Evolving My Massive 170 Gallon Monstera Fish Tank After One Year - Detailed Process

  • After 1 year, I redesigned my 170 gal / 650-liter monstera aquarium a bit. Many of you suggested that sand would look better in the foreground, so I replaced the plants with a small sandy area. You were right, it does indeed look much better this way. Check out the process in my video, where I share a lot of information with you.

      I thought it looked beautiful with the grassy foreground, but indeed the sand did brighten it up and added interest. Very beautiful tank and garden!!

    Strong water flow is so unnecessary. Actually it is the main cause for algae. All my tanks don't have any filters and I NEVER have problems with algae. The floating plants are the chief in maintenance.

    Bonjour ce bac est réellement magnifique. Nous aimons bien parfois remanier un peu nos aquariums histoire de leur donner un nouveau paysage j'ai également remanier le weekend dernier un de mes bacs en mettant du sable blanc sur les deux extrémités cela agrandit les espaces par contre il faut davantage de maintenance pour garder un beau sable blanc merci pour cette vidéo musique d'ambiance également très agréable.

    Sand with no water filtration through it and you are asking for a zero oxygen environment. Look out for Cyanobacteria.

    • @DesignRobPearce
      @DesignRobPearce Місяць тому

      How do you mean ‘through it - like an under-gravel filter? Nearly all of aquariums I’ve ever seen use sand straight on the bottom, even Amano, sometimes to cap soil admittedly but that eventually creates a big mess and is hard to maintain.

    Large and planted tanks, with small fish, are natural looking and are 'ethical' . Pool sand/play pit sand seems a fine medium for many plants in my experience and the aesthetics are better than the soil and gravel piled up against the front glass.
    Excellent, thank you.

    Looks amazing, love how chill all your videos are. Have you thought about drying out the monstera leaves that you cut and using them as botanicals in your tanks? I know not all leaves are safe to use in this way so would need to do some research but it would be a very cool texture to have down on the substrate.
