[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Nice video guys 👏 love the hardscape and oh my goodness the CO2 cylinder 😍

[@bmomosaik]

i would like to see John use ultum nature systems strata 1 and 2 showing what someone can do with a premade hardscape and what people can do with such items aswell.

[@UltumNatureSystems]

Stay tuned til episode 6 :)

Pure genius 👏 🙌 👌

[@lvlyprem9575]

Amazing man, nice tutorial l ❤ It 😍😍😍

[@UltumNatureSystems]

Glad you like it!

[@skippy5311]

Very cool! Approximately how much in USD does it cost for putting together that exact system, everything included? Is the water that you fill the tank with filtered or prepared in any way? I am thinking about taking a side step into planted tanks after spending years in reef tanks. Thanks for any info!

[@westinmcentire]

Do you have the parts you can share for the tube system you used to refill the tank?

[@ryanball6218]

What heater is used?

[@ethanray-louisvilleaquasca3553]

Great video again fellas. For reference sake, how many pounds of seiryu did you use in this setup?

[@bmomosaik]

Alot double what you think it is

[@ethanray-louisvilleaquasca3553]

@@bmomosaik I was assuming around 60-80 lbs, so I doubt it’s double that. I know how much seiryu weighs and how dense it is.

[@UltumNatureSystems]

@@ethanray-louisvilleaquasca3553 Yes, it was around 70lbs the largest one was about 24lbs itself.

[@ethanray-louisvilleaquasca3553]

@@UltumNatureSystems very cool. I guess my ‘eyeballing’ weight is getting better. I’m slowly building an assortment of hardscape collection, and always helpful to have a size to weight reference.

[@UltumNatureSystems]

@@ethanray-louisvilleaquasca3553 Usually the general rule that we suggest is 4 x tank volume for Iwagumi layouts, so for this UNS 60U it would be around 4 x 20 gallons = approximately 80lbs of stone.

[@kc.collects3334]

May I know what spray nozzle you use? Is it hand-pumped?

[@UltumNatureSystems]

It is electric, just a random one off amazon

[@hiro5514]

can i ask bout the name of thing that u use to fill up the tank?

[@UltumNatureSystems]

They are spare parts from out Delta canister filters attached to a water pump.

[@saraathena]

Hi guys, can’t find your products in Europe. Is there any European seller?

[@UltumNatureSystems]

yes, you should be seeing our products pop up in Europe more frequently in the near future!
