Really enjoying the last few shop visits and the different approaches to filtration, longevity etc. Thanks
#715th to give a 👍! 😊
All three Aquascaps are very beautiful.
The only thing is Aquariums should be at eye level or head hight as you are walking in or walking up close to the Aquariums, they should not be low down.
I understand that in a Fish Store you cannot really avoid that because of the great amount of holding Aquariums however if they are going to be that beautifully done then it is a shame to not be able to appreciate the complete beauty of them.
But all in all they are very beautiful and tastefully done. 👍✌️😊
the aquascape is just stunning!!!
💙That 3rd tank is hard to beat. The aquascape looked nice enough to compete with. It just needed a bit of trimming & he could win a prize for his design. Well Done!!
His son's tank blew my mind. The clear foreground, midground, and background make it seem enormous even though it's pretty small.
Exactly! I though the tank was much bigger than it really was. Really nice job :)
Hello George,
My favorite tank has to be the third one. I absolutely love any kind of Anubias plants, so much so that I have several specimens in my current 75 gallon tank.
Wow, I really like all 3 low tech scapes in their own way. The buce tank is stunning, I have a similar project nano to that and love it. The shallow tank looks lovely with the emerse growth. The last tank had a very nice layout and looks so lush and green even under that low wattage light. One question, what level intensity is the ONF nano light set on for the buce tank? Cheers for the great tour George. 💚🌱
This is it. This is what I want to learn to do. I thought that I wanted to grow coral but this is what I want to learn. Is this high maintenance?
nr 3 my fav but the 1st one is really close second like the shalow tank but not my type of scape ,lovely video and it gave me inspiration for the reboot of my 70l in a few month thx for sharing as always and cant wait for the book to arrive :D
Stunning
Hello Is Azərbaycan.
I really enjoyed the 3rd tank, the son's tank the most with it's nature scape.
I love it too. even though that are very few platys.
So the water changes are for the plants?
I love all three of these tanks, but I think the third one is my favourite. I love the layers and the depth it creates and how it just fills the tank and you almost get lost in there. I would like to see more fish in it personally but it’s definitely my favourite
This shows that a beautiful tank doesnt need hightech gizmo's . Really love these tanks. Great Job !!!
I feel like the whole live plants thing is just peer pressure for marketing schemes, like introducing to smoking a cigarette when you're young.
After a lot research, I ditch the cookie cutter aquascape and go bare bottom. Save $ on substrates and live plants.
The pros of going bare bottom with simple Aquaponics setup.
My fishes finished all their foods. The bottom of the tank and water stay sparky clean. My hang on household plants eliminated ammonia and algae. Water change take a few minutes and I don't have to trim plants or gravels vacuum. A win win for me.
My filter media contain 8 bio balls and 2 sponge floss (the white and blue type)
Here is the sceenshots of my tank.

Any suggestions for my tiny self cleaning tank?

@@condorX2 No offense but this looks absolutely terrible. Give the fish a little more space to swim and places to hide. This plastic bowl lets them survive, but your pets are most likely not happy.
@@miwu5880 Believe me, those fishes was in worst condition when my mom brought it home that was given by a friend.
They're in a small bowl without filter and the water would get brown, stink and dirty.
Now the water stay crystal clear for a month now.
Here is a home video that i took.

The fry has turned out to be quite a beauty. Endler's with big black spot. Their fine turns black when they chasing after a female.
The female look quite big. The biggest I ever seen.
Anyway, care to to show me your aquarium? I wanna see your setup and how happy they look.
@@condorX2 one word, my friend: propagation
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 oh yeh.
I'm trying that now with the pothos garden setup for my bare bottom aquaponics.
Tell me what you think.

My favorite is definitely that last one. Man is that thing beautiful. Just shows you dont need all that expensive stuff to enjoy this beautiful hobby. There are so many different levels to the hobby and I think mastering the low tech side is more difficult because you really gotta dial things in. High tech tanks are great too but there isn't as much of a challenge since you've got the co2 doing the bulk of the work besides water changes. Low tech you really gotta be careful how much light you use. Better off starting low light and working your way up for sure. Love the video man. Love them all but that last one got me inspired to step my game up haha. Cheers bro!

@NihlusGreen 😂👌
@Trento I added some plants.
@@condorX2 ha ha , no thanks !!! If my choice was to keep my fish in that , or a toilet I end up with a reverse flow trickle shower filter in the porcelain rear chamber filled with more media and sponges than any FX-#2 🚻
Really nice low-tech tanks. Sons tank was best imo. So much lush green growth. Great video.
That was a great video. I love that Ray has non co2 tanks that are so beautiful. I have six scaped tanks and don’t use co2 on any of them. It is more work but much better for the fish. I have always looked at “safe amounts of co2” in the water the same as safe levels of pollution in the air that we breath. I think we would all prefer no pollution and if our fish could talk they would say no co2 please.
That’s a great point
That’s me inspired! Planning my next planted tank and it’s gonna be low tech now. Absolutely beautiful, love these videos. X
Love the bedroom tank. Going to be an inspiration for my own bedroom beta tank I'm rescaping currently
The last one! WOW!
Bucephalandra is a lovely looking plant, that 1st tank is amazing.
I don’t know if I am hearing correctly: there is 6W lightning on the 3rd one??
u can certainly say that this shop have some marvelous skill in handling their tank especially the bucep and nana
no algae on them. wow
Very Nice Aquasacpe Ideas!
Great shop! Very inspirational and always helpful! Already awaiting an order for my next aquascaping project.

Those buce are awesome, I’m still trying to work out how to grow them.
Cool low tech is awesome :D "D cheers and anyone else have a low tech tank at home ?:D
I have 5. Nothing more than a filter, maybe a powerhead, and LED shop lights from Home Depot. No CO2, no ferts, no fancy gear. 10/20/35/40/90. These are a work of art though, mine are just low tech, the plant arrangements are superb
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 Yes now is the inthing no co2 save costs cheers friend
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 And are you a microsoft person cause john doe is used alot in ms training :D
@@WorldAquariumSingapore So I'm really 20 years ahead of the times? :) John (or Jane) Doe is the name given by authorities until a body (usually) is identified.
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 So you are friend , and meaning you are unname person using john doe or jane doe how cool is that lol
I find the 2nd tank really interesting with the terrestrial plants and would love to see how these are incorporated into the Scape and how/where they are planted. George it would be great to see you scape an aquarium with above-water plants 👍
Thanks 😊
I'd say the last one in the son's room...as George mentioned, good layering and the light was an excellent match; solid shadows. The 2 year old one is still unreal though.
Agree. Layering and shadows give the sense of great depth to the tank.
ray is my favorite scaper especially in natural style. I am still curious about how he arranged hardscape until invisible and full of plants.
he must show the tutorial later because this is very amazing
@Ray McCune ok ray. I am waiting for you to make a video on your channel
New sub! Doing some research thinking of branching out of my salt water and adding a low tech tank to my hobbies. These 3 tanks are all very beautiful! I think I like #1 best, but really how can one pick a favorite from these gems?! 😍😍
They are very different, but I really like number 3. I like the layering and the space for the fish to move around. Number 1 is stunning. And I know CPD like to hide, but I do like a little more open spaces in an aquarium.
Beautiful shop, and I really like the natural way!

I need your help ASAP.. I'm new to aquascaping. I have recently built a planted tank. It was cool for a week and then I found my plants started to rot and die from root to leaves... Except co2, I have provided ferts, light. It's a low tech plant with low plants...
The reason we are sold so much equipment by shops and online merchants is their profits, they couldn’t make as much if we knew how easy most plants and fish can be. I haven’t use medication on fish for 15 years now, and looking at the advice they give to beginners, there is no way you can manage without a dozen antibiotics for even a dozen fish. Same is true for plant fertilisers even though regular light and fish poop can work great for them.
Not only you put UA-cam commercials at video start you also start video with your own commercials… UA-cam is like a cancer right now :(
What kind of plant is it on 21:08 ?
Great video. It's very inspiring to think that beautiful low tech tanks can be accomplished! Thank you George, keep up all the great work and please thank Ray for sharing his beautiful tanks.
I just wanted to post a little nudge here in the sake of greater good. Poster condorX2 has been piled on a bit for their setup and I want to point out a couple of things please. Check out their linked video in this thread. There are a few indicators here which may be helpful:
- the setup is outside; with only a sheet and a cinderblock wall
- there is no fancy gear at all, and no lights
- the fish are stated as being rescues, from their mother, with whom they live
- the tank backing is cut out from the box the filter came in
- the poster has added pothos to the environment in order to aid in nitrate reduction
- the poster has also indicated they do not like to see waste in the tank
- poster has been active since 2006
All in all poster not a child but the setup is about as far from high end as it gets, and I suspect it is not because of a lack of interest, rather some other key variables. There is clearly a desire to learn and grow, even if the method is crude.
Perhaps we could all start 2021 with a little more empathy and respect for others, and make the world a better place.
Please like if you agree.
I'd love to know how his hardscape wood is layed out on the nano cube. Obviously he has one tall piece of bogwood but it seems to grow off in all directions?! Maybe some spiderwood was glued on to it? I'm inspired to get a nano cube and gon this route but don't want to mess it up!
i preferer low tech been in the hobby over 20 years and your learn that patience is the key to beautiful plants not thousands of pounds worth of tech.
i always think tanks like this look more natural than over pedicured ada style aquascapes
Kitchen tank.
Here's the link to the first video of the Bucephalandra tank.
ua-cam.com/video/viPaMm0L1cs/v-deo.html
Gorgeous tank! ..Terrible spot!! Should be on a table where it can be viewed from three sides
How do you know which lights or light bulbs grow plants because I have seen people use lights that says nothing about plants do you know what key words on the light bulb that indicates to you that it can grow plants thanks man love the channel.
That nano cube is amazing...i love bucephalandras and i have a 250L stocked only with them.
That nano puts many co2 injected tanks to shame xD
какие держите параметры NO3 и PO4 ?
Really like his son's tank.
I find the layers really appealing.
The cube at the shop is really nice as well.
Seems very full, but obviously enough room for the CPDs and shrimp to live happily.
What kind of filtration is used in the bucephalandra tank? Cant't see any water flow.
Always love the content from Scaped Nature (and home)! Thanks for the content!
I loved the buce tank. How many hours were the lights on in those tanks?
i like leddy 60 very very much !!! incredible aquascapeing !!!
The sons tank #3 is my dream tank! Absolutely beautiful. Would love to see all his tanks.
The hamster cage 🥲😓 you’d think he’d know better...
I really like the last tank, the one on the thumbnail. I love the nature style look with some wood, grey stone, sand and all the green surrounding it. So beautiful and relaxing, good job👍👌🌿
I am obsessed with tank #3 I would have killed to watch it being scaped 😍
The Leddy 60 is stunning, I just love the use of hardscape and hydrophila? In the back, it’s a beautiful blend of strong/soft/subtle. I’m actually about to get this same tank and this scape is a real inspiration for me 🥰🥰.. Loved the old scape on this, love the new even more!
Bucepalandra from borneo.. Indonesia 🇲🇨
This is the most beautiful low tech nano that I ever see!!
Can you advise on the average temperature you have for all your non CO2 tanks?
I love low-tech set-ups. The first tank with bucephalandra is AMAZING!
I had 3 similar setup with crystal red shrimps and tiger shrimps. It was immensely therapeutic. I had to give away due to work relocation.
Kamu terlihat kurus, apakah kamu sakit pak??? Semoga selalu dalam keadaan sehat
3rd like from me.. Great content as always.. Cheers from sri lanka
Scaped Nature with the amazing low tech tanks always. =D
The last tank is gorgeous.
Hey Ray, feel free to open up a Scaped Nature here in the US, thanks.
At 10:00 I legit thought it was a bad case of biofilm there :D.
3rd one is the most amazing
As it has the complete balance between colours and health even without co2.
How did you build up the back are the plants on bogwood or rockwork ?
Loved the second one the most.... mystical, unique, edgy and calming all at once! Loved his choices of emersed plants... colors and shapes and that one long plant caressing the wood....
This is far better than some high tech tanks😊
😀
Can you plz post the plants list. Tank wise. Plz plz.
Which color temperature of light that you used for bucep ? so cool
23:12 but what is the plant that makes up the whole background?
that last tank looks so cinematic
Thanx for the text .. its hard to find them without knowing the name
they are all stunning!
i have to agree with Ray, the first one is my favorite.
3 amazing tanks, plant growth is phenomenal
Thanks for sharing the knowledges and information!
bro how is it possible to grow aqua pants that healthy without co2
Would love to hear more about how he did the shallow tank with the fog
I LIKE SO MUCH congratulation
First 😁
Shortest comment ever 😂😂 you know I can't do that 😂😂
the shop is just so amazing I enjoyed it so much when you shared it with us before! The Aquascapes are just phenomenal ♥️ I still love this beautiful scape.. the out of water wood and plants are beautiful. It is so lovelyl and I'm glad that you showed the types of plants that are in it! The leddy 60l. and the little "carrot"😁🤗 shrimp is simply wonderful.I could spend the rest of time looking at all that your friend has there!Thank you so much for sharing this with us again! I loved it! I hope you have a blessed and beautiful day George and everyone at Scaped Nature!,👍❤️🌿🐟🌱🙏
Thanks so much for your lovely comments, Mary! I’m always so grateful reading them. 💚
@GreenAqua is everywhere on youtube :D Congrats to all of you! (Especially the Hungarian guys! :D)

His son's tank is beautiful It blew my mind .
Whats the tank size of third tank. Beautiful
The first two are just tied down the middle for me. They are gorgeous.
The one in the bedroom it's depth it's land scape pulls you in good job for to behold when your stoned could evaporate time
Loved them all but the 3rd was my favourite
Damn. Low tech and it’s this beautiful. Wow.
Can you list the plants in the first scape please?
I gotta build me one of these!!
His sons tank is one of my favourites I've seen!!
This is awesome. I’m running a tank and some plants are starting to dissolve and melt.
After research I’ve came to the conclusion I really need co2🤣 some plants really need actual co2 to keep on growing. Mostly red plants that have this problem. Hope they grow back. I’m not in a way atm to afford co2 setup. Quite expensive
Want to hear about how you can do adjustable CO2 for like $30?
Something about those orange plattys against the green plants mesmerizing.
THIS is a very beautiful but PRICELESS tank. Actually, imagine putting a price on all that rare buce! lol
Beautiful scape. By the way, do you happened to have a step by step setup of the non co2 scape at shown at Scaped Nature?
Sorry, no 😌

Hi George, I am stunned by the last aquarium! Absolutely love it! I would like to create an aquarium with platies as well. But would you happen to know how much Tropica Aqua Soil could lower the pH? I usually have a pH of around 7.5/8.0, could the Aqua Soil bring it down to 6.5/7.0 or just a few tenths? Thank you in advance!
Wow! All 3 of these scapes are beautiful. I always dig Ray's scapes and knowledge. Thank you for sharing! - Little Bobby
