Wonderful technic of using green line to position the hard scape. Thank for sharing with us, i will do the same way in my next planted tank.

I've never seen someone use cat litter in an aquarium before despite being quite interested in planted tanks.
Does it not pollute the water?
What's the purpose of it?

vakmacska123 - 8 years ago

+Hannah Park It is zeolite. Similar to expensive filter media like seachem matrix. It's a great habitat for beneficial soil bacteria.

alianisz - 10 years ago

Something important i want to ask all experienced reef keepers, does adding a thick layer of gravel going to help curb down nitrates or do the opposite ?

Mikebiscuits - 10 years ago

keeping a layer of gravel or ADA power sand helps to keep the planting substrate from becoming compacted which in turn makes it anaerobic (this is bad because it causes harmful gases to build up and release into the aquarium).

Mike Kollin - 10 years ago

I take it you are not in the United States?
The reason I ask is because those bags of cat litter and sand look of a different country with KG, etc. on them…
So is it just basic cat litter and what kind of sand?

Thanks!

P.s. or do they sell that sand and litter here in the U.S.?

darkiee69 - 8 years ago

The cat litter is a zeolite based one. I don't think that particular brand is sold in the US, but you can probably find a similar one.

there is a lot different types off rocks, that u van use for this syle choose the one u like more

ShinyGoldBacon - 11 years ago

Don't the nutrients run out eventually? Do you need to redo the whole tank when that happens?

Christopher S. - 11 years ago

What rocks were those and are they expensive?

AquaticDesign - 11 years ago

It contains nutrients

AquaticDesign - 11 years ago

Thanks, from a web shop in Germany

Piett K - 11 years ago

Nice!! I only have one question, whats the cat litter for?? Thanks

Andy Sargrad - 11 years ago

this is really nice and helpful, where do you get those rocks?

Ettie Bellefontaine - 11 years ago

SHOW SOME RESPECT PEOPLE! (for all the rude comments)

ADU Aquascaping - 11 years ago

wow, nice video views , how does this have so many views!? You must be happy about that. Great job on the tank.

AquaticDesign - 11 years ago

I decided that it would look nicer if I formed the substrate to bigger hills.

Jay Evangelista - 11 years ago

Sorry sir, forgive my ignorance. It just seems like you put all the rocks and then decided to re-do it? Why'd you do that?

AquaticDesign - 11 years ago

Why would I cut something out, I wanted to show how it was done.

Jay Evangelista - 11 years ago

from 2:20 to 6:05 you just put the rocks in and then decided to re-do it. Why didn't you just cut that portion out of the video? I don't get it

AQUADESIGN by aquamaniac - 11 years ago

You sure know the importance of a good hardscape design.too bad not everyone here understands it.

Marcel Mester - 11 years ago

anthony la morte - 11 years ago

1000 days if needed'm beautiful cat litter? that's new to me

Paul parfait - 11 years ago

where did you buy the rock?

TheJonroy - 11 years ago

The log is releasing Tannins. You need to soak it in some type of tube for several weeks to minimize them. It will work best in hot water. If you have a filter, they will eventually start to go away with normal water changes. They aren't necessarily bad either. I know for a lot of freshwater fish, they are beneficial. Can't speak on behalf of turtles however.

naattik - 11 years ago

This is simply great !!! I'm inspired. Could you suggest any other links or website on how to build something like this, I'm planning to get a 10Gallon tank. Any help is appreciated !! I'm sure you must've done a lot of research on this !!!!

MaelstromFilm - 11 years ago

This shit is art...

AquaticDesign - 11 years ago

No, it's just added directly to the water.

AquaticDesign - 11 years ago

Because I'm changing the substrate level.

sufi adib - 11 years ago

when u apply liquid fertilizer is it you mixed ADA sand ? could u give me detail My email orc.adeep@yahoo.com

ZoLoBMF - 11 years ago

Hei mate why r u removing the stones all the time (sounds rude but im actually asking). I want to make one but im a terrarium fan so i dont know much about how to make aquariums look nice. By the way, very good job. I luv it

AquaticDesign - 11 years ago

No, only the first layer

najhan D Pontian - 11 years ago

are you using cat litter for second layer???

AquaticDesign - 11 years ago

Look again. I use liquid fertilizers too.

sea xse - 11 years ago

I didn't see you put anything else besides cat litter. Is that enough for the plants? How long will that last?

Shiko94 - 11 years ago

So... it's a cheap substrate!

AquaticDesign - 11 years ago

It contains nutrition for the plants :)

Shiko94 - 11 years ago

why did you put the cat litter? Is that thick sand?

Christian Kendall - 11 years ago

What's that template thing on the front of your tank? Where can I find information about that?

AquaticDesign - 11 years ago

Cat litter

tekkentekken - 11 years ago

what was the first layer that you placed in the tank?

Johnnyjnegron - 11 years ago

Mr13Channel - 12 years ago

Cat litter are dry clay which has a high cec that's all it is to it. Doesn't give off iron.

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

Read the other comments :)

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

No, I don't.

Enrique Goitia - 12 years ago

do you use an osmosis system??

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

It could do, but adding CO2 doesn't hurt :) Search for DIY CO2. You could also try liquid CO2.

Dan Tiburcio - 12 years ago

I wonder if HC will survive to a non Co2 nano tank?

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

If you don't have any CO2 you are limited in choosing plants. You can only choose plants that don't need additional CO2. There are some plants that grows quickly without CO2 but most don't.

Dan Tiburcio - 12 years ago

Sorry for many questions. I was inspired by seeing your tank. I would really like one for myself What will happen if there is no CO2? Will the plants die or just grow slowly? Thanks again :)

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

I would recommend it :)

Dan Tiburcio - 12 years ago

Quick Question... Do you really need CO2 for a planted tank? Thanks :)

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

I wouldn't worry about it too much, I don't want the same scape for several years so I will restart the tank with new cat sand once in a while. :)

Dan Tiburcio - 12 years ago

Umm.. Do you need to replace your substrate after a while?

Ricardo Urbieta - 12 years ago

Thank you very much for the name of this great song and video!

scottkjr22 - 12 years ago

Hi, thank you! Read the other comments and you will find the answer you're looking for.

SpikeyKat - 12 years ago

Great job setting this up, it looks really cool. May I ask where you got those stones? I want to put some nice rocks in my tank but it's illegal around here to take rocks from the rivers and creeks. (I think it's bogus though...it's just a rock. -.-' ) Did you buy these or...?

MahFukSit - 12 years ago

METH!!!!

Toan Pham - 12 years ago

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

Read the other comments.

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

Hi, I don't think it's available from outside Sweden. Search for "rådasand". The stones are from Germany.

jimmy nguyen - 12 years ago

i heard the mermaid voice O.O

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

Ok, no you can't, it will dissovle in the water, therefore it's essential to have it under a thick layer of sand.

amblisky - 12 years ago

i think she is asking if you use cat litter as a substrate

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

I don't understand your question. :(

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

Thank you :) I have one nano tank too, might do a video about it in the future.

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

Look at the other questions.

ekundxike - 12 years ago

Wow. 3 days just for Hard scaping. No wonder it looks so Great. Love this and you really earn some respect. Btw. Do you keep other Tanks too? I''d love to see :-)

ekundxike - 12 years ago

Why using cat Litter Sand???

javier maddio - 12 years ago

is a genius

Vince H - 12 years ago

My goodness you certainly had a hard time deciding on the postioning of those rocks didn't you. You're just like me, a perfectionist, but so indecisive, actually ocd would sum it up. Lol. Nice music btw.

Chapalap - 12 years ago

the litter will do the same thing as -first layer pure laterite- for plants in aquariums for for a lesser cost and with less effectivness.. if you have to buy a big box or bag of litter just for a tank i suggest going to petsmart and getting a small box of -first layer pure laterite- and your laughing. Your plants will have plenty neutrients for moooonths and you can use any substrate on top and plants will still thrive.. Just a suggestion incase your starting an aquascape

stacey aubuchon - 12 years ago

ok thank you for answering all my questions. it is very usefull to me.

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

The litter acts as a mineral depot, if the plants require more minerals than there is in the water column, they can take up minerals from the litter.

stacey aubuchon - 12 years ago

does the litter help the plants. i mean what is the purpose of the litter(sorry for so many questions, just trying to figure out if i want to use it or not)

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

Just specific ones, they can't contain perfume or coloring. My contains 100 % betonite. My litter won't harm fish.

stacey aubuchon - 12 years ago

very nice after it all grew. can you use any kind of litter for bottom of the tank? and will the litter harm fish?

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

aldobetta - 12 years ago

bien al final una buena decision

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

It acts as a back up mineral depot.

green deen - 12 years ago

hi may i know what the cat litter is used for??

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

Hi, first a thin layer of cat litter and then just ordinary sand.

Filo011 - 12 years ago

i'm still pretty new to this so i was wandering if you could tell me what substrate products you put and in wat order plz :D

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

Just some fishing line.

Mike Westwood - 12 years ago

Where do you get dragon stones from? Your tank looks awesome so far.

Morgan Hägg - 12 years ago

@AquaticDesign Aight - Thanks :D

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

@Knaragus Tjenare! Nope, it's just the ordinary gravel.

Morgan Hägg - 12 years ago

Tjena! What's the "things" you put in the gravel just after covering the cat-litter? It's it fertelizer?

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

@zerounite Just specific ones, they can't contain perfume or coloring. My contains 100 % betonite.

zerounite - 12 years ago

@AquaticDesign can use any type of litter or are there specific ones?

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

@zerounite It acts as a back up mineral depot.

zerounite - 12 years ago

Cat litter? what's the purpose of using that?

martiniostramoga - 12 years ago
