[@suewestby824]

I like the first one the best.

[@Perikkel]

Tank number #10 is in my opinion the most beautiful. I really love the vast amount of plants in there.

[@emily11444]

The one at 26:00 is absolutely breathtaking!

[@AquascapingCube]

Really beautiful tanks! It's so cool that we can see them all in one video. 1, 2, 5, 12 are my favourite.

[@beastly_brisket_man6249]

5:52 wowzers in my trousers that’s a beautiful tank.

[@hotwater8473]

4, 7, 12 are my favorites. Amazing what these aquascapers can do!

[@Kalayla2512]

The third it is for me. The contrast with light and shadow, man. Looks like a beautiful ancient forest

[@williammcdowell6257]

All impressive, 3 and 14 struck me as naturalistic, some were too contrived for my taste - off centre pathways and tank 6 in particular is not my style at all, stylised forest scenes underwater.

[@AmpsNL]

These nano scapes were definitely my highlight of Vivarium! The water of the scapes were crystal clear!

[@nickbleggi1457]

I love this 🙌🏼 So much inspiration in one video!

[@segdoh]

They’re all wonderful!

[@ozzyheather9242]

Just lovely, much better than TV📺

[@darrenderousse4804]

Beautiful nano scapes! The first was the best! Great hardscape!

[@sriyansampathwijerathne2967]

These nano tanks look insane!!!! Thanks for showing them to us...........

[@MJAquascaping]

No problem 👍

[@ronstrocity]

Finding your channel definitely got me back into the hobby. Love you videos MJ!!

[@MJAquascaping]

That is awesome!

[@kamenidriss]

Second tank is the standout for me. Beautiful

[@marcoaukes]

Stunning footage MJ!

[@MissChelle]

Thanks MJ, enjoyed this with my morning coffee 🇦🇺❤️

[@saravananv1642]

Simply mesmerizing. This video compels me to setup a nano.

[@v_1682]

Wow! Amazing & such inspirational scapes. Fav's I'll say #08 & #12.

[@bz2289]

Agree with the comments. This channel made me love this new hobby of mine, and everything is so informative. Thank you sooo much!

[@NicoKnol]

Very nice tube of the lovely scapes.❤

[@IndoorEcosystem]

So many great tanks but second place was my favourite by a long shot.

[@rickyabdullah4758]

Great aquascape collection

[@jdpartridge]

Love this video. I will be watching it again soon. There is too much to see in one watch.

[@tm_scape]

Thx for this.

[@imitatingnature]

Beautiful! My favourites are 13 and 15, I like the feeling of a ravine in both of them, but with different approaches. Very difficult to achieve in such a small space ;)

[@MrVili83]

Salut, super vidéo qui appaise le corps après une longue journée de travail. Merci pour ton travail super format ^^

[@KamiInValhalla]

Tank #5: wow! Absolutely beautiful Tank #13: very nice. I would lower the water level a bit to create a terrarium with some vampire crabs and tetras.

[@xPapio]

REALLY like tank 7, nurse log vibe with the grass underneath is stunning

[@vugtsfrank1]

Thank you

[@dianejordan8852]

ALL OF THEM ARE SO BEARUTIFUL...I FOR ONE LOVE THEM ALL !!!! . I an working on one right now like this one but a 20 gallon.. Been doing this for over one year right now....

[@ivanvoice1]

6 and 12 for sure. Best regards!

[@BigShrimpin416]

10 was my favorite and 14 was my second choice!

[@adnanmukaddam1]

1 st scape is the best of all for me

[@fredetorek6567]

#4, great work!

[@petervandieren]

Love them all but for me tank #2 stands out.

[@michaelhoremans1337]

Ik vond de eerste echt het mooiste. 😍

[@AHGAQUATICS]

All stunning and interesting great video MJ if I had to pick one it would be 3rd place

[@pieterboersma5518]

Super high tech video

[@hardouindenis9530]

Amazing ! When i saw some tanks with so much plants in 3 month ! I suppose they use some personal plants too but i'm jealous (after, no living stock inside so they could put the co2 very hight). Congrats to all.

[@sydneysangels]

I gotta get my hands on one of those new Oase HOB filters! Beautiful work as always MJ!

[@victornaesens]

I have one and i find that they are a bit noisy…

[@sydneysangels]

@@victornaesens Good to know! I've heard differently from other people so now I'm conflicted lol. I'll probably have to try one out for myself and if it's too noisy it'll just go down to the fish room

[@victornaesensprive4488]

@@sydneysangels I had one in my bedroom and I couldn't sleep with it. So yeah I replaced it with a filtosmart 100. But the HOB is still a very good filter

[@sydneysangels]

@@victornaesensprive4488 oh okay that's good to know. I appreciate the info 🙂 worse case scenario it will just be a super fancy fish room filter haha

[@voidreflection5935]

Tank 12 is by favourite by far. Great perspective. But for my sense the left and right side is in competition.

[@the_underwater_nature7643]

Wow🎉

[@deskjockie4948]

Beautiful tanks! I hope they got fish at some point!

[@drybie]

Amazing creativity. Man playing God.

[@jeremymcarthur7855]

Tank #4 is by far my favorite. Do you have any more in depth videos on that one?

[@piter-bueno]

Top😍😍😍

[@moconnor6275]

Love 14, just needed light at the end of the little tunnel.

[@plantlover69]

tank 4 and tank 12 are the best

[@jacquesperrot5407]

Magnifique 👍. Mes preferes 1 3 5 6 12

[@aquashrimp4099]

The one is beautiful 🇫🇷🔥💪😉🌱 0:01 2:07

[@praveenguttal5749]

Sir, please make a video on how to grow land moss in an aquarium

[@theviolentone]

14:24 my favourite Brazilianstyle/diorama/iwagumi

[@victornaesensprive4488]

This scape won the tournament

[@mermaidsdragonsnl2592]

Oohhhh balen!! Heb de beurs gemist. In mijn hoofd was het elk jaar in november. Maar kan er naast zitten na die 2 jaar dat het niet door ging.. Maar wat zijn ze allemaal prachtig!

[@stefanaugust2728]

beautiful tanks, very inspiring. me personally, I miss the fish. for me the hobby is still about keeping healthy, beautiful fish in the first place. sometimes I get the feeling that aquascaping puts all the effort only in rocks, wood and plants.

[@MJAquascaping]

Yeah would have been nice to see some fish in here, but it would be too stressful for them as well

[@eddie7763]

prob too stressfull indeed, the tanks there were only there for about 2-3 days, when it was 5pm and everyone started leaving the first tanks were already being broken down, only the top 3 of the contest got to keep their sponsored aquascape

[@Chichibubu99]

Fish provide movement and dynamism, in contrast to the stability and staticity provided by hardscape and plants. unfortunately fish will get stressed if included during the exhibition

[@nemofknfish]

Erg mooi om te zien. Goede inspiratie voor mijn eigen scape. Hoeveel liter aquasoil heb ik nodig voor een aquarium van 40x50x50? Beplanting is vooral mossoorten en naaldgras. Eventueel wat hogere planten op de achtergrond. Is 3 liter voldoende?

[@itsThijsyo]

Saw them in real life at vivarium last saturday! I really liked tank 10. I really wanted an ID on the fern on the left side of the aquarium, on the right side of the "stump". It looks like a bolbitis but with round leaves.

[@MJAquascaping]

I think its Spleenwort - Hymenasplenium obscurum

[@BigShrimpin416]

10 was my favorite as well!

[@karlcoyote6882]

In Tank No. 4, what is the name of the emers plants, Asparagus? Never saw before. Wow.

[@gallardo20000]

i've never really been a fan of nano tanks, you do the same maintenance as a larger tank but they are much more delicate and difficult to work on.

[@aurikarusnak8872]

😍😍😍👍👍👍

[@MsDF936]

I'd give anything for a tank like #12!

[@stevesz1870]

Are those beautiful tank without co2?

[@Charles-bd5qi]

The one that won 1st place is my least favourite! First and 5th ones are very cool.

[@ThatanOmega]

Is that twinstar b-line? I didn’t know it could grow advanced plants? They market it as a fish and shrimp light… I really wanted to buy the 45p kit from Strideway but was out off by the light.

[@blkpik6746]

Hi MJ, will java moss grow like your moss scaping method?

[@MJAquascaping]

It should yes! Maybe just a bit more wild

[@adamtuts6253]

what brand of lamp and filter do you use?

[@tonyejay385]

Amazing tanks with healthy plants ! Does anybody has the name of the plants in the foreground in tank 11 ??! I Will order it

[@Lee-re1by]

🐠🐟

[@georgeyboyhowe1685]

3rd place is brilliant like looking through a forest

[@williammcdowell6257]

All very impressive, but some too unnatural for me. Tank 3 and 14 for me joint winners - very subjective business to judge I accept. Tank 12 has a great sense of depth. Without fish I'm not sure I get the total glimpse of nature feel. But great content Mark, thanks for sharing and filming so expertly and adding sympathetic music.

[@beastly_brisket_man6249]

16:27 was genius. He hid all of the equipment inside of the aquarium.

[@zefzef2745]

the one at 5.48 OMAGOD

[@victornaesens]

How did the plants grew so good with that type of light? And the reds… 😮

[@MJAquascaping]

I'm sure some people used different lights at home

[@Chichibubu99]

believe it or not, Twinstar B is a powerful light. Coupled with nitrate limitation, you can make Rotala h'ra and similar low-demanding red plants red

[@poormansgarden6417]

light and filter all same? wow. im starting to like that hob filter..

[@MJAquascaping]

Yeah the contest was supported by twinstar and oase

[@beastly_brisket_man6249]

Ok 18:31 is crazy

[@seejus6131]

What kind of wood it is in the first scape?

[@MJAquascaping]

No idea sorry

[@hungvuong8442]

#7

[@BellumAngelus]

Hello 👋🏼 I have a quick question on your DIY co2 system. what's the biggest size aquarium you'd recommend for the 2 litre bottle measurements?

[@MJAquascaping]

Depends a little bit on the setup and how much light is on the tank, but if we are talking about intense lighting I would say max 60cm medium light 90cm and low light 120cm

[@BellumAngelus]

@@MJAquascaping appreciate you taking the time to answer 🙂

[@Minwealwen]

Does anyone know the name of the stem plant in tank #1? The one in the middle of the background with the orange/red tips? It looks so beautiful in there!

[@MJAquascaping]

Juncus repens! It's a green plant, but with high light and lean dosing it turns a nice red color!

[@Minwealwen]

@@MJAquascaping That's crazy, I would have never guessed that! Thank you! :)

[@geraldoyo1]

I HAD TO WATCH IS 3 TIMES! My favorite was #4, then # 3. Which entry was yours?

[@MJAquascaping]

I did not participate 😊

[@leedibiasio9229]

In the first scape, what is the pink/red fern-like plant in the upper left corner? Thanks

[@AquascapingCube]

I think it's Hygrophila pinnatifida. It turns this color in good conditions.

[@victornaesens]

But with that type of light , it’s not strong at all

[@MJAquascaping]

Yep pinnatifida!

[@xiaomitakahara188]

Who could participate and under what conditions (entry fee?) if participants gets full set for 3 months.

[@MJAquascaping]

Basically anyone could participate, with no fee! The only requirement was that you pick up the full set from aquaflora headquarters

[@jorisvd2762]

My favorite scape was on the Azaqua stand ;-)

[@MJAquascaping]

😎

[@ListenAndWhisper]

how the heck did #10 lose to the one that got 1st place?

[@ehralozana27]

WHAT SIZE ARE THESE TANKS??

[@MJAquascaping]

45x30x27cm

[@dgrwd]

The music reminds me of everytime by Britney Spears 🤣

[@classychandu5090]

First 🥇

[@Dingleb0p42]

They were all amazing, and better than anything I could do, but the first place scape was not nearly as creative as a lot of the others imo

[@bigben8369]

No fish or shrimp? Not even snails? Without animals they feel empty, unfinished.

[@MJAquascaping]

Yeah I agree! Contest rules unfortunately

[@TruthAndTattoos]

I gotta say without any fish, these tanks have a very similar vibe to an uncanny valley kind of feeling. The designs are stunning, but it just doesn't quite sit right with ur psyche. It's like they feel kind of dead or abandoned or something.
