[@dannettepeters1507]

Just wow! Amazing how good the scape and plants look, after such an extensive trimming. Your scissor skills are remarkable!

[@fabiocorte6538]

Your tanks are just inspiring!!! Next week will start a 60P Dutch style just because of you

[@saturnslipper]

It was such a relief to see the water change. Don't know how the fish felt, but I was grateful for it!

[@jackanddan]

Absolutely beautiful and meticulous care....👍

[@bartosztomasz]

Sir what's your experience with trimming stem plants like rotala? Once you have desired density and height do you trim at the same height each time? Or do you trim seven times and then trim all the way to the ground and replant? I wonder if I can trim "infinitely" at the very tips of the plants. So far I have been trimming and replanting what I trimmed but I actually have reached enough density that I can't replant cuttings anymore. But if a trimmed plant gets cut, it releases two stems. Then four and so on. But if I trim at the same height each time I will infinitely trim at the "two-bud". Will the plant regrow just tip to be two again or will it stop growing and I will have to cut all the way down anyways? I can't explain what I mean properly, I hope you understand my question. Let's say I have 10 stem plants in a new tank. My goal is having 20 stems. First trimming will give me +10 that I will replant. Then I will end up with 10 stems with double buds and 10 new stems. A total of 30. Can I infinitely cut 30 plants at the same level to have 30 buds all the time or will I end up with deformed or stunted plants?

[@mkiel1981]

Love your videos. Relaxing and i learn alot. Can we have more videos on maintenance. Thanks. Keep it up

[@Tropictank]

Thank you Kiel ✌️

Hi!! what fertilizer routine do you have? only with tropica premium?

[@mehranhoseini8063]

very nice my friend👍

[@nguyenvanson7072]

very nice

[@Tropictank]

Thank you🙂

[@Yarky1]

Great videos and even better tanks. I hope one day mine gets so clean and beautyfull. Some questions. You use Tropica fertilicers as myself. You use only the brown one? Dont you lack N and P? You dose it only once a week after the waterchange? I space it myself and maybe is a mistake. Do you dose anything more? Thanks

[@Tropictank]

Thank you Yarky, Mostly I use premium one. Depends on plants and their condition sometimes I use specialized also. Are use them daily.

[@edstaart8548]

Stunning ,very nice tank, Dutch is my favorite but I can't get the plants as bushy on the bottom, I know replant the cuttings but than still a lot of bare stem on the bottom. Do you have an idea for me to do better? Great tank but if I do such a trimming its total loss. Thanks for sharing.from a Dutch guy.

[@ausdavid]

Fantastic video mate, really inspiring. I have a question if you don't mind, how did you get your pogostemon helferi to grow vertically? Is there a rock behind it or it naturally grows upwards like that. (I've never owned that plant before). Thanks heaps =)

[@Tropictank]

Thank you AusDave. They are attached and growing on lava rock :)

[@TwilightRests]

Great video! Just have some questions: What size is your tank? What fish do you have stocked? If you weren't dosing CO2 do you think the tank would still grow as lush?

[@focanorole110]

Incrível!!

[@kcrisos]

What did you attach your pogostemon helferi to? Your arrangement is nice

[@nonymous555]

Wow that pogostemon, you tied it on wood/rocks or just plant it in soil? How to make it bushes like yours? 🤩

[@Tropictank]

attached on rock

[@nonymous555]

Your tank very gorgeous sir, your video inspired me a lot. Fan from Malaysia ☑️

[@anthonytanti6209]

Wow, mesmerising. Thanks for the excellent content you share. Two quick questions. Are you using RO water and at what temperature do you keep the tank?

[@Tropictank]

Thank you Anthony, I use tap water. Temp. around 24 C

[@luisvazquez755]

What type of solutions are you using for your plants ?They look amazing!

[@Tropictank]

Just fertilizer

[@Riiosanjaya]

Still mystery and secrets for me, how to make pogostemon helferi grow like this.. I hope for next video, its mystery can revealed 😁

[@saturnpasrond22]

Simply, if they don't get enough light, or if they are fighting other plant, Pogostemon Helferi will try to grow upward. I had the same "issue" in one tank. (W. aqua sky light )

[@Tropictank]

👍🙂

Bonjour, Juste magnifique qu'elle est la taille de l'aquarium ainsi qu'elle est la rampe d'éclairage et le temps d'éclairage. Merci pour votre réponse.

[@Kapybaraaa]

How do you get good growth like that when lower parts of the background stem plants leaves are covered by the midground plants? Is it strong lighting? It's so dense and even the stem plants are covering each other near the top

[@c.a.s4822]

Amazing as always. What fertilizer did you use in the end?

[@Tropictank]

Tropica

[@szabocsaba3821]

Beautiful aquarium :) Do you reduce fertilizer dosing after a big trim like this?

[@Tropictank]

Actually it’s almost the same

[@SandBar1998]

Nice scape ! What Rotala’s are used here? Thank you.

Dosage changes almost every week Depending on plants and general aquarium conditions!

hi Erkut, I've had a really nice and red Rotala VietNam H'ra bunch; however, after 4-6 weeks they slowly turned into green or light red color. I didn't use CO2 and the light is not very strong. Can you please give me some suggestions why this happened to me? Thank you in advance.
