New river stream aquascape (step-by-step guide 2020)

In this video I will strip down my 45cm Hugo Kimishi tank that I use to keep plants, and do a completely new aquascape from start to finish. This aquascape was inspired by "A fresh water stream" layout by ADA.
check out this step by step guide to see how tis planted aquarium is done from the start.
Subscribe to see me create different aquascapes using different styles and products. Also expect to see reviews and unboxings of products related to aquascaping and the planted aquarium.

Just gorgeous!!

[@Natquascape]

Thank you so much. I will do an update soon.

[@adammajor123]

Watched a few of your videos today! Lovely scapes and great content

[@rupunumenga1648]

superb

[@Crazyforkoiandgoldfish]

Nice mate 👌

[@erhanacar71]

I really like this scape mate, simple and beautiful !

[@Natquascape]

Thank you so much. Inspired by ADA scape I saw on youtube but much smaller scale and much cheaper. I think you can have a great scape without having to spend a small fortune. Also really easy to maintain. I've added the fish and will do an update/cinematic soon (I will have to learn how to do a cinematic 🤔).

[@piotrkulpa8034]

Simple but very nice in the same time

[@Mr345696]

I’ve got a similar set up with my tank! Amazing how much beauty their is in simplicity!

[@Natquascape]

Thanks....I really like a simple setup. I feel it looks more natural too.

[@jscapes782]

Looks great mate

[@Natquascape]

Cheers Jan! Hopefully the back grown in a bit more and I can add some fish once fully cycled in. Thought I would do something a bit different and relatively simple.

[@andywright41]

That's a lovely scape for your daughter mate. Made even better with free rocks. Your videos are great too. Looking forward to watching more.

[@Natquascape]

Cheers Andy, yeah....love a good bargain and if they are free! I'll have it😆😆😆.

[@nbrant19]

Mannnn! I really love your scape, so inspired, gonna make look alike one soon!

[@Natquascape]

Ah I'm glad this inspired you! I love this scape because it was relatively easy to scape compared to the other scapes I have done on the channel. Check them out. Really appreciate the subscription. I hope you find it useful Norman. Very best wishes, Natquascape

[@VinnysAquatics]

That looks really good 👍👍👍 well done my friend 😁

[@Natquascape]

Cheers Vinny!

[@lochlainngoss9123]

Merry Christmas! love the new scape, I'm in the process of working out hardscape for my first high-tech setup (looks so much easier in videos haha). Your videos provide good inspiration :)

[@Natquascape]

Merry Christmas to you too! Hope your having a good one. Working out hardscape can be tricky, I've watched lots of videos and tried different things in a plastic tub or even just on the floor in my garage or living room before adding to a tank. Sometimes I have just done the hardscape in the tank without soil and it's been a work in progress for about a week. I feel that the more you do play around with hardscape, the easier it becomes. Thanks so much for your comment. More scapes and reviews to come inntbe new year! I have a new aquascaping tank product to show next year so stay tuned!

[@RAJASINGACHANNEL93]

❤️

[@KanayDhru]

Merry Christmas!

[@Natquascape]

Heya! Merry christmas guys! Big hugs to you all! Xxx

[@MrBeeznutz]

Love what your doing, very nice, new sub here

[@Natquascape]

Hi there thank you, I have also subbed like your channel

[@MrBeeznutz]

Thank you

[@atheist615]

Which filter should I use for 4 feet tank with this plant? Is top filter fine? Would the plant get affected with the flow of the water?

[@simonpidgeon949]

💯👍👍

[@DGphotography123]

Lovely aquascape. I know you said in the video that the stones were locally sourced but you did not say from where. I understand you might not want to tell everybody for fear of people not seeking permission for taking rocks but I would be grateful if you could tell me what your process was for seeking permission from the local authority.

[@hugoagogo4324]

I like that ..shes going to feed the fish every now and then !!! 😂😂 typical kid

[@Natquascape]

😄😄....yeah....when she can be bothered to 😆😆😆. Thanks mate.

[@andycarter4581]

Nice scape! Where did you collect the rocks?

[@SAVAGE-fj6ur]

What is anaerobic activity in substrate? Is condition where the substate not having oxigent or something?

[@Natquascape]

Hi there. Waste can collect and be broken down by bacteria in the substrate. This is good as the bacterial can release beneficial substances to the roots of your plants. However, we want out substrate system to receive some oxygen in order to allow beneficial bacteria to flourish and breakdown waste. With a lack of oxygen, anaerobic bacteria will start to release toxins into the water such as hydrogen sulphide. An accumulation of hydrogen sulphide will cause toxicity to both plants and fish. So....if you use a thick layer of sand, the sand will compact very easily and thus, oxygen will not be able to flow within the substrate (thick layer of sand). Hope this helps

[@SAVAGE-fj6ur]

@@Natquascape thanks for the reply you englihten me for my first aquascape

[@jimlubeskie4312]

do you know if they sell Hugo's aquariums in USA?

[@Natquascape]

Hi, I could not see if they sell in the USA. Check out this link to see if you could contact them to ask. Good question. hugokamishi.com/dealers/

[@2010sweep]

what rock have you used

[@Natquascape]

Pebbles from outdoors for this scape.

[@hakman239]

You don’t need to keep the water

[@Natquascape]

Yep, your right, but will keep the media and substrate system, thanks

[@vancevictorio6705]

Too much talk

[@engineeringsctv1264]
