I've been dosing ferts in my tank and still experience melting and leaves with holes and withering away.
I see that you have the plastic grid for your actual scape. How do you prevent the soil from rolling to the front?
More helpful class ❤❤❤❤
Thanks a lot bro. Can I have some guidance for my planted tank? Would you please give me your contact through which I can contect with you
I hope your guy realises he's very enuying constantly pushing the bags. Please look for a more professional man.
Following your advice, my HCC is growing like crazy even after 1,5 weeks after planting
I don't have co2 I hope it's gonna be ok I have it for few days but some leafs are melting
something people dont address and over look is something as simple as having a greenthumb. people who keep gardens (outdoor veggie gardens) and house plants transition easier into aquascaping and the world of aquatic plants. i purchased some from a local shop that wasnt running co2 in their tanks. ive been growing mine with out c02 as well. it does just fine with out it. this hobby requires patience which most people lack.
Omg this video and graphic is so unbelievably helpful!!! I feel like I finally understand how to get that lush look. THANK YOU
Dennis’s products are great in my experience. Very helpful interview.
hello, how come my stem plants would die from the bottom stem and uproot itself? is it lack of light? I can’t achieve the bush growth because plants would do this
Thanks mate. Very helpful.
Extremely helpful tip! Thank you :)
Can I find something in Home Depot like this?
After so many years... of which i can't remember, i love coming back to rewatch this beautiful and informative video. Glad it's still here ❣
my leafs have turned transparent. why?
I have just gotten to this video and it is very useful and I am going to use these tips to create my new aquascape. Much thanks!!
Hope you can come up with a product that will make tap water better suited for aquarium plants (and fish of course). We have well water that is hard, I've been thinking of getting RO filter, but I don't want to setup a mixing staging for water changes. I like the convenience of filling up the aquarium from tap.
Hmmm. I don't have a high tech tank by any means. No CO2 at all, just light. Started this plant 6 months ago from 3 specimens. Now I have half of the 120 litera tank bottom self propogated with this plant. Grows like a weed. Really beautiful, lush, stout and low. Yours seem to stretch towards the light, mine stays low, forming pogostemon hilferi medow. I am going to cut it back now. Happy growing!
Fantastic content as always, Dennis. It'll take a while to watch your entire catalogue, but I am working through it with gladness!
What’s the ideal gap between the top of the lily pipe and the water surface?
1.5 to 2 inches about there
Awesome!!! Can I ask how you attached the plants to the stone? I am looking at making my scape with wood and stone, taking your approach to use crates to lift the hard scape up. But looking to plant heavily (as you have). Thanks in advance.
All of them are superglued on ~
I love erio's, my water is very hard, but I'm still having good success with eriocaulon vietnam, but maybe one day I can have a soft water tank with some blood vomit and red erio.
There is a blog post about the species on this tank or a step by step evol?
SINGAPORREEEE🎉🎉🎉🎉
thank you!
You are one of the most informative aquarists on CZcams. Very clear, top information and no fait-divers. You destroy all the other paranoia-inducing youtubers, with all their pseudo-science. Thank you! Regards from Portugal.
hi i need your opinion im planning to scape a low tech tank but just only use bucephalandra (full buce tank) is it better to use soil capped with silica sand or without soil just silica sand better for long term? thanks in advance
really useful
5:57 This! This is what I have been looking for. I know the video is 8 years old, still, information so valuable. Thank you! Regards from Portugal.
haa you're welcome! I'm visiting next door at Spain currently ha
That was the most compact comprehensive tutorial on AR's I have ever seen. I'll use that info to grow mine better. Thanks, man!
Love the Dutch style hints to this tank.
Would a KH of 4 be detrimental or bad for blood vomit? Would it kill it?
quite likely yes, its a bit high for blood vomit
@@2hrAquarist would 8-10 hours only in it be enough to kill it? 🥹
@@_mattaeus_ I think it should be fine
@@2hrAquarist on a brand new tank where they were JUST planted with ADA Amazonia v2 + power sand advanced.. for these (centrolepis drummondiana, Eriocaulon Quinquangulare, Xyris sp red) would you use APT EI or Zero..? Seller told me she was using EI and to use that..
@@_mattaeus_ You don't need EI to grow any plant. I grow these in APT Complete; fresh soil is good, but after soil depletes over time, root tabs help
Very impressive particularly enjoyed Denis explaining immersed plants and how to fertilise in soil brilliant video 😊
Time for a start to finish video of using apt sky. I'm using it and the numbers on the bag do not add up..im using 0ppm and add 3 scoops to 15 gallons of 0ppm and inget 139 ppm
That sounds like you're in the range. Bear in mind that TDS isn't an accurate gauge of GH - hobbyist conductivity meters are very rough gauges. If you have accurate kits for Ca and Mg values, it will add up exactly.
Hello, I have one question from Japan. What is the maximum CO2 level that can be increased in an aquarium without fish or shrimp?
Hello, you can keep injecting more and more CO2, but eventually the off-gassing rate from the water surface will make it difficult to keep injecting more. I have heard of cases where the tank has a 2 pH drop, and 60-70+ppm of CO2. There are diminishing returns to more CO2 though, so beyond a certain amount, you won't see any improvement in growth rates of the plants. The red Eriocaulon Quinguangulare does better at 40+ ppm CO2 than say at 30ppm or below, but it is the exception. The large majority of aquatic plants do not need very high CO2 levels to grow well. In nature style tanks with easy plants, the tank can be grown with 10 - 15ppm CO2 without issues. In fact in such cases, low CO2 may give less trimming work as the plants grow more slowly.
@@2hrAquarist thank you. So, I'm thinking of managing it at 30ppm as before.
Hi sir, please make video on growing hygrophila araguia sp.chai. from TC and emersed, also care
Hello, you can check out our webpage on growing hygrophila chai ! Most of the info is there: www.2hraquarist.com/blogs/freshwater-aquarium-plants-guide/how-to-grow-hygrophila-sp-chai
@@2hrAquarist Thank you, i have read your blogs through and through and am a big fan, i was looking for more like an video because there is very less information on it in youtube, also i learn better when i see. I have followed your eriocaulon growing video and found very good results, hence asking
Can it be attached to wood or rock?
someone please tell me what fish is that with the little flapping tipped wings
Those are pseudomugil species~
Do you still use this combination of dirt and aquasoil?
wow I am 1:00 in looking at the cherry, I am saving this already (Less time than google takes to find tits, subbed.)and can't wait to see the rest. I know I am late to the party, but will check out your channel. Take care.
Educational session. Thanks for sharing Dennis. More vlogs pls.
Can you plant this below water
Thank you for this video!
Hello Dennis, what do you think about tetra species such as Ember Tetras or Cardinals to help CPDs to come out more often ? I honestly do not like furcatus that much.
Yes they can work. Ember tetras tend to be a bit shy themselves at first I think
@@2hrAquarist Thanks Dennis, I added Embers along with guppies and it worked, they are much more bald and not running away when I am in front of the tank :) However, they are still not competitive enough when it's feeding time :(
Quit it with the ads you
Dickhead greedy motherfuckers
hi , i want to ask your opinion i just started my planted tank (currently in cycling) i think im added too many osmocote (6-13-25) during the setup i think i sprinkle maybe around 100 pellets (not sure how many but i feel i put too many )under dirt and aquasoil ,am i screwed? im planning to plant many root feeder like swords and crypts so i thought i needed many nutrients in substrate but after the setup i research if there's any effect if i put too much osmocote i read mixed report that osmocote will leach huge ammonia overtime and will kill the fauna/not safe for fauna , will damage the plant / burn the plant ,and will damage the substrate etc i thinking to start over but i want to consult to expert first . my setup 11 gallon , base layer pumice and dirt , topped with aquasoil , planning to stay in low tech for a moment , and planning to plant heavily thanks in advanced
The good thing is that most terrestrial osmocotes not designed for underwater usage leech out the majority of their components in a short time (couple of weeks). So it wouldn't leech for long term, it is the short term ammonia spike that is usually the issue. So you can try running the tank empty for a couple of weeks, do a couple of large water changes then plant. Swords and crypts are quite hardy, so they will be less affected than other plants. However, if your osmocote contains trace mix meant for terrestrial plants, it may/usually contains too much copper. That may poison the substrate layer longer term as the heavy metals bind to the soil.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I just bought a small clump for color in my new tank. I thought that the red would be a nice contrast for my deep blue Betta and the rest of the green plants.
