Nature's Chaos Aquascape 1 Year Old by James Findley

- www.thegreenmachineonline.com/... This 150 x 150 x 75 cm Nature Aquarium by professional aquascaper James Findley has matured well and is definitely one of the most stunning works we have ever had on display.
This film was shot in August 2012- just over a year after the aquascape was planted. It goes to show how, with good maintenance, a Nature Aquarium can last a very long time.
This is a follow up video to "The Making of Nature's Chaos" 30 minute documentary which can be viewed here- • Aquascape Tutorial "Na...
The sand was always supposed to be black like a volcanic island. We had some problems with the first batch of sand which is why in earlier coverage the sand is much lighter. The issues with the sand have since been rectified and we replaced the sand to fulfil James' original vision.
Of course, nothing comes close to seeing it for yourself, but because we know that not everyone can travel to see us regularly, we will be releasing more images of this beautiful Nature Aquarium as it progresses.
You can see more of James' iconic work throughout our website in our Aquascape Journal section and our Aquatics Gallery.

Thank you. It's feels good to share it with everyone... on UA-cam as well as in our shop... where visitors get to see it up close. :)
Please help us improve our videos by answering this short (less than 2 minute) survey! thegreenmachine.typeform.com/to/NiWcTO
Never knew how much work went into the fertilization.. he used so many things before he even added substrate or hardscape.. I'd looooove a beautiful setup like this but I doubt 'll ever afford those items, I saw about a dozen empty containers of stuff for just the very bottom.. probably like ten bucks a pop... mad respect to this Mr. Findley. This is true talent. I don't even recall seeing a filter, I may be drunk though, so that tank must be self reliant... oh man the level of love I have for this setup.. I believe the envy I have might not even stand a chance for the love
+Nny Sang I believe they used canister filters. The piping is very difficult to see and produces very little current. This tank and way more beautiful than anything I've ever created.
Seeing this many Tetra's is always great! Awesome tank, sweet scape. :)
The vision is much more complete now.
Brilliant work! I could probably watch this aquarium all day. Such beauty.
This is absolutely breathtaking. No words for it!
I love how the tetras and other fish seem drawn to the planted middle. This aquarium is so restful to watch. My favorite!
I just love this so much. Bravo to James for masterpiece. I would be over the moon if I was a fish living here.
I dont leave comments but this is absolutely beautiful....im going to be planting a 320L tank in the next few weeks and you have given me lots of idears and I will be useing products of your site im glad I stumbled accross this video....thanks for shareing your amazing work..
Funny. When I was watching the making of Nature's Chaos I thought that the outer ring would look much better with black sand rather than the lighter sand he chose to use initially. Glad he changed it. Looks great!
Beautiful! I love how the layout creates multiple worlds for the fish. It's like endless exploration since you can never see around the bend. I I ever have a room big enough to house a large tank, the island layout is deinitely my choise.
I LOVE IT!!! Thank you so much for this one!!
Nice.
Best setup i ever seen!!!!Magnificent!
wow stunning,the neon tetras look like birds it works perfectly.
tank has matured beautifully. Cardinals are my main and favourite fish collection but they pale into insignificance to your magnificent shoal, truly inspiring to see them do what they do best :)
I would love an aquarium like this, on a smaller scale, but I'm not passionate enough about it all to commit to the maintenance requirements so I appreciate looking at others' tanks.
amazing. truly inspiring art. hope to get to this level one day in my aquascapes..
Magnificient tank. But I noticed algea on the dwarf anubias. I find neritina snails to be extremely efficient on those. They're very adaptable, and can live for years. They also don't eat plants, and they all have a different shell pattern :) They lay many, long lasting eggs, which are very noticeable, especially on driftwood, but they won't hatch unless the water is salty enough, so no proliferation. Cheers for another great video, with equally great narration.
wow was that a year ago?? I still remember it like i watched it a week a go.
Just wonderful.
Really want to have a (much smaller) aquarium. But I hope it will capture a similar experience, unlike most overcrowded or plain boring tanks.
Will watch your other videos of smaller aquarium for ideas.
Bloody hell a year soon fly's by, That is simply a masterpiece
So stunning : )
This is a combination of things... 1. At 5ft this tank is very deep, so you are looking through more water from all angles... this means that any sediment in the water is more visible. (try looking down the length of your tank instead of the width and you may notice a difference). 2. The video was shot using fairly low light so the noise level is quite high.
Awesome!
this is amazing!!!
I wish you could come to Norway to plant in my 130 L aquarium. I'm a big fan of you, love what you do, it's so incredibly beautiful.
wow that is so beautiful.
just awesome
the tank is looking great after a year !
That is dope and mesmerising to have at home
amazing, you sir are an artist! just wish I had the money to hire you to work one of your miracles in my house, ive tried but I could not hope too create something like that! truly magnificent! if I had that I don't think I could help feeling uplifted if I could observe that everyday. amazing!
Did anyone else notice the Farlowella Catfish? : )
I have one in my 55 gallon. She's amazing. About 6-7" in length and very calm. I could literally pet her and she wouldn't budge.
I have one farlowella. Shes about 6.5" long. Doing great. Very peaceful and calm fish. Doesn't need much more than just several decent pieces of driftwood to side on.
Very impressive...
beautiful
Lol the shrimp takes a shit at 2:34
as he says "creates a natural feeling"
Amazing
simply stunning!
some info on the filtration system behind this aquascape would be intyeresting, pls!
love all the little corys
I must come to your shop and see this for real..your a long way away but I have a feeling it would be worth it!
amazing
2:35 there goes the poop...
lol so close.
Haha, i just realized how immature i am.
awsome!
Keep your eyes on our website, UA-cam channel (best to subscribe), facebook page and/or e-newsletter.
awesoome man
stunning and beautiful! thank you for sharing this! i do have a question, though i hesitate to ask it: i'm torn on the water here. the tank looks vibrant, but the water seems a bit…cloudy? is that because it's super (?) organic (?), or recently disturbed? i only ask because my experience with most of these kinds of tanks is insanely clear water. again, not a complaint! i would love to have this tank myself! just…observing and wondering…. thanks! :-)
There's a few Costello tetras in there, they get much more excited than the neon tetras when there's food around.
Awesome!! I hav a doubt,Do u change water???
good job
Super !
One of these in my room. lol I could stare at it all day.
cant believe its been a year. wow
If there's enough plants to remove all the nitrates and phosphates, do you still have to change the water or just add water to take the place of the evaporated water?
did the tannins ever stop or does the water still turn yellow?
amazing. I would like to this.
can you please tell us what kind of fish are in their (shrimp and other animals included please)
2:36 ..."authentic natural feeling" ;)
I love your tanks, what types of cory cats are those?
green laser cories
hope there's a new project coming soon?
Prachtig TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like it much more with the darker sand... i didn't realize how much the sand needed to be darker until this video, but looking back at the documentary the lighter sand just looks wrong now.
how to feed the fish and all at that tank?
where can i get the assesories to make this aqua.i from malaysia
Wow :)
How many tetra are in there? Impressive shoal.
What's the plant at 2:41? It looks like hygrophilia corymbasa but I'm not sure
no words to say...
make my eyes feel cool
feelings into words..
What a beautiful tank. Though small fish don't interest me. I would lover the water to slightly below the wood and put my pet turtle in the tank.
What is the tall reddish plant called?
that has to be at least 300 tetras? looks amazing when they group up :D
would you tell the list of the fish, please?
art 3:29 does anyone know why this one fish is darting around the surface?
Where is the store?
Guess changing the sand does effects the cloudiness of the water
Why is the water cloudy?
Does this aquarium need air pump to provide oxygen?
No. The plants in the tank provide a ton of oxygen as it is. If they're adding anything, it's most likely CO2 for the plants. Otherwise, no need for excess O2. Also the massive water surface provides aeration.
Why is the stones growing algae? Is it because the water is too dirty? Or the fertilizer is overdose?
The overall looks is beautiful though.
Hi, algae exists in every tank, it is a part of nature and cannot be avoided. Algae growth occurs if there is nutrients in the water and lighting is provided. Having a planted aquarium perfectly algae free is not only near impossible but unnatural. Remember that algae is also a "plant" or living organism similar to plants and does its job in helping the tank remain "balanced". As you can see from the video the water is crystal clear and with all those plants in the tank plus a filter how can it be dirty? Algae can also bloom if fertilizer is overdosed yes.
Oh I see... It's natural to grow algae as it is part of the nature. Right. Thanks for the reply.
I get confuse as there are people in UA-cam mention its something wrong if the algae grows in the aquarium.
Algae exist in every single (unfiltered) drop of water. Just fill a big clean glass tank with normal drinking bottled water and place a normal house light bulb on top of it. Put some sort of lid on it to make sure not a lot of water evaporates away. Do not put any other thing in the water at all. Leave it untouched for a month or two, or a bit more, and you will be surprised with what you will find growing in it.
What's the name of the high red plant? Thanks.
+Tiger Barb
Looks like red aponogeton crispus
On their website it says that this set up is £4400 (without fish).
watching this video while listening to this will destroy you. Blowin my mind
I'm working on something very similar to this in a 40 gallon breeder
how did it work out ?
Does the water look a little dirty or is that my imagination?
Why do the neon's school so tightly in this setup? Its rare to see that behavior in aquariums even with larger potentially predators.
Neon tetras naturally school together. As long as you've got them in larger quantities, they will school. It's completely normal and beautiful!
How is this filtered?
I'm pretty sure they use filters in their tanks, in another video someone also asked if they used a filter in one of their scapes and TGM answered yes. Maybe they took out the in and outake part of the filter for filming purposes (im quite sure the filter is right below the tank)
That is correct :)
In fact, near the end of the video one can see two pipes tied together going down/up one corner of the aquarium.
They use a external canister filter, and use a glass lily pipe for the suction and the water return.
I wish i could make my tank like this:(
That the soil used here?
ADA Aquasoil amazonia. Unbelievable expensive but very good stuff. £34.99 ($58.42) for a 9L bag
We think it's excellent value for money, when plant growth is your aim. Read ADA's plant substrate comparison article here: www.thegreenmachineonline.com/articles/news/adas-substrate-article-characteristics-substrate-materials-unperceivable-just-their-ap
what's the fish with the very long tail?
Most likely a Whiptail Catfish
Farlowlla Catfish.
I miss this tank! I hate the jungle version.
imagine trying to keep inventory of fish to see if there are no dead ones lol
put a couple small turtles In this
holy fucking shit!
I want to release our 16 year old red-eared slider into this. He would love it. He also would destroy/eat all the plants and eat all the fish.
the shrimp pooped!
did anyone else see the ferowella cat??? :)
2:35 It pooped :D
Probably just tannins or dark water on purpose.
the red Shrimp pooped
this will cost a fortune to build.
