'Tributary' Aquascape by James Findley - The Making Of

[@TurtleTankVideos]

Incredible aquascape. Tributary and Reciprocity are the best layouts on KZbin by a million miles. Looking forward to your next big tank video.

[@manoslykos]

The amazing James Findley.I love to see you working.Thanks for that piece of Art.

[@brendanmkavanaugh]

I think it is even better than Reciprocity, the detail is amazing! You the man James!

[@jztouch]

I can't wait to do one of these! You guys are such an inspiration! Makes me feel like a kid again gazing in wonder at the minnows and caddis flies in the creek next to my house where I grew up!

[@PhilGrady]

I am glad you guys uploaded this video, as I plan to aquascape my 100 gallon acrylic using a similar style. As usual incredible aquascape. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@difrent7]

Amazing work! All of your tanks are absolutely flawless.

[@TheGreenMachineLtd]

Sorry about that... James works fast once he is in his 'aquascaping zone' and sadly our camera guy didn't catch him doing the hardscape on this one. Our more recently filmed videos don't miss anything out though :)

[@marcinmorris]

this is the most beautyful setup I have ever seen :) I really like these long and wide aquariums

[@NYC420OZONE]

I could see that happening James is a genius.

[@alliegill256]

after watching your videos i was so pumped i went out to beach and few lakes got all the plants and put them all together in my aquarium and now ...it ...it..just doesn't look anywhere as close as how i thought it might look :3 :3

[@fishcutie588]

I would like to see more smaller Aquascapes. Not many of us have room for a 1,600 litre aquarium. So more smaller aquarium designs like this are welcome viewing.

[@valeriestanglova3855]

I think this one is about 70 litres

[@stavroulaxar187]

Yes, only 72 litres...!!!

[@sirjayfernandez7662]

hello TGM.. I LOVE YOUR WORKS! i really really love all of it.. very artistic and full of imagination.. hope i can do one of this someday to put it inside my house.. more power guys...:))

[@mamamehlawey]

Simply beautiful James nice work!

[@obliviousthunder]

i love this tank! about to begin my first aquascape, not sure what plant i should choose yet tho lol

[@rafesor]

One of the most breathtaking projects I`ve ever seen, and I`ve seen them a lot. So many details in rather small aquarium. Thanks to the proportions and the choose of plants it looks just outstanding. Never thought that shallow tank can be so detailfull. In this case the small high of the tank is its biggest advantage. Now I`ve got a new inspiration for new project. May I ask if You added later on any micro/macronutrient, any special treatment to the plants besides substrate and CO2?

[@Peachwhaler26]

I really really loved this one, my new favorite.

[@TheGreenMachineLtd]

Sorry- we haven't added up the total cost, but you can find all the items on our website... follow the links in the description.

[@MrRvbrown]

I love this setup!! Awesome tank!! My fav!!

[@GGRetroRally]

Hi Guys, I've tried an open top tank but suffered with a lot of evaporation when doing weekly water changes and not only that started to peel the wall paper away because of it. I've had to go to a 250L and 125 closed top tanks. How do you guys get over the problem with open top tanks?

[@ybra]

I love this one, my favorite by far. How much does a setup like this cost?

[@Flyer-og2yh]

whats the best looking and quickest growing carpet plant for a iwagumi setup iv seen james do some setups but you dont say what carpet plants he uses which is the best and quickest growning?

[@patrickwellerwrites]

personally i like the substrating, it really sets a tone for the tank with the color and the chape and height in which it is put in

[@younginng3661]

My future inspiration.. :) you guys are awesome

[@INMORTUS]

Simply beautiful

[@TheGreenMachineLtd]

ADA Aqua Soil granules and powder are made up of the same material exactly... its simply a different aesthetic look and it is easier to plant small rooted plants (such as Hemianthus, Staurogyne, Glossostigma) in powder type because there is more grip due to it's larger surface area.

[@BeerBellyDK]

Such an amazing tank!

[@briansfishtanks]

Very nice scape!

[@DavidARambo]

Greetings,,, I have a question for you. I see that you use several layers of different substrait, I really see the benefit of the under layer substrait when the top layer is thin and the plants roots can reach down to access the nutrients of the bottom layer, but when you bank up the top layer 4, 5, or even 6 inches high, what is the real benefit of the lower under layer substrait if the roots never gain access to it? Just curious.

[@makiceni]

Hello, What is the plastic used by James to separate the sand from the aquasoil? I want to do the same job but I do not know with what ... thank you

[@dernoeler]

Incredible aquascape

[@mario37095]

hola..tus productos los podre encontrar en chile?

[@don-of-onrice9630]

This is an art style unique altogether. It looks expensive though.

[@Tom-nq3ho]

Please show us maintenence of this tank, how do you clean the powdered type substrate and not remove it or the hairgrass?

[@sidl8698]

why does he leave the rock wool on the hc when placing on the wood? Does he have to take it out after it growns in?

[@josuecallejas5411]

Is there any display with medium size fish to complement the aquascapes?

[@aurelius421]

Alvaro Callejas Usually nature aquariums/serious aquascapes focus little.on the fish and more on the environment.

[@marcucristian80]

Will the cat fish or Cory will damage your substrate or the carpeting plants? Thanks

[@jonmetcalf1904]

Thanks, great tank and Info!

[@jkirk3348]

Wish i had his skill and eye for aquascaping.

[@EarthStation888]

My favorite design

[@jeremiemcd]

Nice scape, good layout,

[@febionline]

@TheGreenMachineLtd I'm planning to build a shallow aquarium of size 180cm length and 60cm wide for gold fishes. What should be the ideal height for the aquarium? Pls reply

[@TheGreenMachineLtd]

TGM Substrate Supports... find them on our website.

[@manjakoppel]

Wow, was ist das für eine Holz?

[@jrhodes470]

MORE VIDEOS PLEASE!!!!

[@drdoolittlefishhobbyist6055]

Where can I get shallow tanks from in the uk. I'm trying to find a 120 by 30 by 15 as used in your video.

[@MysterXfr]

i would like make an aquascape, but i've only a juwel lido 120 and 60€ (51.69£) budget. Can you give me some advice for my project please?

[@Johnnymagnet92]

I'd love to be taken on as James' apprentice or something like that. It would practically be my dream career, but...where to start?

[@romeoafs8943]

can u make a list for me? about all those stuff, i want make one same as that tank too

[@robertwood2981]

uncycled aqua soil? What do you mean by that?

[@robertwood2981]

Oh, i see now. Thank-you.

[@TheGreenMachineLtd]

This is correct, if planting straight away (before cycling) you should do a 50% water change on a daily basis for at least two weeks, otherwise the ammonia will 'melt' many species of aquatic plants and is also lethal to livestock. Once cycled however, you will have a highly efficient and functional filtration system which has been helped and accelerated by the use of this product.

[@robertwood2981]

Thank-you

[@henkemenke]

TheGreenMachineLtd So we can first cycle and than plant our plants? That way we can avoid alage?

[@Butterfly_Art_Studio]

I would love to see a shallow tank with water lilys or tiger lotus, especially in a tank like this

[@tanmaysekhar6839]

what lights are used?

[@DW7887]

mmh, why are the plants above water level missing in the grown scape? Didn´t it work?

[@patrickwellerwrites]

you can buy them from tgm or you can make them out of some harder plastic document protectors

[@patrickwellerwrites]

hi tgm, this is a truly amazing scape. I wish i could get a rimless tank for cheaper than the ADA prices. But i guess you get what you pay for right :D. besides ADA subbstrates i want to ask if you have tried any others like flourite or eco complete. i would also like you guys' opinion on CO2 and if it is always necessary. thnx guys, your amazing and keep up the good work!!!

[@epicnas12342]

Do u use rodi water

[@Mrmomtanks]

great video

[@sseamless]

Hello, you may expose a list of all materials used including quantities?, So that it's easier to make purchases in your store and make a replica of this wonderful work. Would be very important for me since I live in Colombia and I would play to manage the import of all products and perform multiple imports increases costs me. I appreciate your kind attention.

[@christian5o523]

[@romeoafs8943]

y I don't see that tank's size or price?

[@romeoafs8943]

on ur website?

[@MrRangerZr1]

OMG so nice

[@aquariumfanatic9632]

My favorite one

[@akhileshthapa_fishbro86]

Brilliant.

[@TheGreenMachineLtd]

We don't have a problem with this and just top up aquariums when needed.

[@1987eduedu]

why shouldn't the substrate turn anaerobic? isn't anaerobic bacteria that turns nittrates into nitrogen?

[@tatangsuryana455]

keren sekali bang

[@gattatassella8416]

Meraviglioso

[@boredcv4133]

Exito!

[@INMORTUS]

hermoso

[@cokersatm]

9:01 The brown is mixing with the white sand. Lol, he messed up there :P

[@bohne4703]

hmm, kinda self-defeating showing the final result in the beginning of the video.. totally kills the surprise effect imo. but apart from that it's a very good video. :)

[@TheGreenMachineLtd]

We know what you mean, but it serves as an incentive to non-aquascapers to continue watching until the end. Hopefully we can grow this hobby like our plants!

[@adrianryland5243]

TheGreenMachineLtd i need help im young and i want to do just what you do. you inspired me and i bought a aquariu.. Then i wanted another now i hawe 7 aquariums and i want to lern more abaout aqua scaping. do you have some tips.

[@IncurZeAwperator]

KALIBRAH productions keep going. get as many plants as you can. plants plants plants. sure, get cool fish, but with the planted tank hobby, get as mant plants as you can. with fish, you want to buy them sparingly. but not plantss.

[@sharonbendtsen2973]

I disagree this is a tutorial to show and explain how it was done

[@harunarrasyid1349]

👍👍👍

[@SchnitzlerxXx]

Fuck me, this is killer!

[@ScrewDrvr]

Why did you skip the hardscape construction? Thats one of the main things that people want to see. Skip the pouring of sand...not the hardscape construction.....

[@woutervanteerling]

time for new once

[@benlunn4006]

you can grow plants in sand, i have and i still do.....

[@ptolemy7918]

Absolutely beautiful but the voiceover by a scouser on Valium reading from a 12 year olds school essay really detracts from the aesthetic as a whole.

[@stateniland]

a nightmare to suction

[@gnomemail]

with 60 euros you wont get far, you'd have to scavenge outside for rocks. use cheap substrate. and driftwood is also very expensive (about 30euros for 1kg of it) goodluck

[@sangsanga7403]

Worst scape ever made by james
