Luca Galarraga, you are inspiration for us brazilians.....Luca, suas mãos tinham que ser eternizadas na calçada da fama. Muito obrigado em poder contemplar suas obras inspiradoras!

[@CardosoNeto20]

They are not just hands, they are eyes is instinct and above all contemplation of nature and of course master Amano inspiring. Não são apenas mãos, são olhos é instinto e sobre tudo contemplaçao da natureza e claro mestre Amano inspirando.

Muito bom !

[@GreenAquaShop]

Exactly! I can't agree more!

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

Incredible😍.. The path that leads you to the back and the small rocks appear far away in the distance is really cool!!! I love the inspiration you took from Luca's aquascape!! All the beautiful layers and 104(😂) pots of plants 💪♥️🌿 The perspective and depth that you created is just simply amazing!! WOW my friend!! I'm so excited that I got to see the build of this scape. It will definitely be a favorite at Green Aqua and for all of us who watch the channel!! Balazs well done!! You, Tommy and everyone at Green Aqua have given me the opportunity to witness greatness every time I get to watch your videos!! Thank you!!! I hope you guys have a truly blessed day 💚🙏🌿🐟🌿💚

2-25-21, Balazs you are my inspiration. That is a perfect and gorgeous tank. The hours you spent produced a master piece. I learn so much from you and Green Aqua. Thank You so much. William

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks William 🤗 cheers.

[@boebender]

Impressive first Brazilian-style scape!

[@marcosspagnol7488]

My passion for aquascaping began visiting André and Luca atelier, back in Brazil. This occurs 10 years ago and now, in a new land, I still loving and trying to grow up in the hobby. Great work guy!!!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, these are really great scapers! THanks for the comment! Cheers!

[@viratkakani6321]

100 pots of plants!! I could only imagine planting them in a single aquascape!!😵 But sure it’s worth the wait and efforts!! It’s beautiful and impactful!!😍🤩

[@GreenAquaShop]

If you have plenty of time to grow plants you can do with half of it, but as a showroom, it needs to look good from day 1. dense planting helps a lot on the trouble-free start btw

[@user-wi1dl8lv6g]

Beautiful layout. So many details and plants...

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thank you very much. :)

[@kitekatka18]

Gorgeous!

[@lolame323]

You sure did a great job stepping out of your comfort zone in scaping Brazilian style, very proud of your work, turned out looking stunning wherever I look.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks Lola 🤗Cheers

[@TuanCaCanh]

Nice aquascape

[@GreenAquaShop]

😃👍

[@K1da]

Left side is very beautiful, with many crevices fill with such befitting plants combination. Plus all the stone layout combine, the left side really brings out the natural feeling to me. The right side however....16:44 I'm not sure about that "ahem" brown weird old teacup way up front (pretending not to notice the water hose). As much as I love tea... but that cup..gives me this "Jealousy vibe, like someone accidentally drop his granny's cup there to sabotage you.." (not looking at Tommy whatsoever!) then a sight a relief to know that the final contest picture is all good 😀👍 though I must say, the left one really hit home run for me compare to the right one at the end. Despite at first before planting the right side blew me away. I wish you the best of luck for the contest! And thank you for uploading this incredible work!

[@GreenAquaShop]

I like the left side better, I agree! Cheers!

[@Sinserg]

Very nice! The contest shoot at the end was amazing too. 👍

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thank you Sergio 💚

[@AldwinsBlog]

I’m started getting in love with this hobby during this difficult time it’s really depressing being alone at my house. A good friend of mine offered his 3 gallon fish tank even I’m not into it cause I don’t know if I can take care the fish but surprisingly got my first fish which are black skirt tetras and the next day I bought guppies I’m liking it and decided to upgrade to 10 gallon hoping to get more I have my 45 gallon fish tank now I’m planning to get cichlids soon

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

So glad you found the hobby♥️especially in these difficult times!!🙏 Plus getting to know others,making friends and sharing has been a blessing for me as well!!! It sounds like you're off to a wonderful start and especially watching Green Aqua!! They bring us so much positivity and so much inspiration it's really cool 💯💪🌿🐟🌿💚
