Thirty Of the Best Nano Aquascapes In America — Aquatic Experience 2017

These are the entries in the 2017 Aquatic Experience Nano Aquascaping Competition.

This tank is no longer in production. Below are two aquariums with a similar style and size. I have never used these aquariums, but because people are so interested in this tank, this is the best I can do to send folks in the right direction. Please do your own research:

If one of these tanks is yours, I'd love to hear from you! Unfortunately two of the tanks didn't make it into this video—they were still setting up when I was filming and I ended up forgetting to loop back around. Sorry two to two aquascapers that were left out!

I loved Hunter Koerner’s aquascape at 6:38. The composition and colors are beautiful.

I can't help but to think the one with pillars of glass is really out of the box

[homerperez]

The one with the glass pillars, its the abstract of the aquascaping art. Its both revolutionary and new

[JustNatax]

Watching aquascapes make me so happy and content. Beautiful nanos.
(Lori Duponts was stunning.)

@4:57 Hiep Hong's really stands out to me!

I’ve visited this particular video about 2 or 3 dozen times in the last 5 months. I cannot pick a favorite because each one fills a different need depending on what kind of mood I’m in on that day. Let me thank you for the background music. I have purchased several of Chris Zabriskie’s pieces after hearing him here. Finally, let me give you a shoutout for the incredible camerawork. It’s just stunning!

10:05 Mysterious island in the middle of the ocean, love it.

Does anyone know on 5:27 Varun Kamat, which type of creatures are those? I'm fascinated

[Aiden-V.]

Impossible to narrow it down to one, but yours, Igor, Lori, Hiep, Amanda, Marvin, Hunter, Erachio, Nathan, Rich, and Sam really stand out to me! Of course, they're all amazing and far beyond my skill set at the moment. So glad I found your channel, thanks to JH Aquatics.

[Traubenjaeger]

this Aquascape by Varun Kamat was surprising and magical. i really loved it because it was such a unique idea, simple but elegant!

[azhairving]

I can't stop watching this video.
awesome videography. The M's did it for me McBride, McCombs, Moreau and there was something stunning about Nguyen 's scape. Beautiful!

[happyheartslee]

The glass pillars is exciting! But maybe if we experiment with the idea OMG

I can't decide on a fav tank they were all so epic

[charlenejandik]

Hunter K's tank is my fav! It would be as beautiful as a full scale Japanese garden.

[publiusvelocitor]

I really like the sense of depth created by Danny Adams in the first tank... the corridor from front to back of the tank, amidst upright boughs of driftwood creating a strong vertical sense. Also Nam Nguyen's scape leaves a lot of bottom space, if you want to show off Corydoras, loach, or other bottom dwellers.

Good job Alex. I like the simple but profound approach to the tank designs

[HunterKoerner]

Really nice work! I could watch this all day.

[CaylorsReptilesAquatics]

I heard about this video, and your channel, from Corvus Oscen during his live stream today. I agree with him, this is the best video from AE. Everything about it is excellent. I subscribed and am watching your other videos now. Thank you!

[luisfigueroa]

Your videos are amazing! The music, your footage and the way you edit everything is so perfect.

[vickischneider]

Truly like yours the best! The overhang gives a real sense depth.
