BLACKWATER AQUARIUM | Step by step LOW TECH shallow tank setup | EP1

Описание: In this video I will show you step by step how I setup my new Blackwater Aquarium. This is low tech shallow tank (NO CO2) measuring only 27cm (10 inches) in height. Hardscape is built from corbo root wood, black seiryu stone and grey sand. I added various botanicals on the bottom that will release tannins and will give the aquarium "blackwater" look.
