    The first time trimming my Monte Carlo I was so shaky that I pulled out three plants. Resting my arm on the glass helped a lot, stupid in hindsight :D
  • @ikanpari24
    the knowledge you have shared to us is unmeasurable. i hope you keep aquascaping as long as you live.
  • This has got to be your most informative video yet! I think you've found where you shine when it comes to the aquarium hobby: plant keeping and propagation! I definitely learned a lot here. Too often I find myself arbitrarily going through and just cutting things that look bad without knowing how exactly it will affect the plants production.

    Finally, the lesson that I need. Was trimming my 2 months aquascape and yeah, moss part is something else:face-blue-smiling: Thanks for the tips and cant wait to see more tips😊
  • Well, this video came out at the perfect time! I have a three month old planted tank, and I know I need to trim everything, but I was worried about how to do it. I'm especially glad you talked about stem plants because mine are already breaking the surface, but there are lots of gaps and I would love for everything to fill in and look lush. I didn't know I could trim them so short, and I didn't know they would grow back with two branches. Thank you for explaining this. I have gone back over some of your older videos for help with other issues, and you have been a great help.

    Great video! Very good script, compact with a lot of information and still not feeling rushed/high tempo. Perfect!
  • @seanu4963
    I wish this video was out last year. It would have saved a lot of stress and research time when trimming my plants. Great information!
  • @aharonm2073
    I've been watching your videos now for a few months, and I have to say, you make some of the best videos out there. I like the music, the content and the way you give it over. Thank you for all your hard work in making these videos, they are much appreciated!
