I TRANSFORMED THIS AQUARIUM IN 5 HOURS! | Angelfish Island

Welcome to Cichlidscape. On this channel I document my fish keeping journey sharing aquarium setup videos, hints & tips, product reviews, store tours and much more! I keep & breed a vast array of different aquarium fish including African Cichlids, South American Cichlids, Community fish & Fancy Goldfish. Whether your new to the hobby or an absolute fish nerd, there's something for you here, so hit the sub button and follow along!
In today's video we totally transform an aquarium in 1 afternoon! This consists of taking the plants & decor out of the tank, removing the fish and putting them in temporary housing. Then cleaning the tank, designing it, filling it, before getting the fish back in. This process took around 5-6 hours but I'm really happy with the end result!

Great tank, Id call it "Angel Island"!

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

Very pretty. I bet you're impatient for the Vals to grow :)

[@cichlidscape]

Thanks! & hahaha sure am!

[@porkchopjp]

beautiful!

[@bruce_lero1]

Another great scape! We’ll done! Since the Java ferns atop the wood resembles palm trees, Island Palms tank? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Lol

[@cichlidscape]

Thanks for watching Bruce! & hahaha that’s exactly what I was going for in terms of the palms😂 could be palm fern island? Haha

[@johnharrand9765]

Loving the tank Lewis. You're right it is very reminiscent of the tank you did a while ago. The Angels are putting on some size now especially the Platinums or are they Altums. Looking forward to your next one. Take care mate.

[@cichlidscape]

Thanks John! I really like how it turned out👍🏻 they are platinums for the most part. I do have a silver one though which color wise, does look a little like the Altum👍🏻

[@jaxxkane7504]

That's nice might do something like that with my 29 gallon tank😊

[@Jayr2374]

Very cool bro !

[@cichlidscape]

Thanks for checking it out man. Really happy with how it turned out. A lot better than the previous rendition I think👍🏻

[@LoveWhatYouDrive]

Hey this is amazing work good job! Was wondering what size tank is this. 55gal or 125? Thanks

[@cichlidscape]

Thanks! It’s a 55 gallon. I showed my old 125 scape in the video & that was my inspiration for it. Wanted to create something similar, just in a 55👍🏻

[@LoveWhatYouDrive]

@@cichlidscape ok cool cus it look big, I had a 55 but downsized to a 40. Love it as well, but will be getting something bigger for my new home! Love this island idea! Maybe I’ll steal it for my scape! Thanks! Cool channel!

[@cichlidscape]

@@LoveWhatYouDrive thanks I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video👍🏻

[@mountainhobbit1971]

I didn't mind the way the tank looked before...and this new scape is really nice too.

[@cichlidscape]

Thanks for checking it out Sean! Not bad before but I think it’s better now. A little more clean looking you know!👌🏻

[@coma4977]

Amazing

[@m.nazifyilmaz3835]

Great landscape, I have a 55g angelfish tank with 2 islands and looks much smaller. Maybe a central island will be better. How do you make your water so crystal clear? Looks amazing

[@cichlidscape]

Thanks I appreciate it! In terms of water clarity I do use polyfil which I think is the best thing to clear your water up. I’ll link a video I did on this below if you want to check it out! How to achieve crystal clear aquarium water! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rauWkJWAh9V5ras

@@cichlidscape I watched it right now, good tips and to the point. Great channel, keep it up and thanks for your reply!

[@dylanwittek]

How is the tank so clear. I have a 55 gallon and used quikrete gravel as the substrate. Not to sure if that was the best idea. Also the filter is up to 50 gallons. Should I replace it with a better one? Love the videos!

[@SiniSimon]

What are the dither fish with the black stripe and red spot near its eyes? So pretty 😍

[@cichlidscape]

They are black neon tetra. Such an underrated fish!

[@SiniSimon]

@cichlidscape The effect of the stripes and spots when they are schooling is beautiful, while not detracting attention from any centre display fish! Nice! Thanks for replying :D

[@dylanwittek]

Do you know how much stone you have. I just ordered 10lbs or blue seiryu stone and I feel like it’s not enough

[@AlbertFrinice]

Angelfish can eat new life spectrum pallet?

[@ShamsulIslam-c3i]

Angle haven

[@abhisankaradhikary1067]

Excellent scape but heterogeneous fish stock .........

[@cichlidscape]

Thanks! How so?

[@abhisankaradhikary1067]

@@cichlidscape bcz it's looks like community tank.....with Pearl Gorami, different Tetra , perhaps Keyhole etc etc...... Angel specific tank with Angel only ....moreover same type of Angel, max a group of Tetra single type ............my personal vision

[@cichlidscape]

@@abhisankaradhikary1067 gotcha! I think the only fish not from that region in here is the gourami. Everything else is South America👍🏻 angels sure are cool though! I wanted all wild coloration types but couldn’t get a lot of them in my area so settled for some platinums too

[@abhisankaradhikary1067]

@@cichlidscape it's ok. .............no issue ..........
