Waar heb je deze vaas gekocht?

[@MJAquascaping]

@@reptidan Tuincentrum het Oosten in Aalsmeer 😊👍🏻

[@brettpid6416]

the links for the tank don't show me the vase?

[@MJAquascaping]

@@brettpid6416 I don’t have a link for the vase sorry, I just bought it at a local shop

[@erwin7072]

Welke type lamp heb je precies gebruikt MJ?

[@streettrash4220]

I love all your high tech tanks, but these low tech no filter set ups are my favorite. I feel like they are much more of a conversation piece for folks with no experience. Good way to bring in new hobbyists.

[@MJAquascaping]

I totally agree😊

[@mettugran]

i feel like the only conversation pieces for none hobbyists are red and blue big fish. at which point they will say, these aren’t even gold fish. either way, they will enjoy tapping on the glass and walking away.

[@randyjones1618]

FINALLY!!! lol. Now THAT'S a beautiful planted vase. Nobody is doing these. At least not well. Stunning and inspirational. I have wanted to do one of these for quite a while now. Great job Mark........MORE!!!!! lol

[@MJAquascaping]

Thanks so much 😊

[@naturesounds...12]

It's amazing, wish everyone who sees this comment good health and happiness

[@Paul-li9hq]

That vase is quite incredible. You've done a fantastic job there. Try the yellow shrimp. The brighter and more banana yellow, the better: they show up against absolutely any surface/background (unless you have a pale beige coloured substrate). I love mine: they are easily visible from a couple of metres away: much more so than the blues and reds in my other tanks...

[@fredk4136]

Wow, just amazingly beautiful

[@IndoorEcosystem]

These vases are really cool. I really like this build. I currently have one a slightly smaller covering a root over rock ficus to keep the humidity up so it stimulates ariel roots.

[@tomelliottguitartutor1325]

This is awesome Mark, I am now on the hunt for something similar, such a beautiful and simple way to aquascape

[@dantreuthart9146]

I like how you added information on the plants you used such as genus, species, origin, etc

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Just gorgeous!

[@REscapes]

I LOVE IT! I loved the first version of the vase so it's so nice to see the vase 2.0! It looks even better 😍

[@MJAquascaping]

Glad you like it!

[@ason250]

Beautiful as always 👍😊 Just made my 10L vase a week ago, inspired by your first vase 😀.

[@lukaszwisniewski5964]

This vase aquarium is amazing. I’m inspired! I’m looking forward for an update how it looks after another couple of weeks. Cheers 🙂

[@miniandy82]

Your original vase vid was my favourite until now, thanks for doing another vase - they look so good 👍

[@aaronk4310]

Fantasticly stunning. Inspiring and exquisitely done. The ideas never stop. Love your channel.

[@joren70]

One of the best vase scapes I have ever seen. Heel mooi!

[@coronis03]

No matter which of your videos I watch, I always learn something from you. You are a natural and generous teacher, thank you for sharing all of this beauty with your passion. Appreciated! Stunning work.

[@scapeyourdream]

Looks beautiful

[@Linoleum82]

Great timing. I bought myself a vase similar to yours (29cm wide, 35 tall) a few weeks ago with the same idea in mind. Should be getting the rest of my hardscape and plants tomorrow. Can't wait to get started.

[@maryglover8283]

So beautiful and inspiring! Thank you. 😃

[@haitch04]

Lovely job, looks amazing, hopefully we'll get to see it as it grows.

Mooi gedaan jonge👍 altijd leuk om jouw filmpjes te zien om inspiratie op te doen. Ga zo door⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@criteschristine]

I was so excited to see your New vase scape video! I was also amazed at the side of it when you appear next to it in the video. There is something magical about the circular scape! Love the plants you chose for this scape!

[@MJAquascaping]

Thank you Christine!

[@freddyherman5042]

I was literally just looking at vase aquariums yesterday to set one up, ill take this upload as a sign to buy one! Thanks for the great content sir!

Thank you! 😊

[@petpot1962]

That's stunning !!! Nice little self contained ecosystem

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Thank you for including plant lists!

[@joaquinc.bermell-scorciato2487]

Jjjj he encontrado a mi alma gemela, muchas gracias, enhorabuena, lo haces muy bien. Yo cambiaria el otocinclus por un zorro volador. Y aquí necesitamos un microcalentador también jjj perfecto hermano. Salud

[@itsZdan]

a little trick i do after i apply the glue a second time is grind up a bit of aquarium soil i might have left over and use it to cover the whiteness of the cotton pad, works marvels

[@MJAquascaping]

Great tip!

[@danielearl9788]

Amazing vase, definitely need to redo my mini vase now...

[@MrCarson66]

Fantastic video most appreciated

[@BigYi313]

Thanks man, it's very inspiring.

[@mealee3694]

Lovely setup ♥️

[@xsonnynx]

Hi, TYVM, I'm a fan of your work.

[@MissChelle]

Instead of baking soda, I use fine sand. Works great & looks good too. Also, I Plug my ‘holes’ with black felt. Love this project ❤️🇦🇺

[@fredericpeltier4349]

Magnifique

Love these

[@2019freddie]

Awesome buddy, some great ideas here.

[@thomassiebenburgen6464]

thanks for the video

[@alexandralundqvist9654]

This is one of my favorites. I did my own vase after your first video and have been doing both vases and bowls since. Really enjoy them. Wish I could get hold of the same hardscape as you, but we don’t really have that much to choose from from where I’m from unfortunately.

[@MJAquascaping]

Bummer... where are you located?

[@markfranklin8831]

So cool I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time now.😎👍✌️🤘💯

[@mb9045]

Thanks for watching? Thanks for showing your knowledge. Love to see you creating your unique scapes. The idea with a vase was in my mind too. But i think, my wife will say its too much. We have a little 57 liter tank. I would love to build a low tec tank.... Good job👌🏼

[@normang3579]

Like vases and flowers. 🙂

[@lessharkboy]

That's really beautiful, just subscribed so I will be binge watching your videos!

My mother loves these kinds of scapes, I'm definitely showing her this video to persuade her to let me fill the house with similar ones lol

[@BigBoy_Aquascape]

Wow nice scape 💚

Beautiful 👌🏻Loved it ❤from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@davidhafner3855]

I love your Videos and your narration. Your voice has a calming effect on me Thanks very much Sincerely Dave

[@9catlover]

i have an extra large brandy glass. definitely going to try a no filter tank. very excited

[@ibrahimsheikh7050]

Awesome❤

[@tombarb2864]

Very nice. It will take away your stress when you view it. I’m going to go to our local IKEA here in San Diego to look for a vase. If they don’t have anything, I can always jump across the border and to go to Mexico (15 miles from here) to find something. I have a perfect spot for a tank like this in the living room. Thanks MJ, you are a motivator 🙂

[@MJAquascaping]

Sounds great! Have fun setting it up!

[@joefav76]

Well done😄

[@LonniesWorld007]

Thanks so much for the us links !

[@joenic4303]

I made one close to this size inspired by your original video, and it's my favorite. I have a 5 watt hiro light and it works great.

[@MJAquascaping]

That is awesome!

[@camillewilkerson6325]

[@MJAquascaping]

Thank you! 😊

[@Urodoc2011]

Stunning is the word.. Trick in working with vase or bowl is the magnifying effect ..out of nowhere some plants, wood or stone stands out magnified.. Small suggestion to use some sponge or hob filter because of maintenance difficulties

[@BigShrimpin416]

I’ve never heard of that baking soda trick! Interesting!

[@Iainlove1]

I have a similar size vase and I did a waterfall paladarium with dragon stone various mosses and a palor palm. Need to find another one. Love your stuff.

[@marijnoostland]

Ziet er goed uit man😁

[@hitlersmissingtesticle69]

Been looking for new aquatic KZbinrs other than md fish tanks, Serpadesigns, and green aqua.. I think you could be the 4th one on my watch list now, subscribed:)

[@ReidyReid]

Great setup, I’m thinking of doing something like this but a bit smaller just to put on my desk

[@tulipvalley111]

Very calming to watch ❤ I was wondering about your accent then I noticed the “soda box”

[@oliverjanssen]

I would love to see a video in the future of how you clean this jar and tips.

Beautiful vase 🤩 You should do a test with philips wiz bulb and the nano tank light. 😊

[@xiaomitakahara188]

Good idea would be to place that kind of vase on rotating base to admire underwater world from any side.

[@afishhotel]

Great video and I really like to have it 🙏

[@hummingbird4129]

I think two or three blue shrimp would look amazing in this setup

[@hydra7360]

I love this so much, I am very much inspired! Do you need to do a water change for a tank like this?

[@BigShrimpin416]

Nice vase! I can’t find large bowls or vases like that anywhere that have thick enough glass!

[@sergeiz.5815]

You can also put some electrical tape on light bulb area to block light if to bright or floating plants.

[@Maerchenlaenderin]

i love low tech tanks (maybe because I am too chicken to actually try a CO2-system) and I really enjoy your videos on them! Hope you don't mind, but I am stealing some ideas here and there :P And mow I kinda want to do a vase like that... It's so beautiful!

[@jaspervelde]

Ik heb hetzelfde formaat vaas ingericht. Was heel benieuwd naar de naam van de algeneters die je in de tank hebt. Deze is erg tof geworden!!

[@MJAquascaping]

Hey! De algeneters zijn Otocinclus

[@manueldasilva3002]

magnifique good joob

[@waterlover]

You made me moss having a vase. Love what you did with everything , looks so beautiful. What about some Taiwanese b shrimp some red with white would so pop in that tank. Feed those rasboras some live food and the color will start to get intense red . Worked for me

[@MJAquascaping]

I'm too scared to keep those Taiwan bee shrimp 😁

Wow thats a huge vase. I was planning to do something similar I just need to find bigger vase than the 4LTR vase I currently have. PS I was supporting Netherlands last night and was really hoping we can meet you in semifinals. That would be amazing game...

[@MJAquascaping]

Honestly I'm not a big fan of football... I did watch the game last night, but that was just sad 😅

[@IMaqua]

@@MJAquascaping I don't follow club football much but national team is something different, I lost my voice last night haha. NED-ARG game was really sad; the game but also all the other extra activities happening. Cheers

[@timieboy15]

Man! This is epic! Such a nice scape in a vase! Probably gonna try this to 🙌

[@MJAquascaping]

Go for it!

[@Viciousnun]

This was great! As someone looking to get into the hobby, do you have how-to videos for fish acclimating, plant “planting”, etc?

[@MJAquascaping]

I don't really have separate videos in those topics. I acclimate fish preferably by floating the bag in the aquarium for 30 minutes, after that I will open the bag, and every few minutes I add a little bit of tank water to the bag. 30 minutes later I will release the fish. Now some people don't like to add ''shop water'' to the tank, but I trust my local shop, so its fine. For planting you definitely want to get some tweezers. I have a small one for delicate tissue culture plants, and a larger one for bigger potted plants.
