Hi All,
Today I thought it would be a bit of fun to pick up an old tank from Facebook Marketplace that was needing a bit of elbow grease and TLC, show you how you can bring an old tank back to life and make a nice aquascape from it to enjoy.
Hope you like it.

Love the content, keep up the great work and great job on the tank it looks great!🔥🔥
What an incredible transformation.
I love this kind of videos!!!!.
great video
Pretty satisfying reviving a run down tank. Makes me want to clean up my old vintage metal frame tank.
Great looking tank rejuvenation and scaping! Yes, your little pea puffer suits it well! This would make a great monthly or biweekly feature.
More of these would great🔥 There could also be a crossover episode with the humans of gumtree series and show the full process😂
fluval flex!!!! Costs $150 second hand!!! lovr fluval flex!!!
WOW!!!! $50!!!!! BARGIN!!!!!!!
flex
if is dirty, probably wasnt ever cleaned, and prob never used razor to scratch it,
1M ago got a 150L tank, rounded corners, beautiful, for 20 euro, i was so so so hiped up while riding home, to find out it was full all over of scratches.
probably cuz of that tube beeing bent the filter wasnt going, and who had the aquarium had been losing fish all the time cuz of high poison in water
such a small detail can kill
I saw that tank on Market Place.. Great score
Hello… Im based in Brisbane. Can I ask where u bought that pea puffer?
My best second hand tank is a 180gallon that came with a 60 gallon sump tank – $50 total. The 180 had a small pin hole leak which meant I had to remove all the silicone and redo it which was quite the task cause the tank is 30 inch tall.
That rock in the centre throws the scape off for me because the lines in the rock dont flow in same direction as the others.
Even at $50 it's a bargain, I have the 57lt in my fish 🎏 room, big fan of Fluval and the Flexes.
Blake can you list the plants you placed in your tank I would like to setup something similar to this but I'm also a beginner at aquascape.
All my tanks are from marketplace. You can also make a decent profit buying cheap tanks cleaning them and selling them for higher. Just gotta find the right deal. Made the money I spend on the hobby back easily this way.

Like the old saying; one person's trash is another person's real nice tank scaped by Blake. 😉
Nice refresh job Blake, good little score.
I recomend a melamine scrub pad instead of a sponge. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is a good name brand version.
That little tank came up nice man! well done
Hello I have a random question but I just try to make a micro crab tank I have no filter plants and a thick layer of substrate I bought them but I just got the crabs and one came dead and I dropped my tank water into theirs to get them acclimated but to seem to be dead and one is very in active and then one is super active in exploring the tank I tested my water with a strip test and everything seemed fine could it possibly be something I’ve done wrong or maybe the bash that I got I do hope that you take the time to help me if not I completely understand I take inspiration from your videos
I love this video!!!
Another great video Blake
enjoyed this one. thanks mate!
Rinse it really well then scrub the calcium with a cut lemon and leave for 10 mins then rinse it really well. No chance of of damage to the glass
Great work Blake! Done like a pro
daaaaaaaamn. Blake scapes again! haha cant remember the last time you scaped. i think it was the other fluval flex ! Was refreshing to watch ya scape again mate. nice one.
Without bargain marketplace finds I don't think I could expand my hobby like I have 🙂 I really enjoyed this video
My absolute favorite subject is from scrap to scape ❤️ getting fish tanks from places like marketplace have been with able to make me even enjoy this hobby!!
I scored my two Fluval specs on marketplace for $50 for the both of them!! I have been the queen of splitting up plants and my hardscape to create more tanks for my little fish room!! Thanks for sharing Blake I hope you're having an amazing weekend 🙏🌿🐟🌿❤️🥰
Appreciate these videos ❤️
Nice mate sick video
Where did you get a pea puffer in Aus?
