It's strange, even before know the golden ratio, my eyes naturally set scapes up in this way as it's the way we see nature without even thinking about it. Great video guys :)
Yup for many people this comes naturally. Others having a hard time to see these layouts with a photographic eye. For them, it may be helpful in some way. 👍
@@GreenAquaShop oh yeah for sure. Certainly wasn't taking anything away from this very informative video
😊 👍
O snap MD!!! Lol
@@GreenAquaShop when you invite MD to hungary? Balazs with MD would be hilarious. Yeah... i know that that conversation was year ago, but still...
Im a newbie to this hobby and im so grateful for green aqua. All these videos feel like a free workshop webinar to me
Glad you enjoy these 👍
How's your tanks these days?
@@multipletanksyndrome hi thank you for asking! It's going pretty well now i guess. Im a student in a dorm, after just half a year i gave up having the perfect aesthetics & techs 😂 my betta died few months ago and now i just keep lots of cherry shrimps in a 5 gal tank with a forest of easy plants and some pothos & peace lily in the hob filter. Far from my expectation in the beginning but it's a healthy tank :))
@@chikihc Sorry to hear about your fish. I'm sure you're learning. When you graduate, I hope you have space for a bigger tank.
You know Balazs. That sci-fi tank you showed has really stuck in my brain. Saw it a few years ago and created a tank similar. I didn’t know it was your tank. But I love it
Love that you showed us the golden ratio! Thank you so much for you informative and valuable videos!
You're welcome, glad you found this useful. Good luck with your scapes, and please stay tuned for more from us. Cheers. 🙏🏻👍🏻
Couple minutes ago i thinking about rescape, and BAM!! Ur notification bell ringing about hardscape layout. Its the right time hahah thanks dude 🍻
So it came in timely. Enjoy and hope to get you some inspiration, good luck with your scape! 👍🏻
Brilliant tutorial with in depth explainations, love the hardscapes layouts in this video! I must admit I screamed a little in the inside when you take apart such gorgeous hardscape to move on to the next one, hahaha
I know what you mean bro, but the hardscape is here in the video for you guys to see and maybe get inspired from it, so its mission is fulfilled. 😊
Again, an awesome instructive video, I become addicted!!
Great job by the way in every aspect of your presentations, everything is clear, clean and instructive: Love it!
Cheers, thanks for the kind comment, glad you found this useful.
Great video for beginners like myself! So much information on the process and design! I have just did my first aquascape tank and I have followed advice, ideas from u and the other greats in aquascaping! I have to say I am very happy and pleased with how mine turned out! So a big thank you for guiding me thru the aquascaping process over the months! I will continue to follow and learn more and more as I continue in this awesome field! Thank you!
I could not wish for more positive feedback really! To have you being happy with your own creation after watching our videos - that's the ultimate goal I have - thanks for that. Best thing, really.

I was about to scape my first 2 nano tanks today. Had some ideas how to start but this video opened up new perspective and thanks to you i know how my nano would look like :D
This is great, mission accomplished then! Good luck with your nanos, I'm sure they will look great. Cheers. 👍

The moment I heard the intro, I I paused the video to like and subscribe immediately. This guy is so professional.
Welcome to the channel, thanks for the support! Cheers!
This is the best tutorial I've seen on UA-cam. I've studied this video. Thanks!
You're welcome and thanks for the support. Cheers 👍
WOW WOW WOW What a great video. It is so practical for those of us who are in the research and learn phase of beginning aquascaping. Being a visual learner, the use of the Golden Ratio graphic is huge !!!!! Thank you so much for doing this. You have a gift for teaching.
Thanks so much, glad you think that. We're doing our best to be able to do deliver quality contents for you guys. Stay tuned.
They look so sophisticated at first, now I'm excited to start own aquascape from your guide!! Thank you!!
Good luck with your scape and pls stay tuned for more info and entertainment from us.
You are the Bob Ross of aquarium scapes. Beautiful work. Thank you for another informative video.
You are welcome, thanks for the support!
Very informative video. It really changed my perspective of how an aquarium should be built up. I love the golden ratio theory - it resembles that for taking photos. 👍
It not only resembles, but it's totally something that comes from photography and fine arts. Really glad that you had a revelation here, good luck with building your new tank with that idea in mind. Cheers.
Wow!!! Beautiful. Make it look so easy!
Glad you found it useful!
Just subscribed and liked this video. Please make more of this kind of tutorial. I am really liking this hobby and more and more getting involved.
Thanks for the support, you are great! Glad you like what we do, we'll certainly do more for you guys.
Amazing tutorial! Thanks for this video! I'm going to build an aquarium next month, and I'm going to use these tips
Really glad for that, mission accomplished. Good luck with your tank, I'm sure it will be nice. Cheers.
Great info. Thank you for sharing! Keep on scaping!
You're welcome. We will mate, thanks for watching! 🙏🏻👍🏻
Great tips! I see this is going to get addictive. I already want to do another one!
Gogogo, the more you do it, the better you'll get at it.
This is the tutorial I been looking to learn how to aquascape. Thanks
You are welcome, glad you liked it.
I love the methodology you use in your scapes. Always so appealing.
Thanks, glad you found it useful, hope to have been able to give you some useful insights. Cheers. 🙏👍
I am about to create my first aquascape and this video is extremely helpful. Thank you so much!
You are welcome, and good luck with your tank(s)! I'm sure you'll make better and better scapes with time. Welcome to this hobby and stay tuned for more info and inspiration from us.
The golden section method is the best idea to design a natural aquarium !!! Thank you for the video!!!
Glad you find this useful, you're welcome, thanks for watching!
I've watched quite a few vids on scaping now and this is the first one i have watched through to the end. Not only is it informative but also a) you speak clearly; b) you do not speak in monotone and c) you are not patronising. Thanks for a great video.
You are welcome, glad you like the style. Cheers.
@@GreenAquaShop Quick questions: I am looking for a bigger aquarium. Currently have 60l but fish and prawns have been breeding and it is going to be overcrowded. I am looking for around 190l/200l. Due to size, the location in my house may have to be a corner. I have not seen any aquascaping from you guys for corner aquariums. Is this not recommended? or too hard?
I am looking at either a Juwel lido or if in the corner, Juwel trigon. I see you do not sell Juwel on your website. Is this because you do not think the Juwel brand is good? Is it ok to scape with units with a closed top and inbuilt LED lights?
thanks!
Best tutorial for beginners like me. Looking forward for more videos!
Love to hear you like the vid. We will do more like this in the future for sure. 👍
oh that quality education right there! thanks for sharing your knowledge! loving the informative vids bro!
Thanks Shawn, glad you like our educational style. 😂😇You're great bro.
Great work Balazs! Fun video 😁👍👍👍
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Welcome to the beautiful world of aquascaping! I love aquascaping
Cheers, we have that in common. Thx for watching. 🙏👍
Wow! Excellent. While your store displays are amazing, this adds so much hope on how to get there. Thank you so much for all the help(and the humor you add included)!
Yeah, the workshops show usually the whole process, but there's not much time to detail the hardscape building process, and this video is exactly that. Glad you found it useful, stay tuned for more from us. 👍🏻
Great Video! This was very helpful
Cheers!
Amazing Video, with a lot of examples and "wrong" examples, very helpful!
Yeah, wrong examples are important too!
Great video, lots of useful information. Thank you
Thanks Richard, glad you found it useful. Cheers.👍🏻
Excellent video!! Very informative and helpful video especially for newbies.
Glad you found this helpful, stay tuned, cheers! 🙏🏻👍🏻
"Dobrotka Norbert - Spikes of the Dragon" it's fantastic! I love it...
👍🏻
Wow, great tips. Just starting to design my first tank !. I like your presentation .
Glad you found this useful, thanks for watching.
Excellent! Green Aqua Rules. I've learned a great amount and have grown enormous inspiration from watching your entertaining, helpful and informative, top quality videos. Thank you very much, and much appreciation for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience. Keep it coming!
Thanks for the support Ron, glad you like our videos. Will do our best to continue providing you guys quality info and entertainment. Cheers.
Thanks for adding value in my little knowledge of Aquascaping 🙏👍
It will grow with time for sure, if you're interested. You are welcome, and stay Tubed! Cheers.
Another amazing video and so informative and entertaining! Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
This video is so good! Full of useful information. Greetings from Poland 💕🦐💕
This video is definitely a great start point for all of us amateurs! Great info here keep it on!
We're glad you like it. Cheers 😄
Very useful video! I can't wait for the hard scape I ordered to show up!! And then making some changes :)
Good luck with your creative game and your new scape! Glad you found this useful, stay tuned for more like this video from us. Cheers.👍🏻
Great information ,very well explained thank you Balazs keep up the awesome work.
Thanks Mikey! Glad you found it useful, mission accomplished!
I needed this video. And the part about mixing rocks and wood was a nice bonus. Aquascaping is turning out to be more complicated than I expected.
All knowledge seems more complicated as you dig deeper. It means you already learned a lot about aquascaping.
Good job, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you Gianluca 😊
It is amazing to learn the tips on how to put rock and wood in the aquarium! Thanks for the excellent tutorial!
You are welcome, glad you found this useful. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers!
Great tutorial Balazs. I'm new to aquascaping and this type of videos from someone with a lot of experience are really helpful. Now I need to think how to achieve the golden ratio with one lava rock and one piece of moor wood. Greetings from Guatemala
I would place them right next to each other - probably - this is just a speculation, on one side of the tank, with their 'weight center' at the golden ratio point. 💡
This guy perfecting in minutes, what I've been struggling with for weeks.
Great tutorial!
Thanks, glad you found it useful. Stay tuned for more from us.🙏🏻👍🏻
Your videos are amazing and informative. Keep up the good work.. 👌🏼
Thanks so much for you feedback, it means a lot to us. 🙏🏻👍🏻
Best tutorial on YT currently.. well done Green Aqua
Good to hear that, thanks for the kind comment!
Very good video. Thank you. I learned so much with this tutorial.
You're welcome, thanks for watching and please stay tuned for more. Glad you liked it. 👍💡
Awesome I was always looking for something like this....Keep up the work and continue to post such videos to enable us on the basics of aquascaping....awesome 👌 again
Will do, thanks so much for the support! Cheers!
Nice video! I really like this one and I've used in my aqua. You guys are amazing! It made all the difference for the layout of my aqua scape. Congratulations for the very good and clear explanation!
Our pleasure!
Thanks Balazs for another fine and relaxing video, learned alot in 15 minutes :D
That's great, glad you found this useful. Good luck with your tank! 👍
What a perspective. You're awesome at this
Cheers, glad you found this useful, thanks for the kind comment.
This is one great explanation video! Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching Martin. 🙏🏻👍🏻
Very nice tutorial! Keep the good job.
Thanks so much, glad you found it useful. Cheers.
Great demo for beginners.... I especially love how you show tank from the side and front. In my opinion its important to get more hardscape than you think you need. And most off all don't rush...... Have fun creating different scapes with the materials you have before finalising
You are absolutely right Matt, thanks for adding these, they are kind of missing from this video. I do the same like you, start with an abundance of hardscape, and return what is not needed, I always encourage people who buy from Green Aqua to do the same. And yeah, spend time on this.
@@GreenAquaShop Thanks for the reply!! I bought a box of mini landscape stone for an 80l tank but used all off it plus 4 pieces of redwood root for a 60l just goes to show..... The more the better!!
Is that like 25 kilos? Yeah, we used 40 kilos in a 60p once. 😎
@@GreenAquaShop im not particularly sure on the weight. The large amount of rocks made it easy to stagger the substrate though. And the redmore's twists and turns made it easier to create a natural pattern to weave between the rocks... My plants have been growing for a few weeks so im excited to add livestock this weekend
Good luck with that tank, make sure to change the water regularly, and hopefully you'll be fine. 👍🏻
Great vid as always
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻👍🏻
The best aqua channel on UA-cam 👌🏼👌🏼
So glad you say that, thanks a lot mate. Cheers. 🙏🏻👍🏻
Been waiting for a vid like this. Bravo! Tremendously helpful!
Wow, Logan Rando himself. It's an honour that you commented, I really like your work on Jurijs' videos. Cheers!
Finally, something about the essence of the GR! I enjoyed it so much, that may I suggest making another video. This was simply too short, as I could watch it for an hour or so.
Thanks Mary, glad you liked this tutorial, yeah, we'd love to have longer videos, but nobody has time nowadays on youtube... Gotta keep it short. 💡
Great video guys 😀👍
Thanks so much, and thanks for watching. 🙏👍
Thank you this helped a lot this gave me many ideas for my 5 gallon
Sounds great, cheers!
Thank you for all the great content. I would love a video that talks about CO2 systems and shows a variety or regulators. It would be cool to see the ADA CO2 systems explained as well.
CO2 topic is really on our list. Will do a new video on it sometimes. Not sure tho we can demonstrate too many regulators. But can talk about the issues on most of them and why to go after a good one even if that is a little more expensive sometimes. 👍 Request noted!
What a brilliant video!
Thanks so much Ingrid, glad you like the setup rules tutorial. Cheers.
Very helpful, abt to start a 10gallon. Thought I knew what I wanted. After watching this video, I'm rethinking all of it. But, thank you really!
That's cool, it's always good to rethink our plans, good ideas come through a self-evaluation - always. It happens to me quite often.
🥰 Loved it!
Thank you 😊
I enjoyed the lessons so much. Thank you.
That's great. Mission accomplished, you're welcome! 😎
The one thing that I wanted
Just keep doing what you doing you always inspire me 🙏
That's so great to hear Paul. Good luck with your tanks, and thanks for watching, stay tuned. Cheers.
Just fantastic... 👏👌👍
Thanks a lot, Jack.
I like your videos. I try to make one planted aquarium now.
Good luck with your tank! Enjoy!
The Golden Ratio was always confusing to me. This was very well explained. Thank you
I was somewhat confused about the GOLDEN RATIO till you broke it down for me. Now I can SEE IT when I look at nature for inspiration!! Wish I could send you a picture of what it was. Lol
LOL. I watch "nature" like that always. :)
Nagyon tanulsagos volt kerem szepen johet a folytatasa is :) szuper minoseg mint mindig :D
Köszönjük szépen, örülünk, hogy tetszett. Igyekszünk majd folytatást is csinálni hozzá. 💡
Another great video, golden ratio is much like the thirds in photography. Basically good composition for the viewer.
I bought a Nano tank and would have filled it with plastic sh.... from the pet shop. Thanks for saving me.
Watching you work, and the finished results are very therapeutic.
Haha, sounds good that we saved you. Good luck with the tank, glad you like our videos.
Personally I have always used the "rule of thirds" method (quick and easy). Its interesting to see the golden ratio method and will try use it as it seems you can create dynamic scapes using this method. Thanks!!
You're welcome, yeah, you are right, it's very dynamic. It has been widely used in photography and cinematography for decades. 💡
Thank you for all the great content.
You are welcome, thanks for the support!
Thanks so much for good advice!
Hope, it was usefull. :)
Thanks for watching us.

Till last night I was not knowing these aqua jargons and thinking of making some random artificial tank setup, thanks to your channel today I got an aquarium and I have started scaping, all planted🤘

Wow! So nice! It was my first lesson in aquascaping. Make more! :)))
Will do! Cheers, thanks!
Love it Balazs, great video. I could hang out and mess around with hardscape all day haha
You're welcome to do that any time you're around Green Aqua. And we'll have a nice chat too.👍🏻
Thank you Balazs. I really apprecciate this video.

Whatever the reason is, thanks for watching 😀
Great advice 👍
Thx!
Great video, thanks!
You are welcome, glad you found this useful.
@@GreenAquaShop :-) It fits me perfect right now. I´m getting a new tank and a lot of equipment on thursday to get started in aquascaping. Have run planted tanks some years ago, but never did scaping. Let the CO2 flow!
Yeah Peter! Good luck with the restart. I'm sure you'll rule the algae. Haha.
Excellent Tutorial sir
Glad you found this useful, thanks for watching.
