The Shallow Ecosystem on My Desk (150 Day Evolution)

  • Cutting an aquarium in half is not the best of ideas but it's a lot of fun. You can always DIY a something interesting out of the wreckage, and in this case I went on a journey of restoration and built an ecosystem. There's something about shallow fish tanks that appeals to a lot of people, and I thought my desktop was just the right place to appreciate mine (so that my fish can judge my every move while I edit videos about them).
    Follow along as the fish tank develops the natural way; with no filter, and no co2 injection.
    Happy to answer questions in the comments :)

      This is the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus
      Zechariah 13:7
      “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
      The Shepherd here is Jesus.
      John 10:11
      “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
      This is the fulfillment of the prophecy.
      Matthew 26:31
      Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “’I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
      This happened near 30 to 33 AD.
      Hosea 6:1-2
      Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds.
      After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.
      In prophecies 1day is equal to 1000 years. Which means after two thousand years Jesus will return again.
      And on the third day which is the 3rd millennium, we will live in his sight. We all know we cannot see God's face and live on Earth. So it's the second coming of Jesus.
      Luke 21:11 ►
      There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
      Matthew 24:6
      You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
      We are the witnesses of all these things. From the death of Jesus to 2030 - 2033 there are 2000 years. Jesus is coming soon. Let's all repent and turn from our old ways and turn to the Lord.
      Praise the Lord.
      Peace and Love to you all
      Easter is pagan, the resurrection day of the Lord is correct and please stop taking the Lord's name in vain like saying omg or using it with a bad word or taking it in anyway that is in vain. Even the devil trembles in his name and we shouldn't use the powerful name like that. For the people who says Jesus is not God here's a verse.
      Isaiah 9:6
      For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
      Everlasting Father?. There's your answer
      The whole world will turn against Israel and not just Palestinians. Then know the end is near.
      God bless you all

There isn't much like it in this niche - dry humor, goofiness, thrift appreciation, blatant honesty, modesty (even if carefully crafted - any attempt at the same is increasingly rare in the aquascaping/terrarium-building realm), and ridiculous sound effects. It's apparently scratching an itch for a number of us.

    It is diabolical that you have had the extreme patience & willpower to gather this much footage over so much time and to be able to bring it all together so perfectly into 3 fascinating video stories that catches me and so many others deep in our feels. 3 videos? This much polish? That many views in such a short period of time?
    Obsessed and grateful for your content. It is like a whole-body, meditative hug. Your builds are gorgeous without being fussy. The commentary is clever & not excessive or overdone. The editing feels light & fresh even though much thought must have been put into them.
    Please document & release more content on the inhabitants of your builds. Their day to day life, highs & lows, updates, inter species drama, the adorable and incredibly satisfying bloopy sound effects. Greedy ask I know, but… it never hurts to ask. The builds are what draws me in, but it is the daily lives & drama of the inhabitants that hold people like me fast. Thank you so much for your content!

    Best aquatics videos along with the "no filter no co2 betta tank" that uses vegetables and fruit to filter water. I like that you aren't a youtuber in your presentation. You are a storyteller, an artist, and a human. I hate how commercial, formal and disingenuous we've become in youtube videos. This is a wonderful way to present your work, and the music and footage is top notch. Don't change anything and just enjoy the hobby for yourself like you seem to be doing currently!

    as a habitual and severe under-stocker, I was shocked that you managed to cram a gourami, some guppies, some corydoras, and some gobys all in a tank approx. 40L/11gal big. But clearly that tank has an ecosystem robust enough to support them all! great video

    Most youtubers have to spend years putting out a video every week for those kinds of numbers, and from what i know about youtube monetization that's this channel generates a living wage now level numbers.
    This guy creates serious art, mixed with science which is my favorite kind of art! So he deserves the success for sure. I just hope he uses the success to create more great content, because I'm greedy for this kind of content.
