This video is maybe the best we can found !

[@neilthomson4402]

A really informative, back to basics tutorial George. No mention of 53b either. I would like to see a tutorial on plant health. Showing how various varieties deteriorate under different conditions? I know this may be hard for you to do, as all yours are perfect! Keep on scaping

[@ALLDAYEVERYDAYKIM]

Great episode Mr Farmer

[@mikeinca3762]

Great video! Nothing better than getting helpful tips from the master himself! Because of you I got into the hobby of aquascaping about a year ago and enjoy every minute of it! From the excitement of getting started to the initial setup, to the final result and watching it establish! It was everything you said it would be! PEACEFUL! Thanks again George for all the time you put in to getting this beautiful hobby out there to everyone and helping me through the process! THANK YOU!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Cheers Mike! Glad to help 🙏💚

[@michaelr5545]

Please do a nutrient themed video. Dive deep into the world of Deficiency and Toxicity and how to spot and treat them

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Great idea. Thanks!

[@matthewscourfield5816]

Good to see you sticking to your roots of providing good educational videos. Even for the experienced it is a good refresher. Alot of channels showing off their work as entertainment which is fine but ur content is what matters!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Matthew 😊

[@markwakefield1462]

Yes. Very good video. Enjoyed this one. Shared.

[@tomocimalica7494]

Like always so simply explained

[@MySupra86]

Just by 100% intensity for 8 hours made you a true aquascaping master :) I could be a BBA master if I go that route! Keep on scaping George...

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Ha ha! Thanks mate

[@jordanyang3066]

that's why you gotta turn up the co2 and add oxygen at the same time.

[@AquariumShed]

This is EXACTLY the video I needed today, a great recap and nice to have all the info in one place. Awesome! When is the book coming out?

[@markbrady983]

Thanks George! Really helpful and informative video! IMO this is your best home aquascape yet. Absolutely stunning!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Mark!

[@AGROxXSVT]

Been watching your videos for about 2 weeks just started my first ever aquascape I’m addicted already

[@timbangert8224]

Awesome video!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thank you 👍

[@spencerbray2054]

Another amazing video George! Even though I think ive seen all of your content, I still find myself always learning from you. Amazing teacher and role model! Keep on scaping mate! Cant wait for the book!

[@TheOutdoorlife78]

great video bud ...really enjoyed it .

[@newmexicoaquatics282]

I love this style of video. Informative and relaxing. Thank you for sharing! Cheeri-O!- Little Bobby

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks mate!

[@zjenji]

I would love a video on fertilizers and dosing. Thank you for the helpful videos.

[@ahmedelsheikh9079]

That was a great video.Thanks .

[@ADUAquascaping]

Take notes y'all! We're great at forgetting things as humans. Excellent wisdom George! Can't wait to dive into the book!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks mate! Hope you’re well 😃

[@XtremeChiliPepper]

Excellent video! Very well explained, patiently, with easy terms! Your tanks are always an inspiration!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 😊

[@lewis94673]

Great video mate 👌🏻

[@darrylmoore5847]

Great video. I am very excited for the book to come out.

[@matthewamin1049]

Great video. Thanks for the shout out mate

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Cheers mate

[@alextrem10]

Very informative as usual. Please more info on fertilizer 🙏

[@driftindriftwood7301]

That tank is stunning !!!

[@sisukalat9415]

Ah, yes! I’d love a full video from you on liquid fertilizers! I’m about to set up my first “large” planted tank. All my fish tanks have always been fully planted, but they were all under 20 gallons. My new tank is 60 gallons, and I want to make sure my plants flourish! I’ll be purchasing a wider variety than I’ve had before, and I’d hate for them all to wither away due to inexperience. Thank you for all your tips and tricks, I love your channel! ❤️

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 🙏

[@louisgenin1038]

Would be interested in a video on fertilisers

[@GEORDIESCAPER]

Great video as normal George, can't wait for the book (signed ofcourse🤣😉) I think a stand out for your book will be some awesome photography. You inspire me to "keep on scaping".

[@fload46d]

I have preordered your book George and I hope you have included a lot of information in it because I hope to do it right when I do it.

[@andyparkes1957]

Definitely more in depth info on the fertilising please.

[@HotshotH]

Another great video and lovely aquarium. Success is always linked to balance. Light, CO2 and nutrients. A great video would be how to spot if you have too much or too little of each of these. Often aquarists don’t know which parameter to change, or in which direction. e.g. if you have algae, is this because of too little light, starving the plant of the ability to photosynthesise or too much light, starving the plant of nutrients. How to achieve the right balance would make for a great in-depth series.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

It’s a great idea. Basically I think it comes down to experience with individual systems because there’s so many variables otherwise.

[@thehardcorecasual9444]

what an amazing aquarium

[@crimsonnutcase7035]

Great video for someone new to the hobby like me

[@volteface69]

Merci pour ta vidéo George !!! 👍👍👍

[@greenman1426]

Loved this video! Really useful recap on everything. Can't wait for the book release!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks 😊

[@gqwarrior6694]

Come try an open top tank here in Perth, Australia. During summer it's common to lose 2lt to 4lt to evaporation in a single day. Love ya work 👍

[@allaboumohamed]

Great video as always George . A lot of informations . Many thanks

[@fishysnowman9082]

Really nice video and would love to see more on your dosing process.

[@vinniejudilla3921]

Nice to see the 1200 George! I was a huge fan of the first scape but i think this version is a true Farmer Classic😊 👍🌿

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Vinnie!

[@NigelMullaney]

Great video George! So looking forward to the book. I’m getting so much inspiration from your channel.

[@DeanR3]

Very helpful useful video and something different, great video for beginers and advanced would love a video like on this on addressing types of algae 😁 keep frequent updates comkng george and looking forward to the book 👌 Also another helpful video would be how to rescape when only have 1 tank and whats best way to go about it like were to put plants and live stock etc.

[@terrywilliams5810]

Hi George, top video today with tons of quality information, explained in a straight forward way . Excellent. Enjoy your week in Denmark. 😉.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Thanks Terry!

[@Arks123]

Great content 👍 can’t wait for the book!

[@carsony415]

+1 on talking about fertilizers

[@uraninite8151]

The Twinstar lights have the nicest spectrum greens and reds look good and the plants grow well.

[@stephenburke8581]

I think a video on fertilisers would be very interesting. I know there are a lot of opinions on the subject and I’d interested in your point of view and, the reasoning behind why and how you use them.

[@justbaquatics2512]

Thanks George.... The set up u did at Crowders is looking great....

[@alipetuniashow]

Can you do a video on lights and which ones are inexpensive and awesome.

[@pablomartinez3380]

Great video George!!!

[@pod543]

I use a turkey baster to bring up the detritus. Works great 👍🏻

[@Johnny-zu7tb]

Hi George way back when I first started aquarium keeping the oldest time aquarium never use to be with black silicone always as you mentioned it use to be clear silicone and when you use to cure a fish with medication such as Methylene blue it use to stain the silicone in a light blue and I've been on the hobby for more than 30 yrs.

[@drmscaper5878]

Thank you George, your explanation summarize all of the requirements in this hobby, well done!

[@gedheaton1415]

George,first off again cracking video,whats confusing me is distributing the CO2 around the tank,at some point if you haven't already will you consider doing a video on Flow and Co2 distribution to avoid dead spots. Cheers George,again top vid,looking forward to the book.

[@CherieChi]

Thank you for the useful information!!

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

You’re welcome!

[@pecktec]

Love it! Can’t wait for the book.

[@sonjahoffmann4838]

Very interesting Video and thank you for these informations. Great one and inspiring 😊👌

[@samharlen8912]

Great video overview George 😃💚🌱

[@awardsentrant]

Nice run down. Looking forward to your book!

[@jessl1631]

Would you use a fertilising layer under the soil?

[@namrataw914]

Thank u , it's quite a Helpful video.❤👍👍

[@neareide]

Nice video 👍 is it okey for 50lt 15-25 bubbles per min, I use home made CO2 so it’s not so stable.

[@michaelgoodson3675]

I cant wait for your book to come out!!!

[@jonisolis9645]

Thank you! Wishing you much success with your new book when it comes out!

[@golspy]

Hi George, just noticed @ 15:06 your inline diffuser its upside-down against the co2art instruction? was this by mistake or any particular reasons?

[@carleilers1199]

How do you connect the fertilizer pump with the Aquarium ? Is there a Inline connection or something ?

[@dlaqua2535]

Beautiful red stems. Do you inject another liquid fertilizer other than the tropica specialised?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

No 👍

[@markhunter2244]

Amazing Aquascape and set up 🤓

[@tomelliottguitartutor1325]

Where do you buy 5ltr tropica ferts, I can only find the 300ml. I am using a different fertiliser with my pump but think tropica maybe the way forward.

[@andrewpratt4481]

Awesome video. Thanks George. I’m a beginner and have made some mistakes but always feel inspired and hopeful I’ll get there eventually. In my case my new aquascape had a large algae outbreak. I am wondering if there is a way to recover from this without starting all over?

[@meansurf]

Looks amazing, what have you used on the back of the tank(glass) as a background

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Nothing 👍

[@timothyvandermeer6807]

Please do a video about liquid fertilizer. How do you see when you feed to much en to low etc etc

[@eriknovak9360]

Hello, George! 🙂 Thanks for the great video. You said, that liquid CO2 is not actually CO2 and potentially harmful, why it is so? I use Seachem Flourish Excel in my small shrimp tank.

[@christopherlamar9285]

Awesome video buddy👍 Goodmorning from Atlanta Georgia Always Love seeing your tanks I learned alot Cheer's 🙏

[@mikes6490]

well spoken at the end of the video

[@Handygrrl]

How does the fertilizer arrive in the tank? I.e., where is it plumbed to?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Airline into a glass u-bend over edge of tank

[@Handygrrl]

Thank you!

[@Andre-ns2nm]

George Farmer I’m sure you thought about it and I’m wondering why you didn’t do: injecting the fertilizer the same way you the CO2, inline. Great content! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, George!

[@yskye]

Thanks for your videos which have definitely inspired me to get back into the hobby after a break of several years. Three questions. 1) You always emphasise the importance of circulation. Why do you have the filter inlet and outlet next to one another? I always had them at opposite ends of the aquarium. 2) At 9.20 you say you do 50% water changes - how often do you do them? 3) I previously had a heating element buried in the substrate but I have not seen this included in any of the videos I have watched. Is this heating not used nowadays?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Hi, thanks for the feedback. The filter inlet and outlet together promotes better all-round circulation. If they are at opposite ends the flow in more linear with dead spots being more likely. I change 50% water weekly. Substrate heating is rarely used nowadays.

[@yskye]

@@GeorgeFarmerStudios Thanks for your reply. I'm looking forward to starting up again!

[@Davidova]

Super tanks, super video, super George)))

[@mcaseupton]

Thanks George, can’t wait for the book 👍

[@rafsanshohaib8805]

Amazing video Can you please tell me one thing? Does tropica specialised nutrition expires? I mean if I keep it for 1 or 1.5 years (because my tank is a nano tank) will it be a problem? Thanks

[@johnfloydman7735]

Thanks for that 👍 very interesting ✌🙏

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

You’re welcome!

[@fabioprata9539]

Great overall video George! The fertilizing was really interesting for me. How do you compare to the Seachen Florish line. I am using it but it is a lot of work... would really like to change to something more simple like you have...

[@per-olajonsson2920]

Whats the name of the foregroundplant George

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Helanthium tenellum

[@stateniland]

I have a HOB filter on my 75g now.. keeps tank clean.. would changing over to the OASE filter system give me any more benefits? Thank you, Joe

[@Johnny_Nodes]

Awesome stuff George, I love this tank! I'm building my first high tech with a WRGB2 Slim for a 90p - As you mentioned here in the lighting section, do you find it best to use the lights for the full 8 hour photoperiod right off the jump but reduce the intensity for the first week and slowly work up to 100%?

[@keithdouglas8707]

The key to success is money and lots of it for example that light is $800 in Australia. But you can still achieve success on a budget. Aqua soil, good filtration and flow, a light that is 6000k and liquid fertilisers along with a good maintenance schedule and you will succeed and you don't need co2 to succeed.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Absolutely. I have a playlist of videos outlining budget aquascaping too

[@nikolaj1316]

All plants will grow without additional co2

[@HeRo-qd6tk]

Hi George! You are a great teacher 👨‍🏫. I would like more info on the health of the livestock vs what we put in our tanks. I always worry when i fertilize for example. I am afraid it hurts them in the long run. Other subject would be the uv and electrolyse sterilizers. Again thank you for the coaching. Looking forward to your book release.

[@dlealchicago]

Another great video George! Most fertilizers say dose once or twice a week. In your case doing daily, are you doing lighter amounts more frequently? Or standard amount everyday ?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

I usually divide the weekly dose into 7 daily doses, then multiply according to the system. More light, CO2 and plants I dose much more, for example.

[@dlealchicago]

@@GeorgeFarmerStudios well said! You ROCK!!!

[@alanbennett3812]

Hi George. Great videos. I'll be purchasing your book. 👍 How long have you been running with one filter. I'm guessing your not running into trouble because the tank is mature. Also, there's more load on that single heater. Maybe that's why it's on more. I'm looking to purchase the 1500 aquarium this year. I called into aquarium Gardens. Great shop. The one oversite I didn't consider was the actual running costs of the tank. Did you notice a increase in your electricity bills running the 1200 with two oase. Thanks.

[@gardian1701]

I like your scaping, and I know you say about alternative equipment like standard glass ect but almost all your setups use the most expensive brand name kits from glass, lights to soil. Some of us use a cheap SunSun filter, top soil from b&q and sand from the beach in a second hand jewel. 🤣 As for carbon! Do you blow co2 on your house plants?

[@cmaddog]

You’ve shown maintaining CO2 diffusers in tank, how often do you service inline diffusers?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

I use a hose brush in them every time I clean the hose - every 3 weeks or so

[@bhillson]

What’s the difference between the twinstar ea and sa?

[@tombradyandme]

George- I just bought a Twinstar Shrimp and in both modes it just stops after 10 seconds. Is that what it’s meant to do or is it defective?

[@TonyG737]

Hi George I really enjoy your videos. Please can you give me some advice. I’m setting up my first aquarium with sand/slate /&tetra complete. I want a well planted tank. Do I need to leave aquarium after adding chemicals or add something ie shrimp/snails to get the water & right. Or just leave filter & heater & Plants running till get the right levels. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Tony.

[@cristiancatanese2635]

What style aquascsape is this?

[@simonpieman1653]

How long would a 2kg fire extinguisher of co2 last in a 250 fully planted tank?

[@alanbennett3812]

Hi. My 2kg fire exstinguisher lasts around 3 months. On for 9 hours. Bubble rate similar to Mr farmers tank in this video. My tank is 190 litres..

[@sleeperface1754]

I’ve been looking at inline diffusers for some time and was wondering which you are using in this set up. Also, how does it perform?

[@alexmclaren7823]

Hey george! My tank started getting staghorn algae all over the java ferns and the ferns are starting to go brown!! Any ideas.... also where can we find this book of yours?

[@Macias]

Do You use RO water? If not, what water parameters do You have in tap? (Ca, Mg...)

[@philipwilliams2229]

George, do you ever use root tabs of any kind in your aquascapes?

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Rarely
