Plz..
I'm waiting for your answer..

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 7 years ago

These cichlids like or do better with

Temperature: Prefers water a little cooler than most other South American cichlids. Somewhere in the range 70-77°F (21-25°C) is best. Most experts agree that the species does best with an 'overwintering' period of 3-4 months, during which the temperature is maintained around 60-64°F (16-18°C). This simulates the changing seasons in its natural, subtropical waters. It's thought that the lifespan of the fish may be reduced substantially without this artificial 'winter'. It may be worth investing in a programmable chiller for a tank containing this species in order to maintain these very specific conditions. Unfortunatel,y this adds significant cost to the setup, making it an expensive proposition.

Michael Piccirillo - 7 years ago

The cichlid type of fish don't eat or brother with the runny nose tetra, meant rummynose tetras?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 7 years ago

no they dont

GuyWithDiscus - 7 years ago

Nice aquascape! How do you keep this tank algae free? I also have a tank without plants and i'm having algae issues...

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 7 years ago

This is a Aquavas SUN LED, they are included with the Aquavas system and not sold separately. they are 8000k, but I dont know the wattage.

Michael Piccirillo - 7 years ago

Glass Canvas Aquascape what type of lights are on this tank, 5000,6500,10000k? How many watts? Thanks

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 7 years ago

Thanks! You just gotta keep up with the water changes and glass cleaning even when the algae isnt visible. Lastly, make sure the lights aren't on for too long or too intense

Shdwstep - 7 years ago

Hey what type of fish are those with red tip on the front?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 7 years ago

Those are called Rummynose Tetras

geedoy - 7 years ago

Wow. Simplistic and beautiful. How do you maintain this tank and how do you keep the algae from growing?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 7 years ago

once a week 75% water change, clean the glass during the water change regardless of whether or not it is dirty. Every month or so I suck up the top layer of sand and replace with a fresh layer of new sand to keep it looking clean

Random Outdoors - 7 years ago

How does this guy not have more subs?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 7 years ago

haha thanks, probably because I haven't posted in over a year. Hoping to change that soon :)

Put shrimps and snails inside, let fish live.

Dennis Binkhorst - 7 years ago

Well the Hemigrammus seem fine for this tank, but the cichlids on the other hand.. Better go with one couple of dwarfs.

What king of wood did you use and where did you get it from? Beautiful job

Kevin Garrett - 8 years ago

hi what wood are you using?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

I dont know the name, found it a local shop

István Mező - 8 years ago

hi, very nice video and tank too :) may I ask what is that powder that you put on the bottom of the tank in the beginning of the video? I have seen that ppl put 2-3 different colors of powder. what are those? thanks a lot :)

Michael Fenner - 7 years ago

István Mező xan you see it?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

they are products from ADA called bacter100 (beneficial bacteria), clear super (carbon), and tourmaline BC (tourmaline powder)

RR26 - 8 years ago

Ugly considering what tank you are using. Looking your other tanks, you seemed not doing well, or knowing how to deal with plants and driftwood.

Yokichi kaneko - 7 years ago

RR26 I don't care if you read or not. I don't even know this gentleman who created this great tank so I am completely unbiased in my opinion. I just had to say this to you( RR26) " Go fuck yourself. You piece of a little shit"

Bryan Tabares - 8 years ago

It's funny how RR26 decides to bless this video with his astute insight and criticize not only this tank but the other as well. I'm sure he knew the "other" tank ranked 116 at IAPLC 2016. Second highest ranking by an American that year and came from someone who has never competed at that level. I'm mean surellyy he knows this being such a bastion of insight and all.

RR26 - 8 years ago

Otherwise, try something unique.

RR26 - 8 years ago

Your style has been repeated thousands of times by Amano and ADA contest aquascapers. Search youtube and find a good examples and copy them.

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

thanks for your opinion, what do you think I could do to improve or do better next time?

vladimir2233 - 8 years ago

how is the wood not floating to the surface but stay in place? is it special wood or do you manipulate it with some method?

vladimir2233 - 8 years ago

i see... thats too bad. thx alot anway

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

I dont know the name, It is locally collected here in texas

vladimir2233 - 8 years ago

is there a name or product label for this kind of wood? the wood i can buy needs to be attached to stones to stay in place. maybe if i know the details i could get it in some way. thank you very much for the response

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

This wood is naturally very dense and heavy, it does not float (even when it is completely dry)

Gerardo Gutierrez - 8 years ago

wooo genial

Shashank Naik - 8 years ago

Hello there, would like to ask, where did you bought that bacteria you used as a jump start?

Shashank Naik - 8 years ago

K... Thanx a lot for the information...

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

vanderley3 - 8 years ago

What type of sand did you use, anything special?

lgull1 - 7 years ago

it probably is driftwood. i live in Florida and it looks exactly like that. i use it as well but for animal landscapes

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

nothing special, just pool filter sand

Kaylie Russ - 8 years ago

Watching this video was such an amazing pressure. The soundtrack was amazingly chosen for how peaceful the end product turned out. Really calming. I love to addition of the fish!! Really breathtaking piece! What is this track called?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

thank you kaylie! song title and artist is posted at the end of the video

Peter Penglis - 8 years ago

How do you clean the bottom of the tank without having to redo it all? or do you just have to do that?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

i lightly siphon the top layer of the sand to keep the surface of the sand looking clean.

Von - 8 years ago

Beautiful setup!! I'm curious what filter pipes you are using there?

hiImJoshyu - 7 years ago

Glass Canvas Aquascape just looked it up... holy cow that's $$$ but it really is gorgeous

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

+J ackal The stainless steel filter pipes are made by Aquavas, comes as a complete set with the tank,stand,lights, and filter

anthony pope - 8 years ago

what type of wood did you use?

SquatchPrince - 8 years ago

+Glass Canvas Aquascape looks really good and wanted to try and locate some. Always look forward to seeing your videos. Your tanks are awesome!

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

+SquatchPrince I honestly dont know what kind of wood it is, I just picked it out at my local shop

Rommel R - 8 years ago

Thanks..that should help me save time.

Rommel R - 8 years ago

I noticed you didn't rinse the sand..will the water clear in a few days?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

+Rommel R with pool filter sand, it doesnt really cloud the water, mine was crystal clear by morning

d ziii - 8 years ago

beautiful

Marcin Golik - 8 years ago

nice

vanderley3 - 8 years ago

This is absolutely stunning.. Can you recommend where to buy the materials (wood, rocks, etc)?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

+vanderley3 I buy all of my plants, wood, and rocks locally from from Aquarium Design Group(ADG) in Houston,TX. I prefer to buy locally so I can see the items in person at every angle and have a good gauge in size of the item. It is really difficult to find good pieces you'll be happy with online. My reccomendation is to buy locally or go out in nature and collect pieces for youself.

c0mrade5 - 8 years ago

good thank,i like the sand,what sand is that?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

+c0mrade5 its pool filter sand

good samaritan - 8 years ago

amazing effort...just my 2 cents though...i think it would look even better with floating plants over the surface...the fishes would really love the shade too : )

Aqua'Nico - 8 years ago

Rommel R - 8 years ago

Beautiful scape! What was the sand you used?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

+Rommel R thank you! its pool filter sand

Neill Jansen van Vuuren - 8 years ago

Very Beautiful aquascape, the fish is perfect for thar tank

Steven Chong - 8 years ago

Almost as if Jeff did it himself. While this is really simple and just classic--I'd call it ADG style--I'd say this layout's even more impressive than your 90cm. You've got a lot of impact from the bigger driftwood peaces coming towards the glass and making shadows, and you've got some scale going on thanks to the smaller pieces pushed backwards (and therefore bright). I'd say achieving those two things alone are things to be proud of, and if you learned them from Jeff, I'd say he should be proud too.

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

+Steven Chong thank you! That's a huge compliment =)

jeremiemcd - 8 years ago

Beautiful aquascape, awesome layout, do you plam on only Hardscape no plants like ferns, or jus rock and wood? I like the selection of fish you decided to go with goes great with the scape. thanks for sharing, keep up the great wrk :)

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

+jeremiemcd i plan to keep this tank hardscape only, no plants whatsoever

nathan e - 8 years ago

Please make a tutorial video for beginers on what materials, and how.

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

+Pooh Pears I'm not sure what kind of reccomendation you're asking for

nathan e - 8 years ago

I don't understand where to find good rocks...

coolwater411 - 8 years ago

What is the the stuff you put on the bottom of the tank?

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

Good job Hiep. is that wood from Tom Barr? looks like his manzanita.

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

+Damo Ward that is ADA bacter100 , 100 types of beneficial bacteria in a dormant state, to help the tank cycle

Mike Wang - 8 years ago

Dude that is fawking sick

Gurr - 8 years ago

Beautiful!! Do you just go by feel, or do you have an idea in mind ahead of time? Thanks for the videos

Glass Canvas Aquascape - 8 years ago

+Obesegiraffes I mostly go by feel, usually there is one peice of wood or stone that inspires the entire scape so when I see it, I build the scape around that one peice. In this case, it was the largest piece of wood that i placed first.
