    Best planted aquariums arranged for the aquascaping contest "The Art of the Planted Aquarium". Dimensions of aquariums are 100x50x50 cm, there are Eheim external filters and T5 fluorescent lamps used. No LED lighting used, becasue back then this type of aquarium illumination was not so popular as it is today. Neither CO2 supply systems nor aquarium plants fertilizers are used during the exhibition. There are aslo no fish in the aquariums, because they are forbidden by the rules of the contest. First, they could cause additional troubles, second, they would distract the viewers from admiring the aquascapes.

    I love when tanks incorporate wood. It makes me feel like I'm looking at an underwater forest :)

    Although these are only planted tanks (no fish), I've kept MANY different types of aquariums over the years. My favorite was a planted tank, no external filtration nor aeration. Only plants and fish. The plants went absolutely crazy, growing and multiplying and the fish were totally healthy. It was so fun to see how the system worked.

      Sherry, I myself want to start one planted tank albeit without any filtration. Is that safe for plants and fish??

    • @akwabiotop
      @akwabiotop  10 років тому +1

      srikanth soma
      Of course it is safe. I have several tanks without any filtration at all, just substrate (very fine quartz sand), lots of Java moss, and some aeration to make the water circulate, and it works perfectly.

    • @walkshe
      @walkshe 10 років тому +1

      srikanth soma I actually used aquatic soil (bought from a plant nursery) and covered it with aquarium gravel. I never had any issues with the health of the fish, and as I said, the plants just went crazy! I don't think I even had any aeration in it, and definitely no filtration. Oh, and the fish multiplied also.

      Do you ever need to clean the tank and does algae grow? What type of lighting did you use?

    I read your comment about fish not being allowed, but I can't look at these beautiful tanks without expecting to see fish. Where is nature would you find such a lush aquatic environment with no fish?

    • @gabrielbarile73
      @gabrielbarile73 6 років тому +5

      You can add some species of fish. Besides, planted aquariums (and to be honest most aquariums) are NOT perfect nature representation, are artistic views of nature. Have you ever swam in a amazonia river? You can barely see your own hands in front of you in some places.

  • @bluejupiter100

    • @SnazzyZubloids
      @SnazzyZubloids 8 років тому +3

      +akwabiotop Maybe in this one particular contest, but in most, the fish are considered part of the display itself. Some nice white clouds or cardinal tetras would make these really pop even more than they already do.

    yes of course, as long as you have proper light intensity for various kinds of plant you can create a nice natural looking environment. For a 10 gal I would suggest the the 18" finnex ray2 with a glass canopy to sit atop youll be able to grow anything with that and your fish will look amazing, add some driftwood and/or rocks and you have a 10 gal aquascape.
