Great to see more female aquascapers popping up which helps grows the hobby. Nice job!

Gorgeous! I love the layout of the aquarium! It turned out absolutely beautiful. 🤗🐠 Which fish do you intend to add? Speaking of rooky mistakes, yesterday, I spent a lot of time setting up a new tank, carefully placing and gluing twigs, but … I totally did not think about watering the wood first, so of course it all floated up once I put the water into the aquarium 😅😱😂😂 Oh, live and learn, right? 🥳

[@Lois.aquadesign]

Thank you so much for your compliments💚 Unfortunately we can’t add livestock to this aquarium cause it will be displayed at a fair, but after that I’m thinking to go for Rasboras 😊 Ahhh yes… I know that pain all too well🙈🙈 that’s why I’m now always glueing my wood to some rocks so it will stay in place.. some say; everyday is a school day😆 Were you able to save your scape?

[@sawittchen]

@@Lois.aquadesign No, my scape was mostly destroyed, oh well, but I was way more amused than feeling angry because it just gives me the opportunity to aqua scape (and practice!) again ;-) I did not glue the sticks to the rocks, which was the biggest mistake I made, however, I saved some photos that I took before I added the water, so the second attempt should be more successful (fingers crossed - LOL!) 🙂 Rasboras are super cute fish! Will you post an update once you add them to your aquarium? Keep up the great work! I absolutely look forward to seeing more aquascaping content from you!

[@Lois.aquadesign]

@@sawittchen I’m glad you were amused by it! I would probably cry first and then laugh about myself😂 but I’m sure you will be successful at your next attempt!💪🏼 I will post an update, it will be in December though after it went to Vivarium, I could add them now and get them out before the fair but I think it will be nearly impossible to get them all out without destroying something 😅 Thank you so much for your support! That truly means a lot😊

Beatifull at all

[@Lois.aquadesign]

Thank you💚

[@pattykake7195]

You are off to a great start…👍🏽

[@Lois.aquadesign]

Thank you!🙏🏼

[@nordicscaper]

Very nice scape! Good job with the video💪🏻

[@Lois.aquadesign]

Thank you! Glad you liked it🤗

[@davidprince8971]

That's an awesome looking scape! However, I would switch out the huge boulder and replace it with a smaller one (like the one in front of it). It's too strong for it to be in the center. Remember the rule of 3rds. By switching it out. It should switch the focal point to the bend in the path in the right-hand 3rd of the tank (where the roots of the wood begin). Anyway, whatever you choose to do. I hope the comp goes well!! Good job!

[@Lois.aquadesign]

First of all thank you for your compliments!🙏🏼and you’re totally right 🙈 I wanted to switch it out initially when I saw this after I took a photo of the hardscape but then I already had glued everything together (also the sand path..) cause I had only a few hours left before the deadline of sending the photos in I just had to work with it🥲 all lessons to be learned I guess😅

[@mannyblackstar]

@@Lois.aquadesignit is okay. Now you know what to do next time. Much love and yes its an amazing looking piece of art you just created ❤ ill make one soon. Thank you

[@alexslepak53]

Love the Yankees hat ❤❤

[@Lois.aquadesign]

Thanks! 🧢

[@onurayhan1706]

Your video was very nice especially it being your first one. Scape looks amazing as well! You should consider keeping the text longer on the screen tho it is little hard to read. Hope to see more greate content from you. Keep up the good work😊

[@Lois.aquadesign]

Thank you so much and for your tip🤗 I noticed indeed that the text was a bit too fast and will keep this in mind for my next video😊 I’m glad you liked it regardless 🙏🏼

Lekker bezig 😊

Dankje 🤗

[@mannyblackstar]

Did you glued the Anubis to the wood or rock? If not then how was it able to not float when you poured water?

[@Lois.aquadesign]

Some I did glue indeed, but when I can shove them a little bit in between something I prefer to do that😊

[@mannyblackstar]

@@Lois.aquadesign thank you lady. Now I will try to make an aquascape like this soon but without wood. Thank you and all the best for the competition. Hope you get the W.

[@Lois.aquadesign]

@@mannyblackstar thank you so much!🙏🏼 good luck with your scape and most of all, enjoy the process 🤗
