You just became the best aquascaping channel in the world. Your scapes are on another level. Thank you.
Thanks for your support and your words. Really gives the motivation to keep going. 😀👍
Green Aqua It would be wonderul if you could make a video series about plants. How will they look like and how to compose them. Your tanks should be a great example for us. Thank you again for sharing this with us.
Thanks for the tip! Noted! :)
So much inspiration in one video! Excellent job guys.
Thank you :) Glad you like the result :)
A beautiful scape, and the way you talked us through it, something we could try ourselves. Great job guys!
Beautiful scape. Keep growing Green Aqua
Thank you Bagus 👍
that is beautiful tank, you made the process look so simple and full of joy! thank for sharing this awesome experience. Please keep us update with the progress of this beautiful aquarium!
Thank you Shawn, appreciate that. 👍
At Professional level, you are the best in the world. Simply wonderful aquariums. congratulations.
Thank you for your support. There are still many ways to improve, and that is our goal too, but glad to hear you enjoy the content. 😋👍
Fantastic work! I look forward to seeing the updates of it growing in.
Thank you John. Will definitely do an update later on the progress!
Thank you Green Aqua.
You guys are doing great job! Thank you for sharing your knowledge to random and experienced aquatic owners and aquascapers 🙏
Hi Martin, thank you for your words and support. Really appreciate for that.
Hopefully, you find some useful info in it or will inspire on your upcoming builds 😀👍
Nature Aquarium style is the best!!! Love it!!
Thank you Sanel. 👍😋 Glad you like it!
Gorgeous.
I like best the videos where you include the whole process and talk about choosing plants etc.
Been following you for 5 years now :)
you guys always bring me something new...
Thank you for the inspiration. Beautiful.
Thank you Danielle 😊
love your tanks. great series of vids. please keep them coming. need to see this tank develop
Thanks! Will do an update later on for sure! 😊👍
Részletes videókat csináltok, mindenre odafigyelve! Ez a videó is olyan, mintha kicsit oktató Vidi is lenne, és ez jó, mert, mindig jó tanulni, hozzáértő emberektől! A végén, hogy egymás mellett van a kettő akvárium, tényleg nagyon jól kiegészitik egymást! Jó sok munka lehet ebben az egészbe, vagyis a GreenAquaba, amit ti csináltok! Én csak azt mondom, hogy így tovább, és nélkületek Magyarországon egy hatalmas űr maradna, tehát csakis előre!!! Gratulálok az egész csapatnak!!!
If i had a store like this near me i would be broke...
Well, you can do this hobby in many ways. That is the lovely part of it. We also built a local community, which is now sharing plants here for newbies. Organizing a local aquascaping contest too, to inspire others and future generations for many years now. A good shop can support the hobby many ways also helps you to get educated quickly, teach you tips, tricks. This is why we're turning to UA-cam now, to share everything that we've learned in the past years. And hopefully, others will enjoy this journey too. When we've started there was not too much help, so we had to do everything on our own.
By the way the scape is beautifull!
gr8 video as always guys!!!
well done!!
Thank you 😀👍
Love this triangular aquascape style, great work lads.🤙
Thanks Pete, we can not wait to remove the support stones and have a clean look. Will do an update then. 😊👍
Was waiting for this...and wait for to see the growth...all the best..
Thanks! Check out how it looks after 1 week: flic.kr/p/29CU9Z5
Great scape and thank you for showing how it is done! Keep up the great work! - Little Bobby
Oh, you found it. 👍 Thx for watching.
Beautiful aquarium! Wauw
Thank you so much.
Very well done! Looking forward to seeing the final result in a few days when the plants grew large. You are really professional.
Thank you Filip! 👍 Appreciate your support and words. You can check how it looks now on this photo. Few days after planting: flic.kr/p/29CU9Z5

Awesome job guys. I screen shot the list of plants from this video, since I'm next to scape a 40g tank; and would like to know from all that plant list which are less demanding or null demanding co2 plants?
Balazs didn't even lay down in this one lol nice work guys!
Love the video guys, and the scape ofcourse. Can't wait to see it al grown in and mature. You guys rock!
Greetings from Holland
Cheers Nick! Thanks mate! 😀👍 Will do an update later on.

Thank you. Glad you like it! 😊👍
Wonderful Tank👍 i love you aquascape
Cheers!
I love these master classes and they really are masterclasses!
Thanks man!
Отличная музыка! Отличный аквариум!
Thank you :)
Great job guys! I really liked the detailed planting part, when you show each individual specie with the name. In most videos the professionals usually just say names but we have no idea of the look of the plants. Hope to see again the aquarium in a few months. Thanks!
Thanks Fábio, glad you liked our vid. Please check out our other ones as well, we are trying to push out as much info as we can on this beautiful hobby. 👍🏻
Stunning layout again guys, well done
Thanks Martin, will do an update on this one shortly. Looks really nice now. 👍
Absolutely amazing (: you Guy's always deliver something good
Thank you Adam, love to hear that! 😋👍
You guys are Amazing! I am gonna do my first co2 aquascape after christmas and i have gotten so much inspiration from you guys! Beautiful tank guys
Thank you for your feedback :) Have a lot of fun on this wonderful journey 😃👍
You guys are so great. You also show the fun side of enjoying plants. Maybe one day soon you can do a video on flow placement techniques too. Great job !
Thank you Thomas, good idea, noted!
Wow great job it looks fantastic always gives me great ideas thanks
Thank you David, glad you find something useful in it 👍😀
So goofy! I love it! 😍✌

As always. I love the videos you guys put out. Very informative. I may start saving my money and come across the pond to come and visit you guys. Love this video.
Thanks again Benji. Come, we'll have a drink together in the city!
I love it big time , you guys make it look so easy but you are truly skilled( artists) . There should be A Green Aqua in every country in Europe for starters. Love from the Netherlands
Cheers Ed, thank you for your support and words. Means a lot to us. 👍 Let's hope others will be inspired too, to put more effort into education and support for the hobby. 😀👍
You the best aqua channel out there 👌🏻🤙🏻keep going! Keep pushing! The work never gets easier you just get stronger!!😜
Thanks so much, your feedback is much appreciated, it keeps us going. Glad you like our vids, and we hope to be able to get better and better for you guys. 🙏🏻👍🏻
This is so freaking good.
Glad you like what the guys did.
This scape is pretty much what my dream scape would be! Beautiful wood, some masculine rock and just enough plants to pull it all together! Like you said, not a competition tank, but perfect for the home. I'm saving this video for future reference! You guys are AWESOME!!!! Thank you for all you do? 👍😘🤗🌿🌱🌿❤️
Is that a question? Just kidding, thanks for your kind words, glad you like this tank and this style. We're trying to come up with new tanks all the time... 🙏🏻👍🏻
@@GreenAquaShop OOPS!!! 😳No, sorry bout that! LOL! 😜😀
😉👍🏻
Muito bom sem duvida um belo aqua com layout muito simples mas espetacular muitos parabens
Thank you Filipe 👍😊
Great job !! Greetings from Brazil
Thanks José 😉👍
LUXUS
Hobby is about spending money. But you can decide how you would like to enjoy the hobby. Do it yourself? Make it super cheap? Make it more visually pleasing? There are many ways. Tools are just there to support our creativity. 👍😊
It is so nice in these crazy times here in America to turn on your channel and find a little comic relief Thanks
Dear Sharon, thank you. Nice to hear that we can help you to relax a bit. Do not stress too much. 😊👍
Gentlemen, you are the best in this industry. Each of your underwater world draws inspiration from Takasi Amano. I am waiting for your realizations of the 90x45x45 and 60x30x36 tanks. Keep it that way because it's nice to watch
Hey Tomek, thank you for your words. We've been inspired by Mr. Amano a lot. If we can continue the mission what he had in mind, we will be glad. His style is still a timeless piece of art.
Surely more content is coming. Thank you for staying with us. 😀👍
Hi guys. Love it
Thank you 😊
Cool
Thanks Lucky. :)
I'm planning out a 95 liter Mizube and researching plants. This video was awesome! I really enjoy your content.
Thanks for the nice feedback. Hope you'll like our newer videos too.
Szuper igazatok lett ☺️ 🤩😱remélem lesz majd róla videó mikor sor kerül a nyírásra. Gratulálok a csapatnak 🍻

Is there a video for the tank behind Viktor at 5:00? Ive seen it in the background of other videos, and i really like it but ive not seen a video on it
i really like your videos : )
Thank you, love to hear that! 😃😊
Awesome you just gained a subscriber !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to read this.
Thankyou for a reply! I do tropical aquariums and my own sort of aqua scaping I just got some assassin snails to help deal with pest snails !!! Any help or advice on 1,000 subscribers would be awesome
Superbe !!
Thank you Christian 😊👍
Man I wish i had some money to make something like this in India its way to costly to go for planted aquarium! And love your videos❤️
Love these videos I'm looking for ideas to scape my 125 u.s. gallon tank I'm trying to set up.
Thank you! 👍 That is a nice size! Will this be a planted one? Would you dive more into the gardening or just to have a relaxing slow background tank?
Wery good job guys grate video😍 your channel inspires me to make a new tank . making this beatifull aquascape and explaning how to built hard escape and plants plus more importantly the technical part hou to use the plants out of the box witch for some beginner don t know what that glue in box iemand specifics of the type of plants. Im looking forward seeing it grow to the next video!!!im learning more each day 😊
Thank you, Raimondo. Glad you found some useful tips in there. Appreciate your support! 😊👍
GOOD👍VIDEO👏👏👏😄
Thank you 😊👍
Really good guys!! Your work is an inspiration for me... saluti dall'italia 🌱⛰🇮🇹🇮🇹 ciaoooo
Dear Marco, thank you for your words. Appreciate it! :)
@@GreenAquaShop I say it because I have a dream .... and it's the same that you've made creating something that goes beyond money
As always when we see new plants, we are exited! That's aquascape! Don't you think so?
Cześć. Piękne akwarium. Jakie ryby w nim będą? Pozdrawiam.
Love this!! Im in the early stages of learning about aquascaping before i make the investment and im glad I came across your channel and this video as a first.
You're welcome Dave, that is the point of our videos. To help newcomers, people who burn out of the hobby or just never heard about aquascaping. We do our mission here over 10yrs now and now with UA-cam we can spread the word quickly. 😃Glad you like it and please let us know if you're looking for specific answers, so we might bake that into our future videos. 👍
@@GreenAquaShop the amount of maintenance per week looks a little daunting, but I guess over time it will become easier once a routine is established and more confidence is developed
Yup like you said with routine and practical tools you make it painless easily. But the result is so good to look at all along the year. Worth the effort. 👍
Excelent work people...
Viktor and Tamás, you should be proud of this layout and planting scheme...!
It will be wonderful since it will mature very quickly, right from the start, with such dense planting. Loved it.
I don’t resist making a spicy comment (not aiming at you guys, let me be clear!) for the most attentive:
- had you guys planted this tank a few months earlier, and submitted in due time, I’m sure you would have won IAPLC-2018, with full merit!
Keep up the good work, you deserve all the success in the world, stay safe, stay strong and have fun...!
Best regards from PORTUGAL 🇵🇹 to the entire team >
Thank you Luis, love to hear your feedback. Appreciate that! 😊👍
On contest... i hear those voices and easy to understand. As a judge on many contests, there were things which are hard to explain. But let's just celebrate the nature, creativity and the people behind this hobby. 👍 Be positive and happy no matter what happens..... 👍
You are right. Lets not loose focus on what is more importante here: GREEN AQUA's contribute to NA and your FUNtastic momentum and energy! Congrats!!!
Closure:
One tends to criticise (constructively) because we cherish the hobby, the history behind the brand, the life-example of the founder... and can't help feeling that all this Universe of supporters, clients, distributors, friends in general, deserved more.
This corporate decision was not well thought through. China may be an important market to conquer, but it was not fair.
You guys deserved more, I deserved more, we all deserved more.
Words matter, people matter, partners matter, brand supporters matter, investors matter, retailers matter, and it's in everyones best interest to be manly enough to come say:
"This was not correct. Sorry Sensei, we can do better, we will, in memory and in respect of your life's work which will endure and inspire many future generations to come."
I HAVE A DREAM... and GREEN AQUA is surelly on it, untill we're all grey and old! Stay strong guys! Ámen.
absolutely brilliant. I understand you guys are pros, but not everyone can blow that money but still love to do aquascaping. any videos on a low budget would be nice not just 1.
Thanks for the suggestion, will think of something.
That's a really beautiful "simple" scape haha.. can't wait for the plants to mature. For me I always put small floating plants like amazon frog bit or Salvinia sp. if I started with viewer plants to help absorb excess nutrient and diffuse the light a little for a month or two. But stay away from duckweed or Azolla sp. if possible. They're really hard to remove completely from the tank.
Thanks for your feedback. Appreciate that! Good tips to start slow and stay on the safe side!
👌👏♥️
Thank you 😋😊👍
simply the best aquascaping gallery of the world congratulations , a question that value of gh has the aquarium greetings and thank you to follow if
Thank you for your words Carlos! 👍😀
We use only RO water. So GH is very low. But honestly, we never measure it. We use TDS pen to check the minerals, but other than that just going on the soft way 😀
Guys awesome video, pls mane a how fertilize an acuarios we need it
We're using ADA Brighty K, ADA Brighty Mineral and will dose some Brighty Iron daily here.
Great video and a good explanation for the plants!! If possible show us the progress after 30 days :)
Thank you, will do 😊👍
This is how it looks after 2 weeks: flic.kr/p/2cCvXNP
Again amazing!!!
Did you glue the plants on wood?
We're waiting for progress pictures.
Thank you Gray! 👍 We only glued the Riccardia moss. All other just fitted by hand in between the branches.
The tank looks very nice. Just uploaded a few photos to our flickr page. Check the high res front photo here:
flic.kr/p/29CU9Z5
Another impressive video, many thanks for that! Again, I've had the chance to get acquainted with some great plants to use in my tank.
Question 1: What will you do when the wood will start to develop the white molds/mucus on its surface? (I usually remove the wood and blow it with shower - this looks impossible with all the rocks attached). It is supposed to go away in 2-3 weeks, but I still experience this after 1.5-2 months.
Question 2: As far as your experience goes: does Eleocharis acicularis demand CO2 / stabile level of CO2? In my tank I am using a yeast-based CO2 system (NEO2), but this is the one and only plant (Tropica) I am struggling with heavily, it develops BBA-like algea / surface on the "grass" (but it is not bba as I am able to remove them with my hands). Monte Carlo develops nicely (despite the fact it also has some blackish spot), Sessiliflora grows like hell, Alternanthera reineckii mini is "middling" (some say because of too much Fe in GA Micro).
This particular tank of mine is 50l, driven by one Hydor Prime 10 AND one Hydor Prime 20 filters (all in all 300+600=900l/h output), light is ADA Aquasky LED, CO2 is NEO yeast-based system (to be replaced with high-pressure CO2 system soon), 50% of water is replaced weekly with 70%distilles water (Auchan :)) and 30% tap water (Bp District XIII), ferts used are Seachem Excel and GA Micro and GA Macro in ratio of 2mls:3mls (macro increase worked well for my Alternanthera). Livestock is not a heavy load to the aqua: 8 Hemigrammus bleheri and 7 TANICHTHYS ALBONUBES.
Any idea is highly welcome to get rid of this Eleocharis acicularis issue. :)
Question 3: Are there any plans that the ladies will feature the next videos? :) Not that I have anything against you boys, but I liked it a lot when the ladies also showed up. :D
Thanks for your words!
Q1: Throw in some snails, algae eaters, fishes they eat it. Hopefully, the wood was aquarium friendly
Q2: Acicularis cna grow without that, but the best appearance will be with stable CO2. Pushing a little more and you will be full with hair algae for example.
If you can manage it invest in a good pressurized system next. Makes miracle!
Sometimes only a heavy trimming helps on eleocharis species as the quickest solution. But better to have plenty of algae eaters, also need to use gravel cleaners to remove the debris timely.
Q3: Who knows what brings the future? :)
Thanks for all your answers, I appreciate it! :)
Congrats both for this project and explanation as well, very skilled guys! But none of the thousands aquascape' videos on YT, talks about "expenses". Though you probably may have specific resources to purchase from, could you say the range of expenses for this nice tank (excluding glasses/hardware/tools etc) ?
Thank you Alberto. Well almost all equipment listed under the video which you can check on our website if you're looking for the price. But the goal here is to demonstrate it easily. You can do that with many other equipment too, or you can DIY some parts if you're low on budget.
Класс!
Thank you 👍
love the series and the video, thx for the inspiration. I'm really curious, why you'd say it's not a competition tank? I'm not too familiar with competitions but this tank looks amazing
Thank you for your words and feedback. 👍😊 When we do build something for the contest, that takes up a lot of time and effort. Long planning, hardscaping, more detailed planting and very intensive maintenance with targets/goals. This needs a very different approach.
This also will be beautiful, and we will do many photos on it, but because of the rush work, this would not rank high on most of the contests.
ah that's great info! I"m sure besides myself or anyone else, they would love this masterpiece in their living room. 15/10 for sure in my books!
Thank you, it means a lot to us 😊
I did one tank 2 month ago after watching you guys, James, find out about Mr. Amano, George, Felipe, etc. However, is very hard to find plants here in Australia. Do you guys know if aquaflora or tropica are planning to hit the market here any sooner? Thanks a lot!
Hi André, some countries has hard regulations for import like Australia. This is why these companies having hard times to enter there. Not sure about availability, but please feel free to reach them out for a help or local partners.
Awesome layout! I really love it! Any update to to see the evolution?
Yepp, we had a couple of updates on this, the last one was the first video of the year, the cinematic one.
Hi, thanks for video. Super awesome great fckn nature. Just 1 question... After completion the tank, saw you guys put stone on top of driftwood. Why? Its temporary until driftwood stable/ submerged or will be permanent there's?
Wood not soaked in the water for weeks tends to float up. We weight them down until they soak in enough water to stay down. We always remove these stones in about 3 weeks after the setup. Cheers. 👍🏻
which filter u r using ?
Hi, why don't your woods float when you put water in?
I love this channel so much!! Amazing work in every video.
This inspired me to get started on my first tank. Everything is looking great so far, no livestock yet.
My rotala wallichii is growing beautifully, now im reading about SAEs eating Rotala wallichii.... :(
In your experience, is it ok to have Rotala wallichii with Siamese algae eaters?
SAE do not eat plants - they only eat algae and plant remains that are decaying. (Even if it looks healthy for the human eye.) What you read is a common misconception. BTW algae usually appears around 1 month into the tank's life, but if you happen to have it you'll overcome it easily if you follow the rules. Also check out our algae guide video - to be prepared for the worst. 💡😂😇
@@GreenAquaShop Thanks for the response and info. I am ready for the battle against algae, my weapon of choice is Green Aqua
😇🙏🏻👍🏻
I need that shirt!
We will do a new series shortly as our limited batch is out. May will put up a voting for that here on UA-cam what would you like to see :)
Hello , your videos are awesome and very informative for all of us! Could you please answer me two questions that i believe will help others too ? First of all, how do you deal with frodo stones and water hardness? i like this stone so much but i havent tried it yet. And i see seachem purigen into your filter! Isnt this suppose to decrease no3 up to zero? How do you deal with zero no3 and plants?!
Thank you very much for your attention! Keep on this amazing work!
Thanks for your comment! Here you go!
1. Frodo stone is not changing your water parameters. Maybe in the first few weeks, but after that not really. Love it!
2. Purigen does not remove NO3. There are different kind of filters which does. But Purigen is plants friendly. We used it with EI and now using with the ADA fertilizers too. 4 times more than the factory recommendation. Amazing result. We have it in every of our filters to provide these crystal clear look.
Wow..super fast answer!
Thank you very much, if its only for few weeks i should try it because the stone is so nice!
I know that purigen makes the water crystal clear but i thought that it absorbs no3 also ! I will include it at my next scape too!
Thank you for everything!
You're welcome. Check out the Seachem support from the past on the absorbing questions.

Hey Viktor, I was thinking that Hygrophila 'Araguaia' is another plant that has a purple color right? What do you think? Maybe is a good choice 😝
Yup we love that plant. However, we may only add in some Rotala Orange Juice by now. Will see :)
Seachem Jolt??? I need that coffee mug!
We need to have a giveaway for these kind of swags too!
Green Aqua Well, when I win your current giveaway, feel free to send one! 😎🐠💚
Noted Greg 😀Fingers crossed!
if i have 4ft tank
how much substrate must i use?im gonna use tropical amazonia Ada
but for power sand and fertilizer i dont have such experince..please help me
Well mufari92, sorry about that but we can only quickly help you with the metric system calculations. What we do is we take the base measurements of the aquarium, say 120 x 45 cm. If you multiply that you get 5400. You divide that by 100 and you get 5.4 liters of Base Layer Fertilizing substrate - provided that you want an even 1 cm of it everywhere in the tank. The same goes for the clay-based General Plant Substrate, with the only difference that you will have to multiply that by 4 to get a minimum thickness of 4 cm across the tank. If you want to build up the substrate to say 12 cm at the back, you need to multiply that by 8, etc.
@@GreenAquaShop ohh..i see..i see...thank for the info...really help🙂 but if i have power sand..do i need to use it together with pwr sand like bacter 100,clear super and other stuff??
Yup additives helps with the roots.
What, no Ludwigia Arcuata? Though knowing you guys it will be very red rather than orange. Rotala Nanjenshan would have been another option. Keep them coming! This looks fab, though I do miss the old scape 🤔
Thanks David, yup we may add in some other plants too to refine the colors later. Do not miss the other. Had great times, but this one will looks super cool too after 4-8 weeks. 👍😀
hope u upload the evolution of the tank i think all we want to see that rotalas colors. im watching from Argentina, all over across the world !
Cheers Alberto! Sure will have updates later on. Colors will be nice! And we may add in some other orange plants too along the way. 👍😀
proserpinaca palutris has a really nice orange but i think the leaves are too big. im in love with r. h'ra but here in argentina tropica doesent exist
Hello , how did you make all of those branches not to float ? Did you soak them or you used any other technique ?
It is difficult to soak the wood and then have the time to build hardscape before it dries .
We do not soak any wood here. Wight it down, tie, glue whatever works in the current situation. 👍😀
Green Aqua interesting but weird I can't understand how you can glue wood that is on soil without something near like a stone !
If you can't do it for some reason, put a stone on the wood and weight it down for 2 or 3 weeks til the tank is running. We usually go on that way.
Have you guys used anything to tie Anubias plants?
Nope, just fitted in between the roots by hand.
Boy's a little mistake has occurred in specification from 11:36 the cabinet can not be 120x45x45 ;) . Nice scape and good job with planting, that's the most time consuming part. Just waiting for plant's growth (with you max 2-3 weeks ).
Good work.
Wish you all the best.
Good catch my friend! So who is responsible for this? I want names now! 😂😀😋
Thanks for your feedback, appreciate that! 👍
Do not look at me! I have never been at you pleace just yet, but do not worry, the day will come. ;)
MOTHER FCKIN NATURE!!!!
Word Candyfloss! Badass! 😎
Two Thoughts. Nice Shirt. :) and how do you treat/control Tannins?
Thank you, we're using Seachem Purigen in our filters. 100ml/100L aquarium water. This helps a lot.
Thank you! Actually been reading about it and contemplating the use of it. For now I have been using Carbon and feel like it is an outdated method which works real well, but si a bit annoying as it is not a renewable source. I like the idea of Purigen. How long does it last you between cleaning/recharging?
Carbon is a one time shot. Purigen can be recharged like 8 times? That mean years with 3-4 months charging.
