- Hi everyone thank you for taking the time to watch the video
Please read below
This aquascape was created by myself in a Fluval Rome 90, it took about 7 hours from start to finish. Most of the time was taken up tying plants and mosses onto the Manzinita Wood. This is the first time i have attempted something like this and i hope you all like it.
The wood that was placed on the bottom was covered in Taxiphyllum sp. 'Spiky' moss and hopefully i can sculpt that nicely as it grows. Along side them i used Staurogyne Repens, Eleocharis Parvula and Echinodorus Tenellus these should hopefully spread out and with abit of work should create a nice semi carpet.
On the upright piece of wood i used Anubias sp. 'Petite', Microsorum Pteropus 'Narrow' and Taxiphyllum sp. 'Spiky' moss. The moss was fastened using a single piece of wire in the center to try and encourage the moss to grow into a circular shape (fingers crossed)
In the back left corner of the tank i added some Vallisneria Nana, as this grows it should flow across the top of the tank creating a small bit of shade.
Scattered around the bottom of the tank in selected locations i used Cryptocoryne x Willisii, Hygrophila Corymbosa 'Siamensis', Hygrophila Polysperma 'Rosanervig' and Cyrptocoryne Beckettii 'Petchii'.
I hope you all enjoyed the video, below you will find details of the setup:

This tank is awesome great job. just subbed
looking good mate!
Stunning scape, very natural. Loving the Corydoras panda :)
That would be awesome
thanks westy
thank you :)
I saw a tank like that. It had an orange light behind the backdrop to simulate sunset and it was absolutely amazing. Search for 0dallas on here and you'll see it. By the way, great video and tank!
Very nice man, great job. I love the way you laid out the hardscape, can't wait to see it take off!
First time PlantedTank? Your pulling my leg, absolutely love the tank, the aquascape and the use of the manzanita wood is perfect!!! Great work my friend.
Wonderful video! Greetings from Argentina!
WOW THE Best Planted Tank I have ever seen its the best I wish I was able to have one like that!!!!!!
Always loving the manzanita driftwood. Very cool tank! I subscribed. :)
thank you rick, that means alot coming from you :)
Beautiful
That tank looks amazing bro!
great video. keep it up
thank you buddy much appreciated
thankyou just looked and im subbed to you :)
Really nice and sexy tank. Well made video. I'm waiting for updates.
thank you jay :)
sure you can, its a very simple layout really. The hardest part is still to come, keeping it healthy and shaping it how i want :)
It has got LED and i dont use backdrops as i like the open feel of tank. I have been think about trying a frosted glass look with lighting behind but not sure yet
Please comment and give a thumbs up :)
great result. i'd love to see how the tank looks now, two years later.
is it really okay, to use that sand straight out of the bag? i almost lost my mind, when i spent over an hour rinsing just 5kg for my little tank. (the water was still cloudy after that marathon)
you won 1 more suscriber !
Just Awesome! Is that a painted background or DIY?
i actually use non rot coated tying wire, the sort of stuff people use to fasten climbing plants in the garden
the background in the vid is just some white paper behind the tank so viewers can see the layout better. That is now removed and its just the wall behind. Im not a lover of backgrounds as i like the open feel of an aquarium :)
i appreciate your comment :) Things should start opening out more when i do my first trim. I think i will do another video with the hand held cam to show different angles :)
Beautiful tank. I've messed up my set up and wonder if someone could give me some advice. I added water way too fast and kicked up most of the fertilizer and it has mixed with my substrate and most of the fertilizer is on top now. Is it ok to leave the fertilizer on top or should i start over? I was thinking of removing some and then putting in a new layer of substrate. It is a brand new tank so not a massive disaster. Thanks.
Add LED strip for shimmer. No backdrop?
And what do you use to tie the vegetation to the wood, I simple string safe? Or not?
Music please tell me lol gorgeous tank
IMHO I think you put too many plants. I can barely see the hardscape. But still better than my tank.
Amd what do you use to the
What do you think about the fluval led light?
Where do you find pieces of driftwood like that? :D
Can I use rocks or not
How can I do a 3d background ?
