ss ss - 7 years ago

I'd like to meet James - I'm sure beneath that frosty, yet serious exterior he's a properly nice guy.

As for the narrator, I can't help but picture Finchy from "The Office UK"

Babar Hussain - 7 years ago

well-done work i like marine fish aquarium and aqua plant design, such you make. but in Pakistan there is no experts like you who design such kind of aquarium, and there is nothing available which were used in aquarium.

Do you seriously have to moisten it every single day? Best 3-4 times? This wouldn't be easy to look after for people who go to work/on business trips or vacation.

Martin Thomsen - 8 years ago

what the fuck is rikkya line? oh wait its just fishing string whit a higher price tag....

RIPPER334 - 7 years ago

lam son le pham thread does the same thing... for less than a buck a spool.

People will spend money on anything inside a hobby, if someone puts it in a Shiney package.

KampKarl - 7 years ago

You must be joking?

lam son le pham - 8 years ago

Martin Thomsen riccia line made by riccia moss, it will be disappeared by itself after 2 months, you will not see it anymore. but the fishing line made by nylon and stay there forever. some urly moss will grow on it. so thats why they use it.

Sunil George - 8 years ago

Do you guys ship to the US? You sell some neat products there!

Phyllis Brannagan - 8 years ago

Please, what is the substrate, is is dried, baked? Does it fall apart?

Grag Eiliel - 7 years ago

Its a fairly well packed ball of substrate mud dried out basically, it could fall apart if you mess with it while its over soaked and has not moss or root plants established enough to hold it together

Brle ivan - 8 years ago

tanmay sharma - 8 years ago

what was the substrate ball made up of?

The Deamon - 8 years ago

tanmay sharma I think its volcanic ash that is bound with small rocks and peat moss for structure.

tanmay sharma - 8 years ago

what was the substrate? can you please elaborate more?

Gregory Marrero - 8 years ago

What sort of plante is it

Mrxin Dix - 9 years ago

how does they clean the tanks after having put the fish and the plants? Does it not disturb the gravel?

Mrxin Dix - 9 years ago

thank you

BigNastyreborn - 9 years ago

other than plant maintenance you shouldn't have to clean the display.

JohnnyPlaysGames - 9 years ago

hmm. im gonna do something like this also. but then ill just fill it.

marvin schmidt - 9 years ago

What is the Material of this wabi kusa?its really cool

SilverPower - 10 years ago

what is the composition of the ball ? Clay 100% ?

BiteMyShinyMetal4ss - 10 years ago

Ah this reminds me of the days where I would do this with carnivorous plants... its quite similar, but even more beautiful and intriguing than a simple Wabi-Kusa.

Nicolas Lopez - 10 years ago

Can you put fish in there?

Abdulaziz, it requires class and intelligence to do this and appreciate it, something you seem to lack.

LeadFaun - 8 years ago

+Abdulaziz Alharbi someone liked my comment so I saw this in my notifications.

Abdulaziz Alharbi - 8 years ago

Damn dude, what made you comment again after two years ??

LeadFaun - 8 years ago

After all, it is his job.

LeadFaun - 10 years ago

Some people do, like him.

I'm afraid your plants won't live long James! You made me laugh at 9:32 where you added the fertilizer. Did you ever notice the fertilizer "popped" out the water? Thanks for the post. Great info!

daget34 - 10 years ago

Why would the plant die if fertilizer falls into the water? interested on more info.

Bart Boom - 11 years ago

Where is that ball made of? Clay?

dannybizal - 11 years ago

Thank you for your reply :)

TheGreenMachineLtd - 11 years ago

Yes this is possible.

Jojo D - 11 years ago

does the Wabi-Kusa TGM comes with that extra arm that pops out of no where when needed?

Jane M. Couto - 11 years ago

Great!

nicolas galasyka - 11 years ago

BTW, i normally prefer wabi-kusa alone in the tank (without sand) but yours is wonderful

nicolas galasyka - 11 years ago

Thanks a lot for that very nice video Thegreenmachine! Wabi-kusa is such a complexe and precise yet beautiful art and you explain it very well! Keep up the good work!

alf0rrana - 11 years ago

What kind of light is required for keeping the plants alive..? I guess any kind of light won't do it.. any help?

TheGreenMachineLtd - 11 years ago

Do!aqua Plant Glass Cube 1520... follow the links in the description for full info.

daniel osborne - 11 years ago

What cube is that???

Prince Kehy - 11 years ago

I've done a wabi-kusa that gradually ended up submerged. I would keep it emersed long enough for roots to establish so it'll be less messy once submerged. Alternatively, you could start with it emersed and slowly raise the water level over a few weeks.

apanhaesta - 11 years ago

nice!! Commo'n,wtf,ADA riccia line!?Just use fishing line...

James Conrey Aquatics - 11 years ago

Really nice concept

jeremiemcd - 11 years ago

I have the same tank as hes using but shorter with a betta no filter for over a year check it out, asome vid, great info:)

dannybizal - 11 years ago

@My replies. I wouldn't use the tank shown in this video. Would certainly get a bigger tank, but wanted to use the same idea (maybe same plants also) and was wondering if putting more water in the tank would kill the plants? Also would the plants be able to keep the Betta alive without a Filter system in the tank? I want it to look as 'clean/natural' as possible, so no unnecessary equipment.

II Knucklez II - 11 years ago

what i'm going to do is do it with 50% water and place the substrate ball on top of some stones or drift wood

II Knucklez II - 11 years ago

Awesome!! I'm going to do one of these with a Betta well but using a 12g long Mr. aqua tank and do the theme like reciprocity. Wis you guys would post a lot more videos of setup tanks!!!!

Voll Blau - 11 years ago

bettas can take anything XD

@quaHolic - 11 years ago

thanks for sharing ;-)

dannybizal - 11 years ago

Would it be possible to do this with 80-90% of the plants submerged in water? I am thinking about doing this but keeping a single Betta in the tank also.
