Awesome tank man!

[exxcel19]

hey dustin i always wondered why when looking at planted aquariums that i see they have those little hills and small dips.Is this so some of the waste dips so the roots can get it or is basically just for show?Also please check out my videos and tell me what you think/.also be nice my camera has sucky audio.

[Gdaleballer2]

[BowTiesAreCool22]

@WIPLQA

somebody woke up on the rong side of the bedthis morning!

[ruckaisawesome]

hm... ur plants on the right seem greener than on the left. still, quite a nice tank :)

[chicktapus33]

@ruckaisawesome i think that might be because the plants are taller over there and are close to the light wich is getting a light green/yellow tint because of hte duckweed and algae.

[mkh4n]

@dustinsfishtanks my mate I didn't sleep all night cos I watched all ur video lol. Man im so jealous of wish I could have that many tank!

Thank you ever so much. Oh by the way please see my video that I've done last night after seeing ur video.

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@mkh4n haha, sleep up, your gonna need the rest when you get a bunch more tanks. Do me a favor and post a video reply so I can check it out?

[mkh4n]

Mate I need help asap.

I have a 50 gallon tank. Keeping cold water fishes. Now here the thing, I want to turn my tank from normal to planted. So I've ordered 60 plant which gonna arrive in few days. Now I didnt know that I would have to add anything to keep them goin. I live in Uk and those plant substrate r gonna cost me 30quid to do it! Is there any alternative such as like putting soil under my coral sand?

Please help me out..

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@mkh4n i have about 60 videos on doing dirt in the planted tank,,,all of my tanks are like this...go to fishtanktv com or PM me and I'll send you some links..check out video #10 for how I dirted this 220

[thegeorgyboy411]

Hey whats up? I have 2 55 gallon aquariums. And one I just set up and Im putting live plants in it. I have a 4 lamp T5 HO light fixture its 216W. I was wondering if you use CO2 because I just want to use substrates because CO2 setups are a lot of money. Let me know

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@thegeorgyboy411 i don't use CO2. just dirt in my tanks which gives off a little co2, substrate first....thats the key

[schtals]

Dunnoo.. imho natural planted tank could be even fuller. Kinda like that sword tho'. I wouldn rip it out. maybe it looks different in life, but on camera: thats the focal point - something that really makes sense in that aquascape. The rest of it just looks

. I'd even plant a diiferent, massive sword on the right side to hide that nasty lookin pump.

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@schtals this video wasn't set up to show the space. i should have taken all of that pump crap out for it.... I've got ludwigia on the mind ...;) bright red busting outta the middle...yumyum

[schtals]

@Dustinsfishtanks Massive and lush Ludvigia might be awesome. Im working with Ludvigia Glandiosa at the moment. In my case it's got great red at the top, but I'd like to see more healthy leaves at the botttom. To be honest, large planted sections of singe species look better in my point of view. Yess, God in the details, bet there is also something special about the tanks that have less species, clear composition and healthy growth.

[exmas2006]

i hate aquascaping ...natural planted rules

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@exmas2006 what do you mean? Just throw throw plants in?

[exmas2006]

@Dustinsfishtanks yeah just making sure that long plants are at the backround and medium,short in front :)

[nicofish1000]

I think you should try a amphitheater thing like amano does.take out some of the plants from the middle and pu them at both sides and then plant up the back of the middle.

[BusaFalconer]

"YO MAN CHECK OUT MY AQUASCAPE, I DON'T LIKE IT" You are doing Ohio University proud son!

[nikhilphillips]

Great video man! i just signed up on fishtanktv . its amazing! do you do chat there?

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@nikhilphillips i try to.... its kinda wild west for me!

[maplestar67]

How did you put garlic in your fish food?

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

you know bro i actually agree maybe some jungle vaul or something in the back somethign tall and skinny in place of the sword

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@samuelwaynefoleyjr Ludwigia!!! some sweet narrow leaf or something

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@samuelwaynefoleyjr Ludwigia!!! some sweet narrow leaf or something

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

@Dustinsfishtanks i've got cherry hedge ludwigia i love the stuff bro

[AquaJtang]

This aquascape is sope, is like a woodland forest look to the left and more of a subtropical in the right. and a "jungle in the middle

[Dustinsfishtanks]
