Creating a Huge Planted Aquarium with Driftwood | Part 2 - Planting & Tips

Discover the art of planting in a large-scale nature aquarium! In this second installment of our series, we dive into the detailed process of planting a 170+ gallon nature aquarium. Thanks to Tropica for supplying an array of stunning and healthy plants, we're ready to transform this spacious tank into a vibrant aquatic ecosystem.

Join us as Viktor navigates the intricacies of working with various plants, including Eleocharis parvula, Hemianthus ‘Cuba’, and Monte Carlo. We discuss essential topics like CO2 requirements, plant positioning, and common issues like algae and melting. Learn how different plants like Cryptocoryne parva and Anubias enhance various sections of the aquarium.

This episode is not just about planting but also about understanding the ecosystem within a large tank. From foreground planning with smaller plants to creating a stunning background tapestry, we cover every step. Plus, don't miss out on our fish selection process for this unique setup!

Stay tuned for our b-roll images, showcasing the tank with fish gaining color and adapting to their new home. We'd love to hear your thoughts on our fish combination and any other suggestions you have. Remember to like, comment, and subscribe for more aquascaping adventures!
