- Project Titan, a shallow tank of 10 gallons, challenges gravity and rests delicately within a fragile glass frame.
Unfortunately didn’t work out as desired. We can see the progress of this build from its prime to its demise.
However this project will be repurposed into something beautiful in the upcoming project. We’ll be turning this aquarium into a crab paludarium.
Part 2 in progress
Camera: Sony A7RII
Glass tank: 60 UNS (10 gallon shallow)
Filter: OASE
Steel pipes: Litiaquaria
Livestock from: Planted Aquaria
Light: Twinstar
the ending destroyed me, but excited for the future
It was heart breaking. I fought a good year to keep it at its prime but wasn’t able to …
"part 1" in the title gave me hope
@@buiscape : What happened? Was it co2 related flow issues?
I’m in an algae battle now…it’s a emersive pond scape so it’s not as destroying but man…it just ruins the vibe…
you're the definition of quality over quantity. keep going brother!
I appreciate that!
@@buiscape As harsh as it sounds, i like seeing the "fails". It reminds everyone that all the nice thumbnails and freshly scaped tanks are NOT what to expect as a hobbyist (at least not all the time). that's why the seasoned hobbyist propagates plants on the side! ^^
This is seriously one the coolest scapes I've seen, and cinematography is on point as well. Great job!
Thank you I appreciate it!
So good! Very therapeutic. Excited to see part 2.
Watching this again so I can be ready for part two 👍
ok i'm gonna need you to post more content because your videos are so soothing, well composed and you make amazing aquascapes
More to come! Thanks for watching! Working on the next currently
i am 100% staying tuned for part 2
See you in part 2 :)
Insane production quality!😮
Most elegant aquascape production online (and I've watch A LOT!!!) Music, camera work, lighting edits... gorgeous. I love the vision as you started out. Can't wait to see the next iteration.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, really appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Hope you like the ones to come!
Can't wait for the next part!
Watched 1 of your many videos last week and suddenly I found myself buying a 70L opti white Rimless tank, last week I didn't even know what that was (or the price incidentally). Thank u for sparking a new found love and a way in which I can be creative as u have done. Keep going, incredible stuff!!
I love your honesty. I know this happens because ive had this experience tooo many times. instead of window dressing it for youtube and your subscribers you tell the honest truth about aquascaping. so i salute you and although im just one person you have my sub.
I'm very thankful for your sub and comment! It's not always rainbows and sunshine in this hobby but sometimes it is :)
Awesome Aquascape!!! Awesome Sounddesign!!! Love it mate!
Thanks mate!!! Appreciate it
This was absolutely beautifully well made, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
You’re doing beautifully!
Thank you!!
Another great video, can’t wait for part 2!
Appreciate you
Wow this was amazing to watch. Your work and content is seriously top tier!
Appreciate you !
Cool looking Scape, that carpet was lush!
thank you!
This was a great video! I enjoyed the raw honesty at the end as well. This is something you don't get to see all that often in this space! I recent rescaped my biggest tank am going through some algae issues as well. It's crazy how quickly things can go from perfect to problematic.
I look forward to seeing the next incarnation of this tank.
Thank you brother! I was going to scrap this video because the project didn't workout but I'm glad everyone's enjoying the progress so far. We often see the beauty of aquascaping but it can test our patients.
The crab tank is gonna be fun!
@@buiscape This hardscape would be an awesome piece in a crab tank. Right in the middle, forest on one side,and a lake on the other! Might have just inspired myself for another build🤣
Thank you for sharing the entire process, including the tragic end. Far too many aquascaper channels show a quick build, but never show the inevitable battle with algae when balancing the tank. In the end, sometimes the algae wins. It's all part of the process, even a failed initial set up can be rescaped into a very successful one, since the entire tank and substrate are fully cycled and balanced by then.
Thank you for the kind words and thoughts. I’m finishing part 2 and hope to release it this week. Hope you enjoy the next video, it’ll be a lot better :)
Absolutely beautiful video , Love it !
thank you!
Really nice 👍
And showing what can go wrong makes it almost unique 💪
Thank you! It was definitely a learning experience :)
Great cinematography!
Thank you!
Beautiful video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Bro this is amazing I have not see an aquascape this good in so long keep up the good work!
Thank you!!!! Glad you enjoyed it
serpadesigns always makes amazing scapes check him out too
Real life aquascape, beautiful and hard yo maintain. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Really awesome...such style is exactly that kept my attention immediately, GREAT WORK!!!
Thank you! I hope you like the next ones!!! Appreciate the feed back :)
Awesome work. That centerpiece rock is beautiful
Thank you! This rock was very hard to obtain, has a little funny back story to it too haha
Bro, what’s the reason for the sand being added late in the process?
very well filmed and edited 🙌🙌
This build! I’d love to see this concept again from you
I got you brother!
Feels like a movie
Appreciate that.
you got my interest
I’m glad! Hope you like the next
Amazing Scape brother! Can’t wait to see part 2! Hopefully part 2 will maintain easier!
Thank you Felix! Appreciate you
I couldn't believe the big rock staying in place, very impressive. I thought the tank would crack. Love the quality and editing of your videos.
Same, I was concerned but it has been doing well so far :)
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching
That looks really awesome 👍🏼😃
Thanks my friend, nice seeing you here !
Oh man... I was so excited watching the video, it's too bad it didn't work out. Looking forward to see more videos. Subscribed. Regards from Portugal.
Much love, thank you!
Cool 😎
The editing is amazing to
Thank you !
ha ha ha
super final :))))
i see thousands of setting up aquarium videos but they never show the final form of their set ups.
thanks for the honesty.
If this tank turned out the way as expected it could have been beautiful haha. Next one will be better!
bro we need more of this
Part 2 is out :)
Nice cinematics - Subscribed
I’m so sad now, i was stunned by the tank ngl
I was sad as well, but it's okay. Learning process from my mistakes.
Fantastic video bro! The ending was absolutely tragic though!
Appreciate you Kevin!!!! thanks for watching bro. The end hurts :(
Beautiful video Anth. That was damn satisfying. Looking forward to the 🦀 scape in months time. My favourite view of this scape is blyxa in the corner and the cozy shadowy area...
Thanks Naz. The Blyxa was my fav too.
Made with love!!
Greetings autscaped ;)
Lots of love :)
Beautiful video, also the edit is so nice
Thank you so much!
I was all into it loving how it was turning out… then you throw that curveball with all the algae lol 😂 great video quality and if you ever need someone to take that stone off your hands I’m just a short drive away
Me too Franky, I was very excited for this project until it crashed on me 😭 I’m glad I didn’t waste this footage and can create something out of it.
I’ll keep you posted about the rock ;)
Beautifully shot video! You’ve definitely got my sub 🌱
Thank you! Appreciate the support
Finally someone who's honest about fish keeping! I love this. What was the first fish you put in to the tank? It was beautiful
Killifish
I love the typo of your video! You have so much talent! :)
Thank you! Cheers!
It happened to me. Such an amazing scape you had. My guess is too much uncovered aqua soil. I only use substrate where plants go in and I cover it with sand or pebbles. A good amount making sure no extra nutrients escape.
A lot of nutrients and the light was very low and strong. UG isn't a plant that processes nutrients and seems to lose to all kinds of algae battle. It does best in really balanced and matured ecosystems. But good advice, less soil is definitely better.
@@buiscape another tip would be for you to cycle the tank first then add plants, i know it is time consuming mine took a whole month without any plants to establish good chemical ballance, slowly i added the plants. I made a blackwater/river style scape light on 60% with no stem plants mostly crypts and grass, no algae. It really hurt you tearing apart the scape but hey the new one looks awesome too! Keep up the work! (btw flower compost its also good and does not require huge amounts, just a bottom layer of it of 2 fingers is enough, capped with pebbles then sand). All the best!
The Algorithm suggested this to me this morning. 🤣
Your title,...the epic background music,...your editing skills ,...and that scape....i was half expecting the ending to be something like the camera zooming out and to find that you are actually scaping on board a space ship rocketing thru space...🤣🤣🤣
Subscribed brother..totally subscribed...🤣🤣
Cant wait for part 2
I love it, thanks so much for the comment.I'mr really glad you found joy in this video! I wish I was in a spaceship haha. See you in the next video!
What was the first fish that was in there by himself? The reddish one (not the chili rasboras)
It looks like a Killi fish but not sure which kind.
@@ThePrdon1 I agree. It looks almost like a tiger badis but not quite. I'd love to hear from the OP
It’s a Killifish!
Great video, beautiful aquascape. I really wish you'd included some footage of the tank at the point after you added the fauna.
I wish I had more footage as well, I wanted to perfect the tank and then do more recording but wasn't able to. Maybe in the next one!
Great stuff, but I gotta be honest... I'm excited to see the crab version!
GIMME THOSE LEGGY BOIS
Crabs are gonna be fun! I gotta decide the plants, might go carnivorous…
I was wondering from the start if the UG would make it in the soil - the end gave the answer 😄 it is a wonderful hardscape and a beautiful video, I'm looking forward to the next step
Wish it made it all the way through but the set up just didn't work out. Hope you like the next part!
UG doesn't necessarily cause an algae outbreak and can hold to the soil quite well. If a section begins to float or becomes detached from the substrate, then you can uproot that area and replant, and then add extra soil adound the edges, or you can even use stainless steel wire and bend a small portion into a U shape and staple the UG down.
This is the best aquarium I've ever seen! It was so amazing and so calming to watch! It was a shame about what happened at the end though. I cant wait for part two! Do you have a rough estimate of when part 2 will be out?
It looks like it should be soon, crossing my fingers! He just posted a little teaser today
That was beautiful, shame it failed
But thank you for sharing the failure with us. I am excited to see what you turn it into in the future
Thank you, the future is coming shortly! Currently editing the next video :) thanks for watching
Yeah, an iwagumi style tank is the most difficult one, because of the small amount of plants. The overhanging rock is really beautiful, sad that the tank didnt make it but keep going 👍💪
Agreed, the next one will be fun and should work better!
Oh no! I’m so sorry! It was a beautiful tank and an exquisite video. I’m going to hit the subscribe button so I can see what comes next
It was definitely heart breaking but we'll make something beautiful in the next!
@@buiscape I’m ready to see part two! I saw your little teaser😂
Hey man! It’s simply aquatics, I love this project, but everything must come to an end and create a new beginning. Can’t wait for the upcoming scape
Nicholas !!! Thanks for stopping by the channel, appreciate the support 🫶🏻
OMG, It's Amazing (From Brasil) :)
thanks!
I love your style! Sorry the algae killed this one. Keep up the great work, though! I'll be back for sure. Ty for the great content too :)
Thank you! It’ll be back!
What's the stand/table you're using? It looks great
Found this at a kitchen appliance shop
nice edit
Thanks!!!
such a nice video :d new sub
Thank you!!!
Waiting for the resurrection of this beautiful project 🤞
Regards
Thank you! Hope to not disappoint !
One of the best scapes in the world !!!!
haha thank you!
Beautiful tank, big fan of shallow tanks.
Seems like a ton of light for such a shallow tank. Makes me wonder if it caused the algae problems.
Agreed, it was way too much light. In addition to the sun light it was receiving.
Awesome setup and beautiful shots. Which lens did you use?
Thank you! Lens is 24-105mm
@@buiscape Thanks! I'm thinking of buying Sigma Art 24 -70 E-mount it doesn't have such as big zoom but has a little lower F 2.8
genial, que bnuena producción tienes, por favor sube mas videos !!
Thank you! Will upload more for sure, appreciate your support
@@buiscape estaré atento, te sigo en instagram, tu trabajo es inspirador, que equipo de grabación utilizas ?
why so much algae may be too much light?
but thats a great piece of stone ..i must say did you glue it or it was one piece?
It gave that wow feeling
The light was too strong, and close to the tank. Should have been placed higher tbh.
In terms of the rock it’s actually one big piece balanced on top of the first rock placed in the tank. I secured it with glue just for reassurance.
what a plot twist
what species was the red fish? i love its colors and would seriously consider stocking in my 20gal planted.
That was a killifish! Really cool guys but I had to return him because he was too aggressive. Very intelligent and curious species though. Do some research on them first before you consider keeping them to make sure its suitable for your tank. They have a short life span.
@@buiscape thanks for the reply! that’s what I thought it was but I was just making sure. and yes no worries research is always a condition before I get any fish lol. 👍
Ever since i have been subbed to your channel 4 hours ago i been waiting for part 2, how long do u think, i find this super fascinating
Haha, I'm currently recording part 2 right now. Once I get to the planting stage it'll probably take another 4 months however for things to grow in.
@@buiscape Well i guess i better watch all your other videos by then!
@@MrGrantGregory haha I’d appreciate that !
@@buiscape 4 more months?? 😢
@@jenpink4298 I've already started planting last week. It'll take 4 months to fully grow in. I wish I could speed up the process
very nice 💯 new sub for you and keep it up 👍
Thanks for the sub!
Amazing scape, too bad it didnt turn out how you wanted, hope for the best in the upcoming projects. Just wondering what was the one red fish stocked before you introduce3d the other fishes?
That was a Killifish!
UG, my old friend, and nemesis! Haha. I like your method of adding the sand after the plants have grown to limit algae growth on the sand. Sorry to hear about the algae infestation. What was the main cause of the algae outbreak?
Light was low, sunlight also played a factor, not enough plants im sure as well!
Also the rocks maybe, I'm strugling with tous amano rocks, the change of parameters (kh and pH) make grow algae.
The project was amaizing dude. I Hope this experiencia make you beter and keep going!
beautiful way to show your aquascape built. maybe the algae problem is due to too little water change, I change 50% every week, and I try add as little fertilizer as possible, not to much food and the right CO2 balance is also important and 8 hours light max. add beneficial bacteria. 🙂
Thank you! I did heavy water changes before it crashed, even 50% (before adding fish) but I didn't have enough plants, light was very strong and also the tank was set up near a window so sun light was also a factor. It was ambitious and difficult trying to control all the variables.
@@buiscape yes sunlight is not good, and many plants is a good thing. 😊
👏🏽👏🏽 🇧🇷
whats the black you filled the tank with stuff called looks super cool
I believe you’re referring to the soil?
@@buiscape ah thanks i thought it was gravel😅
What is the larger fish called? So beautiful!
If you're asking about the red and blue that is a killifish
The first red fish was that a Killi fish ? And what type of Killi?
I believe it's a red eggersi killifish!
Шикарный аквариум! Но в конце прям обидно! Как так вышло?
hi.. did you wash the sand as the description on the package says?
Little rinse
Can you explain why you only added the sand 2 months after the tank is set up?
I wanted the UG to carpet first and knowing it’ll take weeks to months I wanted to add sand in after to prevent it getting dirty over time.
Adding it last makes the tank look fresh and new
Why did you wait to put the sand in?
Do you use CO2 in tank?
Yes, CO2 was used
Why is this shit so epic😨😨😨😨
Haha thanks Richard !
omg you just buried the snail !! ;)
Oh, and consider a dark-start - you wont have that problems ever again.
Haha you noticed! No snails were harmed 😅 I’ll definitely look into dark start!
Was my first thought too. I never successfully grew ug and the are notoriously fickle esp with new setups. Dark start is however so low impact I think I’ll try again and do it also with a single massive stone. Well done
@@duncanmiller5493 Dark-Start and "low impact" in one sentence. Funny.
more video please!
A video coming soon!
Part 2 is out :)
What kind of killifish is that? Eggersi?
Even with all those floating plants you lost to algae? That should not be, as floating plants absolutely decimate algae.
Unfortunately not the case, hair algae took over the roots of the frog bit. This tank was also placed near a window in which I was hoping I could balance together with everything else.
I have another tank placed near direct sun light using Hornwort to decimate the algae though!
@@buiscape Word up nobody f**ks with hornwort.
What's the name of that bright red fish(with blue), is is some kind rasbora
That's a killifish!
How did you get this beautiful ug carpet🤩💚
Trimming, water changes and good lighting... until everything got destroyed :')
LOL went from wow how epic to how sad
Hopefully we can resurrect this project to something amazing
such a sad ending 😥
I know :(
what kind of rock is that?
Seiryu Stone
Utricularia is very hard to grow. Its roots don't hold onto the soil
