Hey George, always love your video, great work as always, thumbs up~ However, about your comment about Chinese Product, I thinks it is a little unfair. Because price is always related to quality. You cant really compare something cost 5$ to another cost 50$...For the Chinese manufacturer nowadays, if you are willing to pay, you can definitely find somthing with same quality as the products of German but still cost less...Just saying:)

Germany has had a long history of building high quality products in many different industries...can't say the same about China historically, I do appreciate some products from China that really give its counter part in EU or NA a run for its money

Actually, Germany product used to have a bad reputation of the copy cat of british product, "the "made in" label originated in 1887 when Britain passed a law in order to stigmatize foreign companies(especially German) that had been manufacturing low-priced copy cat british products." you can google it. Dont mention American product and Japanese product, they both has a period of copy cat history, its just a historical phase, you need time to accumulate skills and capital. I m not denying that some products in China has a relative bad quantity, you got what you pay for. We do not has a reputation for good quantity YET. But, check Huawei Mate X or all that bridges, time marches on:)

Great tutorial and final scape George! Looking forward to seeing it filled with fish!👍😀

Amazing work! Your stone placing is a true art! Great work George!

Really enjoyed the editing in this one.... Looking forward to seeing the fish!!

I like the look of the scape, but love the fact that it is so different to what you usually do. Great job!

Simple but detailed aquascape & not to mention cost efficient + budget friendly..nice one george..keep inspired people 👍

Really enjoying the diversity in your scapes, it’s really refreshing to see rimless nature aquariums, hooded aquariums and now this Mbuna scape. Great TV! Thanks 👍

cichlids.. beautiful.. love the colours and energy on them.

Soooo so fun to see you do something new, allthough I love what you normaly do ofc! 😊 I have plans on getting a Juwel Lido 200 wich has a simular size so it's really nice to see you hardscape a tank like this 👌👍 Really looking forward to see the next episodes of this 😁

Loved it George..keep inspiring.

Enter the notifications squad (though obviously I'm a bit late)! The lack of plants is quite petrifying since I'm so used to to seeing them in your scapes! I mean it takes some stones to rely on rocks only but the design is very solid. Rock on buddy!

My first George Farmer video. Perfect time to discover it. I'm collecting limestone for my 75 gallon mbuna tank. Very inspiring. Cheers.

Thanks for the details on the tank, I’ve been looking everywhere for details on the filter in/out connections . I hope to get the highline 300 soon to replace my current setup. Nice scape 👌🏻

Hi. Love the tank. Thank you for sharing!

Oh, very nice, can't wait to start a cichlid aquarium for myself!

Love it!

The hardscape is made of many rocks placed together to look like one large simplistic piece. Can't wait to see what you stock it with.

Im gonna use this as example for my 200 liter corner tank! I love it

Looks really nice 🖒

first rock only scape from you. i want to make a rock only for so long time for my snaile's , they have bare bottom right now. yup Germany and high quality goes hand in hand :D thanks for showing us

Great scape! I really like the rock choice and it's so well aged! I don't know enough about fish to guess, but a cichlid of sort I would guess. Also, thanks for the honest review. I don't mind lids (as I have young kids) and I really like the cabinet.

Awesome setup

Great vid as always george, last tank i had only rocks as never managed to make plants thrive but will get back into it at some point, your videos are great inspiration Thanks dean

Please do a full review of the tank. There is little information about it out there. Already I saw the intake for the first time in detail. That's pretty big and does need to be taken into account when planning the scape. I would also like to know your opinion about the built in lights. Would they do for growing plants etc.

Nice setup George.. Can't wait to see the malaui cichlids?😀👍👍👍

Amazing video, beautiful equipment and lovely design. I think your going to get mini pea puffers!

Really enjoyed this - would be a lovely setup for Lake Tanganjika cichlids - perhaps Lamprologus brichardi? Or some Julidochromis? Wonder if you can resist trying out which plants could work :-).

Living in Seattle, most of our rivers are like this, and i love this tank, mate! I have. Een doing smoothed stone river rock iwagumi.

Malawi chichlids i recon , and loved the video it has given me great ideas for my new 5 foot Mumba tank thanks

Love the rock scape

African cichlids.....love it George👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🐟 scape looks great!

I'm thinking of buying an Oase filter, as i really like the inclusion of the heater in the filter. I tried using an inline heater, but i had issues once with it dripping water, luckily i noticed it before it became a problem, but it put me off using them.

Lovely. Your scapes blow my mind. I have no idea what kind of fish. But I would do yellow labs. A freshwater style of an entire yellow tang tank. And it would look good with your decor. :)

I think it's good that someone like yourself who has an amount of 'sway' within fishkerping community doing a rift lake cichlid style aquarium as it's an area of fishkerping that is a lot less popular than it used to be. This is a good way of showing people they can make s beautiful set up for these fish which may in turn encourage people to keep these wonderful fish.

I love hooded tanks , I can't stand staring in the light of the rimless watching my aquarium. I buy high tanks and incorporate the filter overhead in the front , 3 chambers (2 for filtering , 1 for heater and thermometer) , the length of the tank , foam only , I design the LED lighting behind it. It is the easiest maintenance , grab a bucket and pull out 1 of the chambers , the second maintains the bacterial filtration , switch it up the next cleaning. Cheap and highly effective , the perfect set-up for the beginner or advanced aquarist. I have 3 out of my 9 aquaria running this way and they beat all other 6 "of the shelf" rip-offs by a long shot. All that is in my tank is a powerhead with pre-filter (cleaned once every 2 weeks , this varies , watch the output of the pump to the overhead filtration). Simple , highly effective and cheap , it's unbeatable.

Amazing rock work. Can't wait to see it filled with water and find out what type of fish. Some type of cichlids?

I really like this style. I’d love to see a rock aquascape with smooth river rock.

The fish will love it cyclids especialy african ones are crazy about caves rocks and small pebbels great scape George love the way you used those different colored rocks at parts it seemed its already covered in algae 😁

Great Rockscape George! I hope you'll get mbunas. Yellow labs would be perfect!

Lyretail cichlid. Maybe ? love d scape u inspired me to get into plants and more detail scaping thx

For me it would have to be , peacock's . Thanks for the video looking forward to the next one 👍

Hi George, that’s a wonderful scape for Malawi Cichlids. I think a colony of Fire Fish look great in there

Omg you are so handsome!!.. and the rockscape looks amazing too..

Mmmm very interesting. Glad it a different style of tank, looking forward to seeing how it turns out and what fish you are going to stock. George I’m moving house soon and I have 5 aquariums any tips on moving them, all aquascaped. Three 60 l one 30l and a 135l. Any tips appreciated my gut instinct is that I will have to dismantle them all.

Mbuna Africa Cichlids. Very inspiring. Rescaped my cichlid tank tonight!

Hi George, Can you please elaborate on the filter intake? I'm really curious as to how it works. Looking forward to some Malawi chichlids! Labidochromis caeruleus / mbamba perhaps?

Very nice

Hi George. I've been inspired by this scape and I'm planning a similar one. I was just wondering roughly what total weight of rock you used and how many pieces and their approximate size? I'm looking to get the rocks delivered and need an estimate for what I'll need. Thanks, keep on scaping!!!

Great video it looks great mate, im about to create a new tank with rock, is it better to not Glue the rocks then and instead freerock it. also i plan to just use fine sand, should i get some sort of foam cover for the rocks at the bottom i saw u didnt do this. Any advice would really help! thankyou :)

Thats awsome hardscaping , approximately how lbs or kilos of rock must have gone in there ?

Nice one George, I often think the fish are overlooked when it comes to aquascaping. I would guess you’re housing some kind of cichlid?

Great tank, love the rock work and attention to detail. I'll guess at Neolamprologus brichardi?

Love the scape some moss or epiphit plats would look great but probly not if ur adding imbunas or grazing cichlids keen to see it full not ur norm George but looks great nice work I’m currently doing a dry start on my new iwagumi 40cm cube tank mc carpet not sure wat else any thoughts would be appreciated cheers mate

Awesome rock scape! I always liked the look of Seriyu stone. My guess for your fish would be a Tropheus species

not what we are used to seeing from you george but still a gorgeous scape . my guess for the stocking is Nimbochromis

Malaway chilids by any chance. Love the composition.

Hi George, did you glue the rocks to stabelize them. Is there no risque to dammage the bottom. Thanks for the video.

Very good video 👍🔔😃 my friend. Greetings from Poland

Hi George Thank looks awesome for a Neolamprologus brichardi colony Regards Konsa

Looking forward to the fish I’m gonna guess chiclid of some kind ?

Great scape George as always. Pretty sure you gonna stock that tank with some dwarf cichlids.

I have a question,can I put an external filter that is made for up to 100-200 liters to a smaller aquarium and have shorten its flow somehow because I want to put a betta in this aquarium?Good video btw

Very nice project. No idea about species You will choose, but I'm sure it will be Chiclets. Good luck!!!

Nice departure George, I love that you’re diversifying and showing us how aquascaping principles apply to non-planted tanks. It’s still nature aquarium, just a different angle on a different habitat. I reckon Demasoni Cichlids would look awesome. They’re not too big so should suit the scale well and have great pattern and colour to contrast with the rock-work. Incidentally, how do you clean the inside of that vertical inlet? I saw glass ones on a few Green Aqua vids and wondered how on earth the get them out for cleaning without draining the tank!

Hi George great video! Im obviously thinking cichlids, the scape looks perfect for them. I have three guesses, yellow labs, fairy cichlids or zebras?🤔

Great video, I wonder what type of cichlids are you gonna put in there? Malawi Lemon Jake Peacock 🦚?

Nice!

Super baniak ogółem.

Love the look of a plant less aquarium 🐠, I think electric yellow lab cichlids would look great in it?

Got to be yellow lab mbuna for me, lovely scape . 👍

Nice vid! First the Echinodorus and now a Mbuna tank, nice to see the expansion of your skill set! May a few things I would have done differently. Mbunas are digging a lot, therefore fine sand is much better suited. You should avoid any substrate between the bottom plate and the stones, the fish will remove it and this can become a deathtrap or the whole pile can collapse and smash the tank. To protect the tank a bit from the massiv stones i always used an styrofoam layer inside the tank. Nevertheless beautiful! Btw Synodontis petricola would fit nicely (Tangajika but with similar needs).

Hi! Can I put rock directly on the glass? Thank you!

How would you suggest cycling this set up before livestock if you dont have pre matured media? Would you just use stability or something along those lines? Thanks

I want that tank! I like the way Oase has it drilled and all the plumbing hidden. You could always put some moss on those rocks. It is disconcerting to see you aquascape without plants. LOL. The rock scape does look great though!

Dear George. How do you fix the rocks?

Never think I saw a triangular rock scape. Not the biggest fan of the tank itself, but non the less it'll be quite intresting to see how this turns out. My guess for the fish are Demanson's cichlids. (Also, shoutout to your daughter Snapchating at 4:33 😂)

Single species Rift Valley Aquarium ? I think that the tank is too small for either Tropheus or Mbuna so my guess is that it will be one of the Neolamprologus brichardi complex from Lake Tanganyika .

Going for dwarf mbuna George? Saulosi or Demasoni? Great rockscape👍

I bought an oase tank on wed took it back the next day after it leaked . Top quality 🤔

Was this a video on aquascaping or a pitch for the tank?

Did you use some sort of glue to keep the rocks together? it looks like in the time lapse that you used a hot glue gun. is hot glue aquarium safe?

I guess Mbuna are the fish that will be going in, clues were hard water with higher ph and you said the algae already on the rocks will make great grazing. Also size of tank would make more sense for mbuna.

Super cool! Question though how are you going to deal with algae considering there are no plants? Are you going to use a twinstar?

Hi! What is meant by a dry weir? From the video I'm thinking the suction to the filter is the standpipe and the return is the spray bar? What's the point of the overflow box then?
