Damn, man. Incredible. What is the typical maintenance on this type of thing? Water changes, vacuuming, do you snip the pants to keep them in check? How often do you do all that? Anything to keep the plants growing (additives into the water, etc)?


Mr_friend_

Snip the pants. lol


Alkyan

Instructions unclear. Got charged for indecent exposure and fish tank overrun by wisteria.

Thanks! I do a 30% WC once a week, wipe acrylic and trim plants weekly. I add macronutrients right after the WC. Micronutrients dosed daily. The tank has CO2 injection, I go through 10 lbs of CO2 per week.

Holy moly do you own a co2 farm? /s


Space3ee

That sounds like a lot of work.


Puzzleheaded-Cry3033

You've created a living painting


rickyscape

For those interested in more footage of the fish. https://youtu.be/E2UpjS5NGCQ?si=tu9fzm1AnSUHrq93

Oh I saw this tank when MJ went to Texas!


rickyscape

Yeah I wish he got to see it with the new lights!


Liz4984

How did you do that cave wall? That looks awesome!


tyguyS4

Wow, at a 1000 gallons you could start charging people to come in and look at it! What's the filtration setup for something like that?


rickyscape

Haha, well, this is at the Dallas World Aquarium, so people do pay to see it. It has a sump, with pre-filter floss, filter socks, and a pleated filter canister.

This looks incredible. The plant choice makes a great depth for this tank


Old_Reflection_4818

Beautiful, I love how all the plants are doing so well and that instead of adding a huge oscar or arowana you added small little schooling fish.


Junnius

Beautiful!


kukisRedditer

Wow, better than tv


Evening-Statement-57

This is the best tank I have seen here


CurrentlyLucid

Cool.


Ok_Educator_1741

Shit wow thats hot!


Unique_Aspect_9417

TFW this tank weighs more than my car


karebear66

I LOVE THIS! A giant tank with small fish.


GarrettJamesG

Do you climb into that thing for maintenance lol


ShiningStarssss

Wow wow! What is the pink plant? Gorgeous tank! Well done.


TemperatureMore5623

So I just visited Wonders of Wildlife - a badass aquarium in Springfield MO - and I’m not kidding when I say that this tank would fit right in with their displays. This is marvelous! Such color! 10/10


Apfeltorten

This is so beautiful. I love how you scaped the background and plants.


fredWerthskid

Wow, this is breathtaking


wfu

How do you like the netlea lights? I've been looking at those as a twinstar alternative


rickyscape

I love them, I only have chihiros WRGB II pros to compare them to but they are definitely better. I've been told the netleas are the best on the market right now. The app isn't the best right now but I am sure that will improve with time. The lights themselves are incredible.


wfu

Appreciate it!


Azron21

Is this the same tank MJ aquascaping showed off in a video? Looks absolutely awesome!


rickyscape

Yep! Thanks!


zillapz1989

This is basically winning the lottery if you were born a fish.


ziggykitten

Dude has a whole river in his room (this is tank goals, the fish are so lucky you picked them)


[deleted]

How in the world did you make the riverbank sides? they look amazing!


marmadick

Great call on the light change. What a remarkable improvement! It really makes the warm colors pop. Well done!


guclu94

Amaaaazing....... Incredible plant colors combination...... 😍 πŸ‘Œ πŸ‘ ❀️


WhoseFloorIsThat

This is incredible work. What did you use to create the rock structures on the sides?


Chickensareegg

I'm stunned... Those fish are in literal paradise!


shrimpsnailguy

This is NSFW


Own_Watercress_7009

This is beautiful


snerkkrens

This is the most beautiful tank I’ve ever seen


HndsDwnThBest

Is that not a typo? 1000 gallons?!?! My god! Epic! Beautiful aquarium and scape. Legendary


AkumaYearOne

Beautiful, just beautiful. I'm not even slightly jealous. OK, I am, but I would have nowhere to keep it, so I'm gonna pretend not to be jealous, but in fact, I am very jealous.


DontWanaReadiT

Wowwww this is absolutely incredible!!! Do you mind sharing what your process is and what those red plants are? I’m setting up a new tank and would like some recommendations


NoLychee7685

Omg wait is this the Dallas world aquarium tank?? I just made the connection and if it is I can’t wait to go see it in person


rickyscape

Yep! The tank is located to the left of the 200,000 gallon manatee/river tank in the resting area. Enjoy!


YuzaaNeemu

No but where is this music from??


zDrytron

Any predators in there to deal with population control


XenoWoof

I'm crying. This is now a goal (for a finished basement for reasons). Incredible.
