[sasexe13]

Very good one. Do you use CO2?

[SouIessSpirit]

Nice, would definately use yours as a reference for my bichir tank.

Btw how much gallon is this tank?

[boss5468]

looks great! i really want a freshwater set up again. I do saltwater now but I would love to do a planted tank like this. Nice set up!

[mdubi687]

If I get an aquarium, I will set it up like the arcade game the ocean hunter



[MrRawrllyX]

What size is your tank?

[LfcHigham]

get some fish you tramp

[Kanishlal01]

where did you get the light hood? the open kind I dont know what its called?

[bc4527]

@Kanishlal01 That light is just Current USA Nova Extreme fixture. It comes with those adjustable mounting legs.

@bc4527 Hello bc4527. I simply wanted to congratulate you on this beautifully set-up aquarium! Your use of fore-ground plants, background plants with the height difference', rockery set-up and bog-wood is stunning! And given that this is your very first planted set-up, illustrates, without an atom of doubt, your talent! Your vid is much appreciated. Best wishes. Ebs

[MemphsTgr]

man, im no expert, but it looks like you nailed it for a first timer....

[InvisibleJune]

hey wered you get all these plants?

[Ronnierayv]

Im just starting my first planted tank as well. Yours looks great, good luck!

[risko1100]

thats awesome!!! how many galons its your tank???

[cskang08]

it looks like the natural habitat of the fishes,nice.

[razoredge435]

simply lovely. i like ur selection of plants. ur placement of driftwood is very nice. may i suggest adding some amano shrimp and malaysian trumpet snails. they will help with cleaning the tank. they are good when it comes to dead plant matter like old leaves.

[Sypha14]

Yeah I agree with buttlord123

[DSchwapp]

that tank could be so cool but u need more exotic fish and some inverts

[buttlord123]

cool tank....get a school of cardinals in there and it would be awesome

[bogishko]

the best tank ever!

[bc4527]

Thanks for the compliment, but... I can't take full credit because I've had to remove some of the plants since they started to crowd each other out. And now I'm finding it more difficult than I thought it would be to properly prune them and keep them looking good. I'm waiting until I can get it looking better again before I post a new video.

[thelittlebsl]

you have to trim the plants bout once every 2 weeks. divide the plants, if u have a planted aquarium the best way to keep them togethor and not intervening with other plants. like little nets like the ones that are on net scoopers. find the material and cut it and put it in between plant bundles. i had 70 gal well planted,10 gal salt and 10 gal fresh,two 5 gals

[MokuPueo]

Amazing 5/5

[LamQuocBao]

Nice setup! Hoping to make mine look as good as yours in the near future :)

[hrapkoj]

where did you get that wood in the tank looks cool

[bc4527]

Thanks, I just collected it at a nearby lake.

[pauloninja85]

Very nice tank,how many hours do you have your lights on,whats the capacity of the tank in gallons?if i were you ill try some plants with some red leaves to provide some contrast and if i might try Co2,but i think you are doing fine for now,nice work :)

[bc4527]

Thank you! It's about 65 gallons (240L). The lights are on right now for 7 hours a day. I actually order a reddish plant when I bought them, but they were sold out and sent me a replacement. I'm hesitant to add any plants right now because I finally got rid of the snails, and I want to add some shrimp.

[netweit3]

really nice! where do you buy your fish?

[bc4527]

Thanks! Just the local fish store. I've added some since then.  I'm planning to update with a new video soon.

[bc4527]

Thanks! After setting it up I realized how hard it actually is to make it look like what I had in mind!

[JustinRex]

well i like this tank! Its alot better then some peoples on here! Including my own! haha Great tank :)
