BIG shoutout to my editor Logan Rando who narrated this video! Stalk him on Instagram @logan.rando instagram.com/logan.rando Or check out his web: www.loganrando.com

[@nycjt6267]

i really enjoyed the narration style. Thanks guys!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Reading the comments and many do not like the narration, Logan did an excellent job with this one. Super educational, great to listen. It will not replace your personality, but beautiful touch to some videos. Great one guys. Kudos to Logan. Keep up the good work guys - Viktor

Cheers Viktor

i love the narration, the narrator has a good voice! kind of reminds me of those old school movie trailers

[@rajatdeb5091]

Reminds me 'The green machine'..I miss deeply James the finest....Your own demo is perfect... keep that on..

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

I think many got into aquascaping because of Amano pictures. But many others because of James videos

[@rajatdeb5091]

@@JurijsJutjajevs Absolutely.... I always think that..You also give us inspiration.. keep going...

[@enigmaticennui]

reminds me of the green machine. I dig the narration

[@grav3ns3n]

Dude.. don't copy the Green Machine videos style.. the way you do it till now was perfect, calm, clear, informative and relaxing. You don't need a narrator.

[@KimbiW]

or, at least narrate the video himself

[@EricLabelleUX]

VoiceOver!!! Getting fancy Jurijs!!! Tank looks fantastic!

[@Roshk26]

I absolutely loved the "Green Machine" style narration. Please make more like this one :)

[@aquascaping_videos]

Great intro, would love to see that style more often! The whole concept of the video is great from time to time. You two are making KZbin a lot better.

[@Mig13]

Great Narration! Thank you for this Video. It is very informative and relaxing.

[@superjaz1810]

Aw not a fan of the voice-over Jurijs. No offence to the narrator, it just adds so much more interest to the video to hear your voice and the way you explain things.

[@workdresser]

Go back to talking Juris. Not a fan of the narration

[@davidhunternyc1]

I love the final shot where Jurijs is admiring himself on TV. 😆

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

It was shot meant to promote the original making of video.

[@daveb3093]

I really enjoyed it, not sure why everyone is hating on doing something a little different. Felt like a documentary with the extra shots and Logan's voice. Do what you enjoy Jurijs, we'll be happy. 💚

[@Hawiiti]

Awh men, what a great video. Love the vibe this video is bringing with it. Gives a great overview of one of your best scapes!

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Giving an overview was the idea behind this video

[@nvmbii]

I’m late to the party but I loved everything about this video! Logan’s narrating was so educational, as a newbie to aquascaping I appreciate it sm!

[@herahagstoz6934]

Unlike reading a how-to guide, or endlessly searching on the google to find the most appropriate this or that, this video is a beautiful visual audiobook chronicling the biography of this beautiful yet simple aquascape. It is a three dimensional landscape painting with the ability to slowly morph and evolve as the artist sculpts and adds detail until it becomes a magical world that you could watch forever. I don't know who the judgey jackasses are but everything about this video is excellent. As a beginner and a visual learner it perfectly explains what I was hoping to understand and gives me so much to look forward to as I try my hand at this new art form. For far too long, aquarium keeping has been a monoculture of square or rectangular post modern brutalism, leaving almost no room for the imagination and amounted to one modifying the furniture and potted plants inside different sized office buildings. Now it seems that there is no limit except in one's imagination. I do have one question though. The snails. Especially nerites. How did he manage the obnoxious, unsightly, and impossible to remove from rock, eggs? I had these snails for the same reason he said he was keeping them; the excellent cleanup work they do. However they quickly destroyed every single item I placed in the tank because they were constantly laying eggs on every surface. I was able to scrape them off the glass easily enough with a razor blade, but they ruined so many of my beautiful rocks and they are still stuck all over them even though it has been at least 5 years and I've bristle brushed them, soaked them in various solutions, and took a wire brush to the crevices. I just cringed when I heard him say the species. How did he stop them from laying on the rocks? Did the snails not like that particular type of rock? Any tips or alternative species of cleaner animal (I love shrimp but they don't do the same job) would be super!

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Thanks for your feedback. I don’t use Nerite snails for the mentioned reasons. I find Clithon sp. better in surviving (lower mortality) and they do less eggs. In general both species have male and female specimens and if you are lucky you only have the one or the other and in this rare case - no eggs. I guess the porous volcanic rocks are less attractive as a surface too

[@mell0116]

Great video and nice to see Steve with his cheeky little face :-) also nice to hear Logan but I personally would rather hear you.

[@3mediastudiodesign]

Perfect for a recap video about your dry nano experience, Rando has beautiful voice too, but for tutorials video live voice is stunning. Amazing work anyway guys. Keep pushing

[@1816pinaki]

Wowwwwwwwe ....... what a story telling ,, love the video

[@GrowingInterest]

I like this jungle feeling, nice voice over :)

[@ashishbhoyar2039]

You are the best aquascaping tutor I love your videos I follow you on KZbin and instagram , this green machine style narration experiment was a fale as your voice suites your style of video I not saying it's bad but the soul was missing regards your fan

[@uraninite8151]

I liked it. Your original style and this are nice.

[@alexwalkman1810]

i have to say i think that's awesome with the narration. I understand people who say it doesn't quite fit into your portfolio. Still, logan recorded it incredibly well. i think the video is one of the most relaxed. Like it very much. Good work.

[@AquaGardenAquariums]

National Geographic style! Nice!

[@versatilesalada]

The narration was unexpected, but it grew on me! A different style for sure. I'd suggest doing this for bigger tank builds that we haven't seen on the channel before.

[@MrXicoification]

Looks like a “the green machine” video, more a copy than an original ideia. Great filming

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

I love the intro 😁 I love the video and the tutorial!! It was very entertaining and educational! 👍👍 Thank you Jurijs for sharing your incredible talent with us so we can make beautiful aquascapes too!! It's been 9 months...Wow!!!👍🌿🐟🌱😍🙏

[@AquascapingTV]

Great movie, greetings from Ulm 👍😎👨‍🌾

[@noname-vz1uw]

What do you do with the plants and fish after decobstructing?? Can you sell them back to aquarium stores or do you have a room full of plants and fish for scapes?

[@l9690]

Where do I get the mini Lilly pipes. I can find them that small

[@shoshiscaping]

[@tombradyandme]

J- I know Monte Carlo is a very popular carpeting plant but can you tell me why? Also, what are some other favorite carpeting plants of yours? I am putting together a new Iwagumi style set up with a bonsai as the main point of focus and have been back and forth about a couple of options for the carpeting. Appreciate your thoughts...

[@pawezielinski4233]

Welcome. Your channel is great. I have a request, namely, I have a 30x30x35 tank and it swims in Betta Splendens. He is already overgrown and my daughter would like to change to something more minimalist. I was thinking about Iwagumi or Ragwork style. Can you somehow help in this matter ??

[@AquaSkyTV]

So cool idea for a video mate! :) Greetings from #notificationsquad :)

[@bit-priority]

this video with narration feels like I'm watching discovery or history channel lol

[@Eric-bq1jo]

Is it better to add sand prior to adding water or after? When I add sand on top of my substrate and then add water, the water causes my sand to float.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

(dont use floating sand) try spraying sand wet prior filling with water

[@TankTastic]

Finally! New vid!

[@condorX2]

Nice video. How much total to get this tank running? I wanna have a good idea on how to spend.

[@Arthur01694]

what king of tubing did you use on the outake, the circular one

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

It’s called “spin pipe” as it makes the water spin and gently enter small aquariums

[@stevet9487]

What is going down!! Like it as it was.

[@rydanoel]

The narration style reminded me of the countless hours I spent watching The Green Machine videos. I actually like the style, but I think what takes you out of the moment is that a lot of the footage was shot without taking this style into account. So every time there is a shot of you explaining something to camera and you hear a narrator, there is a disconnect and it takes you out of the moment. Plus, as a loyal viewer, I had seen all of the footage before so it was hard to really stay with it like I normally would. I wouldn't give up on the style, Jurijs. It's definitely something I think is worth keeping in the mix. But next time consider shooting with the style in mind.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Thanks Ryan, Logan and I came up with the idea to summarise the journey of this layout and its been great to discover how important my personality is to the majority of the audience. I'll narrate the next one of its kind my self for sure and will try to implement Logans epic narrator voice in a different way.

[@majk8697]

nice bag for tools:D

[@austriaaquascaping]

It's always good to try something new and in my opinion the Voiceover makes the video way more informative (your old videos were cool too😉) Apart from that, Logans Voice reminds me of the green machine and it was really relaxing and calming to watch this video! Against most of the others here in the comments, I want to encourage you to make more Videos like this one!💚 Keep up the great work! Greets, Elias

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

It’s different from my other content

[@osveix]

Nice tank but not a fan of the voice over. Your videos are best when it’s just you talking to the viewer. This feels needlessly second-hand.

[@jamesrenschen1725]

This experiment doesn’t fulfill what ‘The Green Machine’ accomplished so well. While I applaud Jurijs & Logan- it doesn’t use either of their combined talents to the best effectiveness, and seems a draft that ultimately, while technically great, is a detractor to the great expectations of a Namesake channel. It’s crafting doesn’t introduce anything new, yet postpones us from that which we’ve come to love. Change can be good for all; in this final analysis, I humbly submit a plea for, nay, a cry for Jurijs & Logan to recombine for a return to what was developing a natural, beautiful, and successful organic evolution to the channel. Something that can be observed from an outsider most easily, and acutely observed with a glorious binge watching of all the videos; combined with spectacular pop up visits on other Aquascaping channels. Respectfully, fanatically- James :-)

initial fill up with tap water, afterwards always used RO water for spraying to avoid calcium stains

[@GLDEMING]

@@JurijsJutjajevs i dont know if i can use a tap water on mine cause, here in US tap water are not good, what i use is the purified water i usually go to the store and fill up the 5 gallon bottle to 15 gallon bottle.

No good... I appreciate being different and trying new things! It feels like a documentary on BBC or something which was funny. However, if you don’t try it you will never know your audience response. Please don’t let people’s reaction’s discourage you from continuing to try new things. I think to many creators get in their give and get too nervous to ever explore new styles so I applaud you for that!

[@lucl8759]

I watch with delight several times all your videos since the first confinement in France. I love your job and ended up being convinced by twinstar. So I bought a Twinstar 300E III to replace my very white Chihiros A301 with a yellowish finish. I am very surprised to find the same yellowish color with twinstar, however very well known (by you in particular). I am disappointed, the color rendering is exactly the same for a handsome higher price. Anyway, I understand that you are promoting your sponsors but I wanted you to know that this leads to illusions and disappointments.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

I have never tested Chihiros my self, for this I cannot comment on the comparison. I'm happy with the color rendition of this light as many others are too cold for my taste

[@christophkup6848]

Of course, it's one of the best Aquascaping video-series. But, please, everyone, don't put fish in such a small tank! Almost every german source f.e. recommends at least 50 litres for the attitude of this fish. Maybe 40 litres would be somehow ok, but not 17 litres! 17 litres are a catastrophy for 11 or 12 fish! :(

Hi finde das Video ist sehr gut geworden. Aber wenn du selbst sprichst finde ich es besser hier hat man halt ein Video was alles erklärt aber es fehlt finde ich die Persönlichkeit und auch ein bisschen Unterhaltung.

10 CPDs and a goby in 4g (15 L)-substrate and rocks for a permanent holding tank is really overstocked and detrimental to the natural behavior. Not only bad example for nano aquariums, but Jurijs what about the German animal abuse act ?

[@williamwescott4213]

I agree that this voice-over is like a condom on the experience. Doesn't make it not worth watching, but I'd rather have you, Juris, talking to us directly.

[@mrek2068]

Prefer your own narrative, rather than the voice over. However, to me, it's OK, and the filming is excellent. If the narrative wasn't placed over an existing video, where we can see you talking, in my humble opinion, would be better. You could really make this style of video work. Keep experimenting.

@@JurijsJutjajevs I would prefer it if you read the same text. It has a different perspective when delivered from the first person, not third.
