what's up fish tank people Dustin's fish tanks bringing it to you
with the third and final video in front of the in wall tank that I hardly ever
take care of it needs a new hard scape in today's video it's all about the
creative flow we're gonna be adding for the first time ever I'm going to be
using serious stone in this aquarium I'm super stoked about it had to go find
some big pieces we've also got some red plants that we're gonna add so the
canvas in the past two videos we've basically just been clearing the canvas
and kind of getting an idea of what we got going on in today's video we're
about to get busy with this sucker here we go okay so this is an exciting time
for me I have never used serious stone before so I am super jacked about it I
learned this 110 percent from Oliver cannot and who said too many people use
little rocks and big tank big tank needs big rocks so I had to like dig through
my piles of Syria stone I actually didn't have that much of that stuff
laughs I'm gonna sell a ton of it but I did find some pieces that I think are
pretty choice and I'm gonna work these in here I want to show you this while
I'm in front of the tank because I have to look at this from the front of the
tank going okay in front of the tank I want some height up here this rock will
give me some vertical height as well as some stuff around the back here so I can
work these in I've also got some red plants that I'm gonna mix in and I'm
gonna show you guys a trick to do with rocks that don't fit the scheme as well
so we're gonna get these rolling in here so I'm gonna take this big boy and I
kind of envisioned it with its face I want this to be it's a two sided tank so
it's a little you gotta think both ways with it I'm gonna try to work this up
into here I'm gonna get this ad out of here so get
that out I'm gonna replant some of that sad down in the cracks of this but I'm
just trying to rock this in here and that piece is actually a little - a
little too upright for me so I'm gonna try to kind of give it some angle that
way
and then I've got this really sweet piece right here this is gonna go
frontside but I mean this stuff's almost cheating it's so easy to scape with as
far as just cool texture rip this here
then of course I have to walk around I
don't like the way that looks on the back there but we'll see how it looks on
the front first and we can soften that with some some more smaller rocks but I
just want to get the basics in here to start and just see what it needs that
piece is too dark too in the front so I'm gonna try to move that I do like the
look of that peak there so we're gonna use that and we're gonna pass lied that
over so that'll pull your eye in but that piece is coming out right there
I don't like the look of this rock but it's on the backside so is what it is
and I want to work this one in I don't know which way to go with it I might
play it in the front hair to start just see where it's going
took that there
and then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take a bunch of small rocks these little
guys this is the way we sell it I actually like this rock and this is an
important thing I like the look of this rock in comparison to this rock because
this rock looks similar to that rock unlike this rock which is a little bit
different a little bit darker so I like the lighter tones that's giving me
someone to try to work that in there more and ideally I'd be doing this empty
but we actually don't have time for that
so I like this I like the serious tone I don't like the way that it kind of is
just a mound right there but what I want to do is I want to see how it looks
worked in through the front here so I'm actually gonna add like about one two
three four I don't know call it six or seven smaller pieces working it into the
front to kind of give it some depth within all that balanced side I'm gonna
let that run for a minute but I also need to clear this peak out here because
this is not defined enough I like how that comes out and has that definition
there's no definition down here so we need to kind of like work that stuff
from backwards
yeah there's the tank Treasury
and you'll notice I do use day in here in this tank I used 75 pounds of black
gravel over the dirt so you're seeing that dirt coming up which is totally
fine but the fx4 can handle it but it's still like you know gives you those
clouds or whatever but it is what it is
show that off a little better bring that crypt around
now it's time to add some smaller rocks to the front and these are just going to
be well in
I love the character of these and we saw them wrapped of course but I'm a rapper
obviously you want to get pieces with like jagged edges and lots of character
that's what makes this stuff so great
that's got all that
and I definitely like the stone the stones definitely pop in the front there
but now it's just a matter of getting him exactly where I want the problem is
of course is that I can't see where there they are
and I can't get to him from the front so be it see that gives you more depth by
just adding the little deeper ones in here they're not where I want them to be
but they're just kind of thrown in but they do give you a little bit more they
pull you into the aquarium more this one I'm gonna move just slightly that one
actually landed all right I'm gonna kind of thin out in here and then I'm gonna
add some red plants we're going to accentuate this crypt right here by
pulling out all the sad you round
I'll show you some of the things before I add the color I want to take that out
and that out I'm being quiet because they're trying to work around here we're
gonna take that piece out and that piece out let me get out my tweezers I'm gonna
put out some red right now it's still pulling everything away I want to keep
this dark Canyon in here with the Crypt and let the other stuff kind of pull
through it so those have to come out
so this is Liguilla I'm gonna put this in the back there
and kind of pop it out that corner to accent off that little rock right there
so this is going to go straight down parallel in there I'm gonna take it out
of the binding now yeah and that crip works in there I like that now and I'd
really like to do some big stones and through there but I don't have enough
with me that would really make it pop you'll notice this use of that rock on
the side worked that long when I was struggling with I put on its side and
it's working out alright so now these are gonna go there and possibly over
there and these plants will stand up once they are under the light for a
little bit I'm gonna go see how that looks from the front
the greediest far so good best and what I want to do is I'm actually gonna
double up the amount of leg wikia in that little crack there because I feel
like I can bring it down this Canyon I like the jungle mess kind of going on
over there so I'm gonna leave that but I'm gonna kind of build up this this
contrast in the middle here with the Liguilla so more that's gonna go in that
crack and I really wish I could get to the front of it from there but yeah well
and I like to do these three at a time three or four you're gonna see me grab
these now separate them about half an inch apart
kind of work I need something in through here I don't know what we're gonna do
here some java fern it's not doing this hot and then this is a Merial file them
that's just hack it and let it come back and I'm thinking about adding some red
miryo over in this corner here some really red Marielle which is this stuff
right here I just grabbed some spots that we had in the greenhouse this is
like scraps that weren't sellable so see because the other mirror was doing good
no
I don't like
I kind of want to break up some of the side I always go left to right I like
the way that's coming together you can see how it looked before in the clip
here but now I'm thinking like okay how can I like break up some of what's going
on on the the right side I've got some bacopa yellow flame that might go good
right in the center there but I'm gonna have to excavate all that which I'm
really not wanting to do but can do and then that will kind of break up the eye
a little bit because of all that jungle so we're gonna put some poco PL flame
right in the center there this stuff now it's going from the higher light
conditions in the greenhouse to a little bit lower light but still work pretty
well and people have said that they have sometimes have difficulties with the
Copa the Copa Lakes higher calcium content in the water which is not a
problem I ever have here but some people have issues with it kind of melting back
higher calcium content potassium just based on its stick structure you can see
it's gonna be a generally speaking the thicker stouter plants are gonna require
a little more calcium content so I should go cope with it
and this would be a lot easier without the water in it I didn't feel like
tearing it all up
I'm gonna let it sit for a little bit see how it looks like that some more
over here but I kind of like the jungle on the right side a rock party on the
left time for a break let it sit a little bit come back see what it needs
I'll work off some stuff there
