650 LITER BIOTOPE AQUARIUM - BONSAI FOREST AQUASCAPE PLANTING AND FISH SELECTION
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Really? Do we really need to pick out the black pebbles of the ADA Aqua Gravel? We reached a new level of crazy in the process of setting up the biggest planted tank of our Gallery. Only to realize at the end, that we have actually built a true South-American biotope aquascape! How much better can this story get? Tune in and find out. Thanks to Aquaflora for the plants and to Aquarium Dietzenbach for the beautiful fish.

I've been waiting for this part 2 for so longggggggg... I discovered this channel a week ago and I'm hooked!!!
Glad to hear that, thanks for watching us!
I know the feeling.. because of this channel and 1 certain tank , I went from 0 to 5 tanks haha
@@lastlines09 I'm making my first planted tank because of Balàz!
DV so he got you too..welcome to the club 😀
@@lastlines09 Thanks!! I've been breeding guppies for 5 years but never looked into aesthetics. Now I'm making a 5 gallon planted tank!
Dear Balaz, you always amaze me by the way you present your teams creation. The way you and victor were looking at the blue angels with the smile, reflected how much you guys enjoyed the work. Please continue to enjoy your work, and keep us all amazed with your creations. All the very best and loads of love from India. Take care
Thanks for your kindness, as always. Cheers! Will do!
Its very different from the type of aquascapes you do and i am loving it...Great work done...very inspiring...!!
Thanks, yeah, it is very different, that's what I like about it too. Thanks for watching.
Quite impressive , Green Aqua is the best! I just don’t think is valid, to call South America a biotope. These fish not even live together.
Thanks a lot.
Yep,we know,it's not a real biotope,but try to use only South American fish. The biotope was a figure of speech.
Lóri
Love this fish focused style of scape. It looks fantastic. Now we need a video of feeding time! Its gotta be nuts!
Haha, will do one shot in the cinematic update, I promise.
"This" is not an aquarium. "This" is a work of art!
Thanks! Glad you like this!
I hate warm water tanks. They always have algae.
Us in tropical climates: First time?
imagine living in south east asia.............
Haha, I would have air conditioning or a chiller on the tank for sure.
What's considered to be a warm-tank? And what temp do they run their tanks at?
@@FJonas-ko5dl Umm... I would ask that to the experts instead. I think is over 70°F but I'm not sure.
Wow ! The production video team are killing it ! Amazing job, definitely better overall videos than the older ones you guys got my fiancé hooked to the channel as well. I do have a question, i realized i don’t see you guys using the Twinstar Nano algae inhibitors anymore, any particular reason for it ?
Huh I didn’t realized until you said it, wonder what happed.
Yeah hahaa i think someone said something about it in one of the videos but i cant remember who of the guys and which video it was, lets hope they see the question 🤞🏻
We've been the one who introduced the device 4-5 years ago in the EU after a long test phase. Used it for many years, but currently we have less in our displays. We've stepped up on maintenance and with this we have even more balanced layouts. No need such a device necessarily. 👍
Yup not a must have thing. Adds a little to the overall health if you use it. Just like UV which we also not using with all of the aquariums, but sometimes comes in handy :)
Green Aqua oh, I understand, i have been using mine for quite sometime now, honestly im not sure if there is a different or not but when it no longer work probably im not getting a new one, unless algae starts to grow hahaha. Thank you very much for your response, huge fan of the channel, you guys inspire me a lot in this hobby! Keep it up 👍🏻
This channel's quality is so good, it deserves a TV show/series
Edit: I was hoping you would add Altums skalares instead of blue angelfish, but they are really beautiful (not as much as Altums though)
Who watches TV any more? TV is gone, didn't you hear? Haha. I did my share in TV productions, I had enough... ;)
Green Aqua that’s true!
It's a pitty though, TV was good, while it lasted. :)
Also, Altums are more difficult to find as they are wild-caught, and we could not put our hands on some on such short notice. These blue Angels look a lot like them, once they grow a bit more they will be even more stunning. They've been in the tank only for a couple of days when we shot these final scenes with them, so they still need a couple of weeks to have their color and texture pop.
@@GreenAquaShop Regarding Altums: Unless they are caught from a sustainably managed area that keeps an eye on numbers and benefits local communities,, I always think the captive bred option is best.
"lebende tropische fische" hey your german ist really good!
Danke! I have a basic schi-deutsch, been skiing in Austria in the past too much. Haha.
This was 23 minutes of pure joy, loved it. Epic scape well done
Thanks so much, glad you liked it, cheers!
“A biotope is an area of uniform environmental conditions providing a living place for a specific assemblage of plants and animals. Biotope is almost synonymous with the term habitat” Every aquascape is not a biotope. Every biotope is not an aquascape.
Yes, when looking at that definition, this is not a biotope. We used a general term in the naming of this video, but yeah, it's not by-the-book.
A really good idea of removing the with back ground. Love how the tank turned out.
Cheers, glad you like this version!
What a stunning tank! The dark background of the blue, sets off the fish. Absolutely love it, and so different from your other styles. 💕
Thanks Joanne, yeah, this is why I like about this tank too, that it is something different. I love these fish too.
Green Aqua I love the panda corys. I didn’t reliase that they schooled together. 💕
They were introduced just the night before, they might stay like this, or they might spread out, we will observe and see. :)
I love the way you go about the thought processes of making a tank and how you go about it, thanks again
My pleasure! Glad you like my approach! Cheers Steve!
Oh mein gott, was für ein Wandel bei Green Aqua 👌🏻👍🏻
Eine unglaubliche Kulisse, was für eine tolle Arbeit und Idee ihr da habt, ihr seid unbezahlbar...
Berichtet gerne zwischendurch wie es dem Aquarium geht, ob wieder Algen kommen oder andere Probleme auftauchen und wie ihr dagegen vorgeht,,, ich würde mir gerne ein oder zwei Video wünschen wie ihr Probleme in euren Aquarium löst... Das wäre mal sehr spannend zu sehen,
Es ist ja so, jeder Aquarianer will so ein Aquarium !!! 90% scheitern an der Durchführung und an der Qualität des Aquarium, weil sie die Probleme in ihren Wasser nicht verstehen,, und dann ganz schnell aufgeben,,, macht doch ein paar Videos wie ihr Probleme löst...
Green Aqua ist so unglaublich schön und wunderbar,,,
Wir sehen uns noch dieses Jahr, ab in den Flieger und dann zu Green Aqua 💪🏻👌🏻👍🏻🍀
.

Oh my god, what a change at Green Aqua 👌🏻👍🏻 An incredible backdrop, what a great job and idea you have there, you are priceless ... Would like to report in between how the aquarium is doing, whether algae are coming again or other problems arise and how you are going to counteract them, I would like to have a video or two about how you can solve problems in your aquarium ... see, It is so, every aquarist wants such an aquarium !!! 90% fail because of the implementation and the quality of the aquarium because they do not understand the problems in their water, and then give up very quickly, but make a few videos how you solve problems ... Green Aqua is so incredibly beautiful and wonderful, See you later this year, off to the plane and then to Green Aqua 💪🏻👌🏻👍🏻🍀
.

Looking forward to have you over Steven! Glad you appreciate our efforts, and you are right about the hobby loosing people because of the lack of knowledge. We do everything in our power to help as many as possible to stay with aquascaping.
WOW! THAT IS GORGEOUS! DISCUS COMING NEXT! I FEEL IT GUYS!! STOP TEASING HAHA 😂 THE WOW EFFECT IT STRONG 💪!
Haha Alberto, in your dreams! I will never put myself into building a discus tank in the Gallery, unless I do what Tommy suggested, daily automatic 15% water changes.
@@GreenAquaShop NOOO! In books yes but discus are more hardy then people claim!I love you guys regardless! 😉 (Do it, do it) 😃😄
I will never put them in 23 degrees celsius, like all of our tanks... :) Cheers, thanks for the support.
@@GreenAquaShop you will always have my support.
I know man. You are great!
Nice aquarium, but apsolutely not biotope. Greetings from Poland.
Yep,we know, but thanks for the correction. :)
Cheers.
Lóri
How do you keep the horned nerite in the tank without escaping?
We talk to them not to. Haha. Well, seriously, they don't really leave the tank, if they feel good - when the tank water is cool, temperature is good, etc.
@@GreenAquaShop Thank you so much for replying, does that apply for Amano shrimp? I'm from Malaysia, but I never met Josh sim, sad haha, I'm 13, love your channel.
Sir I'm from India kerala sir which fertilizer used in this aquarium
I could be wrong, but wouldn't this have to be blackwater to be a biotope?
Nope, you're right.We try to do something fresh/new,and it's probably closer to the biotop,not a typical aquascape. The biotope now is just a figure of speech. :)
Lóri
The scape looks nice but its overstocked.
Thanks a lot.
Yep,we talk about,probably remove a few tetras.
Lóri
@Ben Manning Its more about the fish themselfes. Way too dense.
First
Good job! :) Congrats. Enjoy.
I looove the tank. But it looks a tiny bit too crowded. Is it following at least the 1 gal. per 1 inch rule? I'm pretty sure it is but I'm just curious.
It does indeed. Haha. This was the main goal - to have a different view - of the shoaling fish. Yepp, it's following that rule, the huge filter copes perfectly with the Ammonia. No health issues.
I love you, but I don't like this aquarium, it looks like a dead, burnt forest, don't be angry please, the film itself a work of art montage humor but ... I miss Green Aqua here
I'm not angry, I thank you for your honest opinion. We did something else indeed here, not the usual zen garden style. We wanted a vibrant, yet dark atmosphere. I do not expect everybody to like it. We respect the freedom of opinions. :) Cheers.
Great work! And congratulations for all the content you produce! For this work, I would just have a little less black tetras and would also replace the panda's for the adelphoi corys ;-)
Nice aquarium but thats not a Biotope Aquarium at all
Haha, yeah, you're right, it's not, in the strict sense. If you would be a bit more forgiving than you'd say yes. Haha.
I'm following an watching your channel since months now and always i'm amazed how beautifull them tanks turn out, just one question, snails do crawl out of the tank, since you are not covering the top of the aquariums i suppose u introduce new snails regulary ??
Every time I watch your videos, I am charged with the "beautiful world of aquascapig", my heart is filled with beauty. I want to learn to do the same, with such love and accuracy.
I'm sure you will, thanks for this feedback, keeps us going! Cheers.
This is just stunning, Balazs. I love that you guys really push the boundaries in aquascaping. As a kid, I always used to read and reread and reread Amano's books; now, as a big kid, I watch and rewatch and rewatch Green Aqua. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. Glad you like our videos Alex. Yeah, it is so good to be big kids. I am one too. We're just playing, and love it.
hi. NICE video thanks again. Just a question : "What's the video of the back in the right at 4:53 " ?
my favorite aquarium .......Angels and Black Skirts cannot beat that combo.
Really nice setup... I would be very happy to see if you could do one nice big Discus 😉 tank ...
Haha, I would be happy to, but not very happy about the algae that comes with it - because of the warm water. But maybe one day we'll do it like Tommy suggested, with automatic daily 15% water changes.
@@GreenAquaShop ya willing to see what all technology you will be using to make it work. I am sure that would be one of your best tanks at gallery 😁
Cheers, stay tuned. :)
Hi! Really curious to know if the Nerites lay eggs all over the scape and how you remove the eggs?
It’s not overstocked….but why no algae eating team? 😊
I really love ❤️ this tank .. and color texture of tank and fish..
Thank you so much 👍
Green Aqua , I have watched all most all of your videos (quality excellent).. koi pond 😍..
Amazing tank!! Every video inspires me more, and im sure it inspires many others as well. Thank you❤️
You're welcome, thanks so much for the support! Glad you like this tank and glad we inspire!
it is not a biotope but an environmental aquarium: P Looks great ;).
I know man, you are very strict in the biotope rules. Haha. Think more generally, and it's a biotope. Think properly and all those fish and plants would have to be from the same bend of the river, from the same side of the river. Haha.
With all the live stock it takes away from the slow flow of the bonsai trees with a calmer nature. Just my opinion.
Great job and great video 👏👏👏
Thanks a lot. :)
Lóri
Crazy or not... That's dedication 🤣
not only beautiful aquascapes,
but now y'all are fashion models 🤣
What an amazing scape.. the groundwork and planting you put in with the barriers and the carpeting.. super nice.. I love the trees.. what incredible work!
I love the angelfish. They are absolutely stunning! the black Venezuelan corydoras... I am in love... I have never seen those before 😍 the panda Cory's very good choice and are my personal favorite,the penguin and black widowTetras were the perfect additions.I really enjoyed the whole video.. I always learn something and you always make me laugh 👍🙏🐟🌿🌱❤️!
Fashion models? Have you seen Tommy's beard? Haha.
Yeah, the Venezuela corys are great, we have them in a couple of tanks already. Thanks for the kind comment Mary, as always. Cheers.
This tank looks amazing!!!!!
Aren't you afraid of a second wave of algae ??
Fish and plants are on a different proportion instead of the other tanks in the Gallery....
Well, the filtration should be cycled by now, we're doing the water changes, and hope for the best, haha. It should be fine.
Wow, the tank look so beautiful 👍👍👍I love this channel 👍
Wow, Not only does it look amazing, but it really is one of a kind, I've never seen a style of scape like this before! also this must be the first time I've seen 'big' fish in a GreenAqua scape XD, its really stange to see them swimming around in what seems like air, the water is that clear! keep up the amazing work and as always, from Australia, have a great week and see you next Thursday!
Thanks so much my friend, well, it is uncharted territory for us indeed, had to do something else to bring you guys new inspiration. Glad it seems you like it. Cheers, see you!
I really love this original scape, and especially the attention to detail, which is really seen when finished. Truly artistic, beautiful and natural.
So glad you like this, thanks for this good feedback! Cheers.
This tank has really inspired me to start an aquascape Great work guys
I'd just like to mention that "Plains of Illeyneth" song you're using is a complete rip off of "The bombing mission" from Final Fantasy VII :D
Haha, did not realise that.
@nunogomes I thought I was crazy when I heard it too hahahaha
New video 🥰🥰🥰thank you
You’re welcome 😊 Enjoy!
I laughed quite some in this episode, right from the very beginning looking at Balazs picking up rocks so cheerfully. Tbh I’ve never seen someone look so happy and enjoying it (perhaps when the camera is off, Balazs did some intense hair pulling and a loud scream of death, who knows..) 😄 The duo of Goofy Balazs and Serious Tommy is always such an enjoyment to watch. One who loves to spend as much as he can on a new tank, and Tommy (the Vanguard of Treasury) pulling the leash to hold back Balazs not to dash off with another 80 pots of plant. It’s not just about business and work, but you are truly passionate and love what you do, and it shows in each and every videos you make. And I think that is why Green Aqua video are such a joy to watch.
Aside from that the tank itself is beautifully made despite the ‘simplicity’ and how clean it looks. My personal interpretation is showing me that life is returning to this long-forgotten place and the fishes are there to return & celebrate. It gave me a Zen feeling when I look at it, and that is what makes Aquascape a beautiful world. Congratulations on this amazing tank! I really like it 😊 👍
Haha, Tommy is truly a Vanguard. Will tel him, Haha. Glad you liked this, thanks for the kind comment, highly appreciated! Cheers.
Thanks for the video.👍👍👍👍👍👍 this we are accepting from “Green Aqua”.Thanks for the minimalism and anglefish are amazing style for the scape.........
Thanks, glad you liked this one too! Cheers!
It's looking awesome
Loved the concept Biotope.
Looking forward for more such beautiful fish.
Cheers, glad you liked this style, something different from what we usually do.
So beautiful, perfect fish choice for this aquarium
Thank you so much. Glad to read this. :)
Lóri
What's with this liter crap? It's gallons man :)
Hey guys!!!
What negative effects to moss have you seen using the twinstar in past tanks?
Cheers
Makes it brownish. Also, we noticed some plants to suffer a bit. We don't like the floating bubbles in the tank, these reactors (diffusers) will corrode easily. These are the drawbacks and the reasons we never use these any more in our tanks. Except this one, where the Oxygenation was of great importance.
Balazs sir this video is full of surprise package...so much effort in this tanks...you have so amazing helping hands.. Tommy sir is my favourite one..he always give amazing ideas, I like his suggestion of Corydora...tank face so many problems ..but after so much hard work of green aqua staff ,this tank looks fantastic. We called this tank so perfect ..I love this tank's simplicity.. natural looks give extraordinary effect..live stock are awesome..Balazs sir with your fun this video is so beautiful and amazing..keep it up sir...u r really my ideal..I follow you every time..sir also make nano tank with Tommy sir... thanks for beautiful video
You're welcome, thanks for the suggestions, I noted them. Yeah, this is a very simple scape, I like to do different things.
I selected once upon a time my pebbles like you. Got a bad rating in a contest from Jurijs because of those pebbles...
Haha, Jurijs can be mean. Just kidding. He is cool, a good friend.
It looks Amazing Great job guys ... You guys are so lucky to have such wide variety and exotic fishes..Here we can see rarely
We're lucky to have partners like Aquarium Dietzenbach who help us with the selection. :) Just sayin'. :)
I thought you would plant Anubias on top of the wood, to create a bonsai look. But it also looks beautiful like that^^
We all did that before, in many videos, I wanted to do something else for a change. :) Might tweak it in the future, but will leave it like this for some time, let's see.
@@GreenAquaShop "variety is the spice of life"
Absolutely!
*I've been waiting for this part 2 for so longggggggg... I discovered this channel a week ago and I'm hooked!!!*
Thanks! Glad it was worth the wait. You have quite a few vids to watch then. Enjoy!
Minimalistic, very elegant and so different we're used to see at GreenAqua. But as usual VERY profesional! Made with Love to Mother Nature!!! Thanks You for brilliant Job!!!🤗🤩
Thanks for the kind comment! Glad you appreciate our initiative to do something else.
Balázs, you are the best Gravelpipőke I had ever seen. LOL BTW, the B&W "Welcome to the beau..." was absolutely stunning. So fresh, so unusual, so creative. Keep-up this amazing unpredictable brilliance in your vlogs.
Will do Mary, thanks so much for the kind feedback as always. Glad you appreciate the creativity. Cheers!
Hello Ballaz, I like this project because it is very simple and the result is good .
Could you add the quantity of soil in your videos because it's very important for us ?
Example : ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia II (27 L) , ...
Thank you
Oh, I know what you mean, not sure we always keep track of how much we use. I know, I know. Haha. But when we do, I always try to do that. Anyway, I'll tell you how much we used here, and you can always calculate it for yourself. In the middle there is an average of say 8 cm of soil thickness (general plant soil), the island is about 100 cm wide in the 180 cm tank and it is about 35 cm deep in the 45 deep tank. So 8x100x35 / 1000 = 28 liters of soil went into this approximately. That is 3 from the 9 liter bags, approximately. For the Base Layer Fertilizing substrate you'll have to divide that by 8 (you have 1 cm instead of 8) and that is 3.5 liters, so a 4 liters will be enough. I talk about this in our substrate tutorial too.
I would suggest to add some Phoenix Rasboras aka the chili Rasboras,It is Native to: Southwestern Borneo, Indonesian province of Kalimantan Selatan (South Kalimantan) and it can survive in water quality of pH: 5.0 - 7.2 And the Green Neon Tropical Tetra is very small native fish to South American rivers,Their ideal survival water Ph quality can be as low as 3.0 or 4.0,I hope this helps and by all means the 650 litre Biotope aquarium tank looks amazing 💎💎👌👍
Thanks so much for the suggestions Freyja.
I'm sure the hardcore biotope fans would kill us if we would use Rasboras in this tank though. They would even want us to have fish from the same river, or the same part of that river. Haha.
For the Green Neon Tetras - well I'm afraid those would be eaten by the Angels, these bigger cichlids will hunt down anything that is small enough to be considered a prey. The Corys can defend themselves (they have slightly venomous spines), that's the only reason we were not afraid to introduce them in the tank.
great update video guys and the aquarium look sick! Excellent choice with fish! please let me know what issues the moss is having with the twinstar algae inhibitor!!! thanks Balazs.
Moss gets brownish! Like burned out...
Hi Balazs, quick question: is the Eheim 2273 not a Professional 4 version (in the description is 3)? Thayeria boehlkei I think is forgotten type of fish in our aquariums. Personally I think it's too many fish all together. I love Angles fish, especially those with vertical stripes. What is the difference between "blue" and "yellow", I mean which type is more/closer to the original wild once? In general tank look good as for beginning of its life. 👍
Greatings from Manchester UK to all aquatic life lovers. Stay safe.
No, that is the filter that filters, not thinks, haha. I don't like filters that think. :) They should do their job, period. I guess I'm old fashioned. Haha. I think this tank is not overpopulated, considering the strong filtration and the two twinstars, and also the sheer size of the tank. I wanted to reproduce something like you also see in nature, a huge shoal of fish. Nothing less, nothing more. We don't usually do this, we usually limit the number of the fish a lot, and have more plants, that is the Nature Aquarium style we pursue, this was meant to be different. I think the Altums should be the original species, these colorful ones are a bit further away from those. But we could not put our hands onto Altums on such short notice. Unfortunately. Thanks for the kind comment, cheers!
little late to the show, but this setup is so incredibly, beautiful. i have angels and discus and was looking for a simple yet bold setup and this one fits my project nicely for my new 125, ty.
Glad you found inspiration in this setup for your 125-gallon project. Simple and bold can genuinely create a stunning environment for angels and discus. Wishing you the best with your aquascaping journey. Feel free to share your progress!
Have 120x50x50 on the way and was planning on making pretty much the same kind of scape with angelfish and discus (even ordered the same JBL sand) and then this video came out 😁
Just what the doctor prescribed 😂
Can't afford those lights without selling bodyparts, but I have a feeling Twinstar S might do the trick..
Sure, you'll be fine, you don't really need these lights for this kind of tank, these plants will be fine under the twinstar too.
Ikannya mirip punya saya😁
Cool, you must have beautiful fish then!
Gymnocorymbus ternetzi with Angelfish? Give it some time, and the Angelfish will loose their fins from nibbling. Much better off with the black phantom tetra. Of course, a nice looking tank, but consider the choice of fish a little more than just "colors".
Worked out great until we had this layout without problems.
Not bad. Certainly well done. I think you reached your goal rather splendidly.
Though I'm not really a fan of plain black & white.
Would love to see you do something similar with reds & blues . . . e.g. Reds a la Arizona, Utah red rocks or something similar. Neons/Cardinal tetras, turquoise & blue Discus, Dwarf Gourmies, Manzanita red wood, Maybe even some large lapis lazuli stones (expensive!) etc.
The short plants on the bottom only were a bit toooo minimalist for my taste. I like tall plants of various shapes as well as some medium plants.
When things are done in too minimalist way--even 'merely' to emphasize the fish--it feels too sterile & mechanistic, to me. Kind of like a sterile high tech dystopian sci fi movie.
Anyway--love your tanks and program. Thanks lots.
Oh, yeah, I love the desert, and would love to do something like that, thanks for the suggestion! Noted. We try different styles. This is very popular with many. I love this too.
Love the minimalist style 👌♥️🍀. I think I'm gonna replicate this for my 2 meters tank 😍😂
Go for it! You'll love it.
@@GreenAquaShop thank you for the great inspiration. Will start doing the project by next week 🍀🙏
Good luck with it!
I like angelfish but sadly cant keep shrimps with them :(
That's such a weird but beautiful project!!
Thanks! Glad you like it. It was weird indeed. Haha.
I can see the headlines now... “man driven to insanity due to overuse of pebbles and pots of plants”
Haha. :)
Almost happened.
Watched 5 seconds .... Liked the video already 🤗 You are educational, interesting, funny and have the most beautiful aquascapes!
Thanks so much Karin, as usual! You are too kind.
It's quite nice so far, but you guys really need to consider a freshwater sump tank on these large builds. A 16L canister?
Drill an overflow box that gravity drains into a secondary tank and return with a Lilly pipe from a return pump. It will be easier to service, greatly expand your water treatment options, allow for far more media than the canister, and probably be cheaper?
Just a friendly idea :)
Also the TwinStar electrolysis will produce some oxygenation, but surface agitation would be better. TwinStars advantage is the production of reactive oxygen species: super-oxide, ozone, even some hydrogen-peroxide. Bryophyta's (moss) is a primitive plant form not far removed from Algae, if you oversize an electrolysis device or overuse one it will create a similar effect as if you dosed ozone or hydrogen-peroxide to the tank. That's where the algae control comes from, its low concentration of reactive oxygen. Try running a smaller unit, and never oversize one.
We do have sumps here and there, but just with all systems there are pros and cons on all filtration. Sump has cons too. On this system we have the same filtration for over 8 years now? :)
Nice Setup but it's way too much Fish in it.
And number of Angel Fishes will cause trouble when they are in Breedmode. Usually you say maximum 2 Couples in a Tank of this Size to avoid these Troubles
Thanks for the insight Lars, well, we don't think that's going to be an issue, but will keep a close eye on them and see what happens. So far so good.
Oh... so beutifull... you have surprised me with this final look. But very possitive way. After part one I was expecting some moss trees more green. This is totaly perfect. One thing that makes me sad is, I have built only 60cm high tank, which is for altumns not enough... maybe next time.🤣. Beautifull to see something different in you showroom. 👍
Yeah, this is indeed far from what we usually do, but hey, good to have it. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers.
Hey.
I love your work, i love your stile.
I watched every Video from u and i know all your tanks but that one is one of your best. I like this minimalistic style. ( i mean the plants)
Maybe I visit u in October. 1400km. OMG.
My best wishes for u and all of your crew.
Cheers, hope this thing clears until then. Looking forward to your visit! Thanks for the kind comment.
Nice Tank, but tooooo much Fish inside. This looks verry crowded and disturbs the relaxing effect of the Tank.
Greetings
This was not meant to be relaxing. :) This was meant to be something different from the original classic Nature Aquarium style. A vibrant, exciting underwater world.
It is always so fun to see Balaz and Tommy interact lol. Balasz with his planting densely and needing 100 pots for planting a 60p. Haha! Good job with the tank Balasz. looks great. :D
Cheers, thanks! :)
What a crazy family at green Aqua, , wow impressive planting. Good to see Tommy and Victor in front of the camera again.the tank is looking amazing.
Lot's of information in this video.
Brilliant another wow , extraordinary beautiful.
More of them is coming soon! :)
I love this set up quite achievable for all, was going to say the Penguin Tetras will all jump out without a cover,i love breeding them but you loose so many to jumping. I think the final mix of fish is a better visual display possible add L236 Black and White Strip Pleco if you can find type A Type B is the more common that has wave strip
Thanks for these thoughts, yeah, these Penguins could jump indeed, especially if chased by the Angels.
Dear All at Green Aqua, absolutely LOVE what you've done with this tank! Superb, stunning outcome and something slightly different for your gallery? A truly great addition. Hope to visit again soon to see it in person, amongst all the other magical tanks of course. Stay safe all......Calum, Stirling, Scotland
Cheers, looking forward to have you over again, glad you like this creation too.
Nice tank, really reminiscent of an island, I like this layout ...very good .
Thanks Franciel, glad you like it!
Great video and super inspiring! Though I have a feeling, without Tommy, Green Aqua would go bankrupt
Haha, Tommy the guardian of the vault!
Another killer video.Balazas ,remember the stock tub idea I mentioned using Green Aqua brands?Can you run this idea by your Dept? When I make mine,want me to make a video of it,and send it to you guys?
Yeah, sure! Waiting for that, you can drop an email to my name on the regular contact page - with a link.
Would love to see it in a month again, plz remember update this project regularly. Stunning :-)
Absolutely. Will keep you posted. Cheers.
How do you deal with balancing oxygen & CO2 injection, looks like the angels are swimming upwards, this is always a challenge for all fish when you don't have airstones specially discus :(
That's why we introduced the Twinstar sterilizer that will add a lot of Oxygen to the water. They are not swimming upwards any more, what you saw is probably the result of their accommodation process, they have just been introduced to the tank because of the video release, a day earlier.
"Shrimpstyle"...😂😂
Love you, guys❤
Breathtaking scape!
Haha, thanks Barbara. :) Cheers.
You should have gone with the black phantom tetras instead of the black widows. They should work well with what you're trying to achieve and the best part is they interact well with each other making the tank more interesting to look at. Just get all males If you don't want the brownish tinch of the females. BTW you have too many black widows in there. Try removing around 40-50%
Thanks for the suggestions! Well, I always wanted a 'crowded look' in one of our tanks, as far as fish go. Never did that before, but I felt with this scape and this filtration I can do it safely. So I went for it. Our problem with the black phantoms is that we've used them extensively before, and many people use them. Black widows are somehow not as popular, and we wanted to opt for some fish that are less used nowadays. I love the way they are scattered around in the whole tank, yet if you watch them there's a distinct pattern in their swimming around. Your suggestions are right though. I love these types of comments.
Absolutely beautiful... Blue Angels are perfect selection for this aquascape...
Glad you like our fish selection decision. Cheers!
I would’ve been a bit happier with some discus but I get your point. :) Great video! Btw do you give any specific food to the pandas? Or any fish living at the bottom of a tank.
They get Hikari sinking pellets.
I love the blue background and the fish choice. I think having some moss draping from the branches would be beautiful.
That could be a solution, yes, been thinking about it... Maybe with time.
Absolutely stunning! The pure black and white-ish fish species looks awesome together 🙌🙌
Cool, glad you like the end result! Cheers!
Wow beautiful. That's a completely unique tank in your gallery and one of if not the nicest angelfish tanks I've seen. I wonder if and how your maintenance routine changes when you heavily stock a tank like this. Thanks for sharing your incredible work, you guys are awesome.
Well, we don't think we need to do anything else than what we usually do, weekly water changes, cleaning the glass, the wood, the sand, that's it. Cheers!
Has anyone witnessed the angels follow the coryodras or was that hogwash 🤣? Can’t wait for the feeding videos and hope to catch a glimpse of the Coreys schooling. Always loved minimalist style homes. Never thought it would look so good inside of an aquarium.
Amazing work again Green Aqua team!
There are so many fish in this tank at the end, that nobody follows anybody. Haha. Thanks for the kind feedback, glad you like the scape.
Very nice simple design, minimalist and elegant. Somehow still have some feel like not complete for the wood, too naked maybe due too many thin branch. hehehe that's is my own personal taste. I always give big thumb up for Green Aqua tank setup.
Yeah, that's why, probably. Will see what I want to do with it...
I'd add some Blyxa japonica in the background and I'd use a stronger circulation pump to make the fish shoal better
Thanks for the suggestions, Blyxa is not South-American though, the biotope fans would kill us. :)
I have one Doubt, Which Camera you have to used for video Shooting... Bcoz its more clarity than others...
All details in the description, including our favorite camera gear. :)
OMG...!!! the way you spending time to pick the stone in a mixer of colour it shows your ppl are bone for this hobby you guys are awesome and the way Balazs and Tommy host is the show is taken to next level guys I guess this is the only tank which green aqua has a large and huge quantity of fisher :)
Yepp, the other option would be the 450 liter one, but we crowded that with rocks, so yepp, this is the only one. Thanks for watching.
