8 MONTH AMAZING PLANTED TANK EVOLUTION! (BUCEPHALANDRA TANK UPDATE)

[@avoile1476]

Wow what a difference-- the dimensionality of the reef rocks change everything. For me, the tank is now a luxuriant display of dense clumps of healthy plants in all kinds of colors, textures, and forms. It has so much more depth and the plants can be better appreciated as they contrast with one another and have more space. Fantastic! Also, I was taken out by the metallic sheen on the buce starting at 8:40. So much sparkle and shine you'd think it was dusted with mica. 🤩 Thank you for putting in all the effort to document a nearly year long project, this was great to watch. Please say hi to your dogs and the squirrel for me

My friend i'm sorry for this late response, thanks so much for your comment i really appreciate you supporting this small channel, i know it was a blast to build and watch it transform into a breathtaking scene in all of its sides, it is now gone 😢 but every plant is safe and healthy and growing more for the next scape! i want to experiment with something different like a natural scene with more texture but still display the clumps in all of its glory, probably will do soon but ill upload a new video of the current state of the plants their amazing colors and the setups, i hope you enjoy it! ❤️

"My kind of Reef" speak volumes! When you said this, I SAW the vision. This is truly beautiful. You outdid yourself and earned a subscriber. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Aqualibriumx]

Hello my friend thanks so much for your comment i really appreciate it, im sorry im responding so late ive been changing a ton of stuff this week probably will upload thanks for subscribing and supporting it means a lot to me! greetings from Mexico!

[@noahlottastuff5703]

On a side note.... This is a massive flex... This is not a cheap tank to create. This is a money tank

[@N5Addiction]

It differently is, i already got over €500-. Euros of bucephalandras in a 30 liter

[@Aqualibriumx]

Oh man it is a money pit, not so much for the bucephalandra as for the equipment, lights and filter and co2 system like 800 usd, of 3 years ago, but the buce i mostly grew myself over the years, but i purchased like 250 usd from indonesia and got amazing plants and stupid quantity so i raised them up to a big number over time, there are not even stores in my country where i could buy close to this amount of buce hahahaha and it wouldve cost me like 5k lol but i get your point! if i were to create it from no tank to this i would need some sponsors hahahaha greeting my friend i really appreciate your comments and support! let me know what you think of the upcoming video and the setups i got if you love buce youll love it!!!

[@Aqualibriumx]

Thanks for your comment my friend, they really are expensive as hell 😂 hope your buce are doing amazing!!

[@williamfenton7957]

Absolutely stunning aquarium I would never get anything done. I’d just stare at it all day. Would you ever add shrimp ? And have you ever had any problems with anubias rot?

[@Aqualibriumx]

Hello my friend! thanks for commenting and watching, i know it was not near my working area otherwise i would fall sleep watching it almost instantly as i did when laying in the couch in front of it! its just so relaxing, so unfortunately i had to move so i tore it down again, but i will add shrimp after i re-scape it as a riverscape i want to try a more natural look and have most of my collection emersed for a year at least while they adapt to the new house! and ive never had any anubias rot in the past, just some mold while growing emersed, but underwater ive been lucky to always have my anubias growing like crazy they must love it here! thanks for your support to the channel my friend i really appreciate it!

[@thiendinhondamic]

hi i am new to this hobby, seeing your tank inspire me a lot. Your tank looks stunning, can you share me how could you know the right amout of light to control algae free and how could you use Co2 so efficient, my plants they dont have little bubbles go up like that. Thank you! (my english is not so good)

[@RanchoRelaxoColombia]

sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Aqualibriumx]

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for commenting i really appreciate it! ❤️

[@SJLamb-te3dt]

Love buce! Gotta buy them tiny and grow them out because they are SPENDY. Do a mix of buce and cheaper stuff and as the buce grows out start removing the placeholder plants until you have majority buce. It will take time, absolutely, but uou can get there without breaking the bank.

[@Aqualibriumx]

Hello thanks for watching and commenting!! Definitely my friend! It’s a long time coming for them to look mature but it’s worth the wait! And also worth saving a ton of money with a little patience also watching them develop is much more valuable than just buying loads and put them in a tank! In my opinion anyway! Thanks for your comment and your support to the channel!! ❤️

[@PlantsGreen-o2y]

The tank transformation is amazing and the plants look soo good! was wondering what sp. of buce are the red ones on the middle area of the scape? Thanks and hopeful to see more content

[@Aqualibriumx]

My friend sorry for taking this long to reply, thanks so much for your comment i really appreciate it, the Buce sp. is Brownie Red! super vigorous plant beautiful colors! i'm getting ready to upload a tour of the new room with tons of beautiful plants and aquariums please enjoy!! greetings from Mexico! Thank you for supporting this small channel! ❤️

[@FEarth037]

What is noodle like leaf plant at 15:58 called?

[@Aqualibriumx]

hello my friend im pretty sure you mean the green long leafs its trident fern or microsorum var trident! thanks for watching!

[@xxVORONxx]

Why don't you get the fouling of the plant in the center?

[@Aqualibriumx]

I’m not sure what fouling is my friend I’m sorry thanks for commenting and watching the videos I really appreciate it!!

[@judejude520]

is it the video and camera show up more purple with the lighting or you actually had them pretty purple?

[@bartosztomasz]

Beautiful! But I have no clue how to fertilize a tank with epiphyte-dominated biomass. I only can grow stem-dominated tanks because I just add excess of everything and export if needed. I'd have no clue how to maintain a tank with slow-growing plants.

[@Aqualibriumx]

Hello brother thanks for watching and supporting the channel! I think always less is more with epyphytes and also adding ferns helps a lot if there is some excess but I’m sure you can do it!! Give it a shot by starting with a good frontal facing hardscape and plant some stems in the back and epyphites all in the hardscape and then you can try dialing your feed and still having sone stems to export if you need! But plant heavy from the start and feed them slowly with colder water and lower kh would help a lot! I hope you go for it! In sure you’ll grow some beautiful plants!

[@miguelangelnadalriquelme5758]

Jalapeño barcel chips are the best

[@Aqualibriumx]

There is no arguing with that Mr. 😂

[@acuaristayuca]

Muy pro 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ChanceBukoski]

What kind of rocks did you use in the aquarium

[@Aqualibriumx]

Hello my friend! Thanks for commenting and watching!! I used mostly black lava rock!!

[@azazello6755]

Light Chihiros ? what are your settings R% G% B% ?

[@Aqualibriumx]

Hello sorry for the late reply, thanks so much for your comment i really appreciate it, my settings are r65 g35-40 b60 right on top of the tank and it is 30 cm distance from the lowest plants and like 10 cm away from the most top plants! hope it helps even though its been a long time i apologize, thanks for your support!

[@joeimorttan4103]

Nice

[@Aqualibriumx]

Thank you for your comment!!

[@aljedlimpao4437]

Can I grow bucephalandra if attach them to vertical thin pvc that I laid on my aquarium?

[@Aqualibriumx]

Hello my friend sorry to reply this late, finally got around to replying all comments! I'm not sure what kind of pvc is it? flat or a pipe? usually they will grow in whatever surface they can attach to, as long as they have nutrients in the water and light, if you glue them anywhere they will grow there, but i would not recommend putting them in any surface that is not porous, as it may not be as happy and its not as easy to stay attached maybe tying them to it if it is like a pvc pipe could also work, still i would do it on rock wood or substrate for better results! thanks for your comment and for supporting the channel!!

[@aljedlimpao4437]

@@Aqualibriumx I actually glued them already and they have shown some rooting there. But you’re right, on porous or rougher surface would be better as I believe it would signal them to root more. Thanks for the response.

[@DetectiveLopez.]

Nice tank,did you give the dimensions 👍

[@Aqualibriumx]

hello my friend i'm sorry for the late reply! the dimensions are 90 cm by 50 cm by 30 cm its a big shallow tank! thanks for your support to the channel!!!

[@officialrobertcenox]

no after and before image ?

[@Aqualibriumx]

dang you are right i missed a great chance lol nets time will include! thanks for your support to the channel!

[@jomaripitallo8721]

how do you keep those algae free??

[@Aqualibriumx]

hello my friend!! weekly maintenance water change and timer lights and dosing, consistency is key to find balance in the planted aquarium also having lots of plants help, i do have algae but not enough to see on video lol thanks for your support to the channel i appreciate it!

[@adamcenteno6155]

I wish you had enlist some of the names for the plants so I can buy them.

[@Aqualibriumx]

Sorry for the late reply my friend, i have a ton of plants but any species of variegated anubias, bucephalandra, anubias will give you this look! im not really even sure of most of the real names of the buces i have in the collection, anubias is easier, i got pinto, panda, golden, nana, minima, pangolino, and buce some of them are brownie red, rosemary, catherine, sordidula just to mention a few! i hope it helps! thank you for your support to this small channel!

[@fandy.shadenio]

[@Aqualibriumx]
