hello! im ritz, im actually new to this aquascaping stuff, and i watch green aqua video every single day before i went to sleep. i just want to give shout out to the editor who edits all of green aqua video for an amazing job of picking songs and music, very good job! actually my background is photography and i work in videography. keep up the good work!
The beauty in aquascaping come in many shapes and styles, and they all contribute to the world of inspiration of some form and purpose. That’s Why we can’t stop watching. 😅 I love this, can’t wait to see more of you guys. I follow you like a shadow. What was Tommy doing? Some kind of funny business? 😂
"Welcome to the beautiful European world of aquascaping." I laughed! We Americans love to be different. I think you did a very good job with the scape. The reddish rock contrasts well with the bright green of the plants (and fish). For me, this style of Iwagumi is not for me. My favorite Iwagumi are the ones with very large rocks with competing structure with a lot of tension. Everyone has their personal taste. I still really enjoy this creation, and you did a wonderful job.
First, I'd like to say I'm really thankfull for what you, Balázs (and the rest of Green Aqua Team), do for us, Aquascaping fans world wide. Personally, besides the weekly video release, every time I'm passing through a bad moment I come to this channel to get some relief. And for that I'm forever greatful! Secondly, I liked the scape! Simple and beautiful! But I got a question, Balázs, about the two main stone lines of the scape: Have you noticed the depth sensation achieved by the fact that the first line is stronger, thicker than the second one? I wonder if you did it intentionally or not. Cheers from Brazil. (Professor Klebber) P.S: the only improvement I would do: tilt the stones of the first main line a little bit foward, to have more shadows in the tank.
Oh, it was absolutely not intentional LOL. I'm really glad that you have good moments watching us, this is our main mission, I know that feeling, I get it by watching other types of videos. Keep it going, brother. Cheers!
beautiful work legend. love it. monte carlo always my top favourite one. crypto doing fabulous job. amazing layout. i always want to work with rocks only hardscape.
2:24 when you were explaining about friendly teasing we do that all the time in England. Its called banter! I tried abit of "banter" when i went to visit family in the US but i find they take them selves way too seriously! 😅
@@GreenAquaShop there’s a lot of fantastic aquatic content on YT, but you guys have the most best produced videos. So well done…inspiring and informative.
5:00 I wish if you do a Video about how to prepare the stones to be used for the first time. The dragon stones are very attractive with their reddish colour but the cleaning process is very challenging to get these beautiful cavities.
Some odd questions? For a rimless tank measuring 1200L x 500W x 600H mm, how thick should the glass be? Should the bottom be thicker? Is it best if the bottom is made of Plexiglass or Lucite rather than glass? Love your videos. I never thought I'd get so interested in aquascapes. I've even purchased stuff from you (and I live in Sydney, Australia).
Oh, how cool, Neil, thanks for the support. Well, I would not mix glass with plexi... I would just simply do it with opti-white (clear) glass. The thicker the heavier it will be but the front and back would not bend that much. A minimum of 10-12mm glass thickness is preferable. (The price also goes up with the thickness, and you'll need good quality silicone).
You look like a youngster in the fertilization masterclass video compared to now. :) But hey, we went through a lot of s**t since then. Jokes aside, I am planning to replicate that scape at home. It looks beautiful and easy to maintain in the same time.
Perfect video and the scape. I will copy this scape to my aquarium (60x40x40x) without making any changing. :) I hope ı will take same result. I have only one question. Which Fertilizer we need to use for this tank? Did you use only micro+macro+ excell or something else? A little help about it, would be just perfect. Thanks in advance .
Sounds good! Good luck with your scape. About fertilizers: you can use both the lean type or the EI fertilizing regime, depending on what you want to achieve. You might want to check out our fertilizing masterclass video for more info.
Hi quick question. I noticed that u didnt glue the hardscape together. I wonder how the maintenance will do later on? How do u guys scrub the rocks when needed?
The OLD tank was MUCH better because it was not completely linear and it had CHARACTER. Also, I LOVED the little compact plants, like a shaving brush, sticking out above the scape that were left out of the new one which made the tank very unique. For the new tank, you should flatten out the center rock leveling it like in the old scape so that all the rocks are not pointing the EXACT same direction which is boring.
We make many layout mistakes, not afraid to admit it, we try to correct these as we go, if they can be corrected. Embedded rock positioning is often not possible though.
I would say they are fully cycled by the time we introduce the fish, but we use cycled filter media also, regular water changes, and wait 3-4 weeks after setup before we release the video with the fish in it - last minute. With that said, I would say everybody should wait at least 4 weeks before introducing fish, and use filter starter bacteria after they fill up the tank.
MC gets more nutrients from the roots, if there is no nutritive soil the roots will get out of it. in a suspended bonsai MC will grow roots down to look for soil.
I really like the simple ones you all create. We can follow along much easier. Thanks
I love this style of iwagumi. For sure my next aquascape will be inspired by this tank.
Glad to hear that 😀
Looks so beautiful 🤩
Goodmorning!!!
Thank you for sharing!
We love your videos

Nice tank set up within the rocks and the plants
Glad you like this layout style. Very simple.
Actually just gorgeous! Great work!
Cheers!
simple and so beautiful..with dragons stone, i like it..
🙏
i love the simpleness of this tank its also probably not that bad in terms of price :)
Minimalist = probably less stuff, yeah, but the tech is the same with all layouts, and that's the majority of the cost.
I ❤️ love watching Green Aqua
Good to have you here!
Love this minimalistic tank.
It is a great style indeed.
It looks amazing. A stunning layout. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 2:05 "the only style that Tommy builds". Hahaha. Cheers guys.
Cheers, Luis. :) Yeah.
2023 and still watching
All of your tanks are Beautiful. I learn so much from you guys. Thanks 😊
Glad you like this one too, Bruno!
0:46 Yesssss!😂

I'm still watching in korea
If I can suggest, the two rocks on the lower part in the right should be tilted more
Yes. You are right.
Lovely 🥰 i like it a lot. Never built one.
Thanks! 🙏
Absolutely love it!
Absolutely thanks!
Excellent video guys. I actually was looking for how u guys did that older tank. I m going to try something similar to it in a near future. Congrats.

Just what I was looking for. I have the same tank and have been trying to figure out how to aqua scape it for weeks. Thanks for the inspiration.
You are very welcome, good luck with your scape.
👍
🙏
Can you make a video about some tricks/tips of contest tank like planting, creating hardscape…
We do have quite a few videos on both the contest tank building and layout techniques!
nice!
Thanks Andrew!
I love you guys.
Love you too! Cheers!
Beautiful 😍
Glad you like it!
You guys should do a how to film an aquascape tutorial with a camera
Thanks for the suggestion 👍
U r big inspiration

Man! If there are two things I love in this world it's Aquascaping and eating ass!
I love it ❤
Cheers!
I'm thinking of making a Rotala Vietnam carpeted tank and also with other stem plants too
Good luck with trimming that. LOL
Metric system is the way to go!
I’m Canadian, we are so confused.
LOL, right.
Looks great what steps as in water changes and ferts do u do after filling with water for the first month I’d like to know I’m about to set one up
Welcome to the beautiful European continent of aquascaping
LOL, cheers.
Leave the rock to Tommy. 🤣
(Only joking) It's fantastic.
LOL, cheers Liam!
In Ireland we call that “having the crack”. Happy st paddy’s day ☘️ 🇮🇪
LOL, not heard that expression before...
*craic
Super
Glad you like this, Piotr.
Perfecto 🇪🇸
Cheers!
I’m amaze the slopes doesn’t roll down. How many bag of amazonia v2 do I need to build this & how many kilo of ohko stones?
I used around 1.5 bags of 9 liters in this size. YOu can calculate it yourself, on our website even.
Beautiful. I’m trying to get one up myself, but contemplating between dragon rocks or Seriyu stones. How would you decide between them?
Hi quick question. I noticed that u didnt glue the hardscape together. I wonder how the maintenance will do later on? How do u guys scrub the rocks when needed?
Hi! Its necesary to fill it with cycled water? Or Its okey With Fresh water with fertilizers, you recomend grow in emerged?
CooL bro 👍
Cheers!
Really cool layout! I’ve only ever scaped with dragonstone in a vertical position, now I’m considering trying something with them laying down instead
It's always a good idea to try out new things!
I love it. I Had MONTE CARLO PARADISE Once, but it didnt last long, max 3 month, the monte already melt. Poor me 😂
Oh, something was not right then. I'm sure you'll eventually figure it out.
@@GreenAquaShop i didnt monte carlo anymore today. Just anubias scape for my tank, more hardy and i can sell it too…
Hello, I planted monte carlo, but the protection solution is not completely cleaned, does the mixture of water cause any harm?
it feels amazing using metric system lol
Looks good :-)
Thank you!
Both long n short version are nice but I prefer the long version, long version Is like 1500 meters Olympic game 😆
LOL, right.
In the long run, will those rocks slide down from the soil (substrates)? Because they are not sitting on any hard surface but just substrates.
No, interestingly they will stay in their place.
The OLD tank was MUCH better because it was not completely linear and it had CHARACTER. Also, I LOVED the little compact plants, like a shaving brush, sticking out above the scape that were left out of the new one which made the tank very unique. For the new tank, you should flatten out the center rock leveling it like in the old scape so that all the rocks are not pointing the EXACT same direction which is boring.
I agree with this comment!
@@GreenAquaShop I am shocked, but thanks for reading it and considering it. I like the new tank, but I just felt the old one looked better, cheers.
We make many layout mistakes, not afraid to admit it, we try to correct these as we go, if they can be corrected. Embedded rock positioning is often not possible though.
we want you to make your own aquarium decoration for African cichlids
Yeah, well, we don't do that. :) We like having both fish and plants in the tank. :) But I love cichlids, best fish, and very beautiful.
Is the background color paint or vinyl?
Just wondering are the tanks usually fully cycled by the time you put the fish in? 3-4 weeks as you mentioned.
many on YT setup scapes only for the vid, then they brake it appart, never copy what they do, document a bit more
I would say they are fully cycled by the time we introduce the fish, but we use cycled filter media also, regular water changes, and wait 3-4 weeks after setup before we release the video with the fish in it - last minute. With that said, I would say everybody should wait at least 4 weeks before introducing fish, and use filter starter bacteria after they fill up the tank.
MC gets more nutrients from the roots, if there is no nutritive soil the roots will get out of it. in a suspended bonsai MC will grow roots down to look for soil.
Getting out of the soil is more a matter of leaving the MC grow too big. It will be fine with regular trimming.
