    40K what a milestone my friend! And again a great VLOG, a nice journey in our aquascaping world. Keep on scaping George! See you next week in Budapest! Can not wait to meet with you again :)

    At the beginning of this video I really didn't think I'd like this tank, because it's such an odd shape. But oh my goodness, this is definitely in my top five favorite tanks that you've scaped!! It turned out wonderfully, and it is absolutely stunning. I really hope you do an update video on this later, because I'd love to see how it looks once it fills in. Great job, George!
    As for fish, I'd love to see a huge school of smaller fish in there, maybe serpae tetras, gold barbs, Odessa barbs or purple emperor tetras? Or a combination of a few different species? (Odessa barbs are my top pick.) This tank almost looks otherworldly to me, and I'm afraid putting any large fish in there would ruin that effect. Though I'm sure angelfish would be stunning in here as well!

    I CANNOT WAIT to see the update on this tank once it grows out! About half way through the planting I started thinking what a beautiful tank for South American fish like Angels :) I would love to see some pearl scale marbles. The pearl scale on their round bodies would look amazing as they wander in and out of the shade. Also a shoal of both black and white skirt tetras. Though common and not the showiest of fish, they are incredibly fun to watch in a large tank with so many open-ended hiding places within vegetation.
    Yet another impressive aquascape. Please keep this great content coming George!

      Definitely agree 👍. I bought a new tank and it's about 55cm in height from the top of the glass to the bottom. Im finding it really hard to imagine how I'd aquascape. I am wanting a natural look and like the setup in the video. I don't have much imagination so will be hard for me to scape it

    Really nice aquascape, fantastic piece of wood. You've created an interesting shaded area under the root that has good visibility from the front of the tank - would go with some fish that likes that and could disappear easily in a different layout. Could see a school of glass cats hanging out there during the day for example. Or elephant nose, black ghost knifefish perhaps..

    1- This aquascape is absolutely STUNNING!
    2- The dimensions of the tank look original, great design that maintains the practicality.
    What would be the minimum budget for something in the likes of this one?
    3- Angelfish? Heck yeah!
    Corydora would have a hard time with all those bottom plants, so those I would exclude.
    To emphasize the height, maybe Hatchetfish.
    For the middle column, a nice school of Rummynose (not sure if they're big enough not to get eaten though) and tall bodied tetras of the Hyphessobrycon family.
    Keep on Scaping 🐟🌿

      Its still hard to imagine how to aquascape. I bought a aqua one aquastyle 620T which is 62L x 39d x 72h (cm) so it does have some height to it. I bought a tall red moor wood piece which hopefully will take up the height and width of the tank. i also bought some mountain rocks to put along the wood. I got some natural looking sand which i hope suits the rocks and wood.

    I have a question, if you ever have time. If one is using a substrate with low initial nutrient content but high CEC, would "charging" it be a good idea. That is, soaking it in a solution of the fertilizer used in the tank before aquascaping with it? I might try this with some Eco Complete that I have and wondered whether you had any thoughts.
    Keep on scaping!
