Watching you scape these tanks is a relaxing experience my friend.

I often find myself re-watching your scaping videos to help alleviate the any stress when I don't find myself around an actual planted tank to observe. There's just something cathartic about staring into a nicely planted tank with fish, that soothes the soul.

The combination of fluid motion and sound have already been scientifically proven to reduce daily stressors in one's life. Planted aquariums capture this effect in whole and help introduce those "feel-good chemicals" such as dopamine to the body - thereby helping to alleviate stress in some individuals.

On a side note - I think a fun scaping experiment would be the involvement of kids. Take your average sandbox that children often play in and add some wood and rocks off to the side. Tell the children to scape the sandbox using those items set off to the side and see what their limitless imagination creates. You could have a BBQ and invite your friends w/ kids over and let them loose. I'm sure some inspiration will transpire in no time.

Keep up the good work my friend.

George Farmer I get my plants delivered from there and saw the lights on the website
Will be ordering from them as the plants have all been superb ..

Yes, great lights! Look into buying from Aquarium Gardens. If you’re interested I also do aquascaping installation and training.

Great looking scape George! I,m looking forward to seeing how the hydrocotyle verticulata grows in, could be a contender for my new, upcoming scape.

Nice scape. Why don’t you put the filter pipework on the back so it’s not direct at the front of the tank?

The stems will fill the background and obstruct flow as well as look ugly being “blown” over

Great video George, one of your best. You seem to always cover so much information that includes beginner as well as more advanced but without losing the overall feel of the video. Favourite part of this scape is the wood and I am looking forward to seeing the Hydrocotyle verticillata grow in, I've used that plant once before and it's very under used in my view.

What is the best substrate for set up with carpeting that also can last long in the tank?

Hi George, After planting what did you spray on it ? Is it any fertilizer ?
Priten Patel
Priten Patel - 6 years ago
Sajid Mohamed it’s just water to keep the plants from drying out until the tank is filled with water.

I've been following your setups for quite some time and have found inspiration in them. I've been doing aqua scaping for a few years now and have hosted a few workshops. The Aqua scaping scene in South Africa is still in its infancy but more people are getting into it. Thanks for being an example of what's possible. Keep scaping!

Dude we must be on the same wavelength. My scape is going to very similar to this one minus the Manzanita. Crypts, Monte, Hairgrass, Tropica soil. Even bought an inline dimmer for my Twinstar E series. I am using the George Farmer method for my next setup. Stay tuned. Thanks for the video. Great content and editing.
