EP01 - 180cm NATURE AQUARIUM - Esther's Garden

[@FAAOAquascaping]

Full setup in the video's description! I had a few issues with my microphone during the planting and further explanations about plant positioning, so I had to change the video sequence. This will be the first of a few videos that I will publish about Esther's Garden. Please feel welcome to share in your social media. I will really appreciate that support because will allow to reach more people and help to grow the channel! I hope you enjoy it. Cheers!

Ein tolles Aquarium, ein Musterbeispiel für das "Natur-Aquarium"! Im Hintergrund das dschungelartige Dickicht mit ausreichend Rückzugmöglichkeiten für die Tiere und im Vordergrund der freie Schwimmraum, in dem sich die Fische austoben können .. einfach nur top!! Durch das Verwenden von vielen Wurzeln und "einfachen" Aquarienpflanzen lässt sich dieses Layout auch über Jahre ohne riesigen Aufwand erhalten.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Well done sir! :) Excellent work and the showroom looks stunning!

[@FAAOAquascaping]

Lot of work but in the end all efforts paid off! 💪

[@davidcooper9432]

Congrats on a spectacular tank Filipe.

[@clausthornemadsen8605]

Great to have you back - we missed your brilliant videos

[@BURAIANANDRESRAMOS]

Glad you are back!!! Been waiting for your videos:)))

[@FAAOAquascaping]

More videos coming! 😉

[@aquariumplantman]

Nice to see you getting out and about snd thanks for showcasing what’s going on with the beautiful scapes in Esther’s garden. 🌿

[@FAAOAquascaping]

The other ones will be covered too. 😉

[@priyankardas2668]

As an ardent follower of yours, this is the best aquascape I have seen. Perfect and complete. This one and riverstream tank are very close to my heart. My aquascaping journey wouldn't be complete without your inspiration and teaching. Feeling inspired and emotional master Filipe.

[@FAAOAquascaping]

They are similar in plant choice. So I expect something similar but in island layout. 😉

[@priyankardas2668]

@@FAAOAquascaping Sir, I was amazed to see even the right and left sides were different. Right side the wood was extending with bigger carpet area. And in the left side there was the rock with lesser carpet area and more of scaper's twigs in front. Really amazing. And it is more fun for me to watch and note the details ☺️

[@mikeinca3762]

WOW! Incredible Filipe! Esthers Garden is an amazing place! The setup really pops when the surrounding room is dark! The scape all comes together with the design and the schooling fish. Awesome video! Thank you!

[@FAAOAquascaping]

At dark we don't have distracting points since we don't have any background in the tank. We can see clearly the layout and fish will pop up. I'm pretty sure this tank as a long way to run and get much, much better.

[@priyankardas2668]

I came back to just comment that this layout looks so amazing, I watch this video again and again!! ☺️😍

[@pablomartinez3380]

Muito bom cara satisfação

[@nelsonsirait]

Hi from Indonesia..

[@paulus1412]

Is just plain Dutch tapwater used in the tanks or RO water for example?

[@FAAOAquascaping]

I just use Dutch tap water at Aquaflora.

[@paulus1412]

@@FAAOAquascaping thx :)

[@Necrosias]

Looks great! But one question: What is that for a base cabinet, where the tank stands on?

[@FAAOAquascaping]

You mean between tank and cabinet?

[@Necrosias]

@@FAAOAquascaping I mean the whole cabinet 😁

[@FAAOAquascaping]

It was made specially for transport, stainless steel reinforced inside so we can use a forklift, wood panels with car painting. Between tank and cabinet we have used a mat to make it more stable. A normal tank at home doesn't need that much because it doesn't go anywhere!

[@Necrosias]

That is true. But i am very interested in such things, because there arent many Infos about specialized cabinets. Thx a lot for the information 👍👍

[@FAAOAquascaping]

@@Necrosias if it was made to stay in place, just a normal wood cabinet would be enough. Just need to be reinforced on the back and it's perfectly fine. We have moved a few tanks like that for exhibitions, instead to placing the forklift in the bottom, we had to use some extra thick wood underneath the top base of cabinet and it was ready to go. A cabinet is a cabinet... Since you don't try to move it from place with tank on it, all aquarium cabinets are perfectly fine, eve the most simple ones.

[@Z4U3398]

I have great news too. This: You, Sir are looking in great shape. Fit. And rocking that cool T-shirt! Your aquascape? Ethereal... :^)

[@FAAOAquascaping]

The lockdown caused some issues, but still going strong! 💪😁

[@skysurfer79]

Beautiful tanks indeed but recently we all see this huge tanks on you tube. "Maybe" its a marketing strategy maybe who's in this businnes forgot that the 90% of the aquarist here own simply something smaller. Just a personal opinion... but all beautiful tanks!

[@FAAOAquascaping]

I understand your point of view, in the gallery we have tanks from 60cm to 300cm with different purposes and styles. This is just one of them!
