Hey There! This is one of my favorite setups. The fact that it is mostly moss, hence lower maintenance, is AWESOME! I am wondering though, why did it get torn down so fast? I am thinking of doing something similar with a 120, and am wondering what issues you've ran into with tank, and how you went about working around them.

Best!

BTW, where do you get the black dragon rock from?
ADU Aquascaping
ADU Aquascaping - 7 years ago
I just took it down because I was moving. With so much rock and moss/liverwort I just made sure to have a lot of flow and circulation to keep detritus from collecting on the the plants.

One plant is Riccardia and the other is Fissidens moss. You just want to make sure it is Cyanoacrylate based super glue. You can put it on wet or dry stone, or underwater.

Hallo Dave, what a wonderful Scape you did! Its just perfect. I`m whatching your channel since I have my own aquarium and your Tips helped me out a lot. I have a question, I have a Scape with tons of Plants and a Nymphoides Hygrophila Taiwan. A few weeks ago I cutted down some of the big leaves and now the leaves are getting glassy and dye. I don`t what to do. Do you know these plants? Is that normal?
Dorit Brockmeier
Dorit Brockmeier - 8 years ago
+ADU Aquascaping No, the plant did not die, I'm happy to say that it's growing better than ever. I made two of them last week when rescaping my aquarium, and both Hygrophilas are doing well. It could have been the shock, I think. It's a really easy plant, but it needs Fe and a regular Amount of Nutrients, then you will have fun with her.
ADU Aquascaping
ADU Aquascaping - 8 years ago
+Dorit Brockmeier could just be from the shock of the big leaves being cut. is it doing better now? have the smaller leaves gotten bigger, or did the plant die?

hey dave i've been following your video since I start this hobby, that hardscape really rocks. By the way how did you put all the rocks to make it look like that, thanks
ADU Aquascaping
ADU Aquascaping - 8 years ago
+Justine John Booc THanks, yes this is probably about 100+ separate rocks that I stacked to look like this. They are just balanced and free floating. I just stand right in front of the tank and make sure that the lines are even and look natural. Also, lava rock tends to stick together quite well, so the rocks hold their shape because they are so jagged.

Matthew Kluczinske - 8 years ago
Hey Dave, I am planning a rescape as well, and some of the plants have algae on them. Do you discard ALL leaves with algae or can you soak them in something during the setup that will help kill the algae so they don't transfer it into the new tank? Or is there another way?
ADU Aquascaping
ADU Aquascaping - 8 years ago
+Matthew Kluczinske You can take the plant and spray it down with hydrogen peroxide or Excel and then rinse after a few minutes. If the algae is bad I just cut the leaves.
Michael Gumm

Wow I hadn't seen this one yet Dave. Great job... Inspired me to do a re-scape. I need to achieve more height on my next scape, going to use lots of egg crate!

Max Twigg
Max Twigg - 8 years ago
why do you wait for the fish to be lost in 3 inches of shit water before you remove them?
ADU Aquascaping
ADU Aquascaping - 8 years ago
+Max Twigg With all of the driftwood, rocks, and plants it is impossible to remove all of my fish, especially my Ninja bee shrimp.
It isn't going to kill the fish, but you don't have to have it look like shit water if you go slow. I was just going fast.
I just meant it is easiest to remove them when the water level is 2-3 inches deep. If you take your time and go really slow the water won't look so bad. That was mainly from when I removed the rocks. Thanks for watching.

WOW!!! Cool INTRO!!!!
Where did you get that???
I want to make one like that for my youtube channel...
Cool music in the video to... we got to talk.... :)
You are getting really good...

Question sir!!
Ok, so I am starting my 4th real planted tank, I had 2 smaller ones before, so technically my 6th tank, 4 planted... and 2 of them miracle grow...

So, I have a miracle grow tank 7 days old right now.
I used filter floss with tons of bacteria from my 29 gallon tank that was in that filter at least for 6 to 8 weeks... I used some water from that tank to put into the new tank and put a few handfuls of gravel from that tank into my new tank...

I'm making this tank for my German Blue Rams. They are trying to breed but the other fish keep eating the eggs... So this new tank is for them...

Although I have read a lot, watched a lot of videos and have had some real life experience with the Nitrogen Cycle, I still hear conflicting advice on how to start the tank for the fish... I just read some more on it tonight...

Most people say to set up the tank and wait 4 weeks to 6 weeks before putting any fish in so the cycle can complete... Now a guy I really respect because he is a planted fish tank FREAK!!! Been in the hobby for over 15 years, has 4 Awesome 55 gallon planted tanks at home and is the manager at our local fish store and he has helped me a ton with great advice...

So my tank is 7 days with water in it, water and filter floss loaded with bacteria and gravel from my 2 year old 29 gallon tank... And I am adding in Microbe Lift special Blend every night. He told me to put in 2 or 3 fish to kick start the Nitrogen cycle... He said he would do it after 3 or 4 days... So I did it today or technically yesterday the 7th day and left them in their for 20 hours. But the ammonia was 1.5 to 2.0. So I did a small water change and it came down to 0.75. And I added some Ammonia stuff to help the fish... but it stayed at 0.75 for 6 hours.

So I took them out because they were hiding and darting around in an unusual way.

So my question is, how do you start the Nitrogen cycle? Just leave the tank alone for 30 days then add fish? Or Do you put fish in there that fast to kick start it faster? Is 7 days too early or will it help with the Nitrogen Cycle? In other words, am I sacrificing my Cherry Barbs?

Remember, I did add filter floss that was loaded with Bacteria and some gravel with bacteria, water, microbe lift ever night now, etc...

P.H. is 6.7 or 6.8

I did take the Cherry Barbs out about an hour ago, and I am thinking of waiting a few more days and putting the fish, Cherry Barbs Back in there...

Any advice?

it can happen. I once had a firemouth cichlid survive 90 degree water when my heater malfunctioned.
Mike Kollin
Mike Kollin - 8 years ago
You are not going to believe this... the new tank I started... I put in 2 cherry barbs for 20 hours to kick start the ammonia... then took them out... I added fish food a few times.. and I also added ammonia at least 4 times or more over 16 days...  The ammonia spiked massively, then the nitrites spiked, etc... I did use media from my other tank... on day 16, I noticed more than 12 baby fish swimming around... so far, not sure what they are... possibly Cherry Barbs. They survived the ammonia from the bottle and the spikes!
ADU Aquascaping
ADU Aquascaping - 8 years ago
+Mike Kollin it is best to used media from a filter that is already cycled. Or you can add small bits of fish food to the tank in the first week, just a little bit on the first day or so. And wait for 3 weeks. Just get a test kit and check that there are no nitrites or ammonia after 3 weeks. It is best to cycle without fish as it will cause stress on the fish and can kill them.

ADU Aquascaping
ADU Aquascaping - 8 years ago
+Xxkilluminati91xX yeah it sucks, but really I just do it how Amano does it. The rocks are all free standing and you just have to have patience and make sure that each rock you stack up is supported and stabilized by other rocks. It does get easier the more you do it. And if you have had African Cichlid tanks it does help in mastering this skill. And lava rock tends to fit and mesh together with itself quite well, so it fits nicely and looks like one solid piece. This isn't always the case for other types of rocks. Thanks for watching.

ADU Aquascaping
ADU Aquascaping - 8 years ago
+Flying Dutchman I don't like it either for this tank, but it looks good when using a lot of red plants. I didn't use anything other than balance and gravity. You just have to go slow, but the lava sticks together easier than other rocks.

I don't know if I like the scape, I think it looks good, but the red wood not to much, I feel it takes away from your scape, it drew my eye straight to it, and away from your hard scape. Not my fav, but it is still a great scape. Saying that theres lots of Amno scapes I dont like either. All that matters is what you think about it, its your scape and you have to look at it daily. Just my opinion. Im sure it will transform nicely as it grows. I look forward to seeing more of your scape ideas, keep up the great wrk :) keep your sleeves wet lol, Merry Christmas

ADU Aquascaping - 8 years ago
+jeremiemcd That's fine, I also have mixed feelings about the wood. It seemed too bare without the wood, but the pieces may be too thick, and I am hoping the color will fade in time. I may replace with smaller pieces, or put moss on the wood to soften it. But as far as the hardscape goes... I love it! Also, as the mosses grow the scape will get taller and the canyon will become more narrow. Merry Christmas.

+ADU Aquascaping Just got a 30 gallon breeder fish tank from my neighbor for free and might get a 75 gallon in the next 6 months. I am soon to make it planted but waiting for my LFS to get some more java moss because the first day they get it in, the next day there is none left. I am also waiting for the water to go down at my grandma's so I can retrieve some driftwood.

+Luke Jarrett I do have CO2 at 2 pbs and am using Halo LEDs at 55% of full power and minimally dose ferts to the water column. There is no soil or substrate in this tank just sand and rock.

+ADU Aquascaping ya something along those lines Amazonia maybe and unfortunately I don't have the skills to build the tank I purchased it from a builder out in California and I forgot the name of the company.
well that tank was torn down well at least the scape was I ran out of room for it in my place and had to make a decision get a bigger tank or keep the 30 cube.
the tank is at my lfs set up and running it's still my tank it's just setup as a display tank I'll have to get some videos up of that tank it looks pretty good imo.
ADU Aquascaping
ADU Aquascaping - 8 years ago
+Luis Q. sounds like a huge amazonia tank? And are you making the tank too? I still would love to make a low-iron glass tank. What every happened to the last scape from last year?

Luis Q. - 8 years ago
Yes thanks for asking Dave I'm currently working on building or should I say finishing up a the stand and canopy for the new 135 but currently I have my old 75 gal set up and a Mr aqua 12 gal planted with some CRS dealing with staghorn algae in the 12 gal just can't bare to put up a video with the algae in it.

And once it fills in the scape will become taller and the canyon will become more narrow. Thanks for the support man. Your new scape looks pretty sweet too. But your tank is so nice! I talked to the importer and he said he is going to bring a new batch in from China so hopefully the price goes back down.
