I love the art that you bring to aquascaping.
@@christinetaylor6110 Thank you Christine, that’s so kind ☺️
2 islands. Super cool!!!
This is one of your best videos ever! Thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍
My favorites are the tree trunk, river scape and the diagonal!!!
Thank you, John, that means a lot to me. I had fun making it ☺️
A great overview of aquascaping design. As Amano did, nature is my inspiration which leaves so many options. I have used most of these styles. The other thing to consider is negative space or open space. So concave, convex, dividing path, caves, underpasses, overhangs, etc.
Wonderful ideas! I think the riverbank style is my fav. I look forward to seeing your 22 long when complete!
Isn’t it just so dreamy?? 🤩
All excellent 👌
Hi! It’s hard for me to decide on favorites, but I am really drawn to the calm, sprawling design of #11. Plus cool use of rocks including the petosky stones. I also do love a tunnel or archway. So many nice scapes! Happy Wednesday 😊
Thanks for voting! ☺️ it’s bugging me but I have not found the majority of those petosky stones. I stashed them somewhere very very “safe”. Happy Wednesday to you too! ☺️☺️☺️
Have you ever tried the Supernatural Peace River gravel? Nice small mini stones so you can make a house with this gravel as a walkway with a water sprite on each side of the house as a tree. Just a thought.
Oh yes, I do love peace river and …jungle river together with it. Carib sea has such a great assortment! Both perfect sizes for miniature work ☺️
Yay! One of your best videos ever. Glad to see you showing aquascapes again and not just tips. Can't decide which scape that I like the best. I'm going to have to play this video several more times to make a decision. I currently have a 6 gallon long bookshelf tank that I just filled with water and threw some wood and a few plants into to start it cycling. Problem is I'm finding out that it's just 1-2 inches too short in reality for the vision that I have in my head. Definitely like the fallen log riverbank type of scape. I have a few specimens of Anubias barteri and coffeefolia that are not too tall yet. I also have some nana petite and buce. The wood is dragonwood. I have Val., dwarf sag, pogostemmon stellatus, anachronis, and others. Can't decide yet which is going to make the final cut. Decisions, decisions. Wish that I could send them to you and have you do the scape. 😅
Haha then we both wouldn’t be able to decide how to scape it! 😆. Sounds like you have a lot of fun goodies to play with but I’ve had that happen so many times where something is just not the right size. Frustrating. Good luck!
Like the last one. Almost exactly how my 20 long adf tank is scaped 😊
How fun! So peaceful ☺️
@@thesmallscape it is. Had a pair and they actually had babies. Only ten made it to be tiny frogs but watching the transformation was so fun. Highly recommend
I love the double island style. It allows you to leave an open area for the fish while planting heavily on each end of the tank. Great examples!
Someday when I have the space, I want to put together a gallery of micro tanks, like under .5 gal just so I can play with scaping in different styles and different shapes of tank. I'm super inspired by the PNW 40oz with sump.
That would be super fun AND adorable!
Very good suggestions on what to use for scaping. I like these ideas. Dragon Stone is cool 😎. If you break it right, it will look like a skull of a dragons head with the hole in the stone for its eye socket.
Haha! Nice- love it! I do love it also for ease of breaking it
Great video! Very inspirational! Maybe I‘ll buy a third tank…🤔😂
🙌😆
my water is such high pH (8.4) that I cannot grow java fern, I even tried aquarium co-op's easy green and that is not helping either. 😞
I just finished my first scape! Well, at least the hardscape part. I'm still obsessing over plant choices. I have no idea what you'd call it. Maybe an island with tunnels on the sides? Spiderwood and river rock. 😊
Sounds cool!! Choosing plants can be the toughest part - good luck!
Great video. Theres so many cool plants that despite my original plan - mine is now a jungle tank an i have a feeling thats how any tank i do will end up turning out !!
Very helpful 👌 thanks😊 i enjoy each tank ❤ # 10 is my favorite. Caught my eye 👍👍
Thanks for your vote, John! I will enjoy attempting that style ☺️
That river bank idea also good for a bonsai penjing. Cool 😎
Great ideas thank you
You make it look so easy! The island version…what filtration would you use to replace the sponge filters…but on a 75 gallon? I’m trying to “move up” and have been encouraged by my husband to make the 75 (that will be sitting on our buffet and a definite eye catching place) more of a show tank. He means without all the “Stuff” showing 😂 Any suggestions, oh and I have picked up a fluval 407 canister…my first.
Have you ever tried to add aquatic isopods to your aquascapes? I recently "discovered" them and am curious why I don't see them used in scapes.
Number 5, I would call it, lion king under water. Beautiful scapes Joanna
Love the tunnel scape.
Coincidentally I was out today foraging river stones for my new 20 long.
Still unsure of what it's inhabitants will be. Maybe Colombian Tetras.
Great ideas. I have my classic jungle scape. Crazy plants everywhere. Nano fish and shrimps like it a lot 🙂
All beautiful scapes Joanna love the video 👍👍
Number 11 is my favourite, but it is so hard to keep that sand clean.
I have a bare bottom tank. I enjoy your videos, they are so beautiful and creative. I hope that once my overtime ends I can emulate a beautiful tank.
Such a great video, you are killing me with ideas!😀 Now I want to redo my tanks.
I have a 36 bow front that's been sitting empty for over two years 🤦....but, when I do get ready and have time to scape it and set it up, I really want to do one of those underwater forests
I didn't realize it before now, but I have a combination fallen tree/tunnel in all 3 of my nanotanks. It's fun to watch the shrimp playing on the branch and crawling through the tunnel.
That poor fish swimming up and down the glass of that tiny tank is giving me anxiety.
Love that last one. Gorgeous
What is the dark stone in #11?
Here to learn!
Great ideas
💙💙💚💚
Very nice and calming video! I am having my grade 7 class plan and build a 20 gallon high tank and this video is a great summary of options for scapes!
Thanks so much, Mrs M! How fun is THAT for your class! 🌟 🙌🌱
Great idea for vid especially for folks with MTS
Haha! Thanks, Lee. ☺️
I lived in Gatlinburg for eight month in the early 90s I’ve been to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park quite a few times I used to have pieces of fossilized wood from one of the rivers I wish I still had them I’d use them in my aquariums💯🌱🦐🐠💙🔥
Oh wow, what a beautiful area! I have a number of cool finds from that area as well…if I could only find them haha.
Great scaping ideas fun to watch and learn. Thanks for sharing!
So happy to hear it! Thanks for stopping by! ☺️
I am setting up a new 125 gallon and I like your two island style. But, I may change one of the islands into a tunnel. Thanks for the ideas.
Cool idea!
When you have driftwood cut off flat you can use a dremel tool to round it so it looks more natural.
Yes! You are correct. I need to make sure that tool stays up here for easy access. 🙌
I have the most amazing rocks. And a lot of coral fossils in my tank
My Petoskey is from a land site so it's not water worn. I know everyone loves it polished but.... I guess I prefer the unworn better
great video❤ lots of ideas
Thank you!! 😊
🤗🌿🐠🪴🐠 I really love your aquascaping ideas !! So many cool looks and I like that you use all the different rocks , woods and even leaves . Just beautiful .👍❤️
Thanks so much! I don’t know about you but with fall in the air I kind of have the scaping bug in a major way ☺️
@@thesmallscape Ya I just love Fall . Perfect weather , beautiful colors with the trees changing . Decorating my home this week . Also getting a 20 gallon set up . I think im gonna do standing tree or fallen tree look . I've got some really beautiful polished rocks in different colors and some mopani wood . Gonna give it a shot . Anyway thanks for the ideas . 🤗👍🪴🍂🌿🐠🍁🍀🍃🌾
