Freshwater ‘CORAL REEF’ in a 45H Planted Tank

Believe it or not, this relatively small planted tank holds almost as much water as a 60P aquarium. Well, of course, it's not as wide but way taller than its "rival" in the ~60-liter category. Balazs takes advantage of this tallness and builds a lovely island full of life. It's almost like a freshwater coral reef. Isn't it?

I've always been intrigued by H tank format. They look so much larger because of the extra height. But it seems like they come with extra challenge for composition and maintenance.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yes, I love that format too. And if you build it nicely, the maintenance is not a problem, but yeah, more difficult to build.

This video is really a homerun for me. I love the scape You use the Pipe set i bought from Green Aqua a while back. And you have my favorite Asian schooling fish The Pentazona Barb in here. A fish you dont see enough in the Aquascaping hobby It stays low which fits many scapes. Great video!

How about a riverbank aquascape with big round stones with bits of dwarf sag on one side then plain sand on the other ... I want to see how my favourite aquarium channel will pull that off

Hi from Turkey It was a pleasant video and it was very enjoyable to watch while sipping my morning tea. I want to tell you a little tip about the technique I use myself. The fiber pieces we use in the filter instead of napkins will help it to be more durable.

[@Saneabhijit]

Another Masterpiece 👍🏼

[@GreenAquaShop]

Cheers, glad you like the end result.

[@AquaBenyStyle]

Like a simple matter, such an arrangement, but how much work to do 👍🙂 The only thing I would add are small rocks on the lower right part to close the gap. We will then obtain the effect of a closed rock and it will give a better visualization. Greetings to the Green Aqua team.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, it was way too much work. LOL. You might be right about the lower right... Cheers.

[@nanoreaper5002]

[@alwalsted]

I am waiting on plants for my first real aquascaped aquarium. The tank is 75x30x45 tall. I bought the WRGB2 but, was still slightly concerned that the light reaching the bottom wouldn't be enough. But it you used the same light here so I am not as concerned anymore. I am always impressed by the work you all do, from setup to maintenance before you take the final cinematic shots. I appreciate the attention to detail and "do it right, or don't do it at all" approach that you bring to your craft.

[@GreenAquaShop]

That is a pretty strong light, you'll be fine! Cheers, thx for the support.

[@jeevandewee]

I like it allot!

[@GreenAquaShop]

[@williamwescott4213]

Another advantage of the stainless steel tubes is that the one that squirts into the tank can be rotated instead of always shooting the water out straight.

[@omerkaraahmet197]

Can you set up a new aquarium and record a series showing how it grows at every moment, what problems you have to deal with ( Such as fighting algae, nutrient deficiencies and solving the problem by fertilizing the plants.), their maintenance and the result? Maybe you can use time lapse video so we can see more clearly how they are growing? Sounds great doesn't it? I'm sure Balasz will love it.😂

[@rtscielak8788]

Yeah. I would know how to fertiliser new tank with most epifity plants. How methods You used guys.. EI or what? Use only ADA products? How about water? Only RO? It's good thing to make this video. I have always problem with algae on start..

Love the video and the result, interested to learn more about the super glue and was it kitchen roll technique that you used? Am I correct in thinking that you soak the kitchen roll in glue and ball it together and put between rocks to stick together? Would the kitchen roll not disintegrate and make a mess or am I miss understanding? All the best!
