as always George! You're videos are a great inspiration! Keep on scaping man!
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch! And very inspiring! I got an empty 36g I'm planning on scaping soon. Thanks for posting and sharing your work
Nice! Good to see someone else uses lava at the bottom! I do use larger pieces for better aeration but either work great 👍
Nice video George. I like that you mention tension and flow and how to create it with stones. Maybe some more topics, like balance without symmetry, creating drama, etc. for future videos? - Shawn Mac
Honestly so glad I subbed to your channel, superb advice.
Thanks!
As always truly amazing
I'm excited
Cool scape, very good work, thanks! More of it!
great video! love the explanation on the iwagumi concept from a newbie point of view that knows very little about aquascaping XD
Nice Video!
That is an awesome rock with a lot of character, I do plan to do something like this in the future, lots of dirt, big rock or bogwood with a defined slope and a lot of carpet plants, in the the front and middle, but want large tall plants in the back corners to over shadow. ONE Day. You are a great inspiration and very talented to come up with so many ideas. Love you videos
Thanks Terry! 👍
Perfect timing mate! I am going to be aquascaping a nano Iwagumi soon! Using elephant stone! Thanks for the tips and ideas.
Cheers bro. Give me a shout out if you like 😎
ADU did I miss the build?
Doing an early video catch up today. I hadn't seen this one yet, good scape and a very informative video as always. And yes, you're definitely back with the minimalistic iwagumis which is good to see as you sure know how to create them.
Great vid George. Think I am going to buy one of these tanks :D
Great video material. 😊
looks great
Cheers George :) Well done great tank and very good quality on the video work! :)
Aaahhhhh....Wish I'd known about the Volcano Mineral last week. I've just used 36 litres of Amazonia in my new 500. Every day's a school day!!
very good job i like
A video about the twinstar would be great, i see them in many of your videos
Share it with us the new up date!!
You should make a video about choosing the right stone colour and size and how it relates to the measurements of the fish tank.
Nice👍
good vid! needed it!
Nice b-roll!
Thanks Brian 👍
Hello, I'm watching you from turkey. I follow you very much
This was an extremely informative and really helpful video. Thanks for sharing! I love the iwagumi style. New sub!
is there an updated photo/video of Pete's tank? I would love to see how it's grown over the past year
Thanks Jennifer and welcome to the channel! Pete has re-Scaped his tank now. If you’re on Instagram you can follow him @flappinganimal 👍🙏💚
NiCe George. This give me idea. Excellent. By the way, how long after will you pour water inside the tanks and also livestock.
Sempre bons conteúdos
top as always
looks amazing. Thanks for the inspiration! Do you know anything about using rocks like these in vivariums?
Love this scape overtime will you loose that slope and will it all become level
Amazing george. Is there a follow up vid?
Really nice aquascape George 👌🏻 Working through some of your older videos to help me with my set up, just wandered if it was helanthium tenellum ‘Green’ you used?
whats the purpose for using the lava rocks ? isit similar to ada substrate ?
Apesar de não entender o que o George fala mas gosto muito do canal
Looks like you may have a few hour drive to do the follow up video. If Mr. Peter will have you, that is.
Dear Gorge. Do you have hobbits living in your home, a small white door on the left aquarium? Very nice scape !
PawelTestuje haha. That's my under stairs cupboard. 😂
Lol
If not hobbits, then do you have a harry potter in there?
TheSillyPepper just a vacuum cleaner, some old aquarium lights, a printer and an old blanket. No mythical or magical beings I'm afraid. Or is that just a cover up? 😉
Hi George, beautiful setup. I have seen you use the volcanic mineral a couple of times when doing steep banked layouts, but won't it be difficult when rescaping the tank not to get the soil and the mineral mixed up? This would force you to replace all the soil?
Yes, it happens to me but it doesn’t matter too much.
I need to know. This specific aquascape but also other scapes I've seen, is the amount of substrate (talking about depth) cause problems? I've been looking into planted tanks and heard too much depth causes stagnant areas without any flow/oxygen present. Anyone have info on whether it's okay for certain circumstances. If this tank is less than a 6month setup then it makes sense but for a "multiple year setup" can you add lots of substrate like this?
Very nice indeed! Did you notice the lamp that you are wearing as a hat? :P
I absolutely destroyed my MC and Tacky Moss. It looked like junk ended up tossing it. Disappointed lol the moss looked good but until I chopped it up wanting to put on Seiryu stone it just looked like a PLUNK of moss. The glue I ordered is safe but turns white if you mess with it the wrong way (or too long) I guess. Sucks for my first try. Ended up restarting and only using my dwarf hair mini which looks really good now. Any advice?
Nice work! What do you think about the dry start method?
Hi George, great video as usual and love the layout. Hope you see my question. I’m curious about the seiryu stone. I’m about to scape my 90p. I’ve seen you use it in many aquascapes but does it affect the water parameters significantly or have any effects on plants, fish or shrimp (thinking more cherry/neo than caridinas) in a long term aquascapes? The prices locally for 20kg of ada manten vs seiryu are quite significant. Or does the soil, wood and large water changes off set the effects?
It does boost hardness but I find with my large water changes it’s not an issue 👍
Awesome layout. Using the Scapers soil, do you need to have it cycled for ammonia? I’m getting ready to purchase some Amazonia soil online as there is no one here that sells it locally.
I have had a reef tank for many many years and watching your videos has inspired me to give a planted tank a go.
Thank you
Shouldn’t need cycling but test it for ammonia anyway 👍
is there a chance anyone found a similar looking cabinet thats available in europe ?
Again it’s a lovely iwagumi. How did Pete decide on which stones to buy ? For tank like this size, how many stones do we need r
“ how many stones do we need to buy
I went down to Aquarium Gardens, an aquascaping shop in the UK. They have an area where you can try put different hardscape in sand before you buy them. George helped me pick out some really nice sized rocks for the Aquascaper 600 tank. 🙂
flappinganimal that’s great I might visit them within next two weeks, already in discussion with Dave. Nice shop and collection
kannan kanagaraj Definitely get down there, love the shop. The gallery tanks are stunning too.
Also why AS600 and why not AS900 ? I am in this confusion now, any tips why you chose 600 pls.
Hi George, I'm not sure how to measure glass clarity, and here in the States, can we get that aquarium? I know some dealers/shops here in the States offers ADA tanks, and some even say sapphire glass tanks are better. What should we look for here in the States? Thanks!
Hope you don't mind if I answer! UNS is probably the top seller for low iron/ultra clarity rimless tanks here. Buceplant, Glass Aqua, and Aqua Lab Aquaria sell them, while Aqua Forest Aquarium sells ADA tanks.
Will the Monte Carlo melt then re-establish it’s self for underwater growth?
No, shouldn’t do. Tissue culture are grown submerse 👍
Hi George, could you tell me; is the lighting included with the purchase of this model of aquarium?
How much kg in total on the rocks
Will there be a follow up soon George as it must of grown in by Now
I’m revisiting this Thursday 👍
Your videos gave me the inspiration to do an Iwagumi planted tank of my own. Please look at my 15 gallon Iwagumi " I think" build I posted on my channel. Any advise would be appreciated.
George, where can I buy a cabinet like that? Thanks.
Hey george i live in california usa and was wondering if the evolution aqua tank and cabinet products can be shipped to my are. If not any plans in the future to make it available in the usa?
Hi Gary. Hopefully soon! I’ll let everyone know when they are available over there. 👍
I too would choose this tank over all others if it shipped to the U.S.
edges of my plants are getting melted and leaves look bit transparent ....can u give me a tip to get rid of it ?
tnx
Are the tanks available in the us?
Hi is the bag of soil u use in this vid the 8 liter one or the 4? Thank you
8
Sry I have one more question. Where do you get that lava rock? It’s all good if u don’t remember, the vid was made a while ago. Thanks so much!
I want a 600....
Thanks for the video George. by the way, for the dry start method, do you need to mix liquid fertilizer to water for spraying? and also, do you need to open a small hole on the tank cover while covering the tank to let air get inside the tank?
Hi Jess, no need for ferts if you’re using soil. Small hole is ok or completely seal and open for a few mins every day or so.
Thanks for the info George..by the way, I glued my weeping moss on the rock but I've over glued it. will the moss be ok with it ? or should I replant the weeping moss again?
It’ll be ok 👍
Are those Oase filters any good?
Yes
George Farmer thanks mate, beautiful scape as usual, amazing rocks.
Is this stone also called Zebra stone??
Mini Landscape Rock
what is the rocks?
Seiryu Stone
Is that furniture made of concrete?
No. Wood with special coating
Thanks!
Who in Australia is distributing or selling? hard to find
Subscape in Melbourne will be stocking it soon
Is the aquarium cabinet only available in the UK ? I would love to get something like that in Canada ! Also, very pretty aquascape :)
Currently UK, Australia and Denmark
I'm in the USA...I'd buy one in a second if I could. Love your videos!
Hi George, love your work. Could you expand on availability? I'd love to buy a AS600 + stand, I live in Denmark but have a hard time finding a distributor/reseller willing to ship, any recomendations? Keep scapin'.
Thanks! Try Bonnie Helsinge 👍
Thanks! Will do! :D
Why is alge bad for aqua scaping?
id like to know too.
When it become so prolific it can spoil the aesthetic for some people. In a planted tank it’s also a sign that the system isn’t balanced in some way.
@@GeorgeFarmerStudios is a little alge healthy? im new to fish tanks.
A little is natural 👍
Thanks for the response. I'm going to start a planted tank soon, and I'm trying to research the heck out of this. Lol
Name of carpet plzz
Micranthemum Monte Carlo
fINALLY...............................................................SOMEONE who actually say "something
That master stone is to centered...it should be off the side..
Each to their own. 👍
Is it me, or is this man a total hottie?
