Aquarium setup, on a Friday. This is how I put together a 75 gallon planted tank. My buddy wanted a planted tank in his new office so I'm throwing down a low maintenance dirted tank and doing my best aquascape to date!

Tank looks great but move the chairs. Who would want to sit with their back against the tank.

MisterAxeMan - 7 years ago

I'm pretty new to the whole aquascaping thing and I was wondering, why don't you just use Aquasoil?

Jennlewis16 - 7 years ago

I've never heard of putting dirt until your channel. What does it do?

Ante Rehn - 7 years ago

Hard to see the final results, to much info and other videos in the way :(

Jazzler Belle - 7 years ago

Since you are using all new filter media, how are you able to add fish with in a week? I mean cycling a tank usually takes 4 to 6 weeks

thomas smith - 7 years ago

they got it down to a science for all the stuff they get people to buy to set up an aquarium i use a swampkooler pump for one of my outboard filters pumps way more then you would think.. n my fish like dog food... i think i got 25 bucks into 4 aquariums n they seem to keep life going ok... fish are so kool...

Pack it with rainbows like every other tank. Vals - check, Standard Anubias Java fern and other entry level plants - check, no use of mosses or foreground plants-check, no inverts check. I believe we've seen this tank before.

Bearrick - 8 years ago

What was walking around on the drift wood?

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 8 years ago

https://youtu.be/xVstYfDltnI this is DJ Tiësto before he sold his soul. He used to make incredible music. This is one of my favorite tracks of all time. He also mixes it perfectly with the track before it. I saw him live in Amsterdam when I was 19. Game changer

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 8 years ago

Haha- I am glad I can give you a little tingle down below - people have a choice who they watch. I'm glad your hear and spreading love. Passion equals fulfillment for me. Bring the passion and people seem to enjoy it. It's an honor to share my love for this hobby- tank on

Get yourself some aquarium aqua scraping tools from Amazon my man.

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 8 years ago

you know. the only time i use them is with tiny foreground plants...i do love these little ones i have

loogiemistress - 8 years ago

I danced all the way thru this :)

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 8 years ago

thats the goal too right?

Jake's Planted Tanks - 8 years ago

I have a 125 tank outside and I have a algae problem what should I do its a planted tank to so

Elizabeth Grace - 8 years ago

Any shrimp should work. I prefer cherry shrimp because of their color, but they are smaller than other shrimp. I also think they're hardier though.

Dustin's Fish Tanks - 8 years ago

add floating plants - lots of them. full sun is hard core....water flow helps too :)

FlintSparked - 8 years ago

Elizabeth is right. You can also put some barley straw in the filter or where there's flow, helps break down algae from what I understand.

Jake's Planted Tanks - 8 years ago

what kind of shrimp ?

Elizabeth Grace - 8 years ago

If it's outside in direct sunlight, algae is pretty much always going to be there. Out compete algae with more plants and wipe the glass clean every water change. Bristlenose plecs and shrimp can help. Normally I just clean the front of the tank, my shrimp and fry enjoy eating the rest.

Lawrence Bader - 8 years ago
