świetna robota, oryginalna aranżacja. Zbiornik mały ale przemyślany, skoro rośliny na każdym slajdzie były w doskonałej kondycji oznacz to że światło i nawożenie rewelacyjne.

Według tego filmu, moja ocena zbiornika 5 w kategorii mały ale jary ;-)

I really think the bamboo is made of plastic. they are all very pretty.

Lhin Doh - 10 years ago

To me aquascapes often look a lot like scenes that are terrestrial or land and forest based.

Tool u a year huh

Ike D - 10 years ago

Bamboo is NOT an aquatic plant that's why I ask. You can have the bottom part in the water but the top part has to be out of the water.

II Knucklez II - 11 years ago

no they will still fight each other... nice tanks by the way

gtariman03 - 11 years ago

Why not just buy separate tanks or use a divider?

theFlyingMinister - 11 years ago

If you put two male bettas into the same tank, even one that size, shortly after that you will have one male betta.

MeeshPolack - 11 years ago

You are the boss of aquariums. Wow!

Chuck Norris - 11 years ago

if you have a 50 gallon tank can you put 2 male bettas in it? or are they going to still be aggressive? please answer :O

Hi sir, your tank is awesome. I love the zen feel the most. May I ask if those "sticks" are real bamboo? Thanks!

cubaniton74 - 11 years ago

Hello, why did you call your video "Fishtank Evolution"? Don't you know that "Evolution" is only a theory ( it's yet to be proven a fact, and I may add will never be proven ) and that "Evolution" if it were real, is the progressive transformation of any biological thing into a more sophisticated type. Your tank was a "Creation" since it had a "Creator" which is you... you created different designs based on your own desires and taste. That's how life was created, by a "Creator", God.

fishkillernomore - 11 years ago

Kept them in the old tank. I just ran the new filter alongside with the old filter on my established tank for about 2 weeks to seed it, no cycling needed.

mikali anagnostis - 11 years ago

When you bought a new tank, what did you do with your fish when it was cycling?

hidalgo1331 - 12 years ago

Are those just dead bamboo stocks stuck in there? or are they living?

Microcosmical - 12 years ago

What is the plant you have floating at the surface? I have a tank going with lucky bamboo (tops emersed) and I thought the plants you have floating would look really nice and make a good surface cover for my betta. I was going to go with duckweed but your choice looks much prettier! Thanks. :)

fishkillernomore - 12 years ago

@MsCowHugger Thanks! Yeah those were fun designs, pretty but very low maintenance!!!

fishkillernomore - 12 years ago

@daamiiooo It's glass. I think it's a finnex, and they dont sell this model anymore :S

fishkillernomore - 12 years ago

@imlostagainWTF It's from E-Bay. It looks different because the lotus flower he is sitting on is buried under the sand. Also he's not completely white (it was originally clean white). I sanded him down a bit, then applied ceramic stain (black) then wiped and scrubbed the excess off to give him an aged look.

fishkillernomore - 12 years ago

Hello I really need some help with my 40 breeder tank some advice

fishkillernomore - 12 years ago

@Pinkergloop do it! do it! Then let me know when you post a vid of it, I like seeing other people's tanks!

fishkillernomore - 12 years ago

@Kingfatboyrsr09 Yes they're real plants, no I dont have to take them out when I clean the tanks. I do a mini-siphon to clean the debris between plants so it doesnt disturb them that much.

fishkillernomore - 12 years ago

@nova72asu washed them in hot hot hot water then sun dried them for a long time. It held up for 6 months before I had to replace them. They'll get moldy eventually and needs replacing, but drying them properly lets you keep them longer.

fishkillernomore - 12 years ago

@fuzzyfishable I think the best way to grow plants well is to pick the ones that are compatible to your water in the first place. I've had plants that, no matter the amount of fertilizers, good lighting and CO2 injections, still died because it wasn't compatible with my water chemistry. Good starter plants are anubias, ferns (java, windelov, philippine etc, but stay away from lace for now) and some mosses.

nova72asu - 12 years ago

what if anything did you do to the bamboo before putting it in the tank?

Rafael Gutierrez - 12 years ago

Are those real plants? Do u rake them out to clean the tanks?

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@Starfiish100 Thanks! He passed away, sadly. Ive had him for about 1.5 years or so. Not sure how old he was when I got him.

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@MrSummerisHOT yessir!

LiliFromHali - 13 years ago

@famousstunners lol, just joking. It depends on the type of plant, really, because some need a special substrate, or CO2 diffusers, or special chemicals that need to be added for nutrients, or special types of lights. The easiest plant to start with is java moss, imo, because you just need to tie it to rocks with a fishing line and it will grow in any type of light (as long as it's on for 7-8 hrs/day). Plus, it doesn't need any nutrients or anything, since it's fine with just fish poo.

LiliFromHali - 13 years ago

@famousstunners plants and a tank.

MyFishCare101 - 13 years ago

I wish those kind of plants were available here!

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

thanks for all the love guys, much appreciated. please visit my blog at TankScape (dot) com for pics and more tank info. You can also see my other past projects and current ones on that blog :)

Sathyam Seetahal - 13 years ago

these are great designs, much props to you are those live bamboo u used or was it plastic?

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@feenin4u247 with fake plants, or with rocks and twigs, sure! But definitely no live plants, your turtles will eat them. Just use decor that are heavy/big enough that they cannot uproot/topple it over.

Jesse Jazz Ratcliffe - 13 years ago

what nice tanks! Wow, so clean! I'm jealous... Mine get green too quickly for me to keep up.

summerawaits - 13 years ago

I love when people make their tanks so well planted! It looks amazing! And So Real too.

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@jassimjassim13 that's the idea :) underwater forest hehe

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@thisshittake4ever only used fertilizer tablets on the heavily planted areas (stem plants) on some of the set ups. I did CO2 for my first tank, the rest are low tech tanks.

j - 13 years ago

its like forest haha

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@edwintrue hahaha!

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@atreyuexsandohs that would be the christmas moss. you can buy them on ebay or aquabid!

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@erminthon88 i got mine from our backyard haha

fishkillernomore - 13 years ago

@iMmember91 thanks! the tank came with a hang-on-back filter. No CO2 for the buddha tank, it was a low tech tank.

iMmember91 - 13 years ago

budha tank is my favourite.. what filter are you using on that tank..?? and did u use any co2..??

edwintrue - 13 years ago

I like 00:20 the fish would be flying

Litameena-chan - 14 years ago

=O I think my new goal is to one day own a beautiful fish tank like all of your previous and current ones!

zerocool212121 - 14 years ago

they grow in a substrate gravel is a type like onxy sand and florite. all plants will need nutrients if the substrate has none then yes u need fert. unless its a moss or something like that it draws nutrients from the water.

Akito - 14 years ago

Why did you put dead leaves in the second tank?

Still one of the Best small tanks I have seen. I am thinking of setting up one of my tanks with your Buddha themed one as the design. Cheers!

Robin C - 14 years ago

anyone know a good forum on how to get started with planted tanks ? thanks.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

you know those zinc(?) plant weights that come with some stem plants? I wrapped them at the tip of the bamboo and buried them deep. Also helps keep them from floating off.

Craig Fulton - 14 years ago

how have u kept the bamboo held vertical?

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

Lost in storage...

Lilly Cantle - 14 years ago

Your an excellent Aqua-Scaper. Wish i had half the creativity! :D

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

and oh, proper lighting too!

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

Liquid fertilizers and fertilizer tablets. My substrate's not as fancy as some hard planted tank geek's substrates lol. But most importantly, if you pick the proper plants for your water type, then you should have no problem growing them. (ie. pick soft water plants if you have soft water, hard water plants if you have hard water. Soft water plants will melt and die if you have hard water. Same goes for hard water plants in soft water.).

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

I dont see any reason why would it not be able to take the water pressure. If it were a reptile tank, then you might have a problem since their glass is usually thinner than fish tanks.

Jennifer Whiteford - 14 years ago

I'm just learning to use live plants in my tanks. Great job!

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

It will rot eventually. Anything organic that you place in water for a long time will rot. The trick is how to prepare the bamboo sticks so that they last longer and does not foul up your water. My bamboos lasted me almost 5 months (if I remember it correctly) before I had to replace them with new ones.

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

over filter!!! haha!

fishkillernomore - 14 years ago

dried bamboo from the backyard ;)

chiirioz - 14 years ago

how do you keep your plants weighed down... I bought a plant from petsmart with a plastic cup but it's always floating around....

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

Thanks! That's christmas moss tied to a slate tile.

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

thanks!!!

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

That's christmas moss that was tied to a slate tile to create that "carpet" effect.

ameh78 - 15 years ago

I adore your tanks and admire the amount of time they must take you. They are little underwater worlds. At :19 i *love* this design. It looks like a park with a tree in the background. What kind of grasses do you use for the base?

SonikBlu23 - 15 years ago

indeed.

1mry - 15 years ago

wow when i see the tanks i want to start making setting up tanks again...like the stuff you did its great!!

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

Those are maple leaves. Boil them first to kill bacteria and release most of the tannins. Boiling also makes them sink. The maple leaves are mainly for decor, but other leaves like indian almond leaves and oak leaves are used by other betta keepers as water conditioners.

Alex Smoler - 15 years ago

May I ask, how is it that you put leaves in an aquarium?

fishkillernomore - 15 years ago

Thank you :)
