A NEW BEGINNING FOR DAVE CHOW'S AQUASCAPE - TAKING APART A PLANTED TANK

[@LukaszTiiger]

A very bold move, but that's why I love your channel. In about 2-3 weeks I starts with my new 120cm aquarium. Watching you I have more and more ideas for appearance. Thanks!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Mission accomplished then on our side Łukasz! Cheers!

[@williamannelli3684]

It is so much fun watching other people work. I have broken down my tank many times. What a mess, but the results are rewarding. Love your channel.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yepp, then you understand the feeling. Good luck with the future scapes, and thanks for following us! Cheers.

[@A.76-v4z]

Really loved dave chow's tank

Im so glad you replied, i really enjoy your videos please dont stop keep making new one dont stop inspiring good luck

[@GreenAquaShop]

Haha. No one can't stop us. ;)

[@jcss1989]

It is very exciting to think about all that can happen with that tank in your hands guys. These videos make me feel happy.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Glad you like our works, mission accomplished! Cheers.

[@phoizrahman3086]

This was my favorite favorite tank. Thank you Dave chow.

[@GreenAquaShop]

It was one of the best tanks at the Green Aqua Gallery.

[@istifusti1435]

Ez egy csodás akvárium volt várom az ujjat sok sikert hozzá🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@GreenAquaShop]

Igen, nagyon szerettük Dave akváriumát mi is! Köszi!

[@meghavisingh658]

Yes it's an emotional moment. But as you and Dave rightly said there is always a new beginning to a beautiful end. Dave Chow's tank was awesome but I know you will build one more beautiful tank for all of us.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks for understanding the message, you are great! Cheers.

[@siapa8904]

For me 6 - 8 months is the period to rescape. Longer than 8 makes the old tank "boring". So rescape is the only way for my adult tanks. Appreciate the effort to rescue those fishes and shrimp, so mission accomplish for "no animal were harmed in the making of this video". Great work.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, that is a very important part of the rescape! You must be a very good scaper by now then.

[@yimkimann1164]

So excited for watching your team @ green aqua ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks for the support! Not five stars? LOL

[@AquaGardenAquariums]

Dave Chows' words are so wise!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yepp, he is a very wise Master. Hope to be able to invite him over for another Workshop next year.

[@xXCerpicoXx]

I would have liked to see this tank in person... this was the tank that really set everything in motion for me to create my first aquascape. It is a sad day but also an exciting day to see the new creation that will be built in its place!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Well, when you finally visit us, you'll be happy to see all the scapes in one place, and we're going to invite Dave back for another session for sure!

[@aqua.marine7971]

Awwww I love Dave chow’s tank. It soooooo epic

[@shreyasghosh9260]

Adding dolphins and clownfish in the end really made me think for the first ever marine scape at Green Aqua 🤔😄

[@GreenAquaShop]

We had a nano marine tank before, but we're freswater plant scape guys mainly.

[@definitelynotyuribezmenov7611]

Marine tanks are pretty high maintainence and corals are slow.

[@eddie7763]

this video was exactly at the right time i am gonna rescape on sunday and wasn't sure how i would tear down the tank

[@GreenAquaShop]

Good luck with the rescape!

[@samueluwl2952]

Mr. Balazs, youre such a little happy kid hahaha. Loved the video and the koi pond is still a dream, very excited to see whats coming up!!

[@GreenAquaShop]

I love those koi!

[@luiswicho5301]

Yeah, Mr. Chow is right. I want to improve my skills to do aquascaping, so I'm planning to build a 45P. I've been watching your kitchen tank. The setup, maintenance,etc. Thanks a lot. Cheers Balazs!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Cheers Luis, yeah Dave is very inspiring! I love his way of thinking.

[@saradc9269]

Uohh! that's the cleanest pond i´ve seen in my live! i'm excited to see the new project!, I love your videos guys!

I know Sara, right? I love how clean the water is.

[@mandyminshull2351]

Can’t wait to see what you scape in it’s place. It is sad to see a great scape taken down, but we must always look to new beginnings

Exactly Mandy, my feelings exactly.

Looking forward to the new setup. I now have the habit of imagine how a natural landscape pic I saw will look like in a tank. Result of watching many of Green Aqua videos.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, that is the start of the creative process. Will talk about that in one of the future videos!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks for the idea! Cheers!

[@sofishticated289]

Limited space is always a pity. That is why I am going to start the rescape of my new house on Monday and add a third level on top ;) I loved the idea that you were planing an area just like in an art gallery where you exhibit the aqua scapes of the "grand masters of aqua scaping". That would have been unique in the world and no where else to find. Anyway I am looking forward to your next video!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, a fish-room is a good thing to have! Good luck with that house-rescape. Don't forget that the multiple-tank-syndrome comes with a lot of maintenance though. LOL.

A new beginning is a fresh start and I can’t wait to see the plans for this setup. I’m sure it will spectacular!

[@Maidenhair]

So interesting to see a different side to aquascaping! Two questions: 1- at 12:39 what are you using to suction up the debris from the bottom? I looks like you might be somehow using the Eheim pump?? 2- What is safe to use to clean the inside glass when all done? I received a used tank from a friend but it has hard water staining on the inside and I'm having a hard time getting it clean with fish-safe methods. Much appreciate your help. You are my favorite channel!

[@GreenAquaShop]

1- Gravity! 2- You can clean the glass with whatever you want, if you rinse it afterwards.

LOVE how you included Dave’s goodbye clip! ♥️ BIG correction though: 1st Step) find good a good extra set of helping hands or pull your hair out 😫😅 ...but seriously I don’t think two hands would be enough for this to be possible; even difficult on a smaller tank.

[@GreenAquaShop]

LOL, that is very true!

the tank was so nice that I made mine very much inspired on it.

Come and see us when this craziness is over, I love to chat about the pond, and the koi are getting more beautiful by the day.

[@iGregM]

I was there today and completely missed the pond (my bad) but the water looks crispy clean in there! Amazing. Love the idea of going biotope with the water parameters for the koi :) And the tank that comes after the destruction will be amazing 🤐🤫

lol 1:51. This reminded me of a weird recurring dream I get where I come across a neglected tank that I had forgot about. Either in a room I seldom visit or a closet or something. When I look in I'm amazed that there's life in there but the creatures are strange and deformed with jagged teeth. Like some deep sea creatures you know. That's usually it. I remember being too afraid to get near it. Maybe I have too many tanks haha! Don't mean to freak everybody out but what other group of people would get it! lol 😅

I usually reuse amount of old soil which mix with new soil, for my new project since I believe that the old soils have amount of specific bacteria so it will make the water of my new tank cleaned rapidly as well as ajusting PH more stable at beginning. That is my experience, and I happy to share it with all you guys 😁

Yes, that is a good idea generally, to use some old soil at the bottom, we don't usually do that though. For convenience mostly. But many pro aquascapers do.

Thank you Balazs! It will be hard to top that setup but I'm sure you're up to it. In my experience, by the time I've decided to change a setup I'm quite sick of the old one, and not sad to see it go, as I'm always excited by what kind of world I can create next! Question: why do you use trays for the plants you remove instead of a plastic tote with a lid? Wouldn't that stop them from drying out? Note: I always use the waste water from quarter changes on our house plants or on our vegetable garden. It makes terrestrial plants boom!
