AQUARIUM LIGHTING TUTORIAL - PLANTED TANK LIGHTING

[@louel9272]

I really appreciate it that even if your business is aimed at the big consumers/hobbyists you always never fail to add recommendations for the starting hobbyists. Thank you for being generous with your knowledge!

[@jackd5181]

When you said ‘and why are the aquariums beautiful’ I thought you were gonna say ‘because I scaped it’. Haha great video guys

[@GreenAquaShop]

Haha, well, if I would really think that, there would be big problems with my ego, right? 😇🤪

[@jackd5181]

Haha not at all, you guys a great at scraping!

[@ferdialpagu]

Wow man you so funny I shit my pants literally!

[@classychandu5090]

Yeah he missed his chance lol

[@EC-vo6if]

That would have been sooo hilarious! At this point I don't think anyone would take you that serious.

[@tejaswasingh9731]

Yes !!! Filter, co2 and finally light, thanks for all. Please make a separate playlist in your video section of these 3 videos , because they are most basic tips for setting up a planted tank. Congratulations for 100k subscribers 😁

[@GreenAquaShop]

Will definitely do, thanks so much for the suggestion. Algae guide can go in there too. 🙏🏻💡👍🏻

[@tejaswasingh9731]

I think after all the years I have the tank .am quit sure Strip lightning .is still the best out there

[@b.dangerfield6499]

As a cinematographer, I can't tell you how much I appreciated your video... thank you.

[@krisoli1218]

Imagine being able to describe such a complex topic in another language. Serious skills 👏🏻

[@GreenAquaShop]

Cheers Kris, been struggling at the beginning :)

[@drkshanthikanagaraj8899]

Never heard of some explain this topic so detailed. I very much needed this advice. Thank u so much . Love frm a hobbyist in India 🥰

[@capric4545]

“And why are the aquariums beautiful,” because that dude is a pro at scaping

[@capric4545]

Wait a sec.... this is the first time I ever seen a KZbin channel reply back to so many of there viewers, this is a great channel

[@GreenAquaShop]

Haha, you haven't been spoiled have you? 😅 We're trying our best mate. Thanks for your kindness.

[@selwop1]

you know green aqua is committed when they respond to comments from a video 4 months ago lol. super super inspiring, BEST aquascaping shop and KZbin channel

[@GreenAquaShop]

Haha, we use agorapulse, and that does not distinguish between old and new videos, we answer all comments. Until we can keep up... :)

[@callumt9682]

All your tanks look so amazing wish mine look even a small bit like that.

[@GreenAquaShop]

You will step up too as you do more scapes. 👍

[@QuintessentiallyEssential]

The shimmering effect you get with the LED is quite beautiful. It is as if you are scuba diving. Magical!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yepp, shimmering effect is cool!

[@edstaart8548]

Great tutorial again, this one I had some questions how you choose them with your scapes, but you answered them all. Thanks and looking forward to next weeks vid .

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks Ed again, glad you found this useful too. Cheers.

[@Fsuholley]

I don’t think enough praise is given to you for the lighting of your videos. 20+ years in the business is evident. Your videos are lit perfect. What a joy to watch.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks so much, but I know our flaws, especially by having some experience with pro-level lighting. But we're gonna try to make it better and better with time and to develop the video tech too. Fingers crossed.

[@kulcsa2000]

I’ve seen the two empty aquariums in the gallery😉 I’m looking forward for the new projects here on the channel😎

[@GreenAquaShop]

Well spotted! They're coming up in the next weeks, stay tuned! Cheers. 👍🏻

[@nalinwijeweera2921]

These are the best of the best tutorials..i had ever seen about aquascaping..seriously. ..can learn many thing from you...good luck god bless...

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks. :) This is why we here.

[@cannondale97]

A BIG Congrats to you guys for achieving the 100k subscribers mark!! I remembered I was awestruck by all the beautiful scapes in your gallery/shop when George made a video of his first visit to your gallery. I'm so glad you have a channel for people like myself to follow, learn and get inspired. I don't normally comment or even give a “Like” to the videos that i watch on KZbin but Green Aqua and George's channel are the only 2 channels that gets the most (i'm not exaggerating here) “Likes” and comments from me. It is a testament to how much i enjoy watching your videos. You guys are definitely bringing more and more people into this hobby with one good video at a time. Cheers and keep up the excellent work!!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks so much for your kind words, they really mean a lot to us. We appreciate all the positivity that comes from you, keeps us going! Will do our best to earn that attention from you in the future too. Cheers mate.

[@MrYunsi]

I guess you will never read this comment - but this is now my fav channel on youtube. I watched all of the videos twice. Really started my love for aquariums again! I just got another two tanks for my kids and I now care for 4 tanks/week and learn new stuff everyday. After this crazy time is over my plan is to visit your store. Would love to attend a presentation or have a cup of coffee!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Cheers! Didn't you know that we read and reply to all comments?! ;) As long as I can manage. Takes too long though. Thanks for the kind words, glad we inspire you. Hope to have you around for a long time. Let us know if you have any questions or comments.

[@ShawnHineidi]

[@seekthetruth336]

If anyone is having serious algae issues, I highly recommend doing a split timing for your lights. 4 hours on, 2 hours off, 4 hours on.

[@ArtbyMagic]

I like to watch your videos when I need calm and I usually fall asleep. Such nice editing and pro content.

[@AquascapingTV]

What water parameters do you prefer in your aquariums?no3,po4,KH,GH,K,Fe,Ca,Mg,pH? 😃

[@GreenAquaShop]

Well, we've got a separate video for that mate, check it out. Cheers.

[@alis49281]

Ca:Mg:K 2:1:0,5 K shouldn't be too much above 10 mg/L therefore soft-moderate hardness water will yield the best results. Additional fertilization of NO3 and PO4 will be needed for high tech (high light!) tanks with low and very low stock of animals. Example: Tap water is 20 mg/L Ca, then the ideal Mg is 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L K. Weekly or even daily fertilization will yield the best results. An estimate for each nutrient can be done with the method of the Estimative Index. The most precise method is to measure the nutrient consumption with precise drip tests and fertilize daily accordingly.

[@Shadow-xv5gd]

What if you'r leaving the house for one or two days,should i leave the light on or off?? (It is a planted aquarium,with no CO2)

[@GreenAquaShop]

Your lights and Co2 are supposed to be on timer.

[@israelandrade]

Thank you very much, it is very difficult to find videos that good. Many just want to introduce brands and new technologies, it was the first time that I saw a good video talking about T5 lamps! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, you helped a Brazilian and a fan of your channel!

Cheers!

[@MsLila44]

Too much music but awesome content. It keeps getting loud and I don’t like that they’re singing like Backstreet Boys, etc.. just instrumental and more quietly, same volume as your voice so we don’t have to keep turning it down. Sub’d and liked!

Congratulations on bringing you new things like this. The green Aqua channel is a channel that provides a comprehensive knowledge of the really important aquatic environment. These things are a little new experience for Sri Lanka. I kindly request you to kindly help our country to get this technology as well. We have less resources

[@leonelreo]

ADA White LED lights used to have (as long as I remember) 7.500-8.000 k color. That is the reason why they are so strong in the green zone of spectrum. You are getting us used to too much high quality videos, so it's hard to watch other channels. Great job. Thank you.

[@leonelreo]

PD. Aquascaping is great mostly because of the amazing people you find in this world. Like you guys.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks a lot mate, glad you like our format and our style. We're trying our best. Yeah, the white LED ADA lights had higher color temperature indeed. I did not like the yellowish-greenish tint of the old lights though. Good that we have these new ones nowadays.

[@MonoBarrientos]

Excelent like always. I started in the end of the 90's and i prove all the options (tubes,pll,hqi,led etc) and i think you can get excelent even same results with all options, but obviously with modern more efficient options you need less units than before so is more simply . I still love pll and hqi but today finally i accept that LEDs as the most efficient option, they do not need reflectors, thats is an advantage.

Very informative video. All my aquariums have led lights on them, for the simple reason that I forget when to replace tubes. Just simplyfies it for me. All of them are low tech so the adjustable intensity helps a lot to controle algae growth.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yes Pierre, you are absolutely right, that with low-tech the adjustable LED-s are a great solution.
