Livestock has been added! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXmnZaVnh76Miq8&

[@burudice6281]

You should’ve use duck weed instead of selvania

[@veronicadamelio5043]

I started my first paludarium today! Adding some more plants to the background tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration

[@NaturescapesByRocco]

Thanks for watching!

[@jlin592]

Nice video! I like how you added some information on the plants, like the level of difficulty and such. I’m a beginner, so this helps a lot!

[@TankTested]

Really wonderful work! Beautifully filmed and edited as well!

[@NaturescapesByRocco]

Alex! You're the best, thank you for the support! Hope you stay safe, let's keep in touch!

[@offsetluv2648]

Such a clean set-up build! Inspiring, classy and clean!

[@dsitha]

Well done! Dedication to detail is impressive and so satisfying to watch!

[@Overt_Z]

Bro so glad I discovered you, I had the idea of building a paludarium around my Bonsai tree but I couldn’t find ANYONE that did it like this, I wanted the tree to be removable for maintenance and still have the water fall across the scape. After seeing how you rigged the tree inside just 🤯 I had no idea where to begin (this is my first project) you’ve definitely inspired to me to pursue this project, subbed for life brother!

[@paulfernandez7829]

I’m surprised this channel just started.. it’s great! I’m looking to start my own paludarium so see all the items you used listed in the description 👌🏽💪🏽

[@BanyukuChannel]

Love the way this video edited and taken.. So enjoyable to watch

[@NaturescapesByRocco]

Thanks!

[@hassannawaz4842]

Nice and Extremely professional.

[@TroyGoldberg]

Absolutely awesome channel, camera, editing and music is on fleek! lol... awesome stuff!! Excited to watch this channel blow up!

[@codyshowalter583]

Great video, really well done all around. I'm an aquascaper hoping to give paludariums a try in the near future, this is all really helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[@arfworks.]

The plant species is very helpful. Keep it up!

[@khandeexiong7769]

I love your vids man. Super informational and good content. Keep up the great work!

[@tthimsel]

Literally impressive!

[@arnomrnym6329]

Thanx for the detailed plant infos. Great work! 👍😎

[@aquafox6868]

Lovely paludarium! Great job! 👍

[@menature3893]

It's so beautiful .I love to see your video ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@brendaleebeowulf]

Very well done! Thanx for th info on th plants & moss, that is so important to kno..I look forward to seeing more from u.. Georgia USA..😊

[@stockraker1690]

Awesome camera and editing work but can’t say it’s better than the paludarium. Great piece of art. Thanks for sharing. Show us the stocked update when you can. Thinking chili rasboras would fit right in

[@NaturescapesByRocco]

Thanks! Yeah Chilis would be great, awesome little fish.

[@alexferrari8413]

Cool video

[@AGDesigns123]

Gorgeous tank, you are an artist my man.

[@sandeepchandegra4158]

The plant that you have given is very good, it is very beneficial for new people, as in I waiting for new video 😊

[@axelespinoza98]

amazing work, cant wait till you add fish!

[@wishropp]

Outstanding

[@bacaladabin9810]

Beautiful! Congrats! 👏👏

[@stevieeskay]

This video is exactly what I was looking for. Absolutely brilliant! Could you please tell me what light you har used and at what height from the tank? Thank you!

[@Orlandohaschanged]

well done

[@aalhomrani2111]

Give us a long long video,,,100k please Great work Thank you

[@AngelinaJane-zy5sm]

Woaah.. so cool!!😊😊😍😍🤩🤩👍👍..

[@kiaoptima7850]

Looks great, other than soaking the moss, do you do any other pest management? Last time I harvested moss I got baby slugs, worms, and even a tiny millipede.

[@NaturescapesByRocco]

I'll dilute hydrogen peroxide to 1.5% and dip the moss in that mixture! Lots of critters in moss. You can "drown" it for up to a few days, even, to kill everything.

[@saraysha]

Beautiful

[@NaturescapesByRocco]

thank you!

[@KnoVic0617]

cool and neat! thx for sharing, mate.

[@lowlife9966]

Just wow 😍

[@NigelAquascaping]

[@ALovelyLad]

3:48 lmaoo those needs

[@asuaibsuaidi04]

Mantap and Nice I from Indonesia.

[@jpuxol]

Its Incredible!! You have a new suscriptor! I have a doubt about the filtration and the maintenance. How do you clean the pomp and the filtration material? Keep it up!!!

[@2019freddie]

Fantastic buddy! is it still running?

[@NaturescapesByRocco]

This tank lasted more than two years! I took videos the whole time, but just don't have the interest in editing them and posting them. It absolutely could have gone longer-- it was an amazing system. By the end, the entire "mountain" of rocks on the left was just one giant mountain of moss, no rocks visible! And the tree stopped being a bonsai, and started becoming a full sized tree.

[@jonahlitz2170]

love the music

[@marlenelrx]

That's impressive. How great this is. How easy is it to maintain everything as you have to remove mosses to access pumps and other technial areas ?

[@黃色的老鼠]

nice Aquarium nice BGM what is that BGM?

[@mdlm1812]

Can you recommend a place or brand where you got your manifold from? Thank you!

[@stoneysscapes7544]

Manifolds I usually see @ Brew & Grow stores , Amazon for sure 🌊

[@irfaanatchiaia]

Great work .can I ask how do you look after land moss in this set up plz?

[@rve8188]

Hola, que tipos de musgo terrestre podemos usar en nuestros acuaterrarios? gracias.

[@Alex-pn2of]

Ep 3?

[@aischacelik8161]

It looks good. But I miss something. Some fishes.

[@NaturescapesByRocco]

See the next episode! "Adding Minnows" kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXmnZaVnh76Miq8&

[@BradleyStreak]

Nice! How much stone did you order? I'm doing something similar in a 29 just with Ohko Stone and planning on getting 25lbs. Thanks for the ideas!

[@NaturescapesByRocco]

About 10 lbs! You're welcome.

[@erinhallmakes777]

How many gallons of water do you think you ended up with? How tall is the front panel?

[@abrahamnutrition]

How do you know if you have the right type of rock that is not going to leech anything harmful into the water for inhabitants?

[@georgejacob01]

Hi, you inspired me to try making one!!! 😊 Can you please share the link for the water splitter and for 1/4 to 3/16 adaptor I cd use with the pump

[@artsparadisopracticaleduca4378]

@George Jacob I believe this is the 5-way splitter that he used: www.amazon.com/uxcell-Stainless-Branch-Control-Aquarium/dp/B072X811D7/ I'm not sure about the adapter. You could try searching on Amazon.

[@brianbrewer2882]

What is the black foamy stuff.?

[@yuzaard8162]

Polyurethane foam, ex: great stuff pond & stone

[@artsparadisopracticaleduca4378]

I believe he was using the black expanding foam: www.amazon.com/Aquascape-827807210537-Waterfall-16-Ounce-21053/dp/B000N17Q3U/

[@reynanjta4924]

😃😮😮

[@Sachinraik]

Hi what is the best bonsai tree species? I wanna keep them above water but would like roots getting into water.

[@pasnisar]

Интересно, долго ли живут эти композиции после создания?

[@kymobrien4590]

My question is why do you need to take off all the sides can't you take off one small side cut it and then put it on the front

[@abrahamnutrition]

Do you use a water conditioner?

[@rotor7135]

You said you’d link your RO filter. Am I missing it or is it not there?

[@primalmite625]

This is beautiful, What are you gonna stock it with?

[@NaturescapesByRocco]

Likely White Clouds, Cherry Shrimp, and Nerite Snails.

[@11_giahung27]

What kind of stone are you using?

[@rxnova]

the only reason i haven't build an aquarium or paludarium is i never know what plants/fish to have in the tank. plus i find it discouraging that i can never identify the plants/fish/moss from look. do you have any recommendations

[@binovinpeiris2571]

Can you add fish to this tank

[@uzumakiulises2680]

Falta la Tortuga

[@jeanpierrerutty9186]

please explain what the access box is for

[@artsparadisopracticaleduca4378]

@Jean pierre Rutty The access box is used for removing dirt and the pump. More details in part 1 of the video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJfYe4mXr8mcY80

[@TroyGoldberg]

look out serpadesign.....

[@phoenix-lu4vm]

What is the function of the "access box" ?

[@fbi8237]

Is this safe for newts ?

[@jonatanalejandro1074]

Dónde puedo conseguir espuma que se pueda meter a acuario

[@evascape]

Me gusta mucho me lo vende?

[@TheErms12345]

What would this sell for?

[@miguelangelgonzalesramos7539]

what the hell shit happens in the minute 5:32

[@bech808]

Hey Rocco. Can I somehow get in contact with you? Kind regarts Niclas

[@NaturescapesByRocco]

Sure niclas, email me at [e-mail]

[@eleanor8160]

needs: NoThInG

[@chrisramido4342]

Next time get yourself a hand cutter, it will help you a lot instead of using a bare blade for crying out loud! I cringed the whole time watching your fingers. My humble suggestion even though you're not asking, Plant the plants first before adding the water, you can move it around until you're happy with it. Have fun

[@corandonaya3679]

Utiliza muchos componentes inorgánicos,,,😡😡😡 mucha basura plástica 👎👎👎,,, tiene que hacerse con componentes orgánicos cemento arcilla,,,

[@spooky3669]

Absolutely NO idea Why you demolish a New aquarium and spend Hours of scraping silicone??? Just by sheets of glass at your local hardware store much less expensive and time consuming
