Today we set up the 33 gallon bonsai tree aquarium!
Thanks For Watching Guys!!! Don't Forget To 👍 The Video!

[@abonsaitree3241]

Finally! I am displayed!

[@NeonTetraAquarist]

A Bonsai Tree Your looking pretty sweet in this scape😉

[@rookieaquarist1612]

I'm speechless. This comment is amazing

[@Mr_Spock512]

You look good Mr. Bonsai.

[@the1killjoy657]

That is a hilarious coincidence that King of DIY and Aquapros both uploaded a bonsai tree video on the same day, thats all it is though, a coincidence

[@dudewholikesdinosaurs-topi1727]

The #1 Kill Joy hi

[@screamstress7]

I don't feel like it needs another tree but rather a nice big bonsai stone or scholar stone that you'll often see in many traditional bonsai scapes along with some type of Japanese stone pagoda, bridge, tower, temple, statues, etc... That would really make this tank pop!

[@caewalker9276]

This is where trends start. Geez even I want to try to do bonsai now!

[@Centricsts]

Cae Walker last night I got an ad for a bonsai tree and i ordered one for my tank I'm starting up, then today I see both of these videos.😂😂

[@caewalker9276]

Told ya.😉

[@NeonTetraAquarist]

My dear fellow aquarists, I would like to point something out here. Mike did NOT copy Joey. If you look closely, they uploaded the same type of video on the same day, so there is *no way* that within only a few hours Mike had set this tank up and filmed the video. It takes time to aquascape a tank, and to film and edit a video adds even more time needed. Unless they collaborated and decided to do the same type of scape at the same time, it was probably a coincidence. Please be less judgmental guys, we all know that were better than this.

[@uhohhotdog]

And Joeys was a nano tank

[@cdawg3801]

Neon Tetra Aquarist 👏👏

[@fisharefriends598]

Not being judgemental but I’ve noticed... a lot of channels not just aquariums do the same thing quiet often... I know in the tech world they scan certain social media and tech social media for chat and what searched on analytics... I suspect the you tube aquarium channels do the same

[@juwairiyahhaque3925]

lol i knoow right?? i JUST watched joey's video (it popped up on my notifications and then i came here to watch this) And of coourse he didn't copy joey, both of them are too awesome and genius' thinks the same way 😅

[@Katseye102]

Neon Tetra Aquarist I admire BOTH aquarists! I find it interesting that all the people I normally watch are doing Bonsai tree designs. Maybe something they saw at the show?? Definitely gives me some ideas! I don't live close enough to go to the aquarium shows sadly. These videos help keep the hobby exciting !

[@scampublic5439]

Honestly, my favorite aquarium youtube channel. I love the effort that goes into each video.

[@jayden230]

I love this channel because he actually makes scapes for reasonably sized tanks. Most people just start with 40 gallons and up. Not everyone can afford that large of a tank so I appreciate the smaller scapes

[@YvonE5]

Love your passion for Aquariums, fish, & videos. Thank you for all the insight, tips, and information regarding Aquarium projects, set ups, and fish. This set up project looks great. Yes one more tree 🌲 would be gr8.

[@joshuaschroader3397]

cant really be a king of DIY copy if you actually watched the video, he has been working on this for about a month now.

[@michaelcabral156]

Could we all just be happy that king of diy and aquapros both posted vids today #startnationalbonsaiday

[@nickjohnson8495]

Been waiting forever for this! Love your uploads so much

[@michaelullman8574]

It is just co-incidence that the King of DIY and Aquapros posted a similar video on the same day. One is a Nano tank, one is not. Regardless, enjoy each for what they are... to learn and expand your knowledge.... p.s. I have been using Finnex products for years. They are awesome and reasonably priced!

[@CJBlack265]

Yay!!! Finally another video from one of my favorite KZbinrs! Love the tank and scape - for what it's worth, I wouldn't put another bonsai on the left, too symmetrical, but you're right it does beg for something. Maybe a couple or three rocks, or a nice piece of driftwood - something lower than the tree, just to rest your eyes on without competing with the tree as a focal point. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with💕👍

[@danae5578]

Gorgeous..totally worth whatever wait it took.

[@matthewatmorephotography7276]

Bonsai trees in aquariums look awesome I gotta try this 😁

[@nesta1027]

I like these setup videos. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

[@abdieljimenez8330]

This is a great idea. New family project.

[@samuelstp5476]

respect for having so much patience to wait more than 1month before adding water!

[@bk2pla]

Looks great! The Nana petite makes it look like a bonsai ficus tree, cool!

Link to the Japanese substrate??

[@Demon_Lord_Coom]

Orange Gaming hi from Melbourne florida 😃

[@fisharefriends598]

Joey is... do all you tubers share the same ideas??

[@sosacub4life]

Looks great! Love the trees. I saw leave it open and get your really large group of schooling fish and it will look great

[@romandasgupta7054]

you make great ideas for tanks. Amazing work, love what you're doing. Lots of love from Canada !!!!

[@everything_nerdy3562]

Beautiful. Just amazing.

[@jpbsc2009]

Eager to see how starting plants dry goes. Have never seen it done. Also agree with the contrast of the Anubius color. I am so glad you are back making videos.

[@huntertrivette5183]

I like it. Lot of work went into this scape and vid. Enjoy the channel!

[@melissab5612]

King of diy just did the exact thing in a nano tank today ...very nice

[@wendyhankin4289]

Trees look awesome. Cant wait to see what fish you put in there

[@kerrymccarthy4226]

This is great !!! I am going to try this myself, thanks for creative video !!

[@FishForThought]

Hey this is awesome! Joey just did one too what a coincidence haha. Both of your trees look amazing and has really inspired me to step up my scape game

[@GerardoRodasR]

Thanks!! this video really got me going the right way! i wanted to start a new tank and to use Glossostigma for the first time, grew it emerged for 3 weeks and just filled the tank this last monday, so far it´s going great!

[@masonnoodles2801]

Thank you so much for your work! Great content!

[@violentcat345]

Love the setup, I really liked the coincidental timing of this upload and Joeys, it's really cool seeing two very different designs based around the idea of a bonsai tree tank. I loved the contrast between the lighter green of the glosso and the darker green of the anubias, so good! I like the idea of putting in the second bonsai but I also really like the sort of meadow effect of the glosso, I'd love to see if there were small red or yellow coloured plants of a similar size to kind of build up a flowering meadow look. Awesome build! :D

[@stubbynugs0709]

You should have more air flow, moisture is important but the mold is growing because of the lack of air flow. put a small fan in there and youd get much better growth as well as less mold.

[@Backcountryhiker]

Why not just, when initially planting, cover all the ground cover with a couple of inches of water?? Wouldn't that take care of the mold??

[@MrZH190]

@@Backcountryhiker any luck? Looking to setup a carpet. Im thinking you are onto something. Im going to try 1 to 2 inches of water

[@rickybell6356]

I came to the comments to see if anyone would mention air flow lol

[@martinl.4696]

Thanks for covering so much ground (time wise) in one video.

[@mbaker1295]

I forgot how much I enjoyed your videos. Glad I re-subscribed

[@RTSstudios]

Looks really nice dude,

[@moigjoid260]

It looks great! So sad that everyone is saying "somebody copied somebody!!". Both scapes are awesome. Good on ya

[@meganlee6685]

I love this build! Not sure if you’ve already done it but you should look into a walstad tank, it would be really cool to see you do one!

[@uberdruck1982]

Excellent video

[@bookmouse770]

incredible tank!

[@mrzipperdipper]

Great tank and video! One of the best plants and aquascaping channels I've seen. If another tree would be daunting, maybe some medium height plants in another area of the tank?

[@webflys]

Nice video - I do use much more soil but your setup looks awesome 👏🏻 I also don’t use filters or c02 so makes sense what you did

[@ainoaguy]

L O V E this setup. Your planted tanks are always gorgeous.

[@erxkeel]

Mike, I support you. You helped me learn how to mix my own dry ferts and save me serious $$$. I'll support you before any of the HUGE KZbin fish people..

[@chrisschamahorn3685]

Looks awesome, all the people who said this is king of diy inspired didn't even watch the video. I do think the second tree would look lit in the tank though.

[@AQUAPROS]

+Chris Schamahorn Thanks! Ya im still on the fence about adding another... We will see how bad my adhd is over the next few weeks... 😁

[@AussieAquatic]

Great video Mike.

[@melissabyers6634]

Very nice!

[@irvinmartinez1587]

Only watched 2 videos of him and I already like it

[@hanzen999]

Great aquascape bro =)

[@bubblerings]

Wow.. Black Gold castings. Can actually get that where I live in Hawaii. Thx!!

[@giveberg14]

great video!

[@calmch9878]

I've seen maybe one or two comments saying he copied the king of diy and about 100 explaining how he didn't copy anyone

[@christopherdebattista8657]

good work..!! 🤟

[@michaelmitchell5909]

looks amazing bro!....wow!.... maybe a few small. pieces of dragonstone around the base of both trees, that's all.... can't wait to see what fish u put in!

[@mystique_tinajones4423]

that nana petite looks awesome, if it stays looking like that its better than moss :)

[@shesellsfish]

Awesome scape

[@fourlegsandatail7882]

Hey Great Video

[@Nathan-xg9vx]

Great Video, great looking tank, please do update videos on this tank as i want to see the growth of this and what your future plans are with it

[@stephenmorgan625]

Would it help the co2 diffusion if the bubbles went up straight into the flow of the sun sun pump?

[@Pekka098]

Wow so cool! I got anubias nana in my tank and they’re doing very well! ;)

[@JoseMartinez-dm8wc]

Yea.. I sure you looked at his nano tank set up by now.. I'm sure that you agree with me... Good job 👌👍👏

[@nataliabirchall9093]

Wow 😍😍😍

[@viperr007]

Have you ever tried the carpeting plant seeds they sell on eBay

[@stereosympathy]

This is a very cool approach to starting a planted tank. Curious as to your NPK nutrient ratio on the water you are adding while immersed. Also wondering if you considered adding a low amount of co2 during this process to enhance plant growth.

[@jackhenderson2562]

This is how I feel growing out my beard

[@ADUAquascaping]

I think a bunch of Neon Gobies would look awesome in that scape! Have you ever owned any? They would even rest on the tree branches.

[@duotone69]

BONSAIIII Daniel san! 🥋🥋

[@nairdeERRDAY]

When doing this method with worm casting and akadama, with glossostigma seeds, do you spread it on top of the akadama or on top of the worm casting before the akadama?

[@Nighthawk9955]

I wish you would do tutorials on using co2 setting it up etc other than that your videos are awesome man keep it up

[@Rolamohamed.]

i like the way you work i learn alot from that vedio .. i think another long plant or tree to cover the wave maker it will be nice 😁 but that was 3 years ago already so that is awesome🥰✌

[@lazoglu8849]

awesome

[@Gizmussy245]

Pretty :)

[@shamorbennett1737]

were did you get the tree it looks so cool I'm getting shrimps in March and I want to find live plants for them they are red cherry shrimps

[@marthanewsome6375]

I'm using akadama to redo my rack, but I'm adding crushed scoria as a base instead of soil. Scoria has a lot of minerals like the soil, but with less mess and it's great for growing beneficial bacteria in and great for plants. I ordered some bonsai to put all my anubias nana on.

[@omaraljanaideh5988]

Does the aqua clear filter come with a sponge for the intake?

[@brandonschooner8298]

Love the vids bro - have to shout out that your stand shakes so much when you were just adding the castings I would add a few 2x4s inside to add stability - but I live in SC and earthquakes are common here - great stuff regardless

[@sirwuds]

Hey man! Just a little question. What’s your long term experience with this substrate, how long does it last. Also how long before I need to add fertz or do you recommend this from the start? About to try this mix. Thanks :)

[@HomnixHD]

What's a good way for new plants in an established aquarium already

[@ChallengetheWild]

Ayyy litttt

[@blaccout6214]

Challenge the Wild wowiiwwoo ayyyyyyyyy

[@aboynameddrew8284]

ayyyyyyy

[@juwairiyahhaque3925]

you're so awesome!

[@jonixvincovillanueva2456]

Challenge the Wild i love your channel download more videos everyday

[@willschumacher2684]

Could u use some gravel like the top fin product instead of the clay to go over the worm castings?

[@hermannblues9733]

This hobby is very expensive, i think Mike is a rich man, great vid:)

[@bkjwunknown445]

Does potting mix work for the dirt layer?

[@burtonboy686]

Hey I've been watching your videos and saw that you use earthworm castings. I'm wondering if you can use seachem flourite black with the earthworm castings? Or would you suggest just using the flourite? Thanks.

[@brooksphotography14]

Love that you didn't use moss for the Bonsai!

[@MissCaylen]

I made very similar trees for my frog tank!

[@SansVertigo]

I had the same problem growing monte carlo! The issue that allows the mold to happen is lack of airflow and too much moisture, when I tried fully wrapped tops it was a problem. Mold never shows up if I leave a gap in the cover at all times and only moistened the substrate each day with spraying (no saturation with water). But once mold starts happening, it's tough to get rid of it without filling the tank.

[@pondguru]

Good to see another upload from you and congratulations on your sub count - it has gone mad since I last checked it. You have to tell me your secret, lol God damn, there are some really silly comments on here and if people checked they would find videos of similar designs from years ago - so what? Not every viewer is subscribed to every aquarium channel - I've had ideas blatantly copied (with no reference to my videos given) and some of the copied videos have had millions of views on those channels but it's all good as long as the idea gets out there. 90% of the people viewing my idea on another channel would probably have never found my original video anyway. I'm sure that even some of the obscure stuff I come up with has been done before somewhere. Good work, man - keep it up.

[@mpraka]

holy shit you are right congrats mike on the 90k

[@pondguru]

Aaarrrgghh...god damn - how did that happen? It was 87k when I made that comment less than 3 days ago.

[@AQUAPROS]

+Pondguru Richardddd! Haha thanks so much for the love, yur support now, and way back when played a big role! 😉

[@pondguru]

No worries man but seriously I notice 2 huge spikes in your subs and views at set times on Socialblade - what's the secret?

[@ADUAquascaping]

Pondguru he's a badass

[@potatosalad6524]

Does the rim have any job for the tank? Like support or whatever or is it just there for a better look?

[@jadonortiz1454]

Hey I love the channel and you made me wanting to put a shrimp in my tank but it disappeared so do you know what could’ve happened to him?

[@Mamamilk3rs]

Does the bamboo do anything for the water chemistry or is it just for looks?

[@iso_kote]

Where did you get the tank from. I want to do something like this but idk where to get my tank.

[@TropicalFishSuccess1]

You think the anubius will get too much light up high? I battle that often and the leaves get covered in green spot algae. Tank looks awesome.

[@donnakatemorgan8963]

Excellent video I wonder what the cause of the mold was Dragon Rock Fish Lemon tetras

[@ankitlila6381]

Do u have any idea if Monte Carlo on rocks would survive in a dry start setup? I have ryuoh rocks....

[@fredleg600]

I think they both copied somebody else lol.

[@pabloalvarez4731]

Specific name of bonsai tree from the site ? I need it to fit in my tank and yours looks just the right sizes

[@richbermudacp]

Did you make that tank or buy it

[@youlolo2]

Great minds think alike.

[@ShahriarFarkhan]

Could the mod have been from your substrate? Has it happened in any other tanks?

[@zacharywetzel8726]

I want to get one of those trees for a 100gl aquarium is there one of a larger size
