12 HOURS OF AQUASCAPING IN 20 MINUTES - FULL TUTORIAL (4K)

[@BradPorter-e9x]

Thanks for taking on my commission, George! I have to say it was a tremendously great experience. I learned so much, and the 20 minutes belittle the 12 + hours of work it takes to get something so beautiful! There is nothing like having that experience in your own environment. You helped with the equipment and plant choices and spent so much time ensuring what was created was something the whole family (and dogs!!) could enjoy. You were an absolute pleasure to work alongside and have in the house. I look forward to seeing you in upcoming events very soon. Thanks, mate!!

Excellent decision getting George in for the scaping. You might have seen him do my tank a year ago. Would agree with me he's a nice and decent guy

[@BradPorter-e9x]

@@zaink7037 Not a single regret. Such a genuine and lovely guy. 12 hours of hard work, and every minute was a pleasure.

🙏 grateful for the opportunity

[@simply_naturescaping]

I really like it. Simple but stunning!

[@mikeinca3762]

Another amazing setup and the aquascape setup vids never get old, always learning and taking notes, I could watch these forever! Thanks George and always a pleasure to see the master at work!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks mate 🙏

That rock is special. It's a simple thought with deep meaning.... I would love to see a scape that highlighted how special that stone is. Various shapes, sizes, and showing it off. Beautiful work. That snippet at the end, set to that music was the perfect moment this morning.

Thank you i love getting ideas and learning techniques to make my tanks look nice ❤

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Great to hear!!

[@mattyS2012]

Ive been planning doing a very similar layout but have been struggling with how exactly to do it so this video was perfect inspiration! now to attempt a similar, all be it simpler aquascape based off this for my first ever scape 😊

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@BaselineBoulder]

Love that you have on the Aqua Base shirt! I was there this summer before Luis Carlos winning tank was announced. Would love to see you two do something together… maybe at Horizons or Green Aqua?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

That would be great! I have so much respect for the Aqua Base and Green Aqua teams 😃

[@marknicholas2471]

Hi George, thanks for this excellent and inspiring video. I shamelessly ripped off your hardscape design and planting suggestions to produce a budget version for my first proper aquascape. Following your advice, I’d planned to do weekly 50% water changes, but would you recommend that I do more frequent smaller changes initially, until the plants get established? Also, 24 hours after set-up the water has become quite cloudy, which I assume is new tank bacteria bloom - some online advice says to leave this to clear for a week or two, and that changing water will make it worse. Presumably you’d recommend ignoring this advice and persevering with the frequent water change regime? Apologies for all the questions, but look what you’ve started! 😃

Hi George, well done on creating this beautiful scape , will be great to get an update . All the best , Martin

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thank you Martin!

[@zaink7037]

Excellent job again george with your artistic skills on this tank. Still need come over to mine to do a 1 year update

[@tmdroopy]

thanks brother! liked and subd!

[@James-sf5bb]

Would love to see how the progresses in time, it’s stunning. I prefer natural scapes personally, and i have two scapes myself with this same stone, which i acquired from aquarium gardens a while back.

[@steffanjansenvanvuuren3257]

A fresh clean Aquarium is good looking just like that... I'll even admire it like that for a while before starting to "populate" it...

[@richiep430]

beautiful scape George.

[@codysingleton4960]

Did the famous colander bite the dust?! Great scape. Beautiful tank!

[@carlosseptiencuevas1613]

Love this scape !,add some fissidens moss to the rocks!

[@MrEbrahimBalwa]

George what are the light settings set at ? and will he be dosing ferts in the first few weeks?

[@BradPorter-e9x]

The Chihiros WRGB2 Pro 90 is at 25% (WRGB all the same) and will be that way for around 3 weeks. Currently dosing 10ml per day of TNC Complete.

Hi George, what is the best way to add new shrimp and fish to an aquarium with CO2 injection with no prior fish or shrimp ? I’ve having real trouble finding the information online

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

If you’re seeing plenty of plant growth and testing zero ammonia and nitrite then just add a few fish and shrimp, and observe

Hi Doris!

Black elderly stone doesn’t appear to be available in the U.S. yet.

[@joshualandon420]

I was just thinking that I need to use this stone on my next scape and noticed the same. Sucks.

[@HotshotH]

It’s a South American themed tank, but nothing in it except the swords are found in that continent in the wild! Perhaps we should just call it an “Earth” themed tank instead!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Staurogyne repens, Echindorus grisebachii “Bleherae” (will dominate the background), Echindorus grisebachii “Tropica” originate from South America but the theme is based more on the proposed fish (Angelfish, various tetras, corydorus). “Themed” is a subjective quality too. For the really pedants out there, all these plants come from greenhouses and laboratories in Denmark, so maybe it should be a Danish themed scape. 😂

[@HotshotH]

⁠@@GeorgeFarmerStudios Like I say, just the swords, but admittedly I forgot the Staurogyne. Does black elderly stone and manzanita wood originate from SA? My comment wasn’t intended to be negative at all, just observing that more components came from elsewhere. Still beautiful work nonetheless.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

It’s a fair comment. I don’t know the answers to your questions. The theme is ambiguous unless we’re talking about the proposed fish.

[@BradPorter-e9x]

That's my fault! I was vague about what I was looking for (very vague!), and there was some adaptation and bending. I am really pleased with the outcome.

[@steffanjansenvanvuuren3257]

Anubias, yet another trash name, actually. >>It's named after the Egyptian god of death, Anubis

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I like the Anubias name. Death > dark > shade. Makes perfect sense. Have a lovely day, Steffan 😎
