Cantatos Possibly. Maybe... I have the 4 gallon, but don't like how small it is. May get a 10 gallon going.

[@stephenblack8698]

Beautiful tank with great plant variety

[@ADUAquascaping]

Thanks!

[@dmartinez930]

Why do people thumbs down the video and not leave a comment as to why? It was an informative video not sure why anyone would hate it. And it hurts the channel also, not cool.

[@ADUAquascaping]

D Martinez who knows man. I just do my thing these days. Haha. Let them do whatever

[@FishForThought]

There'll always be those kinds of nasty people. Actually, you know you've made it big if you've accumulated them haters. They can hate all they want then :)

[@jamesmartin4902]

Some people are just natural born assholes....

[@garrisonsmith2684]

D Martinez some men want to watch the world burn.

[@amaxlite]

it does not hurt the channel... only if # of thumbs down is significantly greater which isnt so why are you focused on it

[@botanicacuario]

Thaks, you have been so helpful to me. I have a heavy mass planted aquarium.

[@rick49]

Mini Christmas Moss! Never heard of it before! Yay learning. Looks really good; gotta get some.

[@radicaledward3026]

I was just moving some Pinnatifida today and was wondering if I should trim the long leaves -- so thanks for the tip. I love rewatching your videos because I always learn something new. Your channel is a great resource for the hobby. Thanks for doing this for us!

[@strictly4passion]

For a second i thought ur gonna cut up those fishes... Nice video. Thanks

[@sharonbendtsen2973]

I just got some mini weeping moss. Am very excited to see how it grows. Nice tank by the way

[@jmdq1]

You can have scissors sharpened professionally, if they are well made . Look up Laville Barber in Indiana . I’ve had my grooming shears sharpened and realigned for 30 years by this company. You may find one closer to you. Ask the beauty and barber shops. They often have the rep from the company come every other month to pick up shears. Then you can have them shipped back. Also independent grooming salons will have the same service.

[@HM-lk3pq]

Another great tutorial! You are the one and only planted tank whisperer on KZbin! Keep on keeping it real :-)

Great instructional vid...makes me want to get some. thanks for sharing.

[@ADUAquascaping]

JRPy Fish-n-Game It is pretty nice looking in person. Just have to watch it carefully. Thanks for watching.

[@thomasm78]

Love the beard 😎

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Great video

[@damionmarkham9835]

Excellent thank you , you can get your scissors sharpened at a nice knife place

[@repaddict]

Got the Shia LeBeouf look going on 😜

[@ADUAquascaping]

Joe A haha, back in action!

[@dmand2353]

It would be cool to make a Christmas tree aquascape with Christmas moss.

[@ADUAquascaping]

DMAN D yeah that would be cool. A lot of dedication for that scape, but would looks pretty sweet.

[@n.o.a.h.-northernontarioaq7991]

Nice vid as always man. Missing you as another voice of reason around the forums though.

[@stephenblack8698]

Thank you for the information! What is that light, and ehat did it cost? Im considering buying a Twinstar C450 for my 20inch, 10 gallon aquarium, and return these feit electric griw lights I bought.

[@ADUAquascaping]

It was an Aquatic Life Halo. I'm not sure if they are still around. The Twinstar will be better for growth. You're welcome

[@YtROrtiz]

Hey Dave cool looking beard. Love how the tetras goo check what's going on with the moss

[@nathane9206]

yay

[@hectornfigueroa11]

Long time no see? No kidding, look at that beard... Nice to see you around Dave. Nice video as informative as usual.

[@ADUAquascaping]

hectornfigueroa11 thanks for watching man. I realized I didn't show myself in my last few videos, and figured I better get back in the swing of things

[@dmand2353]

You don't need to get new scissors, you can just sharpen them.

[@thesoftrevolution5682]

My sharpener is one of the best purchases I've ever made.. I haven't bought new knives or scissors in years.

[@nourradwan927]

Please add subtitles

[@ADUAquascaping]

Alright. I thought they had them, but I guess not. I will check the options menu. Thanks!

[@sharonbendtsen2973]

You can sharpen them for about $6 instead of buying new

[@bebehasbebehas2287]

maybe in his place getting to the man who sharpens them costs more than 6 bucks. You know, transport, tickets and so on.

[@Backcountryhiker]

Hi, Thank you for your info! I'm new to this and wonder if I can use this "cool water moss" with warm water South American Cichlids? Thank you.

[@ADUAquascaping]

It should work, but it may be more stringy and less dense in hotter water. More think looking, but who knows. If you trim it nicely and keep up on it you can make the moss look great! Give it a try and thank for watching!

[@Backcountryhiker]

@@ADUAquascaping Thank you!

[@jkytest1]

I just got blind sided by bunch of hair algae on my Christmas moss. It's a very tiny tank 2.6 gal. Any suggestion on how to handle it? btw, nice vid

[@ADUAquascaping]

jkytest1 yeah check out my video I did right before this one. On how to eradicate algae from your aquascape.

[@jkytest1]

Thanks for that. I just did a water change and trimmed bunch of the moss along with the hair algae. Will definitely reduce photo period. I prolonged it to increase other types of algae for shrimp and snail to feed on, but they were not tackling the hair algae so...

[@karmickoala101]

Jesse your other type of algae will surely slowly acclimate to your decreasing photo resouces. Live plant scaping is all about optimizing their needs and the environment.😊 As of moment, reducing the lighting period is your best option, or they may infect your other live plant as well.

[@ADUAquascaping]

Ahmad Hafizudin Azmi that is a good point. Over time they can acclimate, so yes, you must reduce the algae and then begin increasing the light once again. I have had the very thing you speak of happen in one of my tanks.

[@ahxpluhh]

I can't have an open lid tank. My cat will be drunk from RO water lol.

[@juli8vdberg562]

Some woods and branches out of my tank and I added a few bucephalandra and Anubias to it, is that OK?

[@ADUAquascaping]

If the wood stays wet throughout the day it will work, or if you spray the wood with water it will work. But if the wood stays dry, then it will not work

[@juli8vdberg562]

@@ADUAquascaping naturally so... Thank you. I had to remove one bucephalandra already within 2 hours after having attached it and submerged that, one other seems closer to the wet wood and does fine still... Just tired of tannine from wood messing up my tank..

[@chelsiwright8995]

What is the height of mini Christmas moss full grown?

[@renjithravindren7101]

Hi bro which Moss is better for driftwood , minifissidents , fissidens ,mini pellia I want to cover the whole wood thanks in advance

[@WTFENIGMA]

Well it take over your aquarium how do in keep it on one rock

[@ADUAquascaping]

Just keep trimming it when it gets too large. Remove excess with a siphon tube and or net. It won't take over.

[@ADUAquascaping]

You can use thread to attach it to rock or wood. Or you can use super glue

[@WTFENIGMA]

@@ADUAquascaping will it float to the top? So.i can grab it will i be able to control it cause I don't want it nowhere else

[@ADUAquascaping]

@@WTFENIGMA best to turn off your filter and then remove at a water change after trimming. And use a siphon tube and net. It will take some maintenance just like any moss

[@WTFENIGMA]

@@ADUAquascaping never did moss or plants i just killed all the ones I had i put them in a bucket with a lil salt to cleanse germs thought they'll be fine just in water guess not they got in my tank and died i honestly don't know.. what I did ti kill them but I have Christmas moss and Java moss never planted and then I research it can go crazy

[@teoandy3493]

Howul u grow the moss tat nice without algae?

[@amaxlite]

When you're trimming and miss a spot where it lands will it start to branch out from just a small trimming?

[@connorhlane]

Come back!!

[@MrRussianGerman]

Does trimming it stimulate new growth?

[@ADUAquascaping]

MrRussianGerman It can help it become more compact, so yes. Is this Travis by chance?

[@amberjackson2409]

Just a note: you can have your scissors sharpened at any place that does professional knife sharpening. It's very inexpensive as well.

[@ADUAquascaping]

Right! I just ended up sharpening them myself! Haha

[@Janjandimapakals]

did u use co2?

[@ADUAquascaping]

Yes

[@TheTritan408]

Quick question... are you the seller to Thrive Liquid Fertilizer on Amazon?

[@ADUAquascaping]

Tritan No, I just did the glamour shots for Colin. Hahaha

[@manuelmanuellin3849]

can those clippings be used in a dry start or paint on method using yogurt?

[@ADUAquascaping]

manolo edano alm Yes they can

[@karlisfeld6798]

Christmas moss comes from the Sunda Islands of Indonesia

[@ADUAquascaping]

Karl Isfeld this is miniature. Look into it and get back to me. Technically not the same moss

[@adamadi6291]

What is the lights you are using in this tank???

[@ADUAquascaping]

Adam adi Aquatic Life Halo LED. Very nice color rendering

[@adamadi6291]

Ths

[@garbageman9145]

Hey I know you were close to NickMach007 can u persuade him to come back

[@ADUAquascaping]

Garbage Man I wish, but he never responds. I have tried in the past.

[@akvarist1849]

Anlatdigindan bir bok anlamadım ama akvaryumun çok güzel 😁

[@Colonist83]

Where could one find a seller?

[@ADUAquascaping]

Buceplant.com should be have some. Check my channel description too. You can get a discount with one of my codes and use the link provided below the channel description to their website. I get a modest commission. Thanks for watching

[@procellxtwinkletoes]

I’ve got my moss attached to driftwood using low tech cable ties 👍🏼👌🏼 no issues with detaching thus far 😎

[@ADUAquascaping]

Twinkle Toes to that's a good method

[@lucifelmartell]

You said "detached" and i'm thinking Interstellar..... T___T

[@JoaoPedro-hg2eg]

First!

[@howodd2016]

Sharpen scissors by cutting up a piece of tin foil

[@trancebass2741]

What the hell?

[@howodd2016]

Crazy but it works

[@brookebiddle6199]

Sorry but how many times have u swallowed ur saliva in this video ugh it made me unsubscribe I’m so sorry but I can’t hear it over and over like that it urks me

[@ADUAquascaping]

I probably just ate something I imagine. Humans swallow once per minute unless they're mentally challenged. I hate when people talk with excessive spit in their mouths haha
