Nervousness just means that you are doing something you care about, and you care about the outcome. Very natural ! and great video

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Thanks! I do care a lot about this stuff. Thanks for checking it out!

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Exquisite…saved it to show hubby as something we might eventually use for inspiration in our living room.

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Thank you! It makes me very happy knowing that someone would use my scapes as inspiration.

Thank you Larry!

[@navalmichelle]

Love the bowl base/holder! Where did you get it ? Or was it customized?

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Hi, if you mean the stuff outside the bowl, those are just pieces of Dragon Stone and wood to make it look like roots coming out of the glass bowl. They are not really holding anything together.

[@Jpz305]

This is an AWESOME bowl! Keep it up! What fertilizers are you using?

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Thanks! I was only using Easy Green (all in one ferts) and doing big water changes.

[@MiguelBernardo-v5s]

[@leejojohn2558]

That’s a beautiful scape…❤ What filter did you use?

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

@@leejojohn2558 thank you very much. I used a small Nicrew Internal filter (40gph, you can find it on Amazon for close to $10) I had to modify it a bit to make it a bit shorter, but it worked great.

[@asifali007]

wow love it.. i also made my 5ltr walstad jar..so far things thriving what is the volume of your bowl?

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Thank you! This is about 3.2 gallons which is about 12 liters, and this one is not Walstad, it does have a small filter as at one point I was running CO2 on this bowl too, but not anymore. I do have another Vase that is filter-less on

[@ObieGuppies]

Breathtaking! You are pulled into this underwater moment you don't want to leave. What kind of pump/filtration are you using?

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Thanks Sarah! The filter I am using on this is the Nicrew mini internal filter. Well I had to take part of it out and shorten it and I had it pointed to the glass to reduce the flow a bit and push CO2 around. www.amazon.com/NICREW-Aquarium-Submersible-Adjustable-Waterflow/dp/B09DPHDF8Z

[@Jondes4]

How often do u make water changes?

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

At the moment I only do 30-40% once a week. Thought I noticed a bit of algea so I may need to modify that a bit

[@Jondes4]

What kind of fishes can I add to a shrimp planted bowl?

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Depending on the bowl... if it is under 3gallon I would not add fish, if it is 3 Gallons and it has matured well, I could do a trio of male Endlers (no females). Another option and my favorite are celestial Pearl Danios, a trio would do great there too. You can also try the chili rasbora or blue Axelrodi. One I have not tried but I think would work as well, would be the scarlet badis. If you have kept fish for a while and you can not mind the extra work there is also the pygmy sunfish (it requires live food). All fish will pick on baby shrimp so it is best to let the shrimp colony get established before adding fish. If you are growing shrimp to sell, perhaps if is best to have not fish. Sorry for the long answer!

[@Jondes4]

I love it thank u so much!!!

[@sharonpalmer5509]

What’s kind woods are you using?

[@ennian93]

Hi, what kind of pump are u using for this size of bowl? Appreciate if u can also share the list of plants used in this build. Thank you!

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Hello! The pump I am using a mini Nicrew internal filter. (www.amazon.com/dp/B09DPHDF8Z) and on the plants (from the top of my head) the trees are a mix of MonteCarlo and Riccia, then I used Pearlweed, Juncus Repens, Rotala Rotandifulia, crypt parva, ludwigia mini super red, rotala wallichi, bucephalandra mini brownie, and bucephalandra mini coin. Thanks for watching!!

[@sharonpalmer5509]

What size is the bowl and what kind of roots you use around the the outside bowl and the tree inside bowl?

[@МаринаА-ъ8ч]

Чтобы создать такую красоту в круглом аквариуме, нужно очень хорошо чувствовать пространство. Создать гармоничную картинку в шаре не каждому под силу. У вас это получается великолепно. P.S. Надеюсь, перевод на английский будет относительно сносным. 🤷

[@Random.Adventures.]

do you ever add snails and do snails every leave the tank?

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Yes I usually add some ramshorns after the first water change. It help with the cycle. Plants have ponds snails so those sneak in, and those are usually the only ones I find out of the tank.

[@Jondes4]

What glue do you use to join the rocks?

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Liquid Cyanoacrylate glue (Gorilla super glue) with pieces of paper towel to glue the rocks together, and Loctite clear silicone if I need to glue to the glass.

[@Jondes4]

What can I use to glue rocks to the glass of the fish tank?

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

@@Jondes4 100% clear silicone. Whenever I am doing something small I use Loctite Clear Silicone (www.amazon.com/Loctite-Silicone-Waterproof-2-7-Ounce-908570/dp/B0002BBX3U) if it is bigger project then I use GE Silicone 1 clear (no additives)

What is coarse punch

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

@@sharonpalmer5509 sorry maybe I wrote it incorrectly, it is coarse sponge

[@DIYFunVentures]

how do u care for this? one time use? i have couple small 1 gallon bowl i have scaped. but now its a pain in the behind to clean them.

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Bowls are difficult in general, cleaning the glass is a pain, but melamine sponges are live savers . I kept that for 11 months (I had to move before it was a year old) I had to trim plants every other week and water changes every week, it didn't really take that long. The light was balanced enough that algae was not really an issue. After I moved I just let it go wild and I was using it to grow some CPD fry. I do want to make another forest bowl-scape so maybe soon there will be another video

[@DIYFunVentures]

@@TheNanoAquariumGuy Thank you for the reply. Looks beautiful. I just see myself trying to clean the glass and knocking everything over. :)
