I enjoy seeing all the different types of tanks, but the first one is my favorite.

What a treat! My fav was the 2nd aquarium - the striated "wood" mountains. I loved the big expanse of green and the openness of it.

The hardscape in 15:50 😍😍😍 it’s giving me many ideas all the aquascapes !!! Thanks for sharing them with us 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Best scape for me is actually a style that I'm not fond off but that 60P with the petrified wood mountains is just awesome

Some amazingly innovative scapes at that show! Piotr's scape as well as the mountain scape from the thumbnail are my favs!

Merci Georges, juste magnifique !!! 👏👏👏

They’re all stunningly beautiful

I do like the first tank's complexity, all the little nooks and crannies to peer into, and would love to see some corydoras puttering around in it. But I think my favourite might be the island style around 14:30. It's so lush looking! I also really like the first of the 4 tanks by Luis. The last of those 4 I'm not sure about ... I think I would like it better if it had something tall along the outer sides. Some valisneria or something, partly obscuring the tall sticks, and really drawing the eye back toward the path in the centre. Just my thoughts...

Truly beautiful set of scapes at this show George thanks so much for sharing! Gives me such inspiration future projects! My favourite scape was the very first one. Everything about it, the hardscape the planting the livestock choice and the kessil's light it all up perfectly! Amazing! Cheers!

Hello George, thank you for sharing those lovely aquascapes! Gives me so much inspiration! As I was watching (and getting into a second glass of vino...ok, a third - I’m on vacation 🍷), I had a thought and thought I’d share it with you; It would be super cool if you went over the different Lily Pipe options - what you use and why. I looked them up recently and didn’t realize there were several options for the output to change the flow. It actually inspired me (specifically, the ‘spinner’ outlet) to grab a few PVC fittings from work and MacGyver my Fluval Flex output for my darling Betta, Frank the Fish, so the flow wouldn’t be so strong. (I basically adapted a 3/4” “T” to the outlet and made the flow much more gentle). Well, he just loves it and I thought I’d share that tip for your viewers. Anyway, Lily Pipe options are a mystery wrapped in an enigma for me, and thought it might be a topic that would interest others who are just finding their flippers in this crazy world of aquascaping. PS. Also, I thought you’d appreciate that I came across a 1-2-Grow pot of hygrophila siamensis 53b, so naturally, I simply had to have it and randomly stuck it into my planted tank. 😎

For those Biorbs, pretty sure the first plant with the red spikes is some kind of Sundew. The others look to be some kind of Pitcher plant, both carnivorous.

Yes, regarding the BiOrb terrarium... the black one had a "Cape Sundew" which is the red tipped variation and the white BiOrb also indeed had a carnivorous plant, it's a pitcher plant "Sarracenia Purpurea?", pardon the spelling. And regarding the scapes the very first one with the "trees" is possibly my favorite aquascape ever!! I've tried to pull that off, and I fail miserably... GREAT VIDEO, as always! ♥️😁

Hi, loved the video! I’m really getting into aquascaping and fish stuff recently so I really enjoyed seeing all these creative tanks. I was wondering, your little black schnauzer, have you had her tested for eye problems or anything, health problems I guess? We just adopted two schnauzer puppies last summer and one of them was liver colored - the runt but we soooo wanted her. The other we teased my sister about begging to get as well, it “chose” her haha. But here almost a year later they’ve grown so much. At the beginning we noticed something funny, we thought she was autistic or something, she just kind of looked off. My mom asked a vet who recommended an ophthalmologist who told us she was born with cataracts and microphthalmia. We’ve since noticed she’s actually very smart when we get her attention as a mostly blind puppy. Just wanted to know if maybe there was a pup with similar conditions? Lmao

Siempre va a lucir más un cardumen de tetra neón es en un acuario de paisajismos

Considering they set up the aquascapes on site. Could you not start using non-aquatic plants that will survive that short duration during the competition? Seems like that would give a competitor a huge edge being able to select from non-aquatic plants that nobody is using and look beautiful. Obviously some testing would be needed to see what plants would work but it could be a cheesy way to win.

Wish I could do something like this... just don’t have enough money or time to commit 😢
