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.

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

[@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 😊

[@robertgilkerson8517]

Such a cool set up

[@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.

[@xiaomitakahara188]

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

[@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!

[@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...

[@dantreuthart9146]

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

[@pretchstudio]

That is so perfect 👌 😍 ❤ 💖 ♥

[@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 ❤️🇦🇺

[@geraldoyo1]

I love your vase concept, it looks so elegant. I think I will recommend this to my sister.

[@MJAquascaping]

Thank you! 😊

[@greeneyedpixie2]

wow man, that's stunning!

[@hoomanAdnan]

Beautiful 👌🏻Loved it ❤from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@BigShrimpin416]

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

[@scapeyourdream]

Looks beautiful

[@miniandy82]

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

[@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!

[@mikefisher4834]

Black Phantom Tetras would look amazing in this set up They’re quite a bit bigger than chili rasboras but they’re still small enough to live in this tank

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

"I'm excited. I hope you are, too!" Funny, how people like us get excited about decorating a vase :)

[@raybro2216]

Stunning MJ. Absolutly stunning.

[@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 🙂

[@petpot1962]

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

[@davidhafner3855]

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

[@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

[@hummingbird4129]

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

[@tulipvalley111]

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

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Thank you for including plant lists!

[@thomassiebenburgen6464]

thanks for the video

[@joren70]

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

[@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.

[@xsonnynx]

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

[@somevids4187]

I am lower than a newbie, I don't know anything, but Father Fish said that algae start to form if the dirt in the substrate is not covered by a couple of inches of sand so that it is anaerobic. Once the nutrients start flowing up into the water, it produces algae.

[@maryglover8283]

So beautiful and inspiring! Thank you. 😃

[@ILIKEUALOT]

Soo Beautiful

[@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?

[@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!

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

At 18:18 a rasbora stares at a daphnia in thought. Like it knows it should eat the daphnia but also knows the daphnia is bigger than its own head.

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...

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

@@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

Maybe you should ask horizon what they're feeding their chili rasbora. I've had mine 2 months and they don't have anything like that kind of color.

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

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