    In this video, I take you into the Amazon Spheres, a giant complex filled with lush plants, beautiful aquariums, and rare and exotic flora. The setup featuring in this video is a 17-foot, 500 gallon aquascape heavily planted with java fern, buce, java moss, and tiger lotus. It is also home to large schools of cardinal tetras, rummynose tetras, cherry shrimp, and a few discus fish.
    The living wall lighting was turned off when I visited, but the lush wall provides a beautiful backdrop the planted aquarium. Filled with ferns, these low light plants mimic an imagined stream bank.

    Being able to make aquascaping your full time job and being able to create these beautiful pieces for the world to see is something so special. Such talent on both sides of this video

    The only sad thing about this video is that I am afraid this is going to be the only place we will get to "see" the Amazon one day. What an absolutely amazing scape. I hope it inspires people to realise how special our planet is.

    Yes, more. This place, that tank is incredible.
    The esthetic design and ecological elements are georgous. But I also love the portion on its life support.
    I am a large fan of automation on systems. What he describes: an Apex controller, dosing pumps, an ATO, auto water change (usualy done with dosing pumps). These are elements frequently found and widely embraced in marine reef tanks, but I find very little adoption by the freshwater community.
    It's nice to see them being used here.

    What is the minimum amount of water (liters) to keep fish in an aquarium ? In Germany, no fish (no matter what species) may be kept if the aquarium is less than 54 liters. Is this also the case where do you live ? Just interesting :)

      There are no laws on minimum size. I wish there were, although I’d probably set the minimum at around 40L.
