Loving the low tech aquascaping content.

[Cocainab]

Thank you MJ! I hope the next Episodes come fast!

[davidjones]

This is going ti be an awesome series.Thank you.

[paulchang]

I can't wait to move to a larger home so I can get back into this. This will get me back onto aquascaping after a 20 year hiatus

[grahamnorris]

I'm really enjoying the series so far. I am very interested in the next episode. I never tried a dark start before.

[OVHabitats]

I am actually excited to watch this series. So many of the details are left out of most videos because of less excitement and time constraints. This should be awesome for beginners but I am sure even old dogs like me will learn new tricks.

[davidrafaelbotana]

VERY excited for this series ! thank you. . . im moving to seoul in a few months and i will be putting together my first tank. ive been studying your videos, and this series is coming at the MOST perfect time for me :)

[ikanpari]

good series! i'm going to recommend this video to my friends, hopefully they would take interest in fishkeeping/aquascaping.

[JasperVanMarcke]

idea: Maybe use/buy R.O. water in the more expensive tank, and 'regular tapwater' in the budget tank, see if that'll make a difference. great video MJ!

[jeffdriver]

Series is going to be awesome. Your local fish store is amazing. If i had something like that near me, I would be there all the time.

[uavdronetechsolutions]

This video playlist is a really good idea. I really like the way you have taken your time to hand pick particular items. Very comprehensive guide. Looking forward to the rest of the series and starting my aquascaping adventure with your help. Massive thanks!

[namesbinge]

I think it's great to make 1 beginner's guide each year. As there's endless knowledge out there, it's good to reflect on yourself and create a new beginner's guide with new knowledges for newcomers.

[MandyJane]

I love your beginners guides. They helped me a lot with my first planted tank.

[shelbycombs]

No one better to give a guide on aquascaping. Thank you.

[petesie]

Great advice on selecting the right equipment for both new & old aquatic enthusiasts, looking forward to the next one!

[henrikmadsen]

Great to juxtapose high- vs. low tech 👌 … I would love to see you make a “minimum maintenance frequency” aquarium - and debating what is pushing “maintenance frequency” up ⬆️ and down ⬇️

[matthewturnbull]

Just finished my first tank using all the tips & inspiration from your channel, 90L low tech, natural look with the tannings from botanicals. Getting my fish in a couple of weeks.

[jtkeepingfish]

Great beginners guide! This will be awesome when it's finished and something I could refer my customers to to watch if they are beginners! Since I have not made a detailed guide as this yet myself lol

The best and most handsome aquascaper 😊
