The ScapeFu Podcast

Art Pennom makes aquascaping so intresting. He explains the visual concept and guides you to bring out the best in your fishkeeping. He looks at it from different angles. I just love this podcast!

I am so thankful to have found this podcast. It really helped me answer some questions that I had about lighting. I was struggling to find information that did more than scratch the surface of the topic. I also was helped by the episode on the dry start method. I love that the podcasts take a scientific approach to subjects in a clear and understandable format. There is so much (sometimes too much) opinion based information out there about the hobby, that it is difficult for me to discern what m... more

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 ... more

Art and his friends are able to condense and fine tune the explanations of aquascaping practises and design, assisting with critique and refinement of listeners aquascaping.

It's great to have expert level insights and encouragement in scaping aquaria.

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... more

Extremely informative info delivered in a way thats easy to understand and non bias. This has helped me start two planted tanks with zero experience before hand. Art has a genuine passion for the hobby and it really comes out in these podcasts.

I love listening to these podcasts even though I don't have a planted tank... Yet. I'm currently keeping a nano reef but I am very interested in starting a planted tank. Thanks for all the hard work guys!

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

Really nice podcast that has nicely matured in format over time. Very good information that is very accessible to every sort of planted tank enthusiast. Have particularly enjoyed their branching into different offshoot approaches, and their attempts to keep enough information in there to be useful without being overwhelming.

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... more

I'm loving this podcast.

Having had a few planted tanks in the past, and now looking at setting one up again in the near future, This show has already given me a lot of tips and information about topics that I wasn't very well informed on.

A must listen for aquascapers of any skill level.
