You VOTED For This... 60P Low-Tech Aquarium

[@xXCerpicoXx]

Even 10 months later, I never cease to find new inspiration here. I am getting ready to rescape my 40 gal and needed some good low tech ideas. I have a new job that takes me away for periods of time and maintenance has become increasingly difficult. Thank you for all of the knowledge you continue to spread in the community.

[@GreenAquaShop]

You are welcome, and thanks for the longtime support too!

[@xXCerpicoXx]

It has been my pleasure. This started as a pandemic hobby for me and has turned into quite the adventure. I wouldn’t have been nearly as successful had it not been for your videos. Hopefully I’ll make it to the gallery soon to visit in person

[@ttw369369]

The pebbles are really nice, add a touch of beautiful and nature looking to the entire layout

[@GreenAquaShop]

I like the Dennerle pebbles too. A lot.

[@ttw369369]

[@HeyItsJA]

Super cool! Please give us updates on the tank as it progresses because if it stays lush like this with no substrate, I'm definitely going to have to give it a try.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Will do! Gogogo!

[@peras3000]

Another great vídeo!! Here is one idea for more content: how to apply vynil in the back of an aquarium, what kind of problems you can get if not done right. Different kinds/colours/finishing of vynil which exist Background, colour related to the Scape. :D

[@GreenAquaShop]

We kinda showed it in the 650 video, but not separately. Good idea, noted.

[@capture_smartphotography1917]

I'm with you! My husband on my 1st day with my brand new Aquascaping tools put super glue gel on them! And I can't get out of the grips. I love the tank too

[@GreenAquaShop]

Very annoying, these tools are super expensive. :( Good luck with your tanks though, glad you support this hobby.

[@Tavagaveule]

I like this ! That's why aquascaping is cool, there is A LOT of possibility. I have a question : in a tank like that without soil and only epiphytics plants, how plants are growing ? Ferts since first day ? What kind of ferts ? Thanks :)

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yes, ferts, we use Green Aqua ferts, on a lower dosage.

[@James_NatureAquatics]

Balasz killed it on this scape! Love an all epiphyte tank! The use of size of plants is perfection! I do love a 60P tank! Major inspiration here!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Cheers, glad to inspire.

[@AquascapingLiverpool]

How did I know, soon as I saw ‘low-tech’ there would be nothing but epiphytes inside 😂 come onnnn noww boys. You know that’s not what we meant by ‘low-tech’ Everyone wants to see how you guys can do with an actual low-tech scape. I’m talking proper hardscape done, a variety of ‘easy to hard’ plants (+ carpeting plants) and in a proper size tank! cheapest light you own, No C02, only 1 filter used! And let’s say 2 pot maximum for any 1 plant 😂 (I’ll allow some ferts to be used, because you guys will probably go insane not using any at all) but if you want the full credit you know what to do 😉 Challenge Set….Good Luck 👊🏼 (The 60p looks good though B 👌🏼Classic 😘)

[@GreenAquaShop]

Challenge accepted. LOL.

For a second I thought I was watching an Amazon Prime Video production (due to the video beginning). Great video quality, guys! And Balázs, another beautiful tank. Congratulations!

[@gauravyadav8937]

I think you should use three wall aquascaping frame so its easy to monitor whether hardscape touching the walls of aquarium while aquascaping.

By the way, what if the routine you used to maintain this aquarium? My experience with low tech is that is much more likely to have algae problems, especially with a lot of stones. Also strong filtration is needed

Nice, simple and pleasant tank. Good job! I don't know why, but I was never able to keep Pinnatifida alive in low tech setup. I tried couple of times in three different tanks and it always died. I managed to grow Monte Carlo carpet in low tech and still Pinnatifida died in this tank, no matter if I used it as epiphyte or planted in substrate.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, it might need CO2. BTW we use CO2 in this one, we called it low-tech because we thought most of these will do fine without CO2, you might try Seachem Excel...

How long will the glue hold the scape. Would not screws be better for long term stability.
