Your Dry Start Method episode from 2015 may have saved me from disaster. I had too much water & too much humidity. Duh. "DRY start" right. Caught it early, I think we might survive. ;-) Thanks! Be well!

Thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge. Without it I would have given up on my first CO2 planted, aquascaped aquarium... seriously!

I just discovered the Scape Fu Podcast about a month ago. Since downloading my first episode, I've been binge listening while traveling. I'm absolutely obsessed with the freshwater planted tank and have been on the lookout for something like this. When researching topics and techniques I often have to pour through forums to get contradictory and anecdotal advice. This podcasts addresses almost every issue I have ever wondered about. If you were to just choose one to listen to I highly reccomend the Cara Wade interview. It contains everything you need to know about aquarium lighting. Thank you Art!

I have recently taken up the planted aquarium hobby. Art and his team were A light in the dark for a new person such as myself to better navigate the plethora of information that is out there. The topics are germane, well presented and an excellent resource for newbies and experienced aquarists alike. The casual conversation between the hosts is easy to listen to on a drive or when i was doing aquarium maintenance. Unfortunately, I am writing this when ScapeFu is no longer creating new content, however I will recommend this to anyone that is interested in learning more about the planted aquarium hobby. Keep the plastic out if the aquarium everyone!

Great source of information and enjoyable to listen to. A must for anyone getting into the hobby!

Great podcast! Much better than searching internet forums and YouTube. These guys know what they are doing and Art has seen it all over the years. They explain it in a frendly way that does belitte the beginning aquascaper. They let you know what works and what doesn't work. You don't have to be an expert to enjoy the podcast, you just have to love planted aquariums. Thanks

The best podcast ever if you’re interested in aquascaping. Tons of really insightful information and well thought out topics. Art is a great teacher.

While listening to these podcasts, I have said several times to myself "I'll have to try that". It's fascinting stuff for anyone who wants to move beyond the "fish-tank" to a more natural and beautiful living piece of art. Time was when that description woul NOT have enticed me to turn in that direction, but as keepers of these plants and animals, we should strive to do our best. Understanding how to do that is important therefore. ScapeFu helps with that and includes a great range of topics and I gurantee you'll learn something.

This podcast is a great source to learn about the techniques and science necessary to have a beautiful planted aquarium and to improve as an aquascaper. The podcast provides a far more efficient means to learn than reading or sifting through the forums, and the host’s take listener questions to feature during their episodes. I listen to the podcast from the phone app while I’m on my way to work - much better use of my time than morning radio.

This is an amazing podcast for anyone interested in the aquascaping hobby. Each episode is extremely informative and packs tons of useful information, and I enjoy listening to the discussions between each of the three hosts given their varied viewpoints and approaches. Interviews and news updates lend variety and structure to the unscripted conversations that make up the bulk of each episode.

The hobby needs more of this!

It’s great to have this all encompassing site to get the best information on achieving the most from this amazing hobby.

Art presents some useful concepts, but I always feel like what they go over in almost an hour could be covered in half that or less. It feels like they don't really spend enough time laying out the episode before they record it. They repeat things, wander around, and just seem generally slow moving and disorganized.

Every monday I refresh my podcast feed hoping to see that red number 1 on the scapefu podcast icon, indicating a new one. Art, JJ and Juris thank you for putting this out into the world.

Art, JJ and Juris have been consistently putting out great podcasts for aquascaping enthusiasts. They have a wealth of knowledge about the hobby and also connect with other super stars for great interviews. Highly recommended.

Great job Art! With decades of experience, the hosts give great advice and bring in guests from around the aquascaping community.

This podcast is a must for anyone who likes aquascaping and planted aquariums. These guys show a genuine desire to disseminate accurate information and are willing to get into details when needed

I have been waiting for this podcast forever! Please keep it up.

Art has done a phenomenal job of providing informative content for the planted tank enthusiast. Two shows per week: an in depth hour long program and a five minute segment offering pro tips. The hour long program typically focuses on various aspects of running a successful high tech planted tank (e.g. dry start methods, supplementing CO2, etc...). Occasionally Art and his two co-hosts, JJ and Juris, will interview industry professionals. Art also runs a blog by the same name. I highly recommend both. Excellent job guys! Keep it up!

One of the very few podcasts dedicated to aquascaping and planted tanks…and probably the best one. Extremely well thought out and great information is shared. Art, JJ and Juris are a great team! thanks for doing this, its something the hobby was i desperate need of.

This podcast fills a niche like no others do. It's very imformative and helpful for anyone interested in planted aquariums, beginners and experts alike.

I’m a long time Reefer that made the switch to planted recently. Art’s podcast has been invaluable in helping me learn the ropes. Thanks!

hello guys. love the pod. great food for thought in each episode. been keeping aquariums for almost fourty years and learn something in each episode. keep the information flowing.

Keep it up love the show thanks guys

Great show very informative! The name is great too, although when my four year decided to spell it out load I just cought the tail end. There was an awkward moment of silence till I figured out what she had been spelling. Keep up the great work I love the topics and all of the new segments.This is truly beneficial for anyone tring to get into the planted aquarium hobby.

Very good show will wait for next one. JJ thank you for letting me know about this pocast.

An awesome insight into the planted aquarium by a long time aquascaper and true expert in the field. "The Basics" episode is a must listen for anyone interested in making the leap into the hobby from a non-planted tank. You have inspired me to give back and begin documenting my newest tank for others to learn from. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and please continue posting.

I am a fourteen year old boy who lives 200 miles away from the nearest LFS, who has a insane addiction to aquatic plants. While living in the middle of nowhere can have its advantages, it can be hard to stay strong in the hobby. This podcast is awesome, and reminds me of everything amazing about the aquarium hobby. Thank you for making this podcast. I hope you make more seeing as the last one was in October 2011. -Da Plant Man (avid plantedtank.net poster)

This podcast is a cornerstone of the ever expanding hobby of aquascape. Art is a herald of things to come and I thank him for shedding light where there once was none.

I loved thiis show... I would listen to them atleast 4 times each sometimes more... but now none for a couple months? Hope everything is ok with Art... I hate being left in the dark like this

Funny name, but great podcast. I highly recommend this podcast to all fish hobbyists who enjoy keeping live plants in their tanks. Art, the host, interviews some of the most knowledgeable people involved in our hobby and helps pass their knowhow on to his audience. The interviews are done in a casual, informative manner and are very enlightening.

Great start on a podcast for a great hobby! Can't wait to see how this develops over time as you refine your focus. Hope along with the great interviews you've done so far you will also consider some topics for those of us who gear our tanks to a more natural unfussy approach. Maybe an interview with Diane Walsted or Tom Barr? Keep up the good work!

Art, the host, is better than your average podcaster. The production quality of the show is perfectly matched with the content. If you are into planted aquariums, or exploring the idea of planted aquariums, this is a great show!

I'm new to the hobby of aquascaping, and it feels like an opportune time to be taking it up. Theres a lot of good stuff happening right now advancing the hobby. ScapeFu is certainly one of those advancements. The podcast does a great job of educating about the past, examining the present and envisioning the future of the hobby. Art is always clarifying abbreviations and references so newcomers aren't swimming in jargon - much appreciated. Looking forward to future episodes.

What Art does with this podcast, while not part of ADG Vibe - is totally Vibe. He gets it.

Extremely entertaining and informative. This show's host has been bringing freshwater aquarist together to discuss the planted aquarium hobby for years. Scape Fu takes this commitment to the next level. Thank you for the great podcast.

Finally, a podcast for aquascapers! Scape Fu introduces listeners to the incredible hobby of aquatic gardening--where a little advance planning can transform a simple aquarium into a gateway to unique natural environments. This is a great podcast for anyone interested in aquarium keeping and taking the underwater planted habitat to the next level. Art does a skillful job of both introducing newbies to aquascaping basics as well as highlighting cutting edge efforts by leaders in the hobby. His interviews are superb. Whether you are just interested in just getting a few plants to survive in your fishtank or want to take your existing aquascape up to competition level, this is for you!
