What kind of styrofoam are you using? I suppose it's safe for fishes right? I'd like to put that under my big maple stones to prevent glass breakage or scratches.
@@CarcPazu i just got it at the hardware store and cut it to my desired shape. you can also use that plastic egg crate material for the same purpose. very safe.
if you have a hob filter i would put it where its not the "center of attention" like it would be if you put it in the middle open area.. either side of the back wall or the either side wall would work fine.
Nice scape but if u have Corydoras that sand will vanish under the soil.. make sure the soil is always on a higher level then the sand if u have corydoras fish
i have shrimp who do pick at the soil/sand. the rocks and plant roots help support the soil. check my update vids if you wanted to see. no cories though
@@ΘωμάςΡαιος-ν4κ the aquasoil usually will run out of nutrients after a couple years so you can use root tabs in the soil to help with plant growth if you want to keep it running that long.
@@juscallmej i apologize to make u tired of my questions. I understand all these about aquasoil, just i mean if gets dirt aquarium to using styrofoam board...
its actually thin tiles of wood i got in a hobby store. i could split it by hand to size. you can use plastic if its sturdy enough to hold the soil back.
1 month update to this scape is now live. check it out to see the scape filled in! cheers

What’s the white thing you have added at the beginning?
styrofoam board. it helps protect the glass from the heavy rocks and helps a bit with providing elevation. doesn't affect the water quality.
Awesome
thanks.
Nice! Would this layout work with a HOB filter in the middle of the back?

What did you use for your substrate support? Any semi-hard plastic will do?
pretty much. i used a thin piece of wood here i got at a hobby store

Is that substrate support, corroborated plastic board? I can't find it by that name in USA amazon

Did you use foam boards to build the hills?
yes it helped to give it more height in the back as well as support the big rocks. thanks for watching!
