What a great video! Beautiful scape, interesting insights and such a friendly conversation. Thank you to both of you for letting us be part of this. Good luck in the IAPLC, Tom!

[@Mono-tr5hw]

Thanks for sharing Tom’s aquascape in live and his own! I didn’t know he has beard 😂. I love his calm scape so much.❤

[@GDiipa]

Go Tom! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😃😃😃😃😃😃 He is so passionate about Aquascape, so hard working and so creative!

[@AquariumGardensAquascaping]

Beautiful and unique scape Tom 👏 enjoyed the video guys!

[@chelmsford6774]

Just love this interview watched it a few times. Love this scape.

[@alanmorrison470]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I love how serious about it you both are and how much you’re into it.

[@Knutahh]

Beautiful tank!

[@thecoinjar]

outstanding scape. I've just gone through a dark start with my 60p iwagumi-themed scape. Going forward I will continue to use a dark start as I have not had any issues with algae the tank cycled really quick and my pearl danios love it. As with any good setup, patience is a virtue and will pay off in the end. Thank you George for all your inspiration!

[@martinredfern3171]

Great video George, stunning scape , hope he does well in the IAPC

[@Ankescapes]

Absolutely beautiful fish choice, and a great scape. Thanks for sharing

[@boebender]

Gorgeous!!!!✨✨✨Thank you!!!!

[@chelmsford6774]

Lovely to sit in on an IAPLC competition tank thanks, gentlemen. Your tank looks good Tom.

[@kyletyson3440]

What an INCREDIBLE scape! Truly amazing 😍 Tom, please just have a look at the rules on the IAPLC contest. If I'm not mistaken you can't show full images of your tank until after the results have been given. You may be disqualified for this

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

It’s ok. I’ve had full tank photos published in magazines prior to results with no issue. Tom was also concerned and I put his mind to rest.

[@kyletyson3440]

@@GeorgeFarmerStudios oh awesome! I can't wait to see how he does. I wish him all the luck in the world 😁😁

[@Habits1986]

IAPLC representatives definitely reminded about that last year during the rankings live stream. I guess you will not be disqualified, but you might be ranked lower than what you deserve because of this.

[@glasscanvasart5273]

They seem to limit people who publish their works from making the top 100 (used to be top 127), but this could just be a selection bias.

[@IsaacDS123]

love it, beautiful, wish you covered that cut section of wood with moss though..

[@FagnerAccordiAquarismo]

Nice visual! Very natural, like a forest sank.

[@courtneykeeps]

It looks great, Tom! I'm sure it will do really well.

[@garyjones4492]

I really enjoyed this video, like the scape very much. Well done to you both!

[@edwardpinner]

A great discussion. Very insightful. Thank you.

[@alanpaiotta2744]

Beautiful......what moss is it????

[@williammcdowell6257]

Thanks George, great content. Lovely tank great chat and photography. The referenced Dreamed Amazon Landscape IAPLC cotest 2204 was an exceptional example of a naturalistic aquarium, one which, with perhaps a few modest tweaks, would be the sort of set-up which could be maintained for years. Pearling, in my opinion is, yes, an indication of healthy plants, but pearling generally doesn't have to be vigorous, or steady, my healthiest tanks have only had pearling lightly towards the end of the photo-period not within minutes of the lights coming on. Plats that are constantly fizzing demand lots of trace elements and lots and lots of pruning. There are exceptions however, in my limited experience, especially some red plants, for example Rotala Macrandra, it seems to need intense light and high CO2 levels for at least 8 hours a day to grow lush and healthy. The long-term challenge then, especially in the summer with higher Nitrate levels in my tap water, is to make sure green filament algae doesn't become problematic and make sure CO2 levels are high enough but not too high to affect fish health, again an issue in summer if temperatures push towards 30 degrees centigrade.

Beautiful, thanks for sharing!

[@mayukhbera]

Such a lovely video!

[@darrenderousse4804]

Amazing scape! Would love to recreate this! I bet Tom was hoping you wouldn’t notice the straight cuts on the redmoor root 😂 I hope this does well in the iaplc! Keep up the great content George!

[@aquascapeangelfish]

Beautiful scape !

[@joannecummins5265]

This scape is amazing, the Chocolate Gourami's gorgeous... I hope you do really well in the IAPLC,,,

[@ricomon35]

It is a very lovely tank build. But it is missing a focal point, and the ambiguously bright background and lighting, severely detracts from the design, and further points out "no focal point"

[@REscapes]

Lovely video 💚

[@karkoor]

Is it allowed to show current iaplc scapes now ? I need a certain answer please ! Until last year It was not allowed

[@edwardpinner]

Is the weeping moss tied or glued?

[@glasscanvasart5273]

Just dawned on me how this layout strongly resembles Mashashi Ono’s 2022 IAPLC layout.

[@florentincioaba7989]

Bravo from Romania

[@VixinatorsVideos]

[@theseaworldd]
