Nice idea, thinking of somthing like that for my home :-) and love the products of ARKA. Go on like This!!!
Congratulations 🎊 you are the winner of the giveaway!
You create some of the most unique nano tanks I've seen on CZcams.
Thank you 🙏
Looks like the inside of a cave. You done a great job getting the scale perfect with these two.
Great choice of shrimp as well ☺
Sometimes it helps to start with animals first and tailor the layout for them
@@JurijsJutjajevs The perfect system! I do the same with my paludarium builds! You get better behaviour this way as well. It's a great methodology to use.
I think I might go this route more often in my future projects
I realy like the Ideas for this Aquariums. The DIY Filter as well as the two combined Aquariums 👌👍
Mal wieder richtig inspirierend und einzigartig was du da gezaubert hast. Wahnsinns Effekt mit dem übergehenden Hardscape. Und auch echt krass, dass du bei der Beckengröße nen Filter untergebracht hast! Respekt wer´s selber macht!
Danke für das Lob!
I would love to see an update on this setup in the future. As well as your experience with these type of shrimp. What you will feed them and how to keep the water parameters etc. anyways, awesome setup and very inspiring!
I already found a breeder who I will source my animals from and in part 2 I’ll explain everything water related
@@JurijsJutjajevs awesome! Looking forward to it, I absolutely want to scape a tank for some Sulawesi soon 👍
Try to find captive bred animals, I was told wild caught Sulawesi have a very high mortality rate
@@JurijsJutjajevs that would make a lot of sense. There is another content creator named frankey jones and he keeps them in soft water conditions (no crazy maintenance or anything specific) and has had extreme success. I hope you find the same!
Guess where I’ll get mine from 🤫
Love this little build!
actually this is nice idea to my struggle with nanoaquariums, that if you put them next to each other they do not just blend and its too much chaos.
Thanks for choosing this glue as a giveaway.
Should I giveaway the used products or brand new? 🤔
Love the details in such a small scape! the roots really gave it that extra touch that it needs to enhance the complexity of the scape
They literally tie everything together
I really love the creativity that went into to this. Not done before and lots of fun. I do like the added details of the roots!
Thank you, I definitely left my comfort zone for this one 😅
such an inspiration!
very interesting project ;) i´m very exited about the end result. 😊
I really like how your videos changed, it seems that the direction of your projects growned up. Loved the diy thing 👍
That glue make things so easy, good product 💪
I would put only moss and small epiphytes!
Can you explain how this video, or the later videos are different from previous ones ?
so nice ! really good scape
Thank you 🙏
klasse idee mit den filtern ... und tolle scapes wie immer !
Danke 🙏
wonderful aquascape :)
Amazing layouts and the ideas for the filter and the hard scale display is awesome! Great video jurijs! THANK YOU!
Thanks Mike, hope you’re doing well?
This is a really great idea. I like this double layout, you did it superbly!
Thanks buddy, means a lot to me 🙏
Love it, use to be a big fan of mattern filters using airlift. But I think your method may be superior. Great video
I was thinking about using an airlift, but had concerns about noise and splashes. I think with only 2 tanks the power consumption is more or less the same and I have less tech around and overall build cost was cheaper
I love the idea of having two tanks next to each other and hard scape that appears to be going through both tanks such a clever idea!
Next I might construct a “water bridge” so that the shrimps can travel from one tank to another 🙃
@@JurijsJutjajevs this is a great idea!
Thanks from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Thanks for watching, I hope to visit one day
Great DIY work💪🏻 can't wait to see the shrimp in there new home🌿🙌🏻
Thanks 🙏 you think I should do more DIY in future?
@@JurijsJutjajevs Definitely🙌🏻
beatiful! I am thinking to make from 3 parts .. one . thanks for your idea and your work!
One can make beautiful things with equal tanks next to each other 😉
Great idea! The scape looks awesome - looking forward to seeing how it progresses.
Hey Courtney thanks for checking in, I cannot wait my self, but the next part takes time 🪴
Das sind wirklich tolle Scapes und richtig schön natürlich 🤩 hätte auch mal Lust auf sowas, gerade Kardinalsgarnelen finde ich mega 😊✌🏼
So ging es mir auch und schon bald kommen Sie!!!
A great idea of aquascape🍃🍃🍃
Love from indonesian scaper❤❤❤
Thanks for watching
What a stunning hardscape! Very well done, it looks perfect!
I wouldn't use many plants, because it hides the little details of the hardscape.
I like weeping moss, but it could be a pain to maintain it in a long term. Fissidens fontanus would look great too.
Yes, a few slow growing plants will be ideal
Thank you. Interesting and non-standard solutions. Good luck with your hobby.
I would use just buce in that tank. Beautiful!
Small Buce sounds good 👌
Hey Juris , Yesterday I was watching MJ's video wondering about the new Gallery space in their new place and I had to go straight to the only person / creator who has always made usable space work better than any other Aquascaper . That's 100% true from everything I have watched , and not that long ago I was watching the video from one of your trips to Denmark when you were @ Michael Mikkelson's home !!! I got a great idea for creating my next scape based off of "what I would have done differently " 😉 Which is definitely the 1st of many things for me 1st UNS aquarium , 1st Iwagumi & 1st time growing a carpet and the best part is that this will be my 1st scape using my UNS Mini regulator with my 1st paintball cylinder. Until now I have been using the 95g disposable bottles . Do you remember what size aquarium he had ? wish me luck ... Hopefully you can swing over to Mark's new place and if you do have fun 🇳🇱🇩🇪
I already have a trip planned to the Netherlands in April, let’s see what’s possible 😉 regarding Michael’s tanks were 45 and 60cm big
i love how these came out. wish i could get small frameless tanks like this. Would have fun with them.
Aren’t they widely available?
@@JurijsJutjajevs I have not seen this is the U.S. The only frameless ones i have seen are the saltwater frameless for a ton of money. Guess i will have to get glass precut to size at a glass place. only thing i can think of.
UNS is a brand from US, they are sold everywhere, even on Amazon. I have a link in the description
@@JurijsJutjajevs ty
Great. Just started keeping shrimps months ago. I really enjoy. Beautiful
Which shrimps have you started with? Because you know, they will be more 😜
@@JurijsJutjajevs i got neos sunkist orange. I am obsessed with their behaviour. Can’t wait to see your build
Very impressive, both in imagination and execution. 👍
I was quite happy and relieved at the end
Nice setup; the sand/filter combo really working, almost looks like same surface.
That was the goal 😉
Unbelievable concept, giving the impressions that rocks are connected thru both tanks, really bring it a step above. With regards to planting small plants of your choice would fit the scape of both tanks. Looking forward to the next video.
Small plants of my choice 😂 thanks for watching and commenting
@@JurijsJutjajevs Looking forward to the next video.
Beautiful and creative! Those shrimp are super cute too 🦐
I hope they will breed in there 😁
@@JurijsJutjajevs 🤞💓
C.dennerli shrimp babies are even more adorable. Have you seen any before?
@@JurijsJutjajevs I bet they are!! I haven’t seen that kind of shrimp before. I love how they look 😽
This ia a genius idea for shrimp. Inspires me to give it a try for my next small shrimp tank.
Well done as always.
Thanks 🙏 mission accomplished 🙌
Looks great, very creative. You could do 4 or 6 of these side by side with different shrimp in each one.
I’ve been initially thinking to add different types of Sulawesi shrimps in each of them. Let’s see if I can find a different breeder colony
I need these shrimps one day
See if you can find captive breeding ones. They are more robust and sometimes conditioned to regular Caridina water parameters
Super creative use of the 16T 👌🏼
Thanks buddy, a single 16T on its own is rather slim and very vertical 😂
Matten filter in aquascape 😮 definitely a new sub here 🙌🏾
Thanks 🙏 i see a lot of appreciation for the DIY part of the project. Maybe I should try more in future projects
Sieht richtig gut aus! 😊🙌🏼
Aber ich wünsche dir jetzt schon von Herzen viel Spaß beim Saubermachen 😂
Dankeschön 😅
Very cool scape! I've been experimenting with cutting rocks myself and it's not easy lol
There are rocks that are easy to cut and having the right tools definitely helps too 😂
This is so beautiful and natural layout for best rarest shrimps. Lot of new tips for learning in this vedio. Thanks for making best vidoes for us always.
You welcome, thanks for watching my videos
Can’t wait to see the shrimp 🦐 🔥
Me too!!! I’ve been planing this for sooo long
it's amazing as always.
The only thing I'd do differently is to place the filter way lower and use a hose to deliver the flow upwards. That way, the particles water will accumulate in the lower part of the tank, delivering food to where the shrimps are. But for a tank that small it probably wont make any noticeable difference.
I think it will circulate just perfect, we will see. I can still modify the filter outlet if necessary
Great job mate
Use a concrete disk on a angle grinder brother so easy
Love ur work ❤️🇦🇺
Haha 😂 next time
Great scape Jurijs! I would love to make a scape and keep some Sulawesi shrimps…I love Wio and all their amazing products 👌🌿
Awesome, whenever you’re ready to order something from WIO, consider ordering from their website and use my code to redeem a free mystery gift
I would love to see these two with contrasting plants/color schemes. Maybe in one, you go for Anubias Nana and Nana Petite, regular solid green on bottom, golden in the midsection, and white on top. Maybe some Christmas or Willow moss to compliment. That gradient sounds gorgeous to me, though. Then, in the other, something more chaotic. Maybe a colorful crypt or some Rotala Wallichii, with buces and more moss to tie the two together aesthetically.
Interesting ideas to consider. Thank you 🙏
Wow Jurijs they look amazing. Can’t wait to see them with the shrimp in. I think some Buce Kedagang would look good on some of the rocks
I’m afraid kedagang might already be too big. Mini types only
I really like it!! The tank size isn’t to my liking personally but you have done an amazing scape as always!!
It’s tricky, I think I’ve chosen it to show a variety of different sizes. Technically a UNS 5T or similar would have been a better choice. But then again, no rocks floating in the middle..
Just started a dry start aquarium. The sole purpose is for giving my shrimps a nice home. I'm gonna be patient. I do love these Sulawesi shrimps. Beautiful 😍
Sounds great. Make sure to not overwater your DSM and use springtails to make it bioactive
Maybe holes in the rocks to fit neodinium magnets, so rocks can move, I'll give it a try. The scape looks crazy.❤❤❤
It was my first thought. Then I spent hours searching for magnets that are water proof. And then I realized it will be impossible to put the tanks close to each other as I would have to keep distance for the outside magnets or the hardscape will crash whenever I have to move the tanks apart …
Nice Rocks 😅❤️ love the technique
Thanks 🙏
Most inspiring aquarium guy on CZcams for jurjis
Thanks Richard 🙏
Great build! I would use tiny buce and/or anubias.
Sounds good 👍
amazing, I want some of these shrimp, but in a bigger tank
Go for it, try to find a breeder, captive bred Sulawesi shrimps are much easier
Nice layout, I like this shrimps, I have them too
Are yours adapted to regular water or do you keep yours at Sulawesi parameters?
In all my tanks I use ro water with minerals, in the sulawesi tank the parameters are
Gh 8
Kh 4
I found this is the best for them to breed, But it depends on where you got them from, and what parameters they were used to...
The ones I'll get are from a breeder who keeps them at regular soft water like Cristal Reds
This is so cool! I would love to see moss covered rocks. I have also been experimenting with gluing rocks to the aquarium sides but that glue looks like it makes it much easier. It doesn’t look like it’s readily available here in Australia yet.
One suggestion, if you use a masonry blade on your multi cutter it might be easier to cut the rocks.
I should have used an angle grinder with a stone cutting blade .. next time. ps: the Amazon link in video description says its shipping to Australia
an angle grinder would do the trick! Unfortunately the shipping costs more than the glue. I'll have to try and find something similar locally.
Try looking for “hobby aqua fix” or “aquarium poly glue” let me know if you’ve found something
I also want to do a similar setup with a big floating lava rock on the back with HC cuba overhanging from it like that branches❤
if its on the back of the aquarium, you can drill holes into the rock and use suction cups to mount it
Very nice DIY setup! Perfect use of your aquascaping, video, and didactc/teaching skills. Your content keeps improving with time, and all these UN nano aquarium videos are very interesting to see. The custom HMF looks terrific, too. Plantwise... what about some stonewort and Eriocaulon? Thanks for the good content!
Yes Eriocaulons would be great
Super Idee!, sieht spitze aus! Da deine Filtermatten leicht gebogen sind würde ich den Platz dahinter unter der Pumpe noch für biologisches Filtermaterial wie Seachem Matrix, Siporax oder einfach Lavabruch nutzen. 😉
Gute Idee 👍 kann aber auch den durchfluss minimieren, so wie es ist wird überall gleichmäßig angesaugt
Sulawesi shrimp is really beautiful imo and i want to breed them bcoz theres not much of breeder here even in Indonesia, most of the shrimp are taken from the wild in lakes across Sulawesi
That’s the way to make our hobby more sustainable
Is there an update coming on this one? I really liked this build watching it again!
I wish you would glue a rock on the outside of the aquarium as well. But looks awsome, great job as always 👍
I considered this, but decided not to do it. Adding things in the outside will make the 2 tanks more of a show piece, but they wouldn’t work on their own afterwards as one side would remain empty and the overall look of the gallery would be messed up
Ben kesinlikle part ikiyi istiyorum bunun devamını Instagram ve CZcams dan takip ediyor olacağım
🎉 Gerçekten çok ilham vericiydi 🎉👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you 🙏
Love it. Curious to see how you would go about cleaning the filter sponges.
a. pull it out and rinse in a bucket with aquarium water
b. just syphon the surface from outside
@@JurijsJutjajevs yeah, but my question was how to ensure that shrimp does not get caught behind the filter when replacing the sponge?
Good point. For that reason I’m more towards option B. I know a breeder of Corydoras pygmaeus who is using similar filters and is only syphoning the sponge and is having great results this way. It is also less disruptive to the bacteria and creates no dirt inside the aquarium.
@@JurijsJutjajevs I selfishly would love a video of how you go about cleaning. :)
Das ist ja lustig. Habe vor 2 Wochen ein ähnliches Kardinalsgarnelen Biotop Aquarium gesehen und auch überlegt ob ich eines baue.😊
klingt spannend, wo hast du es gesehen? Und ja solltest du machen 👍
@@JurijsJutjajevs bei Garnelaxia in Wien.
Finde leider nichts auf deren insta. Wenn du Bilder hast, gerne per dm
Sulawesi shrimp would prefer 8+ ph and 28 Celsius degrees so not sure any plant is suitable but the scape design is awesome 🙌
you are right and this only applies to animals collected in the wild. The ones that captive bred can adjust to "normal" soft water parameters. The Breeder I will go to is keeping his animals in same conditions like other Caridina species.
@@JurijsJutjajevs oh that’s something new to me, I guess that’s why MJ also had his Sulawesi with plants.
Exactly 👍 and I will go to the same source like he did 😁 both of us had the idea long ago, but we had to wait until the breeder was ready to share his colony
Die Idee für diese "Zwillingsbecken" ist super! Aber was wirst du in Sachen Heizer machen?
Caridina dennerli sind unglaublich schöne Tiere. 😍 Außer Süßwassertang haben wir nichts an Grünzeug im Becken.
Es gibt sehr kleine Heizer von SICCE, diese können hinten die Schwämme, allerdings hängen direkt unter den Aquarien 2 fette LED leuchten die gut Wärme abgeben, wird vielleicht gar nicht notwendig sein. Außerdem ist der Stamm den ich vom Züchter hole an normale Caridina Bedingungen gewöhnt, sodass ich hier keinen besonders großen Aufwand betreiben muss
Nice Job!! Maybe some Anubias petite no day?? Or some bucephalandras??
Yes, definitely some of those
Let me know which plants I should add to the layout?
Lomariopsis lineata ;)
I’m thinking only epiphytes… but do only hard to find more exotic varietals ❤️🙌✌️
Would love to see some small leaves anubias, java ferns - maybe some crypts! It’s a beautiful and inspiring scape 🩵
Great work Jurijs😊 i would use some riccardia moss and buces and anubias and a fern type behind the bigger rocks in te back🌿
It would be lovely with some mini bucephalandra. .
We need an update, Jurijs! :D
It’s in the works 😜
That aqua fix looks like an awesome and handy product! 8:55 wouldn't an easier way to do that would be put one rock on, then match the second one. Saves guessing when trying to line both up at the same time?
It’s possible yes. But since there is almost 10mm of glass in between, small imperfections are invisible
Maybe some pipeworts? Their weirdness might go with floating rocks. They also like soft warm water.
I had to google pipeworts 🫣 😅 but yeah, I think they would fit well, I’m just not sure, how well they will do in nutrient poor sand substrate?
@@JurijsJutjajevs Yeah, I guess they like nutrients. Bummer because if anyone could grow them, it'd be you and that scape looks like they'd fit in so well.
How about some of the wavy/crinkled type Bucephalandras or coral reef java fern (Microsorum pteropus)?
The plan for now is to moss paint the rocks with Fissidens and add some anubias mini coin and eventually Bucephalandra needle leaf
Hi Jurijs amazing layout, use some little bucephalandras and please give us an update of the iwagumi behind you.🙂
There’s one final video on the iwagumi left. Waiting for the plants to get in shape
What was the inspiration for this scape. Or how did you come up with the idea?
I’ve always been a huge fan of Sulawesi shrimps, but never got to keep any. After I saw some impressive videos from Frank on instagram I wanted them so badly, so I decided to go the extra mile and build something specifically for them.
Rare moss only potentially for plants? Could be different
I think some moss on the rocks would look really good
Süßwassertang auf die Filtermatten
Wird nicht passieren 😂
@@JurijsJutjajevsMoos, vielleicht?😂
Nicht auf den Filtermatten. Diese sind der Hintergrund und sollen clean bleiben, da sonst irgendwann alles miteinander vermischt
Wann Update ?
Wird erstmal bisschen dauern (Moos Matsch mit Fissidens, ich will zeigen wie es aussieht sobald das Moos angewachsen ist)
Give me that glue😂
Good luck 😂
using that power saw next to your foot gave me anxiety
Ask me how I felt while using it 😂 at least if something bad happened, it would have happened on camera 🙃
@@JurijsJutjajevs gotta love that optimism xD
EVERY SINGLE TIME... something amazing is shown on real aquascaping channels...NOT AVAILABLE IN THE STATES 😡
What is not available in the states?
@@JurijsJutjajevs the glue you are using.. I cant find an alternative.
Try this link and let me know if it works: amzn.to/3T2aek7
And please explain, what you mean with “real aquascaping channels” ? 😆
I really like your videos with aquascaping, but with this obe you make me really sad. It is highly iresponsible to put endangered and not easy to bread shrimps like sulawesi (almost all of them) are into such a small tanks. How do you plan to avoid ph and temperature fluctuation during often water change (with this low water amount you have to change 5% min. twice a week) I'm breeding different sulawesi shrimps for almost 10 years and I wouldn't go with less than 60l for beginner. I mean your tamks are beautiful-especially for sulawesi tank but totaly not suitable for keeping them inside this environment from longterm point of view.
I appreciate your feedback. Let me assure you I have planned this project for a long time. The C.dennerli will come from a breeder who has adopted them to same water parameters like regular Coridina shrimps. I don’t know if this project will be successful (my goal is to breed the animals) but I will try my best and at least it is an attempt and it will not damage any of the wild population as I will only use captive bred specimens
Thanj you for your fast response-I though you'd delete my comment :-)
The issue I see here is, that you will inspire your followers to do the same...smal tank, uncontrolled water parameters, uncontrolled temperature and on top of it tap water instead of PROPERLY mixed sulawesi 7.5/8.5 - this is big NO GO for these shrimps.
I think you should wait and see part 2 video before you make conclusions. The cup of water can always be half full or half empty. The difference is in the perspective
I bred Sulawesi for many years too and agree that it is much easier and successful to keep these shrimp in larger tanks. It really does help to keep temps and parameters more stable...plus breeding will be higher and more successful. A shrimp that would be ideal for this set up is one I'm currently breeding. They are called Halocaridina rubra, aka Opae'ula...a brackish water species that are the easiest shrimp I've ever kept. You don't even need to do the typical water changes! If properly set up even feeding is optional...they eat the algae and biofilm in tank. The best part is they live up to 20 years! An amazing shrimp...it quickly rose to 2nd place after Sulawesi and may just eclipse them in the end. People are scared off when they hear brackish but in practice it is even easier than freshwater. I aim for .0012 salinity which is roughly half strength sea water diluted with RO water. Perfect shrimp for nano aquariums. The only thing I do is turn the lights on and off. Occasional top offs with RO water but haven't had to in 3 months.
@@chriscarey8169 just looked them
Up, visually very much like cherry shrimp, technically probably the sturdiest shrimp alive and gained popularity from closed biospheres. What turned me away from brackish water - it’s not fresh and it’s not salty. So what about plants and or corals? 🤷
I use Sulawesi salts for my tanks - not a lot, but just enough to condition the water & perk everyone up (new transplants).
