In this aquascaping tutorial we’ll guide you through each stage of the creation of a huge planted tank layout by founder of The Green Machine and professional aquascaper James Findley. ow.ly/Rk3O3095eC9 Find the Video, Transcript, Photos & Setup Specification in this article.
Aquascapes are fine-art tropical fish tanks where the focus is on plants and natural décor, rather than fish.
This tank is a huge 5ft x 5ft x 2.5ft acrylic tank- the same tank used in "Nature's Chaos" aquascape which you can find several videos for in our channel.
More info coming soon!

Am I the only one who think that the narrator is James, and he refer to him in 3rd person?.
I used to think this too, it annoyed me to no end. But when i looked at another video with him actually talking on screen. Short story, it's not him. The narrator is certainly someone else.
It actually sounds like Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) to me ha
@@byronmitchell22 It really doesn't, it's just the accent
james = the bob ross of aquascaping
It's awesome xD
Minus hair
@Jack o yesssss😘😘😘😘😘
This is ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL !!! A great tutorial and the end result of the mature aquascape BLOWS ME AWAY !!! I would LOVE to have this in my home !!! BRILLIANT !!!!
@@russellhummel9466 that's JUST what I was thinking too, but don't have the space OR the $ for it :>{
By far the best aquascaping youtube channel online... these aren't even just normal videos... it's like an artistic masterpiece haha. I just sit here for the entire duration of the video with all the lights off eating popcorn watching these videos, it's mesmerizing
+LFCooledWhip thanks! Glad you enjoy our videos 😊
This is what I do, I thought it was the only one xD
Better than those Kardashians XD
Ondria True. There's more informational value in these videos
Wow, I thought I was weird getting so hooked on these videos - I guess I'm not the only one. They are so professionally done, informative, and just plain mesmerizing...relaxing even. *thumbs up*
This is like mixing my favorite hobbies together. Gardening & aquariums. This is very beautiful. Thanks for posting.
Aquagardening
We have same hobbies
Mine too ....
There's just nothing like it to have one of those set up in your spare room it's just fantastic
A great place just to sit and have a chat maybe a beer
I'd do almost anything to have free range on an aquascape, the ideas my brain goes through while watching this is overwhelming.
Yeah I'm envious of james having the best of the best at his disposal to let his creativity just flow out!
All these crazy expensive products,
Still uses a brush taped to a stick. Haha i love it!!
Yay! another video!
+Loading we hope you enjoy it!
TheGreenMachineLtd I did!
@@TheGreenMachineLtd very nicely done I'm wondering what are the blue fish that are in this video so I could add them to my Aquascape

I am Franco Brazilian, 43 years holds, my first aquarium i do it with my father when i was 13. I have a 450 liters aquarium, Amazonium fish. Your aquarium is perfect!!!!! I love it!!!! Wonderfull!!!! No words! Thanks, Florian
I couldn't help but keep thinking "This is the Adult Edition of playing in a sand box" through the whole video.
Brilliant, as always! Fortuitous that you uploaded this as I was looking for inspiration for my next project to plan.
there's something about open space of rocks or substrate that gives the feeling of nature similar to a traditional Japanese courtyard and this is why the original chaos will always be tops to me. This scape seems like a Dutch with hard scape elements. thanks for another wonderful video of this outstanding tank.
Some of our Russian viewers have provided translated subtitles for our video 'Spontaneity'- thank you/Спасибо! If other Russians could check them and provide any necessary amendments, we would be very grateful!
We encourage the translation of any of our videos into your language of your choice... the more the better!

TheGreenMachineLtd how cardinals are in this tank?
Stunning result!! Truly worth the wait for a new video. Always leaves me inspired. Thank you for sharing your skill and aesthetic vision.
+wresm thanks!
Never ceases to amaze me that silicone holds all that pressure together.
Great aquascape, lovely.
Thanks for sharing it with us 👍🤩
2 years later i'm watching this again. So calming and educational.
Can you make another video after 12-24 months of this tank?

I wish I can get a big tank. But didn't get budget approved from my wife. Lol.
Nick Tovey I have an idea...
SELL YOUR WIFE 😂
problem solved haha
This is pure art! Do you guys do vivariums or terrariums too?
We do some Wabi Kusa, and in the future James may plant an ADA Waterfall tank
That would be amazing!
The aquascaping here is a solid "A". However, there are simply too many cardinal tetras. A much smaller school would have made for a much more pleasing effect of scale and would have better complimented the plants and rock work.
I agree with your analysis.
Is it possible to create a dence kelp like forest in a 360 viewable tank?
Красота!) Потрясающий дизайн аквариума!) Смотреть одно удовольствие!)
I used this method when i Buried my Ex girlfriend
Vergil1876 edgy
Not worth it ;)
In 2023 the substrate in this aquarium costs more than the computer you're using to watch the video
If the technology allowed it; pov from one the fishes, as it gets transfered into one of the aquascapes and begins to check it all out.
Beautiful aquascape .. Wrong fish verity .. 🤦♂️
It's not a joke I cried when I saw the final result (those were salty tears it hurt )because I was so moved by the beauty of this .. I would really like to sit in front of the tank looking a it for hours forgetting for a little all my problems and just relax ..
I wonder how much this tank cost to completely set up and plant
A LOT of $ I can pretty well bet on.
I'm guessing 20k. The tank itself (just the glass) probably cost 15 grand. To set up a planted tank it cost me roughly 800 dollars.
@@MelonManMonster lol
not to mention transport it over to you....that's another bulk of the cash.
Cujo Reitzel the glass to build that tank wouldn’t be more then $2000
I have no interest in this subject at all, but this video was so well made and so informative I couldn't stop watching.
You work is amazing, but so is your ability to craft a video that some one from the "outside" can still enjoy. Keep it up. Subbed!
so excited for the new video! thoroughly enjoyable to watch and such a beautiful aquascape! love watching james work and the voice of the narrator is so soothing. a perfect watch for the end of the day!
+vouz crow thanks! If you want to support us, you can help by sharing our videos with anyone you think might like them 👍🏽
It's 3:29 am I should be sleeping but I cant help watching these videos. Their so calming and soothing to watch. EVEN THE NARRATORS VOICE ISN'T ANNOYING! :D Welp, you've don it James, all in all another perfect video.
Glorious tank and great work as always! 👍🏻
Thanks- glad you like it
This Aquascape is breath taking! It has inspired me for my next design. Thank you so much! Best wishes from the USA !
Stunning. If I ever won the lottery, and brought a large home.
I'd get you guys to build one in my house as a centre piece!
How do you clean this aquascape. Does it need to be cleaned at all. Water change, vacuumed?
Wow man!
The tank looks super nice!
_Keep up the good work!_
*Thumbs up!*
Who else would pay money to do this? A huge tank and an aquaristics shop behind for all you need. It must be a dream come true!
JOY! How I wish I had the space and money for a tank this size.
Sorry to see "Nature's Chaos" go, but "Spontaneity" is a more than fitting successor.
Also: YAY! "Arizona" in the background!
Hi man, money is not a problem, when we really want someting, we can. aquarium like this is not soo expansive, less than a car. It is just a question of passion. Be sure of that. You can do it ;). Make your dream become reality.
what's the size of this tank?
@@tang665 150 cm x 150 cm x 80 cm or 70 cm do not remember well
Like seriously, I don't know the basic of aquascape. Does this thing don't need water filter? I don't see any water stream.
Lucky fish..
How do you clean fish poops? Or you don't have to clean it. Just like nature?
welcome back guys. always look forward to your videos! you have definitely provided great inspiration to my aquascapes and I'm sure many others. keep up the great work!
I wanted to like the video but I did not want to disturb the number of likes which were 888
It's a fish tank. You'd think James was building the Sistine Chapel, given the tone of the commentary.
Sir Davos makes a pretty good narrator.
once you hear it..
My son ask me for a kitten for his birthday... so I talked him into a fish... then I found aquascapes and then I found the green machine. And now I’m building a 55 gallon aquascape. Thank you TGM
My daughter wanted an angelfish for her birthday. After tons of research I became obsessed. We came home with a 55 gallon and filled it with plants. Been a few years now and my daughter pretty much lost interest but I am still building more tanks.
big enough tank for one (1) betta fish
I love this.Its beautiful thanks for sharing this amazing video
once i finally got into the aquascape hobby, i realized how hard it is to get that right nutrient balance. it's a full time job hahaha
jim halpert what are the biggest difficulties or things beginners should be aware of?
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous and, like you said, a slize of nature in your home. One thing I wonder about is the weight and pressure on the glass with those heavy stones. Wouldn´t want all that water anywhere outside the tank due to it cracking because of pressure...
I used to produce 100% realistic rocks in polyurethane in the late 90s and one of the advantages with them was that they weighed almost nothing. Subscribed, amazing channel!
I was so excited to see another video from you guys. The tank is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thanks for taking the time to comment- we're happy you like it!
Your aquarium really made me excited, I'm from Vietnam, thank you for making so many art videos, it's so interesting. 👍👍👍
I love this aquascape... I've been wanting to do this myself. I am upgrading my tank to 100ltr. This has really inspired me to actually set this up. Thanks
I must say that it is absolutely perfect! Art! Thank you for this inspiration. Can you say me what exactly are you using for fixing stones and terrain? I mean these black things paste into soil. Thank you so much :)
How you clean this Aquarium?
how long is the maintenance period?
what about the old substrate will you reuse
How %the filter works in that aquarium. Evertime I watch a video of aquascaping, my heart bit so fast.
I love your work. Its sooo inspiring :)
Two more weeks to go and I have everything to start a new aquascape in my new tank - 130x60x60cm.
I love your work 👌
I more than enjoyed this video.. Its a dream of mine to have something like this one day. Thank you for the upload
you guys have the best aquascaping videoes. i love this aquarium so much. i think I'm gonna start again! 😊
Yes i like 5ft x 5ft square tank can see all around "D
Do more similar videos eg 10ft x 10ft tank?
Is this a concave design?
Great tank and thank you for sharing the process!!! Would love to see a break down of the filtration and co2 infusion method for this tank.
Super scenery
Total number of liters
What you use in filtering
What are the fertilizers used for plants respectively
Used carbon dioxide
What is this persons job? This is awesome!
Now I’m into this... I always wanted to do something with nature & im now glad this is for all to see. I find this extremely calming & the end result is priceless. My own world 🌎
Thank you 😊
This is so mesmerizing to watch, like art restoration videos. Definitely an art form. What do you do with the finished tanks? Are they sold or for clients?
whats the total cost? (tank, substrate, plants, fish) this is fucking awesome
I wish my home could accommodate a tank that size. Love it.
Sorry kids, you have to move in with grandma, dad needs a new tank
If the narrator was my teacher I would never bunk classes.
This is amazing - how beautiful! Thank you for making this video. I’m inspired!!
How long until the substrate is depleted and huge fertilization is required ?
Perfection personified 👍🏻. There is so much to learn about aquascaping.
Been waiting so long in anticipation to the next video! Excited to watch after newly scaping my own tank inspired by your teams works. Need to sort a trip to your store from where I am in Essex to see these scapes in person!
How do you know when aquascape tank ready for fishes?
Just wow, now im down to a new hobby, this really inspire me, thanks
I am beaver
You look more like a potato.
I live in a small apartment and would love something like this, probably on a smaller scale of course ☺️ wish I could find one that would suit!
Very Beautiful. I live in West Chester Ohio. I have a unique and a unlimited supply of of Fossil Stones and would like to incorporate them into my tanks and highlight the nature beauty of the of Stones. My question is how do I properly clean them. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
I'd love to make one with a nice water fall and fishy's :3
This is the most beautiful form of art I've ever seen, very relaxing and satisfying to watch and the precision of where everything is placed is so naturally perfect, I can't get enough!
Hi. 2019 comments. I very good at raise guppy fish 🐠 tank but I am not professional about cardinal tetra .Can i ask how to permanent kill all parasite in the dirt, and why my cardinal tetra always shaking when I put them with guppy???. They died after few hours 😞. Please teach something
It's a pleasure can see projects as this one! Thank you very much for sharing it!
James Findley, "THE BOSS"
This is such a stunning aquarium. One question for TGM would be: How do you inject CO2 viably in such a huge aquarium? Just from the video, I see no diffuser, maybe some filter intakes, and one airline tubing going in.
Seeing this makes me all inspired to do something like this. I love the hole idea of aquascaping. Problem is I don't have the time or the money. It's just one of my many to do before I die list. ;-;
It is also my before die list! Just wonder if I don't use carbon dioxide infuse , is it work? I try before, it fail, maybe the tank too small or plants and fishes not enough
Would you guys recommend acrylic or glass for a 55 gallon tank? So far I've only had nano glass tanks, bit I hear acrylic is best for larger tanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nice but the target market for your products are wealthy businessmen right? A project like this is well above 1000 pounds including the tank.
Amazing
Hi I am from India may I know how you had supplied co2 for the plants I.e diffuser is not visible, by reactor or any other systems, please reply
Thank you
Can you make a video of an easy aquascape that's looks good.
I wish you guys didn't put out a video once a year dammit. But I know growing plants takes time.
The narrator's voice from this video kinda of ressemble the one that narrates the events in the game called Final Fantasy XII. The effects and similarities reproduced during his speech are not a hundred percent accurate, however, the timber, the wave and the pauses during each sentence flows in a way that are very simillar. Jesus... what am I saying :P anyway... I enjoyed watching this video, because I learned things that I had no idea about.
I don't just go ahead and love what James does. I will look for any little thing to say, no it's not that good. And when he starts I'll already be saying you see he's not that good like people say. Which of course is not far but i can't help it. Im probably his worst unknown critic. Not cool cause in the end as heard as I'll look i always wind up say bravo he did it again. Great job James im sorry, you are as good as they say.
So sick of hearing "GO TO OUR WEBSITE!" I admit the fish tank is awesome. However anyone can do this
God loves you and
offers a wonderful plan for your life
All of us sin and our sin has separated
us from God
Jesus Christ is God's only provision for
our sin. Through Him we can know and
experience Gods love and plan for our lives
We must individually receive Jesus Christ
as Savior and Lord, then we can know and experience Gods love and plan for
our lives
I love square tanks, marvelous video. Liked and Subscribed. Thanks from Chicago
Hey a feedback! content is great. But the music makes me fell im watching a creepy thriller movie. Planted tanks are meant to give you peace.pls reupload the video
I had a much more primitive version of this set up in a 100 gallon tank. After 2 years I completely stopped with the water changes and just added water as it evaporated, and the water parameters stayed near ideal. I haven't cleaned the filters in over a year, the water is crystal clear, there are no smells and the fish (south American cichlids and a few plecos) are thriving. It's all about finding the natural balance and the man is no longer needed.
my hobby is fish keeping but after seeing such a great video i need to aquascape my upcomming tanks its simply awsome how long these tanks will extend .. will it be or need to be changed...?
Im just curious guys. No need for oxygen and fish food?? And sorry i didn't hear well about what kind of water???
Ah,,,, the voice, the choice of words.... MUAH!!!!
I want to buy... How do i get it and whats the price?
Setup is great, but way too many fish, personally i prefer a more quiet natural environment with more different types of fish.. but just a handfull of them .. looks great tho
