I expected you to explain 1. What sand what stones... 2. How and why put them 3.why the grass above the black sand Etc ect ect (But beautiful )

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Hi! Thanks!! 1. Dragon stone and river sand 2.I do not understand the question. 3. Black sand is not a sand. It's aquarium soil (substrate) The plants are planted in it.

[@sybil9113]

@@vladimirstojanovic3603 I meant what kind of stones and sands or substrate(...) If you had explained EVERYTHING about the creation of your beautiful aquarium, it could have been The best! i mean ALL the aspect, all the steps... surely it could be useful for many people that, ( like me) want to begin and dont know almost anything ( or just a little like me). Have you ever thought about making a TUTORIAL ? Perhaps your aesthetic taste and artistic ability could grow people's ability... ( and sorry for my english)

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

This is an old video (my start on youtube). At the time, I wasn't really experienced with aquascaping .. I'm not an expert now, but I know a little more than I did then. So my recording, editing and video-making experience was really bad back then. Anyway... Hardscape is dragon stone and river sand,substrate is tropica aquarium soil.

Just curious why would you use a spray bottle on the plants if you're going to fill it up with water? Beautiful job btw

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Make sure you're documenting your process with diatoms like you did with your set up. You could make a really helpful video showcasing your dilemma and how you solved it/what problems presented themselves.

[@jonasbergkvist1464]

Really nice! I'm thinking of starting my own aquascape soon. I have a question though - when you build like this, do you have a support under the glass bottom? I can see that the weight is alot because of the sand and rocks. When i start my own tank i want to be sure the glass bottom don't breake....

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Tnx! Yes I have support under the glass bottom.

[@Pesanrei]

nice! That rock is sold by kilograms, could you tell me how much do I have to buy for the same job? my aquarium measures 80x30 cm. Thanks

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Around 8 kg, in this setup i use 10 kg. But it all depends on the shape of the stone. Not every piece of stone is the same,some have more holes on themselves some less.

How do you keep the soil from not falling into the sand in the long term? I know you can use pieces of corrugated plastic to hold the banked substrate up. But what about the cracks in the rocks? I did this in my scape but the soil fell thru the cracks and ended up covering alot of the bottom and then the banked substrate fell with it. Didnt ruin it but made a total mess that I cant repair. I'm about to do a total rescape.

[@vladimirstojanovic3603]

Hi! I just fill the cracks with smaller stones. Or u can use filter floss to fill the cracks.
