  • Need some inspiration or ideas for your next nano aquarium? These 26 beautiful nano aquascapes were part of ANAC 2023! (Aquaflora Nano Aquascaping Contest) A different type of aquascaping competition where contestants go to Aquaflora to pick up a complete scape set (tank, light, filter, plants, hardscape, substrate) which they then take home, setup, and after 3 months they reveal their final aquascape at the Vivarium exhibition in Rosmalen, NL.

      Funny the tank is almost twice the price in the US compared to the EU after converting Euro to USD. That & the price of plants here is 2-3x higher, it's no wonder aquascaping isn't nearly as prevalent.

    Really liked 3,5,6,8, 22 11& 21, my favorite ones but winner for me is 11. Huge respect to aquascapers who are able to create depth and build a PERFECT carpet. Something for me to try in a near future.
    Noticing as well that the more simplistic a scape is, the more "professional it looks". Would've really loved going to this event, it's different from other hobbies, and it looks really fun ! Thanks for sharing 😊

      @detlefh.7090 Рік тому +1

      The most balanced scape for me is clearly #20. It is lacking some color to give it the utmost kick though. It scored 3 in the ANAC competition. Of course all works look beautiful but how far beyond the line scapers can reach out you can get a sense of when you look at any Indonesion contest. One of the top scapers over there is Pakne Kenzo to my humble opinion.

    On first watch, #13, #15 and #20 had that wow effect for me. I've been going back and forth but I think #15 is my favorite. It looks like something you'd come across while wading through a foggy swamp, and has a desolate, almost gothic feel to it, which I really like. If only the branches on the tree's left side tapered naturally outwards 😅

    First off I want to say, Your aquascapes and videos are so well done. They're very informative and the finished results, absolutely beautiful. I live in the states, Massachusetts to be exact. I've been watching your videos and a few others, but still hesitating before I take the plunge. I've never seen anybody close to me in the US that has the same professional approach, so far. If you know of anyone in New England or group of fish hobbyists in my area,please send there names my way. I'm not even sure of plant suppliers out this way... Meanwhile your work is excellent and I've enjoyed watching your videos keep up the amazing work. Thanks Joe.

      ​@@ravscape I really think your scape is gorgeous, love the details in the tree. So delicate roots and branches. The shape and placement of the tree reminds me of my favourite type of trees, stunted pines on the rocky cliffsides of Finnish archipelago.
      And the red hue on the background like a rising sun, seen from between the branches. Just love it! 😍
      I'm surprised that the scape didn't place higher, but there are as many opinions as there are people.

      @@ravscape FWIW, yours I felt was the best, and it wasn't close. Perhaps because it looks the most like something you might actually find in a lake, slow tropical river or something. I am likely in the minority but the tree thing, I really don't care for. I get the aesthetic, but it just does't appeal to me. I think they look to contrived, nothing really like what you really see underwater. That said, my tanks are very much for the fish, so are very wild, allowed to grow feral almost, and certainly wouldn't win any awards!

      Hi, the tank that won 2nd place is mine. It's running on the Twinstar B and Oase HOB. The contents of the HOB were replaced with zeolite and an auxillary nanofilter was used to speed up the bacterial colonization process. It was removed 2 months after set up. The tank is injected with CO2, as most of them are, and this is allowed.

      It is indeed weak compared to other more expensive lights in the market, so you just need to choose the appropriate plants. Rotala SG stays red on it. Rotala h'ra and orange juice you need to sunject to nitrate limitation. It was also good on hygrophila araguaia and ammania gold.
