Aquascaping A 10 Gallon Budget Planted Tank

Today I scaped a 10 gallon aquarium! I used some plants I’ve never tried before, so it was an interesting scape to do!

This is one of the more impressive tanks I've seen on KZbin, and a kid made it. If what I'm building soon looks anything close to this, I'll be happy.

If you continue like this, soon you will have to buy a new house for all your tanks.

[@TobyCreates]

Haha yeah! Good thing I’ve had this tank sitting empty in the room for a while!

I LOVE THAT DRIFTWOOD

[@TobyCreates]

Thanks, I bought it at Petco and got a great deal on it, only $15!

[@angelabritten48]

Love the black background, personally I would prefer the sides painted too in a shelf situation because seeing the books each side didn't look good to me. Love the rest of the scaping. Great job!

[@Kristofererickson]

Awesome video and design. Thank you for making this. For the clay supplement, was that like a reptile tank substrate clay soil?

[@TRider09]

Very nice

[@LeeDfined]

Super creative...

Very beautiful

Thanks!

[@consuldanzell]

it's beautiful 😍

[@HizkiaGunawan]

Thanks for sharing! It's a great video. Do you have more information about the CO2 system?

[@turtscreates1972]

Looks great 👍. 5:00 this noodle look so delicious 😋.

[@turtscreates1972]

I can’t believe how much the editing has improved!

[@TobyCreates]

Haha thank you! I’m working on improving

[@neilmartin99]

Great job. Can I ask what variety of driftwood you used?

[@baloobochanneltv9917]

Wow toby great haircut and now your a handy man your turning out to be a man of many traits...great video man keep up the great work your doing amazing the future is definitely looking good for you

[@TobyCreates]

Thanks!

[@rachelg9873]

Wait? It's over? I was really enjoying that.

[@THEcucufate]

Look good. Would love to see the update and what fish you put in it.

[@TobyCreates]

Coming next week:)

[@j5183]

Good job kid that tank looks awesome!💪

[@omkiddd538]

Love the tank! Do you have any videos on how to do that co2 system? I’d love to watch one!

[@TobyCreates]

I do not, but there are a few tutorials out there. However I think it would be a good idea for me to make one because a lot of people seem interested in it. It is definitely a very low cost alternative to pressurized CO2

[@jeffreybowers1220]

do you add water conditoner every time you add water to the tank in this process or only before you are ready to add the fish

[@ThatOneGuy8-TOG]

Great tank it looks really good

[@bubblerose292]

This is so cool! Do you happen to remember the filter name? I'm aquascaping my african clawed frog's tank soon and that one seems neat!

[@TobyCreates]

Hmm… I looked on Amazon and can’t seem to find it unfortunately, but there are plenty of similar filters on the market if you look

[@christinecarignan9758]

Wow... Awesome I love it... What fish are you considering putting in there...???

[@TobyCreates]

Either cpds, dwarf rainbows, or ember tetras

[@christinecarignan9758]

@@TobyCreates... Awesome can't wait to see what you decide...!!! I'm creating a new reptile enclosure right now... Gonna redo my black fluval flex tank just trying to figure out what I want to do...

Hello, I wanted to ask is it actually okay to use super glue In a fish tank?

[@skratchisrandom5596]

Could anyone go more in depth about the clay supplement and the C02 system? Interested in them for my aquarium but googles answers are just where to buy it

[@redrobbosworkshop]

Great scape Toby, do you know which fish are going in there?

[@TobyCreates]

I’ll have to see how the scape grows in, but I’ve been considering cpd’s or dwarf rainbows, or maybe ember tetras

[@epcable]

What is the co2 model you used? Where can you buy it?

[@taral3710]

Hi, I love your set-up! I'm wondering if you could share where you bought the plants online? Thank you!

[@cumberbatchthumbertwate7869]

Which light do you use on your ten gallon setups? Love your videos btw!

[@TobyCreates]

I’m personally using the (now discontinued) NICREW TriColor light on this particular setup. However, the hygger rgb lights are pretty much the same thing

[@MIKoenig44]

Which light are you using?

[@meggrotte4760]

That's a beautiful fish tank. What fish did you decide to put into it?

[@TobyCreates]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5fdoYxuftKAibM is the video where I add the fish

[@mongoman908]

Letssssss goooooo

[@hampton1315]

I saw you in the chat

[@Bucephalandra]

Next time putting a black film on the back of tank would be better. When you want a screen light, only taking the film off and put the screen light. That's it. This way is to open for such potential possibility.

[@stevenhoelderich9490]

Now, put some Angel fish, like (koi, orange, blacklace, gold, Florescent pink, Silver gold marble.) Just, to name a few Or more.

[@Alex-fb6jo]

Do you need CO2 for plants to grow in water?

[@treykaulen783]

Hey bro nice scape what type of wood is that

[@TobyCreates]

Spider wood

[@2ssrs950]

I found out the more exotic my aqua scape the harder it is to do maintenance on it.

[@aryanbc7510]

What are the measurements of the tank?

[@DripBoi-cg8fo]

Where did u get your rocks

[@TobyCreates]

I found them around my house

[@brianbowers2759]

Got a great video idea for ya. I see you use stratum for your substrate. I have herd all the theories about stratum, eco-complete, fluorite, sand and gravel. What I can not seem to find is a side by side comparison of all 5. Without commenting on how you might be the only person in Washington who knows what real science is, I am going to suggest you be the first.

[@brianbowers2759]

After thinking for a second it hit me that sand and gravel do not belong in that test group because they are inert but they could be a separate video using a plant food of your choice (knowing that would be easy green).

[@brianbowers2759]

Okay, you know what... just do stratum and eco-complete. I think that would be fair and is probably a heavily searched topic.

[@turtscreates1972]

@@brianbowers2759 here is one of his older videos when he compared the substrateshttps ://kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4eZY5eVframrZI

[@TobyCreates]

I’m definitely going to redo my plant substrate testing video, just because it was poorly executed and drawn out for way too long. Actually I should probably get started on that video, thanks for the suggestion!

Around $110 if you replicated everything and bought it all new.
