Aquascape Tutorial: How To Make A Natural Planted Dirted Tank | Low Tech Tank | Ecosystem Aquarium

[@FatherFish]

Very nicely done. Your techniques are gentle and well thought out. Congratulations on a lovely video emphasizing the extraordinary value of a genuinely natural aquarium,

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much! Nice to see you here 👋 I love your content on dirted tanks! Thank you for also teaching these techniques to so many people.

[@BLUEGREEN65]

Hi Father Fish 😊

[@sofiakaos5278]

Im thinking of having a dirted tank without a cap... or rather organics will eventually create one. Any insights on this please if it can work?

[@DEXTER-TV-series]

💣 Father has very few small fish per gallon in the tank, "hungry fish = healthy fish", few small fish that are fed little and rarely produces little waste, "nitrates and algae are not a problem", "nitrates harm the fish if they are above 500". 💣 Kevin Novak wants a lot of big fish per gallon, "I want to feed the fish a lot every day several times a day", this produces a lot of waste, "nitrate levels are very low in nature", "plants don't need a lot of nitrogen", "I don't want algae ". As a result, we have the following. 💣 Few hungry fish per gallon, a little waste, a ton of plants, nitrate 400 (FOUR HUNDRED), relatively a lot of algae - Father makes videos "My successful aquariums", "You shouldn't do water changes", "Algae is your beast?", "Nitrate is not an issue", "300 aquariums 8 years - 0 maintenance!", water changes - once every six months. 💣Lots of fish per gallon, lots of food lots of waste, few plants, nitrate 40 (FORTY), my tank has a little algae - Kevin Novak makes a video "This Tank Fails, I Reset It!" Thus, *Father's successful aquarium and Kevin Novak's successful aquarium are completely different things!!!* Please note: Father does not test the water for nitrate, this is not an issue for him! Try to find at least one video of him measuring nitrate levels! In contrast, you will find a bunch of videos in which Kevin Novak makes and shows the nitrate level: *he wants it to be zero, like in nature! Kevin Novak strives to have nitrate levels in the aquarium similar to those found in nature! And Father has nitrate levels up to 500 (FIVE HUNDRED) and talks about a "natural aquarium".*

[@ducdinh2040]

I got two tiny glass vases on our dinning table (probably 5L water each), have many plants and 2-3 guppys, shrimps and snells in each. No water change, just pour more water if the water level is low (probably once after two months), no filter, no CO2...etc. When I built them, I aimed for a setup as simple as possible to reduce maintaince time. They have been running well for already two years.

[@peaceofnaturee]

It’s perfect 👍 Congratulations!

[@jamesbond4349]

Hi, can you share your setup, i just want to make the same! What plants do you recomend? And what soil ? Thanks

[@ducdinh2040]

​@@jamesbond4349 As mentioned above, my setups are very very simple. They include 5L vase with small (cheap) gravels, different types of plants (Vallisneria, bucephalandra, anubias, mosses, duck weed, bugle and mermaid weeds, ...). All are small enough to fit inside those vases, but not too dense so i still can see some gaps in between them. It took about one month to stabilize the water. During that time, I change water probably once a week. When plants are all good and started to have new roots and leaves (especially the weeds, as they only develop well inside clean water), I slowly put in some snells, then schrimps, and finally fishes. Schrimps like the weeds, they need clean water to be alive... To clean to gravels and glass I aslo have Malaysian Trumpet and Nerita snails. About light, just a 5W white LED is enough, that is set to automatically switch on/off from 8 AM to 9 PM. So, yeah, very simple and cheap setups, but work well (as I aimed for) and take me very little time to maintain.

[@M4RQE]

@@ducdinh2040 what type of water do you start with?

[@ducdinh2040]

@@M4RQE just tap water. However, the area I am living has only hard water, so I use Brita waterfilter to convert to soft water (we use such water for cooking anyway).

this is a very well made in depth video explaining the true success and beauty that comes with a natural freshwater aquarium, keep up the good work of sharing your knowledge to inexperienced aquatic animal keepers, we need to keep pushing out the information so we will have less rainbow gravel plastic plant glass boxes that kill fish and cause people to give up when they have been mislead into believing thats the way to do it.

Mate that tank is an absolute dream, well done. My experience with those little hair ties is that they eventually break and are then a bit of a pain to fish out and I guess are a small risk of being ingested by fish, so just keep an eye out for that. Great video, earned yourself another sub.

Растения типа кустарников выкопал в саду, корни в грунте, сами растения на верху, и ещё купил плавающих на поверхности растений, аквариуму второй месяц, рыб не перекармливаю, воду только доливал, не разу не каких тестов не делал. А грунт набрал у нас на море. Рыбки радуют от воды приятный запах) и это мой первый аквариум в жизни.

any tip if I have an empty tank set up and can only plant lightly (due to income and availability)? It is a 40G dirted tank with sand cap. I haven’t even added the water yet😊 I’ll have a 20G sponge filter running as it cycles. I dont have lighting yet. I do get a decent amount of indirect sunlight. I don’t have a lid for the aquarium yet. I thought I’d make something but I wanna be able to have room for plants in the top. I don’t know.. I have never ever done this before and I have never kept fish before lol. I’d like to get a light and do the siesta method where it’s like five hours on a few hours off and five hours on again.

[@papascrumpeeh]

if you decide to have the aquarium without a lid be careful of the fish u put in as some will often jump out , on the light department it really depends what plants are u planning to put in , in my experience at least a strong light is the most important for the plants to thrive but of course I also got to look at the power consumption if you want a light that has less strength and consumption then you should make sure the plants you get do well in low light environments something like anubias for example , besides the sponge filter a filter that does not consume power are your plants soo having the tank heavily planted will do wonders to ur fish , and do not add too many fish at once go slow add em' gradually soo you don't get ammonia spikes especially at early stages after cycling the tank. Father Fish has a LOT of great tips and advice/tutorials on how to start such tank , check him out if u haven't already :p Good luck and have fun!

Thank you so much! I only rinse them in water. Vinegar can work good with rocks. But I think It’s not necessary. The important point is that pesticides, fertilizers, etc. do not mix with the materials we collect from nature.

[@MahmudulHasan-pm3pd]

Thank you so much for the video. It's gonna be very helpful for a beginner like me. Would like to share about the light that you are using here?

[@peaceofnaturee]

You’re welcome! I have 2 simple LED lights from local brand. Nothing special, I don’t even remember their power. I bought them years ago.

[@michelhaineault6654]

I have a 180 gallons planted dirted tank with 5 adults discus and 20 small fishes and a lot of plants, that are growing fast since two years without chemical , but I still do water change sometime like 20 gallons each 2 weeks BECAUSE discus need very very clean water....temperature is 84 degree fahrenheit .

[@peaceofnaturee]

Yes Discus are different kind of fish, they always effects me! To be honest I never keep discus in my life. But I want to experience them. Some tanks need water change, people need to know when they need to change water of their aquarium becauase all aquarium have different parameters and different fish, plants in it. We should do our best for our own aquariums.

[@aymond101]

Do you have a video explaining how to pick rocks suitable for aquatic life and how to clean and prepair driftwood for the tank?

[@peaceofnaturee]

I will make one.

[@Panumaoffire]

Thanks you for this amazing minutes that you make for us I just want to make a new tank and I want to buy some aqua soil but after this I just want to keep it simple and make it with dirt …..❤❤

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much! Good luck 🍀

Love the scape v pretty. I like the dirt substrate a lot.

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you!

Beautiful stuff!!!

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you!

[@TheZinminjr]

Nice job not using glue! Love the natural look! I’m curious if the Monserrat could be planted in the tank? It’s my favorite too and I’m considering doing this.

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you! We can’t plant the Monstera all in the water.

[@ragnarlothbrok3307]

i already setup an aquascape with any plants, but my wife put a ton of fish in there, so many kind of fish. now my tank seems like fresh fish market 😉

[@atahanboluk2965]

Best work of this channel!! its like a documentary. Looking forward to watch next videos also! Please do something special for your followers also. Nice!

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you mate! What kind of special build do you want to see?

[@SuperSonfish]

Can I use soil beside a pond creek or lake? this really inspired me to create something similar this is a really beautiful and the most natural looking tank I have ever seen! this is lovely and I also like the emphasis on using what mother nature have to have a slice of mother nature in your home! I have kept dirted tank but a small one im planning on getting a 40 gallon going. Any advices would really help me have a succesful tank like yours.

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much! I never tried creek or lake soil directly. I don’t want to give you wrong advice. 🙂

[@SuperSonfish]

@@peaceofnatureeOh I see its fine! Where dod you purchase your plants? Was it online? Do they ship in America? Sorry for a lot of questions

[@sahabatalam24]

Hi friend, your work is very beautiful and neat, if I may ask, during the process, how many hours per day is the aquarium light on?

[@peaceofnaturee]

Hi, thank you so much! The lights stay on for 8 hours a day unless there is an extreme situation.

[@retro6652]

Thank you!! I had never considered clear hair ties to secure moss!!

[@peaceofnaturee]

You’re welcome! It’s working well!

[@lgarmo]

Beautiful aquascape. How do you provide light for the Monstera?

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much! Directly day light from windows. 🙂🌿

[@olecwow]

wow thats stunning! looks great, wondering how it looks one month after

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much! I will keep update!

[@davebdot6713]

I am experimenting with clay as a nutrient layer in a project. I used pond soil in my 4 foot and had to deal with heavy algae blooms for almost a year

[@peaceofnaturee]

Did you cover soil with sand or gravel?

[@davebdot6713]

@@peaceofnaturee i used sand to top it off. I just think that 5 gallons of pond soil was a bit much for a 66 gallon tank

[@davebdot6713]

But it balanced itself after i put 2 water lilies in it

[@allanhong4703]

Many thanks. This is exactly what I have been looking for.

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much!

Love the tank and video! What is the ambient room temperature with you having no in tank heater? Thanks

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 Temperature in tank 24-25C.

[@kingj001]

best aquascape ive seen. how long did you boil the driftwood to remove most of the tannins?

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you! I didn’t boil them 🙂

[@kingj001]

@@peaceofnaturee youre welcome! and also thanks for the response.how did you got rid of the tannins thoo?

❤Really, you have great natural aquarium❤. We appreciate your great contribution 👍 ❤

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@priorlakemohawk]

Very nice set up. One question though. Why would you add Assassin Snails to the setup after adding Nerites? Nerites can only reproduce in brackish water, your assassin snails will go after the Nerites if they can't find other pest snails. Also, they will reproduce as much as the pests.

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much! I added assasin snails because i bought these plants from local pet store. I did't see any pest snails but I'm sure they have little ones or eggs between leaves. I love pets snails but I don't want they over population and close my view on the front glass of the tank.

[@priorlakemohawk]

@@peaceofnaturee That makes sense, just worried they'll consume the Nerites and get out of hand if they can't find enough food. Keep up the great work though. Someday I hope to have a set up that nice! :)

[@peaceofnaturee]

@@priorlakemohawk I hope you will make your dream setup soon 🙏🏻

[@SuperNova496]

Awesome Video ... For a dirted tank this big regular water changes are not recommended,.

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻 That’s why i choice my biggest tank to my dirted tank 👊 Do you have one?

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

Cheers from my fish room in Chicago! Lovely tank ... and channel :) Delighted to subscribe.

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you so much! Have fun with your room!

[@EricMidgett]

I love this! We have a small 30 gal tank for a small musk turtle and a school of guppies. Do you think a set-up like this could work for a turtle?

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you! I don’t think it will work with Turtles because they possibly destroy to substrate and we don’t want to touch the dirt after setup.

[@jegantkd6609]

Great video ❤ Why the yellowish tone is prevailing across the aquarium ? Is it just because of normal lighting ? Because most of the commercial aquariums display stunning colours. Just asking out of curiosity.

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you! I think it’s because of my camera because water color is not yellow. You can watch my latest video. You will see better!

[@RobinAnthonys]

This is so good and I am planning to start one following these steps. I have a spare wave maker, can I use that instead of mini filter?

[@peaceofnaturee]

Thank you! Yes you can use it for water circulation. Good luck. 🍀

[@RobinAnthonys]

Thank you 😊
