- Watching this 180 days evolution has been quite enjoyable and instructive. Once again, I'd like to emphasize that fewer fish, more plants, and sufficient light can prevent algae issues. We should patiently wait without stressing the ecosystem.
Thank you so much for watching this video!

This is the most relaxing aquarium setup video I've ever seen. I wonder if we sometimes become too perfectionistic about an ecosystem needing water filters, CO2 systems, various substrates, and chemicals, forgetting about a natural ecosystem like this one.
Thank you so much!
I have a big aquarium (besides 5 other smaller aquariums I have) but I'm just too lazy to maintain it, has been months without water change, the water has gone 45% and needed to turn off the hang on filter (the water level is to low), The water is brown. The fish still alive without oxygen, the vallisneria-gigantea almost took over the tank. Yes, aquarium with plants needs no extensive maintenance.
Man, to have a setup like that, I'd be sitting in front of it for hours peacefully enjoying the simplicity of all the inhabitants of said ecosystem.
It’s perfect, enjoy!
@peaceofnaturee Currently, I am with my 20 gallon long (yet to reveal it on my channel atm). But at some point, I wanna go bigger like you and many others who enjoy a huge slice of nature indoors. One day, it WILL happen. It just may take longer.
Earlier this week after a few months of preparation I finished setting up my first fish tank. I'm applying the same philosophies as you and watching your journey with this thank excites me about the journey I am about to embark on with mine. You were an absolute inspiration in determining what I wanted my fish thank to be and for that I will be eternally grateful.
Thank you for your kind comment. We need to be a bit patient with setups like this. I hope you succeed, and I wish you the best of luck.
All my tanks except the external big pond have no filter and Cristal clear water, I still don't understand why people get so amazed with that. As if nature needs an electric filter for its ponds and lakes...
Some ponds do work well with no filter, rising and falling with the seasons, but most natural lakes and ponds are fed by a river or spring and have an output beyond simple evaporation, flow and water change are part of most natural waters, obviously the Dead Sea has no output beyond evaporation.
@@williammcdowell6257 i disagree.... Most lakes and ponds don't have a strong flow of water in the whole body... Rivers do, and that's another story. Even the ocean is not nourished with oxygen from the movement above, but by the algae and plants in it.
@@supremepeace. Just for accuracy I didn't write about 'strong flow' certainly most lakes have flow but it wouldn't be a flow comparable to the say the strong turnover of around 10 times an hour turnover for a filter, as some recommend. I also never mentioned aeration, i.e. putting oxygen from the air into water. In fact I haven't personally used aeration on my tanks for over three decades.
Please, there is nothing to be gained by disagreeing with me on things I didn't write. The Bann river feeds and discharges from largest British Isles lake.
I am fundamentally keen on essentially nature based approaches to the hobby. But most ponds and lakes are not bodies of stagnant water even if there is no immediate visual evidence of a river or stream (often a seasonal stream) feeding in and out, often with small bodies of water, water often percolates in from the soil etc. and is evaporated off or runs slowly under the force of gravity from the pond. Water is also often lost from bodies of water by transpiration from plants and plants being eaten by herbivores. Transpiration is a major loss of water from bodies of water not fed by streams in the summer, come the autumn rains, and the re-emergence of seasonal streams, and the autumnal loss of foliage, the water is replenished. That is how most apparently stagnant ponds operate.
@@williammcdowell6257 My God you wrote so much, ok nice I have read everything, thanks.
Because an aquarium is not a piece of nature...
Tank size and the amount of plants and fish is why no filtration can work. If you have a small tank, it's harder to achieve. But balance between plants and the amount of fish is key.
You’re so right. It’s possible to make no filter in small tanks too, as you said balance is so important. In coming weeks I will publish a video about nano filterless tank with nano fish.
But can you run a big cannister filter on a dirtied tank?
@AndrewCooper-jq5ny If you want you can but it’s not necessary.
Absolutely beautiful, I look forward to continued updates on this tank and future projects! Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 I’m trying to give my best time for this hobby beside my job. Hopefully in the future I can focus on them more.
Such a beautiful video, and very helpful to me as I’m about to set up my first dirted, sand capped, planted ecosystem. This video is so inspiring, encouraging, and full of useful information! It was really helpful that you demonstrated over feeding. Everyone talks about it, but as a beginner, I was really happy to see it shown so clearly. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I glad you like it!
Has demostrado que no hay límites en el Acuarismo, y con paciencia y de la manera más natural se puede tener este hermoso hobby; Felicidades desde México 🇲🇽
that is the reason most don't use dirted tanks.. we can rescape or mess with the substrate or pull out rooted plants.. also I had big problems with assassin snails they harm smaller nerites and also ram horn snails which eat algae
Nice informative relaxed video.
Kids play sand is a good cheap source of river sand, 15KG for £3. Its not always river sand so read the info on the back.
I wash it a few times to get rid of mud and powdery bits of sand.
Its labour intensive washng your bodyweight in sand, but its worth it over paying £16 for 7.5KG of sand from aquarium shop.
Thank you so much! Play sand is usefull! I’m using it too.
One of the best aquarium setup, I seen ever congratulations
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Marvellous it felt so good and peaceful while watching them. Love'em bro appreciate your efforts ❤👏
Thank you so much! 🫶🏻
It keep growing more beautiful. You did a great job on this aquarium. I hope it continues to give you pleasure for many years ahead.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
This was awesome and most educative one so far, loving it! 😍🥰😘
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
@@peaceofnaturee You are doing an amazing job here without using Co2, and so on. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! 🌿🍃
Absolutely stunning man! Wow! 💚
Thank you so much!
in the left corner you can see internal filter. He said - no filters, no water changes, everything is real in this video. :D :D :D
If you had watched the videos carefully, you would have learned that the internal filter is empty inside and that I only put it in the tank for surface movement. Let's look at it this way: the person who thinks this is a lie also believes that a tiny internal filter can filter a 660-liter (170-gallon) aquarium.
I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this beautiful tank.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🌿
really pretty tank
love how informative you are, you have the perfect narrative voice!
i'm inspired to create a similar ecosystem hopefully it will be successful like yours!!
Thank you so much! Good luck for your setup! It’s AI voice.
Understock your tank, don't over feed and have lots and lots of plants, you do that and maintaining water quality is very easy
Yes that’s what I’m talking about. 🙂
Use soil when you never plan to touch your aquarium again.
No uprooting plants, no rebuilds. Just scape and leave it alone aside from some trimming or adding materials
In nature there is no filter or air stones and fish survive. Just like in the ocean. ❤
nice ecosystem. Thank you for upload. Looking forward to future update.
Thank you so much!
Dude.... absolutely loved it❤❤
Thank you so much!
Blessings and thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing.
You’re very welcome!
This is true aquaristics should look like, clap clap bro! Make some more
Thank you so much!
This makes me want to try the ecosystem too. A perfect adventure.
Yes, I love this adventure. You should try.
It's the only way you should setup a tank..
gorgeous tank
Thank you so much! 🌿
really nice. inspiring
Thank you so much!
Perfect setup 😇
Thank you so much! 🙂
Harika olmuş hocam eline sağlık.
Çok teşekkür ederim. 🌿
I love it! ❤
Thank you!
Beautiful aquarium!
Thank you!
Continue with type of this video
Perfect work ❤
Thank you so much! 🌿🫶🏻
Beautiful setup ❤ and i got one more reason to buy another tank 😅
Thank you so much! 😂😂🌿
Beautiful tank❤
Thank you!
good and informative video
Thank you!
Perfect video❤❤
Thank you so much!
this is so amazing to see! i remember commenting on the very first video of this ecosystem and i still really love your tank! i set up my second tank 2 days ago. i used a 2 inch soil substrate but when i added the water too fast, it made the water completely brown. should i just do a 100% water change and pour it again slower?
really love your content and i cant wait for more
Thank you so much! I think your water will be clear in a week. If not you can change %20-30 water but before adding fish.
This has to be the most beautiful example of a low tech tank
Thank you so much!
Absolute beauty! Thank you.. I can see a heater. What temperature do you keep?
Thank you! Sometimes I’m not being at home for a few days. These days I close home heater and I use heater for my aquariums. Temperature around 26c.
Beautiful
Thank you?
very inspiring
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous Pond that you can lose time in it... So jealous of it 😍😍 and Wish you for more creative endeavours. I hope one day I afford to make a more to this... Insha-Allah...
Thank you so much!
With your knowledge n experience..adding a filter will be a step forward..
Thank you so much!
Perfect.
Çok teşekkürler.
Absolutely stunning 😍
Thank you!
@@peaceofnaturee Do you think this would have worked with fish who like to dig? With all the movement of substrate and such?
GRATITUDE💥🐟💥
🙏🏻🌿
Thank you for making & sharing this HUGE endeavor. Proof that bigger is better ❣ Your demonstration of how to control algae is such a key lesson in aquascaping, Such a beautiful creation ! One thing that I'm wondering about, and to some, the most important stage of aquarium culture, is the "cycling" of this huge slice of paradise. Did you skip this step ? Also, is there overhead lighting for the Monstera plant, or is it surviving on just the aquarium lighting ?
Thank you so much! I was talking about cycling process my other videos. I didn’t talk about it in this one. All of my aquariums in my livingroom and terrastial plants have day light.
My favourite tank on yt❤
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Superb ❤
Thank you!
It’s very nice 👍🏾
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
I found a small flaw in the information about the assassin snail.
The assassin snail also eats large snails, there are video's about it. He has like a small saw mouth and puncture his pray. Small or big.
They also can eat weak shrimp or shrimps that are molding
Thank you for information. 🌿
Who needs filters when you have nature on your side? ❤
😄😄🌿🫶🏻 love you mate
Harika video! Yerli üretim ifadesini görmesem Türk demezdim. Eline sağlık!
Çok teşekkür ederim! 🙏🏻🌿
hello from my fishroom channel in chicago, where I am an awestruck subscriber to yours! tell me if you can is the fast growing feathery pink and gold stem that you keep pruning Rotala Wallichii?
Hello! It’s type of Myriophyllum.
wow beautiful
Thank you so much!
Incredible
Thank you!
I have a 30L midi tank, on which I haven't changed the filter or water in 180 days. I perform only top up 3L water every few days of evaporation. The water is clear. I need to maybe syphon some loose dirtvut its been working great with fish thriving.
Perfect! 🫶🏻🌿
im starting my own ecosystem aquarium. its only 10 gallons but im excited to see where it goes
Good luck! ☘️
Love it
Thank you!
Harika her şey doğada olması gerektiği gibi tebrik ederim
Çok teşekkür ederim.
damn its sick ! that you are able to pull this off w/o water chnage and filters .. btw,how often you feed em ?
Thank you! Sometimes once a week, sometimes twice a week. It depends.
i love it
Thank you!
Pest snails are only pest snails if you're overfeeding your fish. 👌
Super
Thank you!
Please talk more about the lighting for your setup.
👍
top👍👍
i also collected some topsil from a park nearby but the soil that i have collected doesn't seems to be as dark as yours, its browish , I am really worried if ill gain success with it or not, is there any specific type of soil i need to dig from earth ? also i have seem people following mineralization of topsoil which involve 4-5 cycles of soaking and drying the topsoil, haven't you tried that?
The most important aspect in choosing soil is to ensure that the area we are getting the soil from has not been fertilized. We must take it from an area free of chemical contamination. No, I have never done the wetting and drying process, and I don't think it's necessary.
Türkçe alt yazı olduğu için sizi anlayıp abone olarak takip etmekteyim tecrübelerinizi paylaştığınız için teşekkürler .
Ben teşekkür ederim. 🌿🙂
wonderful aquarium! can you share the led lights you're using?
Thank you so much! I have two LED lights for this tank but I got time long time ago and I don’t remember their power. These ones are cheap lights. Nothing special.
The key is severe understocking of inhabitants and dense planting. The 1st point requires alot of discipline on my end lol.
I too have a dirted tank but your base looks so cleans why is mine full of mulm .... i have to siphon it frequently... do u do it too?
I don’t siphon. Mulm is beneficial, I have mulm in this tank on the back side maybe it’s not noticeable from the video.
Very neat!! So you don't have a sponge in your internal powerhead?
I didn’t have sponge but I put something like net because of little shrimps can trap in easily.
@@peaceofnaturee thanks! Is there a specific reason to not use a filter?
can you suggest any diy light 💡 because for me its very expensive to buy plants aquarium lights so i'm confuse to what to do
what if you put the dirt in some permeable bags so it doesnt get kicked up when u rescape and stuff?
Yes we can do it.
You still have to do water changes its not like in the wild that gets topped up with rain water. It needs minerals from the fresh water
I replenish the water that evaporates.
Meanwhile I have a filter and do all kind of stupidities, trying to combat my water quality and nothing works.
While, this man -the myth the legend- lowers light and fixes it with ease....
Thx
You’re welcome.
No filter? Wow. 😊
Thank you! No filter. 🙂
TERBAEKKK!!!
Hi. Can we use compost from supermarkets as substrate?
I see people are doing but I didn’t try.
What's your fertilizing routine with that heavy plantload?
I don’t fertilize them.
Have you added any fertilizer in the dirt or liquid fertilizer in the water?
No, I didn’t.
The title staa no co2 but that's easy with some plants. Did you pick hard plants that need co2 and did you accomplish it without co2? Otherwise is pretty easy. Would be very nice if you would achieve it, when the plants really need a lot of co2
I always use easy plants. I don’t want to give you wrong information.
I have almost same looking tank like a forest but only shrimp guppy and tetra is it enough fish or shall i add more?
It’s hard to answer this question without knowing more information about your tank.
@@peaceofnaturee its a 25 gallon tank with like 12 total fishes.does fishes produce co2 for plants ?
Hi could u share what plants were used in this tank? Which plants would u recommend will thrive in a low tech tank? Thanks
Hi, here is some of plants I use and I recommend for low tech tank:
Slavonia Natans
Pistia
Subulata
Echinodorus Americanus
Cryptocoryne
Anubias
Lagenandra Meeboldii Red
Ludwigia Repens
Hygrophila Corymbosa
Pogostemon Octopus
Myriophyllum Mattogrossense
Java Moss
Pinna
Lotus
Bolbitos asiacata
Afflame
Rotala
@@peaceofnaturee thanks so much for this!
@@tesssia9500 You’re welcome!
How long the nutrients in the dirt will last ?
It can go forever.
Wow.... Do you still feed the fish 6 months in? What is the frequency? Curious about the operations day to day. In the process of setting something up with a dirted tank.
Thank you! Yes, I feed them a few times a week. Sometimes once a week.
@@peaceofnaturee I am guessing they can go without feeding completely? I am guessing this is almost a reward/treat? Seems from your ecosystem there is enough for them to eat from the plants produce themselves?
@aadds4157 Of course, there are small organisms and microorganisms in the water that fish can feed on. However, I would like to point out that if we don't add these organisms to the aquarium ourselves, it takes a long time for them to develop in the aquarium naturally. I didn't introduce these organisms to the tank from outside; they formed on their own over time. However, the ecosystem is only 6 months old. I don't think the organisms that have appeared in this time period are sufficient to provide enough food for the fish. More time is needed for that. To be sure, I continue to feed the fish.
@@peaceofnaturee Thank you that confirmation. I will start with a "clean" set up and not introduce the organisms from outside. Not feeling brave just yet or have the knowledge just yet to be prepared of what will come. So will attempt and follow what you did. Start, get it up and running for 6 months and from there I will reconsider and take up more knowledge on it before going ahead. Thank you!!!
@aadds4157 Sounds perfect! Good luck 🍀
What do you do for algea control?? Is the plants are enough??
I’m talking about algea in this video. Less fish, more plants. 🙂
สวยงาม
🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@peaceofnaturee I did the same as you did 2 weeks ago, now it's starting to grow nicely, thank you.

6:33 What's that water surface movement at 6.33 ?
I couldn’t see something?
@@peaceofnaturee the movement like waves.
I am here at 14.8K subs
Welcome to the jungle!!
❤❤❤
🙏🏻🙏🏻🌿
So you dont cut the leaves or feed the fishes ?
Sometimes I trim plants for esthetic reasons and sometimes I feed the fish.
But when i do water changes, it promotes my plants leaf size and colours and growth i tried with no fertz also. It works fabulous for me
Perfect!
Freshwater Ecosystems have massive water changes, it's called rain. People should keep fish in the best possible conditions and that requires a bit of effort.
Fish and plants conditions are good. I tap water every week, you can take this as a rain . We’re not losing any water in this tank.
Did you use fertilizer?
I didn’t use fertilizer.
I notice you collect a lot of the items from the beach, what about the salt on and in them?
I never see bad side of collecting rock and woods from beach.
@@peaceofnaturee oh wasn't saying it was bad but what about the salt on it? If you are doing a fresh water set up
A very small amount of salt is also found in fresh water. The salt content that comes from rocks and wood is harmless.
