      It's all thanks to the amazing Sigma lens. If you get a camera that is the only lens you will ever need. It is amazing in low light conditions and it is sooooo sharp.

    I usually am not a fan of the super modern appearance, with the simplicity and all that. I like a hectic planted tank, but I really like how this turned out. You did a great job, and looking forward to the updates. Take care.

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Phil. To be honest I am also not a fan of aquariums like this and especially super clean high tech tanks. This was just an attempt of me trying to get out of my comfort zone. Finally I have an aquarium with plants that don't need triming.

    What a coincidence, I'm going to aquascape an epiphyte only tank for a friend and here you are with your amazing aquascape, same thing happened with the river style aquascape too. 😅
    This looks very minimalistic. There's something about epiphytes that makes any aquascape so good. :)

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  2 роки тому +2

      It makes it good because it doesn't have any steam plants and I don't need to do any trimming. That's a big plus. Thanks Ani.

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  2 роки тому +2

      In aquariums that I have substrate I always use Tropical 9L soil. I ordered all my smaller aquariums online from Green Aqua (Hungary) or Liquid Nature (Austria). Bigger aquariums were custom made locally.

    this is so nice :) may i ask how you cycle your tanks??

    • @IMaqua
      @IMaqua  2 роки тому +1

      I just let it be for 4-5 weeks while doing water changes 1-2x week (depends if there is soil in it or not) and usually I always have a few snails that speed up the cycling. Snails always come with plants because I move them between tanks.

    Another masterpiece ✨️ 👏. Any suggestions on wood that doesn't release tannins but color similar to red Moor?

    • @IMaqua

      You can try mangrove wood (I used it in my moss cube video) or manzanita wood (it is lighter in color than red moor).
