That's one of the best tanks I've seen.

Mitch Connor - 7 years ago

was that just water in the spray bottle?

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 7 years ago

Yes, it's just water to keep the plants moist.

Alex Fuxx - 7 years ago

84L by the way... 60x35x40 are NOT 100L....

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 7 years ago

Yes, there is something wrong, either the measures or the volume calculation, sorry about that! We cannot change the video though...

Very nice job, but why lie about the time it took? We're not complete idiots. A newbie would guess that your one day progress would take more like 2-3 months..

Charles Maia - 7 years ago

volume: 84l?

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 7 years ago

The volume of this tank is 100 L. Se specs here: http://tropica.com/en/inspiration/layout/Layout74/5278

The growth after 1 day? lol.

Unpwnable - 8 years ago

Did u cut the fish line later on when the Java Moss a thicker or the Java Moss actually covered up the fish line?

Mgtow Monk Templar Meng John Lee - 8 years ago

lol, the only kool parts are the grass wall and the grass floor. look pretty neat.

Zenmatrixx - 8 years ago

wow just 1 day not only the moss grow but the hardscape (the rocks) change as well. You guys really know how to do magic.

For the moss wall wall, what did you use? Is that aluminum mesh?

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 8 years ago

You can use a grid (from a Do-It-Yourself/Builder store in a material that will remain neutral and not affect the water parameters e.g. Stainless steel or plastic.

wow.. days after water is still too clean. how the way of?

Arno Kalaycı - 8 years ago

I will check it completaly :) It looks amazing :)

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 8 years ago

+Arno Kalaycı You need to do waterchanges especially in the beginning to keep the water clear and clean. http://tropica.com/en/guide/get-the-right-start/

Great video and also your website. I want to know what do you use to support the java moss, looks like a net? What kind of net do you recommend? Thank you in advance.

+Esoteric Desi Thank you for your kind words; our aim is to help as many as possible enjoy this wonderful hobby!

H Corallus - 8 years ago

the rocks are different and the moss will not grow that much in one day=different aquarium

ABCmelig - 8 years ago

Can you explain me how a tank with the dimensions of 60 x 35 x 40 is 100L?
Because if you calculate 6 x 3.5 x 4 it comes out 84L bruto, so around the 78/80L is you keep the gravel/ornaments in mind.

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 8 years ago

+ABCmelig You're welcome :)

ABCmelig - 8 years ago

Thank you for coming back on it! That clears it up :)

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 8 years ago

+ABCmelig Hi, actually the tank has a hidden filter chamber containing approx. 20 L. Total water volume is therefore approx. 100L.

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 8 years ago

+ABCmelig Yes, you are right the measures and the volume don't correspond! (Well spotted!) I am unsure which is correct, I shall have to check if we still have that tank in house :). Sorry about the mistake.

great aquarium!

Can you check my tank out please! Thanks!

Wow very nice aquarium,can i copy your aquarium? kk:)

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 9 years ago

+강희최 You are welcome to follow our instructions to create the same setup of course :). Details here: http://tropica.com/en/inspiration/layout/Layout74/5278. Have fun!

Stanimir Potov - 9 years ago

lol,what a difference just after the first day,almost unbeliveble.Great look overall

I'm very very good - 9 years ago

no co2 is it ??

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 9 years ago

+I'm very very good As you can see on the Layout details here (http://tropica.com/en/inspiration/layout/Layout74/5278), we added some CO2 for this tank. But the plants used in this tank are "Easy" category, which means that they can grow without CO2 addition, but the growth will be slower.
We recommend use of CO2 in all planted tanks - easy-medium-advanced categories - and we mostly add CO2 to all our showtanks in order to get them ready and as beautiful as possible for "showtime", which is often a show or a fair.

phuong tran - 9 years ago

Fucking fake

fish lover - 9 years ago

Nice aquarium ! But after 1 day setup you used a different moss wall :))

Watch it - 9 years ago

Love the moss wall. Very inventive so I liked what I saw and subbed your channel Bruv. I like it a lot. Later.

colinbarsby - 9 years ago

Great video, no matter what the time sequence is.

TheOneAndOnly! GAMER - 9 years ago

What was the spray?

MJ Ollie - 9 years ago

+Tropica Moist.

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 9 years ago

+TheOneAndOnly! GAMER The spray is just water to keep the plants moist until the tank is filled.

marioriospinot - 9 years ago

Nice.

Emerlie David - 9 years ago

Do you ever turn off the light during night time? Just asking thankyou

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 9 years ago

+Emerlie David Yes, it is important that light is switched off after 6-8 hours. You can add a timer to do this for you automatically. If you leave the light on for more than 8hrs/day, it gives an advantage to the algae which may spread. The plants need to "rest" like they would rest at night in the nature.

yaenee ryu - 9 years ago

Where can i buy the net grib? What is it exactly called?

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 9 years ago

+yaenee ryu You can buy grids at any Do-It-Yourself/builders market. The material must be neutral to the water, e.g. stainless steel or similar.

EnLaiten - 9 years ago

The background with the moss looks really good!

BeschAquaticAquariums - 10 years ago

1ST, Anyone who thinks that moss grew In one day is stupid as shit. 2ND, That was regular java moss/stringy moss. When grown out it was Xmas moss. So stfu

WoundrousMindTrick - 7 years ago

It wasn't java moss in the beginning at it wasn't Xmas moss grown out. It was Taxiphyllum 'Spiky' the whole time. A moss I recommend any beginner use instead of java moss. Just make sure not keep water below 25C and keep trimming it, otherwise the lower light depraved parts will detach itself from whatever you tied/glued it on.

Chittesh Jugan - 9 years ago

Yes and the rest of the plants grew that much in only a day.

Virnelle Zanoria - 10 years ago

We all do have our own methods of doing things. We watch such videos to get ideas not totally follow step by step. We only share one thing in common its just we all love our aquatic friends. Whatever it is you have in mind keep it to yourself or share your own video. Youll know how it feels to be treated by your own kind..in order certain task is accomplished we have to work together. You dont have to be rude as if youve never done previous mistakes.

Quantum Aquatic - 10 years ago

Putting java moss on a wall is fucking annoyingly hard lol but I mamaged, metal grid is better then plastic cause the platic will bend and cannot achieve tightness as metal can when putting pressure on the fishing line which prevents bending

Diverse 1961 - 10 years ago

did you plant the java trident directly into the substrate?....

Chapalap - 10 years ago

I dont see how all you people are being so negative? I totally agree this is after one day, the days i trim my moss and clean up by the next morning it literally has doubled, this is with over 2 watts per gallon at 6000k dosing ferts, CO2 and using shit fluval plant stratum and no undergravel ferts.. with that being said, the growth looks a little extreme but who know they could have added more to get more effect.. You people who have shit tanks on low budgets and no experience have no right to call this bullshit because you dont know, I personally know and have experienced how fast moss of any kind can grow and it is extreme. If i miss any trimmings at all i find out how by looking a day or two later and finding a ball of it growing behind a rock and i just say, ah yes, Thats where it got away to.. Do it yourself and find out for yourself before calling bs. You might just be surprised

Julio Mingui - 10 years ago

Very nice use of the background.. Thanks for sharing!

m3power326 - 10 years ago

what kind of plant is that large tall one?

Tropica Aquarium Plants - 10 years ago

Nymphoides 'Taiwan'

brunex - 10 years ago

just incredible

Mr Robsterr - 10 years ago

i think its safe to say, stop being dumbasses and realise they meant weeks instead of days.

Sandy Day - 10 years ago

Also, they use different type of moss, during set up its most likely java and the result is Christmas tree moss? What the fudge! get real! the best of moss can't grow super fast like this in just one day, moss is well known for its slow growth. Its all BS!

Sebastian K. - 10 years ago

actually it is 84 litres

scharliess - 10 years ago

Magnificent.
But... C'm on, after 1 day? After 7 days?

words4eternity - 10 years ago

far better explanation than other videos

DisFunkShonCity - 10 years ago

lets be real, the timeline is complete BS, they just want you to buy their products.

waimel08 - 11 years ago

What kind of moss you used and where did you get it?

mr. TC - 11 years ago

7 days...liar liar! n second...its just a bunch of moss!!! haha i design natural habitats/wild aqariums n luv a good aquascaping...but this is just BS man.....u put grown plants n moss in there n tell us it grew! haha what did u use then...STEROIDS???? xD

Alex Fuxx - 7 years ago

look at that rocks, they are at steroids too :D

p79cubwolf - 10 years ago

After 1 day?On the first image is after a month minimum. hehehe I agree with you ;-) what surprises me is the substrate... aqua gravel, only sand?

MrBajoKavka - 11 years ago

Very good job!

Emrah Dolgunsoz - 11 years ago

After 7 days? come oooonnnn!

ReBootEnzo - 11 years ago

Do plants grow better on lava rock than on driftwood?

Marcel Skrivan - 11 years ago

I can't believe, that moss will grow so much, after one day .-)

philua chow - 11 years ago

Very very very KOOL. Check out my videos.... I will be featuring this video in my channel. Thank you for sharing the how to do it information. I have a brand new 6 gallon fluval led light and pump system that I think I may try this on. Elegant!

DirtKnapp - 11 years ago

If lighting conditions, ferts and CO2 are present, it can absolutely grow that fast. Tnd these guys are pros so they know how to implement the principles required for optimum growth. I purchased some sub star grass a week ago and it doubled in quantity in two days, I was able to propagate it and increase by "lawn" substantially on my next water change. I agree, some incredible concepts on this channel,

Carmen Polanco - 11 years ago

I think I heard they are used for insulation.. because the heater does not reach all the way to the bottom, where the roots are at..

bergi85 - 11 years ago

It is a "sump" type filter. The left side has an overflow built-in and it flows to the back and is filtered, then pumped back. Similar to the BioCube.

Adam16 with SylnCez - 11 years ago

Nicely done. What were those white mats you used at the beginning under the hardscape. It looked like styrofoam. Is their only purpose to prevent scratching/cracking the bottom glass? Can you tell me what the material of the grid you used for the moss? It appears they are very rigid and metallic? II presume styrofoam and metal materials are best avoided in a tank, so I assume they are made from something else. Thanks for all your inspiring videos!

Minh Swift - 11 years ago

Pretty nice dude.

rexlinkfish - 11 years ago

Hey I have a question. I was wondering if you thought 1 T5 6500k 24watt bulb would be enough for a 10 gallon with Eleocharis parvula. I also plan to use a liquid carbon to hold back algae and osmocote+ in the substrate. What do you guys think of that set up?
