[@brettpid6416]

the links for the tank don't show me the vase?

[@MJAquascaping]

@@brettpid6416 I don’t have a link for the vase sorry, I just bought it at a local shop

[@erwinh0311]

Welke type lamp heb je precies gebruikt MJ?

[@streettrash4220]

I love all your high tech tanks, but these low tech no filter set ups are my favorite. I feel like they are much more of a conversation piece for folks with no experience. Good way to bring in new hobbyists.

[@MJAquascaping]

I totally agree😊

[@mettugran]

i feel like the only conversation pieces for none hobbyists are red and blue big fish. at which point they will say, these aren’t even gold fish. either way, they will enjoy tapping on the glass and walking away.

FINALLY!!! lol. Now THAT'S a beautiful planted vase. Nobody is doing these. At least not well. Stunning and inspirational. I have wanted to do one of these for quite a while now. Great job Mark........MORE!!!!! lol

[@MJAquascaping]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Paul-li9hq]

That vase is quite incredible. You've done a fantastic job there. Try the yellow shrimp. The brighter and more banana yellow, the better: they show up against absolutely any surface/background (unless you have a pale beige coloured substrate). I love mine: they are easily visible from a couple of metres away: much more so than the blues and reds in my other tanks...

[@HaizeyWings]

My mother loves these kinds of scapes, I'm definitely showing her this video to persuade her to let me fill the house with similar ones lol

[@dantreuthart9146]

I like how you added information on the plants you used such as genus, species, origin, etc

[@itsZdan]

a little trick i do after i apply the glue a second time is grind up a bit of aquarium soil i might have left over and use it to cover the whiteness of the cotton pad, works marvels

[@MJAquascaping]

Great tip!

[@joaquinc.bermell-scorciato2487]

Jjjj he encontrado a mi alma gemela, muchas gracias, enhorabuena, lo haces muy bien. Yo cambiaria el otocinclus por un zorro volador. Y aquí necesitamos un microcalentador también jjj perfecto hermano. Salud

Just did a vase for first time for my mom. So nice I want to take it home.

[@naturesounds...12]

It's amazing, wish everyone who sees this comment good health and happiness

[@coronis03]

No matter which of your videos I watch, I always learn something from you. You are a natural and generous teacher, thank you for sharing all of this beauty with your passion. Appreciated! Stunning work.

[@geraldoyo1]

I love your vase concept, it looks so elegant. I think I will recommend this to my sister.

[@MJAquascaping]

Thank you! 😊

[@freddyherman5042]

I was literally just looking at vase aquariums yesterday to set one up, ill take this upload as a sign to buy one! Thanks for the great content sir!

[@MissChelle]

Instead of baking soda, I use fine sand. Works great & looks good too. Also, I Plug my ‘holes’ with black felt. Love this project ❤️🇦🇺

[@davidhafner3855]

I love your Videos and your narration. Your voice has a calming effect on me Thanks very much Sincerely Dave

[@criteschristine]

I was so excited to see your New vase scape video! I was also amazed at the side of it when you appear next to it in the video. There is something magical about the circular scape! Love the plants you chose for this scape!

[@MJAquascaping]

Thank you Christine!

[@greeneyedpixie2]

wow man, that's stunning!

[@Urodoc2011]

Stunning is the word.. Trick in working with vase or bowl is the magnifying effect ..out of nowhere some plants, wood or stone stands out magnified.. Small suggestion to use some sponge or hob filter because of maintenance difficulties

[@ason250]

Beautiful as always 👍😊 Just made my 10L vase a week ago, inspired by your first vase 😀.

[@anthonyhendricks7377]

Beautiful aquarium!!!! You did a wonderful job on your build! Im a big fan of a living environment insted of a artifical fish tank.

[@hoomanAdnan]

Beautiful 👌🏻Loved it ❤from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@tombarb2864]

Very nice. It will take away your stress when you view it. I’m going to go to our local IKEA here in San Diego to look for a vase. If they don’t have anything, I can always jump across the border and to go to Mexico (15 miles from here) to find something. I have a perfect spot for a tank like this in the living room. Thanks MJ, you are a motivator 🙂

[@MJAquascaping]

Sounds great! Have fun setting it up!

[@miniandy82]

Your original vase vid was my favourite until now, thanks for doing another vase - they look so good 👍

[@BigShrimpin416]

I’ve never heard of that baking soda trick! Interesting!

[@alletechniek]

Looks really nice!

[@petpot1962]

May I steal your idea with enthusiasm 😂 it’s stunning and exactly what I was wanting to achieve 🙏

[@MJAquascaping]

go for it!

[@IndoorEcosystem]

These vases are really cool. I really like this build. I currently have one a slightly smaller covering a root over rock ficus to keep the humidity up so it stimulates ariel roots.

[@lukaszwisniewski5964]

This vase aquarium is amazing. I’m inspired! I’m looking forward for an update how it looks after another couple of weeks. Cheers 🙂

[@tulipvalley111]

Very calming to watch ❤ I was wondering about your accent then I noticed the “soda box”

[@MehriSaljooghi]

BEAUTIFUL

[@scapeyourdream]

Looks beautiful

[@REscapes]

I LOVE IT! I loved the first version of the vase so it's so nice to see the vase 2.0! It looks even better 😍

[@MJAquascaping]

Glad you like it!

[@Linoleum82]

Great timing. I bought myself a vase similar to yours (29cm wide, 35 tall) a few weeks ago with the same idea in mind. Should be getting the rest of my hardscape and plants tomorrow. Can't wait to get started.

[@petpot1962]

That's stunning !!! Nice little self contained ecosystem

[@raybro2216]

Stunning MJ. Absolutly stunning.

[@mikefisher4834]

Black Phantom Tetras would look amazing in this set up They’re quite a bit bigger than chili rasboras but they’re still small enough to live in this tank

[@mb9045]

Thanks for watching? Thanks for showing your knowledge. Love to see you creating your unique scapes. The idea with a vase was in my mind too. But i think, my wife will say its too much. We have a little 57 liter tank. I would love to build a low tec tank.... Good job👌🏼

[@oliverjanssen]

I would love to see a video in the future of how you clean this jar and tips.

[@joren70]

One of the best vase scapes I have ever seen. Heel mooi!

[@robertgilkerson8517]

Such a cool set up

[@xsonnynx]

Hi, TYVM, I'm a fan of your work.

[@morneschaap2944]

Beautiful setup, the tank looks amazing! Thanks for sharing

[@MJAquascaping]

Thanks for watching!

[@alexandralundqvist9654]

This is one of my favorites. I did my own vase after your first video and have been doing both vases and bowls since. Really enjoy them. Wish I could get hold of the same hardscape as you, but we don’t really have that much to choose from from where I’m from unfortunately.

[@MJAquascaping]

Bummer... where are you located?

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Thank you for including plant lists!

[@hummingbird4129]

I think two or three blue shrimp would look amazing in this setup

Awesome buddy, some great ideas here.

[@joenic4303]

I made one close to this size inspired by your original video, and it's my favorite. I have a 5 watt hiro light and it works great.

[@MJAquascaping]

That is awesome!

[@riajmahomud5842]

Looking so beautiful ❤️. I'm loving it 🥰

[@MasonsRainforest]

Always check for any sort of bubbles in glass vases. I had one explode in my hand and all I was doing was rinsing it out with room temp water.

Wow, thanks, just got my stuff in to do a vase. Perfect timing

cool tank, i was inspired by the first cylinder vase video and did my version. im here again to be reinspired. thanks

[@needhishnair8431]

Man ur an elite artist 😱

[@sergeiz.5815]

You can also put some electrical tape on light bulb area to block light if to bright or floating plants.

[@modellbaurobbe9951]

I really love how the vase turned out, tough I think that the 25L are still not enough space to keep otocinclus inside that tank or fish at all especially if you bear in mind that they like to in a group of at least 4-6 fish. Still love your videos and your aquascapes but I just wanted to mention that point.

[@typicallyusual6984]

I agree, especially with the dimensions. It really doesn’t have the horizontal swimming space fish need. If it was a 25L long tank then very small fish might be possible.

[@mfstarboy8690]

Well my Betta swim perfect in round cilinder vase filled with hardscape,plants and wood compared to a square aquarium. Their overall behaviour is much more natural. 😮

[@ikonhero]

Very nice. But what about temperature? I read shrimps can live as low as 15 degrees. Not sure about the fish.

[@ILIKEUALOT]

Soo Beautiful

[@somevids4187]

I am lower than a newbie, I don't know anything, but Father Fish said that algae start to form if the dirt in the substrate is not covered by a couple of inches of sand so that it is anaerobic. Once the nutrients start flowing up into the water, it produces algae.

[@IMaqua]

Wow thats a huge vase. I was planning to do something similar I just need to find bigger vase than the 4LTR vase I currently have. PS I was supporting Netherlands last night and was really hoping we can meet you in semifinals. That would be amazing game...

[@MJAquascaping]

Honestly I'm not a big fan of football... I did watch the game last night, but that was just sad 😅

[@IMaqua]

@@MJAquascaping I don't follow club football much but national team is something different, I lost my voice last night haha. NED-ARG game was really sad; the game but also all the other extra activities happening. Cheers

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Just gorgeous!

Great setup, I’m thinking of doing something like this but a bit smaller just to put on my desk

Love the tank. Where you got that shelve from?

[@MrCarson66]

Fantastic video most appreciated

[@waterlover]

You made me moss having a vase. Love what you did with everything , looks so beautiful. What about some Taiwanese b shrimp some red with white would so pop in that tank. Feed those rasboras some live food and the color will start to get intense red . Worked for me

[@MJAquascaping]

I'm too scared to keep those Taiwan bee shrimp 😁

@@MJAquascaping have you had them in the past and died?

You mentioned that you may change the decorative sand later to gravel if it looks unsightly with the fish poop and debris...how would you do this safely planted tank with shrimp and small fish?

Hi, I'm getting a vase to the same specs as you and am in Australia so the light you recommend is out of budget to get over here. Could you name a few alternative lights that would look classy? Currently looking at the chihiros tiny z but hoping you can offer a more minimalist solution please 🙏
