You WILL NOT believe how old this aquascape is!

[@vinniejudilla3921]

This scape is the one I've been most excited to see an update on. The plant choice was spot on for the layout of the hardscape. Thanks so much for the beautiful videos and the very useful info and great inspiration.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@janlieskovsky2549]

Excellent work, George! It has grown in astonishingly well. Must be doing it right! I love the mixture of carpeting plants, makes the plants look as if they'd interweaved in nature rather than the uniform, controlled setting. The hydrocotyle is probably my favourite plant in the setup as it breaks up the texture and stands out nicely. This is a kind of scape that I dream of one day having. As far as fish suggestions go I would like to see in this tank something like glowlight tetra (Hemigrammus erythrozonus) - their near transparent bodies contrasted by the fiery-red glow from the inside. And it wouldn't be me not to mention my favourite golden pencilfish (Nannostomus beckfordi) too. Keep on scaping!

[@Stuartone7]

I've been waiting for this update on this tank. It looks amazing in such a short period of time. Well done guys

[@AyeeBroTV]

The music was great George and that tank is flawless

[@mjrpwn98]

Stunning tank, very lush absolutely love it

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@BentleyPascoe]

Stunning tank. I love the pogostemon, it reminds my of Limnophilia Aromatica, but far more widespread leaves like a little tree. Thanks for sharing this George!

[@btdarterschannel112]

George, that is such a beautiful aquascape!! Very well done! I think some Kitty Cat Tetras would look nice in there. Thanks for the video!

[@AquaTVChannel]

The setup is very simple but beautiful

[@colinhollywood8254]

A great 'scape and doing really well George!

[@davidfieldman8723]

Great aquascape George thanks to your videos I have three great aquascapes in my living room thanks

[@cichlidscape]

Great edit george! Love seeing the tanks you work on👍🏻 my first planted tank is looking good! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@unitedtanksofamerica4095]

Very well done George, excellent growth and color is such a short time!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks so much

[@matthewsmith22]

What an amazing scape. Just set up a tiny planted scape, I've planted a lot of eleocharis parvula, but looking at this I really enjoyed the mixed carpet so I've just ordered some monte carlo. Thanks for the idea George!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@Twostrokesmoke]

i think youre the best aquarium channel on youtube

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@soligamer179]

awesome my friend George

[@saifal-badri]

stunning little tank!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@FXOptions007]

Hi George, chili rasbora would look great in that tank. Very nice tank and video! Keep up the great work!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Brad!

[@greenecospace]

the tank worked perfect and stable ...nice work man !

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@MuyeenAnsar]

WOW! in ONE month.. great job...

[@bumbly612]

Another beautiful aquascape George 💖

[@Nathan-gq1hr]

Welcome back George we have missed you

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏 missed you too!

[@Nathan-gq1hr]

I would like to ask one question. I know you're in the UK, but would you recommend lily pipes? The canister I am using is 5/8" roughly 17mm. Thank you again for doing what you do.

[@Mapantz1]

Fantastic work! 4 week plant growth is unreal!! I can see the delight in your face at the beginning of the video. :-) I've just bought an Eheim Pro 3e 600T - Loving that filter at the moment, and no more titanium heater in the tank. Yay! Looking forward to your next videos already. Fish wise: I've just ordered a bunch of Glowlight Danio's - I chose Danio's because they seem to enjoy high-flow tank setup's, due to where they are found in the wild. There are some amazing species of Danio out there, might be worth looking at those.

[@tomtester4883]

Looks brilliant. Hope my tank grows in that quickly!

[@FECtetra1918]

I don't think I've seen such a mature aquascape within just 4 weeks. That is really impressive!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@JohnlynHD]

Beautiful tank. Great video.

[@flappinganimal]

Beautiful tank. Looks so natural. Looking healthy yourself too George 😊

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks mate

[@MJAquascaping]

Missed seeing your videos George! I’d go with a group of P. Simulans!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@giveberg14]

I really love your tank, great job.

[@jasonmaslen3266]

Oh Yoda, "Am I lit up ok", bahahahahaha that comment and the flick of your hair had me in stitches.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

😂

[@TankTested]

The tank looks great! I love the lush look and the variety of textures.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks! Big fan of your videos 🙏

[@lindaford8513]

Hello George, It seems I am running a bit late on your videos, but I still love watching them! I am an X- fishkeeper. I retired and here I am again. THINGS HAVE CHANGED DRASTICALLY, but for the better. If by chance, you are still doing scapes, could you or a friend tell me The ratio on the CO2, the fog apparatus and probably all the other techniques used to produce the Marvelous Tank you created? I am having a bit of trouble understanding some of your words and please dont take that wrong. You would need an interpreter to grasp my accent!! It is soooooo yankeefide. Love your work!!

[@tylersherwood7074]

It's beautiful... thanks for the inspiration. I'm setting up my 10 gallon (37.85 liter) tank next week. I'm on too much of a budget to use real plants, but I still took inspiration from you.

[@mercury00169]

Just check the forums on the net, find some local hobbyists, I'm sure you can get some easy plants real cheap!. Someone may even give them away after trimming their own tanks. Get some java fern, java moss, a few other easy plants and you got yourself a low tech tank! You don't even need fancy substrate or fertilizers for this :)

[@soak785]

Tyler Sherwood Even a guppy grass which is cheap would be nice. .it grows like crazy. .good luck

[@sorscha]

Really try to get some real plants in there! If you can source some cheap cuttings as suggested, you can establish a right proper ecosystem. So much easier to stabilise your tank levels if you can use real plants, I think, but I'm no expert.

[@jamieouthere]

George you and you're mate Stephen have made a beautiful scape could I suggest Threadfin Rainbowfish as the water is clear and good water flow and get's frequent water change. They are a small rainbow fish.

[@3xaqua247]

Awesome tank George! I just made half restart in one of my tanks ,but this one loooooooooks great after 4 weeks.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@M0DQO-BeachMobileDx]

Chilli Rasboras would look amazing, especially in a big group of 20-30! Great scape.. Amazing!

[@PaulBissekerBushcraft]

Hi, George. When you do the water change, is the new water heated before adding to the tank? or tap temperature? Thanks Paul. (new to this)

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Yes, best to equalise water temperature otherwise it can distress the livestock 👍

[@PaulBissekerBushcraft]

George Farmer Thanks 👍

[@beatap6250]

Very nice scape😋

[@austenwhitcher1]

so pumped for a new video, had to give it a thumbs up before it started. On a side note, I heard the twinstar nano was useless. Have you noticed a difference in algae growth while using it? Why not just opt for a traditional UV sterilizer?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

I like the bubbles and the extra o2!

[@glenj4908]

Beautiful aquarium! How come all the in/out tubes and co2 diffuser are in the front sides as opposed to the back sides where they would be more hidden?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

If they were at back they’d blow the tall stems over

[@seangriffiths9163]

Incredible how that's grown so well. I think for fish you need the emperor tetra. Good size and some lovely colouring but not to bold to take all the attention when you first look at the tank, with that lush planted background. 👌

[@sorscha]

Hi George, your mate Steven is lucky to have a friend like you to create such a great scape! I've never built an aquascape tank before and I haven't run an aquarium in a good 12 years or more. I'm curious about the lack of glass covers on your tanks. Is there a specific reason for this, apart from hard scape breaking the surface? How does it go with evaporation and "enthusiastic" fish who might leap out?

[@joet6494]

Such nice green scape!

[@nickh9294]

Hi George, again a stunning tank that you've shown us. Amazing plantgrowth and that in just 4 weeks! Just wondering, do you plan to make an update on the 1200litre that you've rescaped a few months ago? I would really appreciate it! Greetings from Holland

[@pardeepgill688]

hey george, stunning growth. Fish Wise, How about a nice big group of Pearl Gourami. Nice impactful fish that have great personalities. Dont Mind HighFlow. And they would interact well with the Scape, they way they like to touch everything with their feelers. And then some nice dither tetras I am going to be adding them to mine this week hopefully.

[@stevehickling7435]

Just found you on yt and glad I did. Great work there. That would look great with some copper rasboras.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Steve!

[@spamdex1]

Another awesome aquascape and video! In all your tanks you have shrimp and the glass filter inflow’s, do you ever end up with dead shrimp in your filter?

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

Hi George. How are you?....It is great to see another one of your awesome videos. Wow, that aquarium is stunningly beautiful, and what amazing progress in only 4 weeks. I love it. Great job, fantastic. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video, very well detailed and full of beneficial information. I really enjoyed watching this. I gave it a like. Again thank you for sharing.

[@davetreacy7610]

Dwarf Corydoras super active little fish very entertaining to watch and shrimp safe (mostly). Ember tetras for that splah of colour

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Great ideas, thanks 🙏

[@seangriffiths9163]

Dwarf corys....they are awesome little cats.

[@jonzstergaming1952]

Lovely aquarium and video!

[@aquamoment]

I always love to see some Ember Tetra's schooling

[@abhishekshirsekar2065]

Wow superb sir

[@smpdcupid7709]

It steels my heart

[@GergelyKissG]

Stunning! Is the Twinstar nano essential in this setup? What would happen if it was removed short/mid-term?

[@motisvaritia6045]

Looking great. A big school of boraras urophthalmoides for the fish.

[@johnuy1822]

Hi George. Great update. How did u attach the in line heater? Thank you. I cant see it in ur setup video.

[@heleneisler7355]

Beautiful!

[@kenro624]

This tank makes my tank look like a dump. Apparently I'm doing a terrible job of maintaining my tank. Thanks for video, looks Awesome!!

[@xoallison12ox]

Ken Emeigh Same! Crypt melt sucks :'/

[@z3ro7o]

Beast twinstar light helps alot with good soil

[@Sahity]

Hey George, do you know how to create a more bushy verticillata grow?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Try trimming back hard, although not a naturally bushy plant. Growth pattern not the same as a regular stem plant 👍

[@jaftism]

Beautiful... some fish life will bring some more interest... maybe Desert Gobies or Pygmy Rainbow fish. The little rainbows would be perfect for that scape.

[@wotrulke5868]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful aquascape, one question why do you place the glassware at the front of the aquarium rather than at the back out of view?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Best for circulation

[@wotrulke5868]

George Farmer ok thank you 👍🏻

[@Dreadknot68]

Great video as always!

[@bartek2462]

It' s really nice tank:) Amandea's would look great in this aqua

[@rebeccamcdonald2622]

Looks great, Steve and George! Maybe Steve would like to watch a pair of dwarf cichlids raise a family?

[@SimplyShrimps]

That’s some epic plant growth! Keep the scapes coming 😁

[@angelmc747]

I haven't seen a diffuser work that good. wow. Also: Where's the music from?

[@KokaneePacificRailway]

Ruby Tetra WILD Axelrodia riesei. I love mine!!!!

[@sahlvall]

Microdevario Kubotai is an awesome fish who melts in with the surroundings in an planted tank and doesn't pop out... Me personally doesn't like too much color that pops like a red ember tetra and so on, keep it easy and elegant :D

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Great suggestion!

[@sometingwong1136]

amazing tank, so amazing I would actually try to re create this but differently. the tank will be home made instead of buying

[@martinwelters370]

You could go for a nice group of Ember tetras, they would contrast nice with all that lush green.

[@SW-MOTO]

Hi George, do you clean sometimes Twinstar electrode? If yes than what do you use to clean it. Mine is 2 years in action and unfortunately only outside dia is producing O2. Rest of the Twinstar remain "dead". It looks like stone buildup, I tried many things to clean it but nothing works, maybe is time to exchange electrode? Please advice. Thanks, greetings from Switzerland :-) 🇨🇭

George...what do you think about the twinstar....is it really effective in creating an ideal environment...in conjuction with a good aquatic husbandry of course...

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

I think so 👍

[@GoodSamaritan1972]

George Farmer ...cheers George

[@GoodSamaritan1972]

HE'S BACK

What maintenance schedule has Steven used? Looks nice and algae free

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Daily dosing, 50% weekly water change

[@HM-lk3pq]

I thought it would be ? years old, that’s incredible!

[@philman2000]

Very nice Scape 👍🏻 boraras urophthalmoides would be great 😀

[@BoothferryLad]

Hello George. I’m a relatively new subber but your content is fantastic and I’m flying through your videos. Can I just ask I’m in love with the aquascaper 600 but I’m more of a fish man than plants, after a 8 year hiatus do you think I should get the tank? It’s just gorgeous. And 100 litre is a solid number. Thanks. Ps I’d like to see some Harlequins.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks so much! Yes, go for it. Try to visit Aquarium Gardens if you can. You won’t regret it.

[@chrisneitschl7356]

What fertilizers are used in this scape? I wonder how theres no algae growth in it. Had 4 Scapes already and in every scape there was different algae in it every time about 4 weeks starting the set up. Had the twinstar m3. Couldnt see any benefits using it.

[@Chris-hy4id]

Hi george ! Whether to use twinstar nano in daily basis? If so how many hours per day?

[@adamkemeny1500]

Can you give me an advice on growing monte carlo without CO2 ?

[@FECtetra1918]

You'd be asking for problems going high light with no co2. Algae will take over. You could keep it alive with a lower tech setup, but it might take forever to carpet. My suggestion: buy enough to carpet from the beginning or use DYI co2 for the first few weeks.

[@Davidova]

Beautiful! May be, Negeterandria elegans, Coridoras pigmeus and many Neocaridina davidi?

[@marcink8277]

Hi You can tell me which filter you use what power and company?

[@CPAngling]

I’ve set up an aquascape recently but it’s set up using RO water because this is what I use in my other fish dominance aquariums. Is this ok or do you find tape water gets better results?

A shoal of ember tetras would go well with the plants.

[@123Sister100]

Is it too late to offer suggestions about the type of fish? I know very little about aquarian fish, but I'm partial to colorful fish, fantail guppies or killifish.

[@tawsif-karim]

Hi George, have you ever encountered any situation like you wake up in the morning and a dead fish is floating around with its tail teared apart? I have kept amano shrimp(2), cardinal tetra(7), rummynose tetra(5) and guppies(3) in small tank(12 litre), because the main big tank is being prepared for them. This happened to me twice. any suggestion?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Have you tested your oxygen and ammonia levels ?

[@tawsif-karim]

not yet but all fishes looks healthy and playful. i checked last night.. changed 30% water .. that dead tetra was also fine.. but today morning i found it without its tail. do u doubt that shrimps could do any harm ?

[@cicco1838]

Awesome Great work Giorgio thank you for video cheers....

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Cheers!

[@The_Robert.Fletcher]

George you have shrimp in several of your tanks. How do they cope with the 50% water change? Many shrimp keepers would say they should not survive the the proof of the pudding is in the eating as they are there and look happy.

[@HeyBear503]

Cherry and Amano shrimp, hard as nails! :) The Caridina varieties like crystal reds etc. are less hardy generally, they're the one's that might struggle more with large parameter changes.

[@The_Robert.Fletcher]

Thank you Joe. I must do more investigation on this.

[@NielsHansen1983]

Hej George love your content, you should do a aquarium rescue for a fan, i think that would be some interresting content ✌️
