Hi mr. George i have a favor please

[@Lazy_Fish_Keeper]

You make a scape for a friend, I will be ordering your book next month with my pay for a surprise gift for my brother-in-law. He doesn't KZbin and has been doing low tech tanks for decades. He loves plants almost as much as he loves bugs💜

[@gabrielregimbald3513]

"Please do not touch the glass." Fingers all over the glass. Joking aside, thanks for your inspiring videos mr. Farmer. Always happy to see a notification.

[@pearlfectfishtanks]

I was about the mention! Please do not touch the glass. 🤣🤪🙈

[@TelTunes]

"The danger of putting moss in a new scape, it tends to get covered in algae", Thanks, George. That's one reason, I don't miss out on any part of your videos.

[@jefffernandez1264]

Can that be mitigated with floating plants?

[@photofoolus]

Would love to see a deep dive on the epiphyte tank.

[@SteveHinrichs]

George, I truly enjoy your videos when you go to the store an purchase the supplies for a new aquascaper. It helps others, like me, who needs to go to a local store pick out supplies from what is available to the average person. Your skills and knowledge is so amazing. This build is beautiful.

[@lauraashmore7184]

Oh my gosh I’ve never seen such a huge selection of plants!!! Healthy as well!! Would love to make a trip down to Aquarium Gardens one day 💚

Love D&B, Love Aquascapes (and GF vidoes) and was in Aquarium Gardens yesterday !!

[@jaz58107]

The Aquarium Gardens website is great and I've ordered from them before but I'd love to visit the shop, it looks like my idea of heaven. You've done an amazing job on that nano cube, it's is absolutely adorable 😍

[@cyndifalk]

Love this little style of impromptu videos - Theyre really a lot of fun! Hearing rambling thoughts are very educational too!

Nice work George!

[@newmexicoaquatics282]

Love this one George. Love seeing you work and spreading the love of this hobby. And nice to know more about you and your interest in music. I've been a musician for a long time. I have recently gotten into electronic, dance, house, etc... so much fun! Take care Cheeri-O! - Little Bobby

[@vixt2389]

I've ordered p!ants from aquarium gardens several times now because of George's videos & they are fantastic, excellent quality. I wouldn't buy elsewhere now.

[@UncalBertExcretes]

You & MD fish tanks should make friends & start your own aquascape shop together.

[@AccessibleCruises]

I know right? They have done atleast one video together. I watched it on MD's channel.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

I’m not interested in retail. I suspect MD feels the same. Too much stress.

[@UncalBertExcretes]

It wouldn't be for the money, it would be for the love & support for the hobby, you guys could provide more specialist equipment for professional aquascapes, the kind of stuff you won't find in pets at home lol

[@Lazy_Fish_Keeper]

@@GeorgeFarmerStudios I have worked aquarium retail. 100% support and understand. There's a new concept starting, of co-operative types that are more of a learning / display center and people pay a monthly fee to be a member. Then group orders can save money, and it makes it easier to order from other countries and get a single order through customs. You and MD are looked up to by many people, globally.... Like thousands of thousands 😊 I would pay for a fish room tour and schedule my next visit around tour availability. It's just a thought. Of course, many of us get into the hobby as self-care from having to people so much, so you guys might not even want to do tours, lol.

[@alex19699]

Nice inspiring video George ! And I hereby recommend your book on aquascaping. Beautiful and very usefull Cheers from Holland

I guess i am the only one freeked out that the tank is on that flimsy looking wicker basket table. Nice job tho. I have a left over small tank like this but i think i am going to turn it into a desert cactus terrarium.

Big up guys. Enjoying the videos. I also love dnb and aquascaping 😀

Great video George! So cool of you to help him out and set up a scape! Can’t wait to see this mature and shrimp in it! And I will be listening to house and dance music on the way home form work as always 😂 my house channel on pandora gets a lot of listening to lately!

[@hootiemike3091]

You like drum and bass?!? bro that's awesome.

[@Lay...]

Like these vids and to see thought process behind it. Started a no-tech nano like this one (30cm) and went with medium intensity light for 6 hours a day for first 4 weeks. Only a bit of expected brown algae on the anubias so far. Went heavy with easy-low-tech plants too (inc floating). Will prob wait 6-8 weeks for sticking shrimp in. Also went with bacteria boost for first 3 weeks and 50% water change once a week.

[@ocilassolrac14]

Hey man 😊 great vid! Inspiring me to start again aquascaping 🤗🤗

[@chrisihouck8393]

Love the tank as usual but I’ve got to say, THAT STORE! I’m quite envious that you have a scaping store (nothing near me) yet at the same time, glad it’s not..my credit would be maxed!

Is that table going to hold, long term???

[@patriclop2pl]

Beautiful scape! Awesome video! Why are some of the 1-2 Grow plants in a fridge and some are not? Is there a particular reason behind this?

[@bt82]

Would you leave the top open like that if putting a betta in? I would be afraid he might jump and the wood out the top makes a lid tricky.

[@cemeke8178]

Beautiful scape George, thanks! What is your water change routine like this tank?

[@heres_the_sauce]

Looks great! Love that you're a dnb fan! Are you familar with Rob Swire's work?

[@epiphyte8646]

While watching your video I was removing seeds of Anthurium scandens from the berries. What would happen if all 40 or so of the seeds were sowed on that "emergent" branch in your tank? Would they germinate? If so, they wouldn't be equally suited to those specific conditions, given that each seedling has somewhat different preferences/tolerances. Nature is all about hedging her bets. She wants to maximize the chances that life will establish somewhere, anywhere. It seemed like you were guessing that your friend might need more light for the tank. Alternatively, in theory it would have been possible for you to hedge your plant selection bets in terms of light requirements. I'm sure this happened to some extent anyways given that the plants that you included don't all have the same exact light requirements. A couple years before covid, my friend who teaches 5th grade and her students had been turning their school in the Los Angeles area into a botanical garden. During covid they couldn't go to the school to water the plants. Recently, around a year later, they returned to school and found that quite a few plants had survived, naturally they were mostly the succulents.
