As Natural and Easy as it Gets Yard Aquascape Aquarium and Aquarium Garden Updates

[@sevcents]

So glad you updated us on this. Love this super natural aquascape

[@Seapotato-m2j]

That is a gorgeous tank.... Would love to see shrimp in it....

[@pattys_aquatics]

I absolutely love the nature tank and it’s awesome how it has progressed. The red plants look like Ludwigea . Heck if you can get those all to grow you could sell them. I know I would buy some😁. I took some “weeds” out of my yard for my summer tub after getting inspiration from watching you build that tank. The options are endless when we use what Mother Nature provides us.

I've been waiting for an update on that one outside tank with the red plants and green grass. I LOVE that tank. Blows me away that it took one minute to put together. 😍

[@kdr1048]

Lucas, this is seriously amazing! How cool is that! That is the most interesting aquarium to watch! I need to do this (again) 😂 Look how clear the water is! And the plants, wow

[@RoggyGrog]

Really cool to see how it this turned out. Some Florida natives would be cool to see in there if you figure out an overflow.

[@PapaHoffmann]

This is a great video. Thanks Lucas!

i remember years ago, dustin had an outdoor tank and he was running his hand in it and came across a HUGE dead rat. he almost threw up. do you ever get critters in them?

[@LRBaquatics]

Once in awhile during certain nature cycles during part of the year I will get a bunch of caterpillars or grasshoppers time to time. But it’s usually periodic and try to remove ones I can or just let the natural system eat them and they turn to food. No mammals thankfully. I had live raccoons that’s would play in my ponds at the old house but they didn’t do much but muck it up for a few days and maybe snack a fish but was rare for them to do so.

[@sam382]

I totally enjoy this stuff. It's fascinating to me and gets me dreaming about trying my own one day.

[@assiahinarkansas]

I love it! Thanks Lucas

[@ThomasOwl]

I remember! Thanks for the updates!

[@darrylmoore5847]

that was great, thank you for the update.

[@LakeMissoulaAquaticsandPlants]

So cool, most interesting aquaskape I've seen. Can't wait for future updates.

[@monicawg]

🔥🔥🔥 video! Do you seed the outdoor tanks with daphnia, or is it like the field of aquariums: "if you fill it they will come"?

[@LRBaquatics]

I did seed them helps guarantee seeding but also like field of dreams aquariums out there with daphnia and other things.

[@chia_pet7121]

6:55 Do a video with Wesley catching some stuff out of your large ponds and do an experiment with them?

[@terrygorsch386]

I love the natural colors 🐠🤓

[@stanmimura4216]

Awesome 👏🏻

[@chia_pet7121]

2:21 The weed wacker would be much faster at removing those weeds and give you time to do other things?

[@LRBaquatics]

Lol I’m not gonna weed whack my tanks especially in a corner with commercial line that as steel in it, that’s what I use.

[@chia_pet7121]

@@LRBaquatics When I have to weed around pipes and stuff, I have a piece of plywood that I use as a buffer.

[@lukehartley7759]

Haha a tortoise / turtle keeper here in the UK that baby tortoise blew my mind what species is it ?

[@LRBaquatics]

I couldnt believe how tiny he was. I believe its a gopher tortoise

[@chia_pet7121]

9:57 : ( The camera was trying to help you out by focusing on the giant snake dropping down from the tree above?

[@LRBaquatics]

It is FL 😄

[@jonisolis9645]

Could some of that grass be some kind of rush or hair grass?

[@LRBaquatics]

Yes on both. Quite a variety of grasses around here.

[@howardvantassel7557]

Awesome update 🤗

[@jonisolis9645]

What kind of val do you have out there?

[@LRBaquatics]

Corkscrew val in that big tank. I have italian and tiger in other spots.

[@sevcents]

Have you ever kept gouramis...they'd love the blackwater aquarium garden.

[@LRBaquatics]

Just the sparkling gouramis which I bred along time ago.

[@chia_pet7121]

​@@LRBaquaticssparkling gouramis are just over priced regular gouramis?

[@sewerrat7612]

​@@chia_pet7121smaller sheer species of gourami

[@Aquarium_Fantasy-HF]

Lucas do you know the names of does plants in the yard tank 😮

[@LRBaquatics]

Some type of Ludwigia and hair grass is all I can say for certainty

[@Aquarium_Fantasy-HF]

You have so many hidden treasures in your yard. I am jealous 😫

[@kovenant7]

Supreme!

[@rusticitas]

I’d have assumed that fish in open top tanks and ponds would be predated on. (Such as visit by kitty cat 🙂) A former neighbor’s small ponds in eastern PA used to get visits by deer (drinking water, sometimes breaking some of structure/equipment), and herons/egrets passing through (sushi!).

[@LRBaquatics]

You would be surprised. Luckily I have bigger ponds on the property that are natural and get better and easier food from.

[@csharpe5787]

I have opened top Fishtank in the house and two cats they drink the water, but then they never bother the fish.

[@LRBaquatics]

@@csharpe5787 Luckily most cats don’t like water 😄 I’ve never had issues with mine either but they do enjoy the tanks time to time.

15:24 Sara's Pool Boy?

[@LRBaquatics]

[@Tirfing88]

those fire ants must worship the divine obelistk of life that stands before them, rising up to the sky like some sort of ancient artefact
