Love this scape!!! I’m going to have to do something similar.

simple yet beautiful

Is it possible to thin out the Val? Pull some of it out by the root?

Beautiful scape 😍👏👏

never used val's myself and i know its a necessary part of maintenance, but it looks like you gave your aquarium a bowl cut my dude. nice scape though. glad you took the shade comments in stride

The tank is beautiful. I have 10 tanks and jungle Val in several. It does grow like a weed but mine turns brown after trimming and the leaves melt. I thought jungle Val doesn’t like to be trimmed.

Sir, which camera and lens do you use to shoot your videos. Much love 😊❤

your scape in the thumbnail drew me to your vid.

Wow love this tank @0.50 stunning has that natural river vibe could stare at it all day, the angels go with it so well and the one hiding at back slowly sinking down into the val at start of trimming had me giggling like "he hasn't seen me yet I'll just melt on down into here" I personally like the sweeping val look and probably would just cut off the dead leaves at the base and trim half to near top, give it some layers so it looks natural n leave the rest long to keep the sweeping look but let light down through. Gorgeous tank though well done. 💗

Val trimming: hold enough to fit length of scissors, then CUT, don't rip. You run risk of uprooting. I wouldn't consider rhis high maintenance at all. You're doing fine without CO2. CO2 will just encourage growth even more, lower your pH slightly, and an additional expense. The color on your plants is already vibrant and they're thriving.

way out of my league

Nice video! What is the hose and gear you use for water changes?

Awesome thank bro wanna build one one day 😅

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm planning a 125 gal. similar tank build. You've really inspired me in creating a semi-amazonian basin tank. Your dark method of establishing your aquarium is awesome. Mind you, I am not a very patient person, but it looks like the method pays off. Thank you.

hell, now your stand isnt level either.. what the heck brother? you went to far from the middle of video to the end.

my ocd mind cant not see that your lights are not sitting level to each other or the tank left side of left light needs to drop. but the hood you have on them is still going to be off. Grrrr. lol

i never get tired of biotope tanks as long as the needs of the livestock are met!

I just grab a bunch of the long leaves and rip them off. Lol. Takes 5 seconds.

Personally, I like your face...keep doing it your way! 😊 great scape also!

Thanks for sharing your experiences with the setup. It will help others avoid some errors.

Beautiful tank, not low maintenance with the val and water change but the results are worth the effort. Good humor in the video- I subbed👍

It looks like you've chosen a type of Val that grows very long. There are others that grow much shorter.

What lights are you using😊?

Negative comments are better than no comments 😅

First, don’t pay attention to the hater’s, showing your face allows your audience to make a connection to you. As for the maintenance with your play selection you don’t need to run CO2, but running it will allow for a more vibrant green. I have Val in a tank with swords, what I did is turn the bubble count down and that helps to keep the trimming less. Great setup all around. Your equipment selection, hardscape, plant selection and fish are great.

crazy nice tank! love angelfish nice camera angles nice ilumination just got a new sub! keep going my dude

Hello sir..your aquarium setup is very beautiful. Please tell me, which plant is used in your aquarium.

Alright, you’ve got another subscriber 🔔

Beautiful work

What’s your light setting? Red blue green %?

I like your setup great work

It is truly beautiful ❤!!!!

Wow.. why would you cut val with scissors? I just grab a bush with one hand and tear them off with the other. My tank is 200x50x50 cm and its full with val. I'd be on it all day with your approach :D

Ah, vallisneria. That's the reason I didn't use them in my most recent builds. They become really dominant even in just gravel. Those high end aquasoil are giving them a lot.

Those first vallisneria are thiCCCC

That tank is awesome. I love using Vallisneria in my scapes.

Nice scape for angels. Give a thought for Manacapuru/Altums. Jungle val 's are keeping up to it's name 😂. Those big water containers you are hauling..isn't it a back breaking or pain in the back?. I mean you'll really have to gear up your medical insurance in the long term scenario if the hauling process continues 😊.

To each his own, I guess, but I think your face is fine. I do, however, want to come over and clean the tubing and pipes.

really like your place, nice decor and nice presentation - speed and everything still think that it is not a low maintenance project due to tank size and other factor - harsh trimming of vallisneria, the end result if quite unsightly also it kills main feature of this plant, why people choose it - to have those nice long wavy strips of leaves on the surface for less trimming/maintenance & same look, i think, you should choose different plants with same habitus - like cyperus helferi (such a slow grower), eleocharis montevidensis or vivipara, murdannia keisak (which has nice emersed look) or even big echinodorus plant, like bleherae why do you need to trim vallisneria so short, you think your crypts not getting enough light? anyways, keep on going, nice material

Hey all, hope you all enjoy this update on my recently built Angelfish scape Help me out by hitting like and subscribing if you want to see more videos like this. Don’t forget to drop me a comment with your opinion on whether this tank can be considered low maintenance!

I like you tank mister, beatiful

Very neat setup 👍

Hello, it was a nice share, my friend, thank you for showing us this nice share.

Does not make any sense. No waste e.g. ammonia from fish no beneficial bacteria

Lovely tank…I love the clean lines and choice of fish…👍🏽

Looks good bro

I agree I love the clean look of the ceiling hanging lights with the rimless tank

I agree, I have a small creek/ stream going through my property in the back and I’ve been slowly searching for cool stones and sticks for the new build

I’ve never tried it this way but I have a new tank I’m getting ready to set up and this way makes sense so I might have to give it a shot

Please consider showing more direct shots of the tank and less of your face. It’s unnecessary to do selfie shots
