Building A Small SHALLOW Planted Aquarium - A LOW TECH Nano Aquascape

Tommy works his magic on this simple low-tech shallow planted tank of just 30 liters (7.7 gals). We love the small aquascapes with open tops, so you can enjoy the view of the underwater world from above and let some beautiful aquatic plants grow out and even flower freely.

We love these shallow aquariums! Mostly building them with pendant lights, but looks good with this one as well!

[@krasimirstankov8570]

Hey there i have a question. Isnt this lighting way too strong for the anubiases right under? Cheers.

[@dafezza]

I got rid off all my normal tanks and got almost only shallows at the moment😂

[@Mr.Laidukas]

First seconds in the video and that groovy euphoric music with Tommy is just instant like share and subscribe. Though I personaly long time subscribed but the emotion is just through the roof :)

[@dennisvanopstal7360]

I would have used one like Eheim PowerLED Spot, a model like that. But its a great scape

[@michaelradzi4305]

Guys, one video per week its definitely not enough for us :-) . WE NEED MORE ;-) WE NEED MORE GREEN AQUA

[@AquaPeet]

Tommy!! I'm impressed by your achievement in presentation skills! So natural, not monotone, very easy to the ears! Thank you for your effort of making this video and love to see more! :)

[@leoantonio]

The music is NOT easy on the ears. 😫

[@kevinchuang6538]

“Gonna be a relatively budget build “ * anubias pinto *

[@AnNguyen-mf2cz]

Tommy: I will try to keep it low cost Also Tommy: Some Nana Pinto

[@KenLe1998]

EU price $6 for a rare bucephalandra, cheap asf

[@adrianvelasco1265]

I laughed so hard at this thank you

[@andreagalda28]

Made me laugh so hard. Those plants cost a fortune if you can even find them! Not to mention they come so tiny... the size of a penny!

[@JordanTait95]

I like seeing Tommy doing budget style scapes👌

[@hendrikwirtz8418]

Those shallow tanks have a Paludarium vibe which is great. Looks beautiful

[@newmexicoaquatics282]

Thank you for the low tech tanks! Keep on scaping! - Little Bobby

[@GreenAquaShop]

Cheers Bobby. :)

[@nlim001]

Omg omg omg Orsi video next week!!! You guys listened! 😍

[@varphotography]

As always fantastic tank Tommy. You are such a natural at these aquascapes. Love it :D

[@williamminh3361]

yessss finally its shallow tanks time ! pls make another one but let Blaz do so he can "borrow" others tank plant and go all in budget XD p/s : did they hire Corpse to do the narrator at the end of the vid :D

[@terrywilliams5810]

Hi Tommy, congratulations on your first shallow tank build. I think it worked out very nicely. I also like the choice of the Colorado sand , obviously not as bright as the plata sand. Great video as always. I hope you and all the staff are keeping well. Thank you

[@wigglewiggle3789]

Awesome scape and awesome tshirt. Daffy man myself. Take care.

[@millennialseeker7639]

HI, Tommy! I really want to thank you for this video. It was just perfect. All of my questions were answered completely in the description. Did I mention that is was a pleasure to watch you work? Thanks so much!

[@styderman1]

I prefer the improv with Tommy!

[@9446253035]

Thanks for video.Nice shallow tank .

[@jeanbovigny8593]

Really beautiful

[@greenaquascaping9491]

10:25 glue the light to the wood 😂😂😂

[@ttw369369]

Look nice after completion 👍

[@williamannelli3684]

4-15-21, Tamas that is a beautiful tank. Wood and plants really go together. Very nice, Thanks I am glad Balazs missed the build he is a show off.

[@tanpec]

@Tommy: don’t be so hard on you, this tank is stunning! I really love it 👍🏻😍

[@GreenAquaShop]

You're very kind, thanks. :)

[@MrCarson66]

Fantastic !

[@Iwinhaha2k]

Art… my favorite channel on youtube by far. I wish we had shops like this in the US

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks so much for the support, glad you appreciate our production effort - and our tanks!

[@monaangela4667]

Congrats " Bugs Bunny " cool shirt, 😊😍 the little tank looks so awesome.👌👌 Thanks for the great video. 🙏 By the way are you ok Tomi? You looked a little bit tense....🤔 Wish you guys a wonderful weekend.

[@nunopinto1360]

beautiful 👍

[@MehHalfhearted]

Holy crap that utricularia looks amazing in its emersed form! Thank you so very much for showing me that.

[@sajithcc7786]

Looks really good👍👍

[@chelmsford6774]

Love the low tank build Tommy. Thanks for a new plant suggestion Utricularia, looks great.

[@Michaelyauw]

Yeahh... Tommy . Thanks for video 🙏

[@jeancharlesprunier2442]

hello to all of you I saw you using A version 2 chichiros when thinking you were going on like this you are a great chain we took a lot of salvation to all of you at the next video 👍👋🇫🇷

[@tompage8674]

Amazing timing guys. I have literally JUST bought a second hand ADA 75f that I found on FB Marketplace. This is going to be great for inspiration!

[@jonasdamien1762]

I have tried the method in the past to glue wood to glass with super glue and cotton wool. In the beginning it will look solid, but once the superglue has been fully cured, it will be relatively easy to remove it from the glass. It is better to fix extra with silicone and to camouflage the silicone with wood filings. Again another great scape!

[@matthijs4434]

I would love to see GreenAqua build a hillstream biotope with custom tank, using a hidden compartment in the tank to circulate water and create laminar flow. Germany's Panta Rhei actually uses this system on all their tanks, I believe. I am currently in the process of creating a tank like this myself, too.

[@dasfabelwesen]

This looks like a textbook aquarium

[@aquariumplantman]

Good job Tommy, looking forward to the emerse plants flowering. 🌿

[@ranjuislam77]

Great Tommy! You always rock! Want to see more shallow aqua scaping.

[@radtankfish9212]

Tommy done a great job specially considering it’s a low tech tank..

[@lagoonaquascape9430]

Cool shallow tank! Looking forward to see the plants growing outside the water!

[@bishbashash5319]

You can fit a heater in those oase filtosmart 60s if you get the conversion kit from the bigger models and a slightly shorter heater

[@pascalperdu4342]

Well done good job. The only trouble is the light above

[@darrenderousse4804]

Beautiful scape Tommy as always! I really want to try this style one day! Can’t wait to see it fully mature and flowering! It’s nice to see the pros struggling with equipment too haha! Thanks for always inspiring! 🙏

[@ssv6545]

It turned out great! Very unusual and not expensive. But I'm waiting for a continuation with a 600 liter aquarium

[@karlmay4717]

You make planting look so easy - i'm jealous! Beautiful tank as always guys - keep up the great work 👍

[@SteveHinrichs]

A couple of my aquariums had submersed plants which grew emersed. They are a couple of my favorite tanks. I love that look. Great video, looks amazing. You must love your job. Setting up new tanks are so fun.
