    The latest aquarium build in the new studio. The 4ft Asian fish planted tank. This will be the backdrop to my desk and will be the perfect workspace. This is the first time I have done a proper peninsula full aquarium and i LOVE it. At some stage I'm definitely going to have a huge fish tank as a dividing wall in my house. I think that's everyones dream who is into aquariums right?

    Great tank, great idea using the tights, I used coarse lava rock under my substrate. Peninsula tanks are cool, my 75 is a peninsula beside my desk, one end is a shale cliff to hide the matten filter, pumps and heater, the rest is planted with some shale in the middle like it broke off the cliff, fully planted, Eco-complete black substrate. South American theme, Angels, Rams, Tetras and Corys .

    It's censored if you know the words you know the words. It's humor. Adult humor sure but it's also a channel adults enjoy. If you're worried about kids reading vulgar comments lets be real they shouldn't be on youtube reading comments. I respect your comment but I'm also allowed to think how I would think if I was the spider running for his life while literal rocks were falling on his head from the sky. Sorry but you should lighten up a bit.
