    Hello everyone👋
    Thank you for watching the video.
    I would like you all to know, that I wrote a script for the make of this video.
    But I can see they left out a lot of valuable information, to reach a certain length of video.
    For example, they left out the complete introduction (which I narrated in Frisian, my mother tonguqe) which explains my journey in the tank and aquascaping hobby.
    What my inspiration is and how I came to be this good today.
    Because I'm vurbaly not that good due to stammering and fear of speaking, I asked a fellow hobbyist to narrate the rest of the script for me.
    If following the script completely, it would have contained even more information for beginners, on how to use the technical details and how to build up a scape from scratch.
    Would you guys be up for maybe a video of my own, elebarating about the left out details?
    Or maybe a small e-book?
    I would personally prefer the latter.
    Thank you again for watching and thank you all for the new subscribers to my channel😃
    Best regards, Titia🌸

I have also subscribed to her Channel and got some help from her.
    I have also finally today managed to complete the Father Fish Substrate supplement here in the UK which I will be using in 3 of my Aquariums and 1 for my Friends Aquarium.

    Such a great explanation on bringing certain dimensions to life. I really love a jungle look but no too crowed, though I still cant seem to figure out how to best slope a substrates to create that natural looking feel, so I have done that which was explained with the use of the plants size/height/shorter/taller from front to back. I truly enjoy the scapes I have created. I to date have 33 tanks, 3 bowls .5gal, 1.5gal, 3.5gal, 10- 2.5gal grooming jars, 6- 5gal sexting/strain separation of guppy fry, 6- 10gal for grow out, 2- 30gal long to breed & raise my 3 types of gobies & 1 30gal tall for my ottos & nerite snails, also the 54gal bowfront which houses my cory cats and mystery snails & my holding/quarantine tank that is 90 gallon with multiple loaches SAE & wild shrimps & 3 20gal tall I have not yet scaped, so any ideas anyone would like to share id love to hear it. All my jars & tanks have different scaped feels. Aquascaping has truly become my scapegoat from life's stresses. Im just all around at peace when im around my tanks & my various house plants. My yard kinda looks like dirt because I took the garden inside. Thank you Father Fish & all of you out there aquascaping, posting advice & photos, continuing to give me inspiration. What's your scapegoat?

      Hard scaping or aquas caping is like an art, even art has rules even photography has rules but those rules are basics in starting some piece. It's up to the artist to find beyond their imagination to make an art but still follows those basic rules.

      ​@@antonfelice5284hi Anton Felice, that's my exact opinion to. Every aquascaper has it's own style, but all of them follow basic principles and techniques, to visually make it look nice. There is much more information I wrote down then is visible in the video. So maybe people feel confused about the little information that is presented at them.

      ​@Slawsershi, thank you very much for defending my tank, it's much appreciated❤ My forest style can be a bit overgrown at times without intervention, and some people don't like a slight chaotic look. That's fine, people don't have to like my style. My goal is to teach people the basics of aquascaping, use their favourite plants and create their own aquascape, catered to their style.
