    The latest aquarium build in the new studio. The 4ft Asian fish planted tank. This will be the backdrop to my desk and will be the perfect workspace. This is the first time I have done a proper peninsula full aquarium and i LOVE it. At some stage I'm definitely going to have a huge fish tank as a dividing wall in my house. I think that's everyones dream who is into aquariums right?

      Since its an Asian tank, you know you gotta get loaches instead of corys. They often better looking also.

    I think it’s so important for parents to share their hobbies with their children(if the children are interested) especially more expensive and delicate hobbies like this one, since it builds a bond as well as respect for something

    I, like the kid. Also enjoy colorful aquarium stuff. ALSO, I want to see the kid aquascape their own set up. I get the majority of the hobby likes planted, natural looking tanks. But I love bright neon colors and I wanna see that in a tank. (Its almost why I went with a glow fish set-up)

    Great tank, great idea using the tights, I used coarse lava rock under my substrate.
    Peninsula tanks are cool, my 75 is a peninsula beside my desk, one end is a shale cliff to hide the matten filter, pumps and heater, the rest is planted with some shale in the middle like it broke off the cliff, fully planted, Eco-complete black substrate.
    South American theme, Angels, Rams, Tetras and Corys .

      It's censored if you know the words you know the words. It's humor. Adult humor sure but it's also a channel adults enjoy. If you're worried about kids reading vulgar comments lets be real they shouldn't be on youtube reading comments.
      I respect your comment but I'm also allowed to think how I would think if I was the spider running for his life while literal rocks were falling on his head from the sky.
      Sorry but you should lighten up a bit.

    I would love to see what the kids would do with their own tank. How about a video teaching kids how to make their first tank? My Little neighbour was over, she was fascinated by all my nano tanks (inspired by you). She spent 45 minutes just sitting and looking at them. I got a picture from her mom this morning. As she was coming down the stairs her daughter was filling her empty plastic toy bin with water (the same green bins you use from Ikea). Her mom asked what she was doing, answer... making a fish tank! Love that girl!❤️ 🐠
