This channel follows the set up and progress of the Hangover, a 72 litre natural fresh water aquascape.
The tank project began in 2019 and is a no fertiliser, no Carbon Dioxide low tech aquarium.
The ONF Flat One 60 light is high intensity and only runs for two short photoperiods each day
60mins in the morning at 25% 5000K then 45 mins 100% at 6500K.
Then off for the day and in the afternoon 90 mins 100% 6500K and then 45 mins 65% 5100K then lights out.
The water for this tank is rainwater collected from the roof of our house and stored in a concrete reservoir under it.
The idea behind this channel is to be sustainable, to not need to get bigger or better or upgrade, but just to live and also to be mindful. Having a fishtank is the ability to look at the same thing every day, but to actually pay attention and really see the detail and notice what you are seeing.
Thanks for.being a part of the conversation! (and have a really great day!)

what kind of moss is above the water/?
Hi there, just rando collected mosses ( I don’t know about actual types) ! Thanks for taking the time
Great video!
Hey thanks so much for dropping by and letting me know;)
Dude, what a beautiful aquascape. How many gallons is it?
Hey thanks for taking the time;) it’s around 72 litres which is roughly 19 gallons:)
Is that common behavior for their species? They seem frightened
I think the big game hunters in team red are showing off their chops here…. it’s a predators strike if something tasty came of the island. I only know Team Red- if you keep an eye on the channel you will see that some days i am lucky enough to catch them doing their thing- they usually come out and noodle around for a while at the start and end and then lock into formation all day. Thanks for the interest and have a super day
That is my most favorite aquarium in all of youtube. 👍❤👍
Oh wow! High praise indeed. You have no idea how nice it is for me to hear that from you right now. From the bottom of my heart I very much appreciate you taking the time. I don’t do this for accolades, It’s just a mindfulness routine that I am using to help myself. I know what I do is dumb, pedantic. I expect to be ignored or the negativity and I like to try to show my chops by turning the upside back. When I get a truly kind or thoughtful reaction unexpectedly it truly does light me up. In the middle of a dark night you have brought me a moment of joy and I thank you dearly. Life is hard. Do good things if you can. Bonus points for each extra day Thanks and have the best possible day you and yours can have❤️
I havent seen that behaviour before in fish. Wicked!
Yeh so cool when I catch them doing cool stuff! Thanks heaps and have a super day;)
Great looking tank, what is the capacity?
stunning. whats the plant out of water?
Thanks heaps- sorry they are species unknown collected from private property in the rainforest in far nth QLD- someone will get on and tell us one day;)
I can't grow Moss 😭
Hi there! Well I can’t claim to be “growing” that moss- it’s definitely growing by itself!! Thanks for coming over and getting involved and have a great day;)
I just want to know how do you keep the alage in check
It’s just a balance at this point. I don’t keep the algae in check- I just let it do its thing;) Thanks for the interest and have a great day!
🎉😊
;)
the hidden birb leaving :(
Off to a new home! :)
That tank is magnificent! Absolutely beautiful. wow.
Oh hey thanks so much for coming and having a look. I love hearing that other people enjoy the Hangover! Have a super day;)
I'd like to do something like this. Had a stable minimal water change ecosystem aquarium for over 3 years and gave it away when I moved. Would like to restart with a rimless 20g long with some porous rock or wood breaking the surface and a canister filter with a higher flow pump. I want to position get the intake and outlet running one end to the other, substrate would be river rocks, gravel, and bagged of aquasoil for nutrients, I was thinking about clipping some plant root to the rear lip, partially submerged, trying to grow some forget me nots or buttercups. There are a lot of little tributaries that run year round from the mountains into the larger streams around me, like a little slice of that ecosystem. Animals would be mostly invertebrates, maybe some small cold-tolerant species, the crown jewel of the tank would be a crayfish.
Sounds beautiful! 😋
That sounds great. I’d thought about crayfish too but got to be careful about catching the native protected species here ..
Nice tank, cute dog, terrible title.
Thanks for having a look and letting me know! Have the best day!
It's as sweet as always. 👍👍
Hey man thanks so much for letting me know! It’s a great ( and constantly surprising) feeling to think that people actually enjoy these videos! Have the best day;)

Thanks for taking the time ❤️

0:40 what kind the aquatic animal
Dogfish?
Did you find a way to teleport a rectangle of nature into your tank? What a funny looking dog, very cute.
Thanks! Dog is super derp! The tank has definitely been a process:) Have a super day!
beautiful!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to have a look and let me know! Have the best day possible;)

:)
@@aquaescapist what types of plant you are using? Can tell me the easy grow plants name.
@@biswas_subrata the crypts wendtii and petchii- they are bulletproof
👀
;)
😊
Thanks for taking the time! Have a great day:)
the new glass inlet looking good :)
Awesome;)
great looking tank , fairplay!
Thanks so much;)
Nice aquarium. Very natural setup. I wonder how the dimensions are?
Thanks very much! It’s a custom tank 900x400x200mm 10mm low iron glass. Have a super day
What are the names of the bigger plants on top of the rock?
Sorry the topside has been collected from private property in the rainforest of far nth qld. I do not have plant names until someone gets on and tells us. Cheers and have a great day:)
❤
❤️❤️
Yayyyy! It's great to see you get a new lily pipe.
We will see how long it lasts! Have a super day;)
❤
;)
Oh, are you collecting the shrimp molts on top of the rock?
Yeh there is some composting going on up there;)
Hi! This is the perfect way for me to begin my day. Thanks for posting this fantastic aquarium.
Oh wow you are so so very welcome!! Have a super day!!
Wow
Thanks?!☺️
Are those moss on the rocks at left ? Looks soo tiny did you use the moss paint method?? Ans what moss is it ?
Hey thanks for the interest- this moss and plants are from collecting from private property or the roadside verge- I am afraid I do not have names
How long has this tank been running?
Check out the first vid here! Set up in 2020!
which plant is that emerged?
Hey there I’m sorry those plants were wild collected from private property in far nth QLD rainforest- they are species unknown until someone tells us!
What fish are they btw???
Red ember tetras:)
Didn’t get the title straight away. But yeah, they were definitely unimpressed. Hahaha
oh no :( I am sorry about the otos! they can be finicky about sudden changes in the water parameters, but I don't think there are too much alternatives for them in AU except snails and perhaps hillstream loaches/suckers (which grow large and seem to be really expensive too)
Hey thanks for the care and interest- yeh the research at the start was pretty extensive- I know that there is no algae eater like the octos- but maybe at some point I will need to consider some other type of nano “ dither fish” to help team red out? I will just see how it goes for now. Thanks and have a great day.
I'm sorry you had a mishap with the lily pipe. Still, the tank looks great.
Ahh thanks man, the lily pipe can be replaced- it’s losing all the octos in one hit like that - that really hurts!
no co2?
No ferts and no CO2
@@aquaescapist thanks
So welcome! Have a great day;)
Can you tell me what substrate you are using? and how much did you use? I would like to build something similar.
Hey there thanks for the interest! If you have a look at the set up playlist here you will see - way back at the beginning a vid where I go through the substrate set up- hope it helps;)
czcams.com/video/qGkapoPdss8/video.htmlsi=83Eiztt0xoyc4IRd It’s pretty quick Ada and he added materials to breakdown and create co2
the new moss seems to do well!
Yes it’s doing ok!👍
That's a beautiful setup!
Thanks so much for taking the time to have a look and say so;) have a great day!
What size tank?
Great tank btw
Hey there it’s custom 900x400x200
Cheers;)
Excelent video
Thank you so much! Have a super day:)
Having just awoken this is just the way to begin my day. Out of all the aquascaping channels I see, this is absolutely the perfect aquarium. I enjoyed all of the views but the closeup ones are really amazing. At the risk of being a complainer it was impossible for me to understand the audio. Nevertheless, your aquarium is amazing! Thank you for posting.
Thanks heaps! Sorry about my mumbling though!;)
