In 4 weeks I'm going to see all of them in person. Cannot wait to visit Green Aqua. The channel has been my inspiration for the last 3 years. Finally I get to visit all the way from the UK😊😊

[@mikeinca3762]

Love the setup! Lots of info and tips! Thanks Tommy!

[@Ankescapes]

This turned out really nice! I like it when bigger roots are used in small tanks. Didn't know that the rotala bonsai is now called amannia! 😳 keep up your fantastic work, I'm looking forward to everyone of your videos 😃

[@JPYJrecords]

Esta perfecto que muestren ahora el lado tenico de los acuarios las tomas finales un chulada, las tomas del gabinete como siempre Green Aqua sorprendiendo. Un saludo!!!!

[@user-up8yu8bp3v]

This is the video I was looking for. I'm happy to know it comes from you guys!!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Glad you liked it!

[@octaviomedina9017]

Tommy I think you’re a great aqua scaper I love all your videos 👍👍

[@rbubinas]

Great video 👍 Love it ❤️

[@HeRo-qd6tk]

Very nice. I love small aquas. 7.5g is a magic number!!

[@tusharjadav5924]

wow Looking Great...... Thank You So much....

[@detlefh.7090]

Nice nano work, Tommy but as always good luck and patience 😉 for cutting acicularis and netting the trimmings out the tank.

[@chelmsford6774]

One of the best builds Tommy, and great for most of us to achieve!

[@GreenAquaShop]

😀👍🍀

[@jimmyhfishes]

Looks great... new sub...❤

[@anonymeralkoholiker2880]

Looking for something simular in my Office. Which Skimmer u used? Size fits perfectly for this tank

[@DesignRobPearce]

Great vid. Please do a maintenance one on the minimalist one behind you :D

[@ABSaquatics]

Love all your videos, always a pleasant cinematic treat for the eyes. I just wanted to ask what is the blue fluid you used in the bubble counter. Many thanks

[@AquascapingAmazing]

It is a drop checker, a type of solution used to measure the concentration of co2 in the tank. "This solution changes color based on the amount of dissolved CO2 in the water. When CO2 dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, which alters the pH. The solution will change color depending on the pH level." Green: Ideal CO2 levels. Blue: Insufficient CO2. Yellow: Too much CO2.

[@zaferboran5343]

Mükemmel dizayn .Türkçe içinde çok teşekkür.

[@yashtapase3821]

Love you Tommy sir ❤ ❤from india 🇮🇳 green aqua team

[@SouthAfricanWanderer]

I have this exact tank. One question what is the capacity of the Eheim? Almost the same as the aquarium itself?

[@dennisvanopstal7360]

It looks awesome, although a stainless steel pipeset with that stainless steel Co2 diffuser would look much more cohesive. The layout is beautifull. Just some wood and only green all around is amazing to me.

[@treysimmons2179]

Tommy that is a great looking tank.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks so much, will do an update shortly as it is getting better day by day 👍

[@goober-ll1wx]

i like that little drop checker, who makes that?

[@broodkaisser]

Hi!! From Mexico. Amazing Tank!! ... What filter did you use in this tank?

[@csfilms2572]

hello GreenAqua nice again :) u put the light 100% ? 8 hours ? thanks

[@TIPSinc01]

Do you also perform 50% waterchanges on this tank weekly? I’ve got some troubles keeping my neocaridina alive… These are my parameters: ADA CUBE (30x30x30) (High Tech planted aquascape) PH: 7 TEMP: 25 C CO2: 30ppm GH: 6 KH: 3 AMMONIA: 0 NITRITE: 0 NITRATE: 20 Fertalizer: 2ml Tropica specialized (Every other day)

[@richardbunt2278]

👍👍👍

[@raidermaxx2324]

soooo what glue do you use ?? does elmer's work?

[@adechandranugraha5395]

Hi Tommy, i am from Indonesia. I have 90x13x20cm tank, actually for separate one room to another. Could you give me ideas how to scape that aquarium size?

[@GreenAquaShop]

The size gives very little room for "scaping" so probably use only plants would be the best option. Maybe with some which grows out of the water if possible. But you can't build depth.

[@anonymeralkoholiker2880]

Can u link me the Skimmer?

[@314rhat]

Great scape, but who is realistically going to have a tank this small in their kitchen or office with a canister filter and C02?

[@kento7899]

Sodastream seemed like a cool idea at first but here in the US the refills are pretty expensive and you have to take the bottle back to the store to exchange it, so it's still cheaper and just as easy to get a much larger co2 gas bottle from the local gas & welding store. Plus, stores are frequently sold out of the refills so you have to call and check if you can even exchange it.

[@velocitymj]

it's true. I have a 5lb tank and it costs $35.00 to exchange the empty tank for a new one. My tank is only 5 gallons and the 5lb tank is still on the same fill now for the last 18 months and not in the red yet.

[@lucasle6372]

hold up did Tommy lose some weight? Congrat bro 🎉

[@DmitriyDoGG]

редко кто ставит на аквариум 30 литров внешний фильтр. железный диффузор очень громоздкий..у chihiros есть миниатюрные диффузоры!

[@GreenAquaShop]

The filter is an extra in case you're after the crystal-clear look and do not want to worry too much about maintenance or organic waste. A good filter helps in many scenarios where internals fail or you do not have space for a hang-on.

[@ornn6177]

using a soda stream setup for my 45P doing quite well last quite along time for a smaller tank. altho im new at co2 not sure if im getting the right amount in

[@jedi2832]

shrimp wont jump out?

[@raidermaxx2324]

shrimp cant jump lol

[@jedi2832]

@@raidermaxx2324 yes they can

[@detlefh.7090]

Even the tiny Caridina pareparensis will jump out but to a lesser degree compared to the red Caridina which are introduced here.

[@karthick9334]

I'm from India please tell us which planted aquarium light are the best in price and quality

[@justin94431]

Vanakam bro, buy chihiros best

[@AquascapingAmazing]

If we only talk about the best quality for all types of plants, Chihiros is the perfect choice for you. But if you want both quality and affordable price then a great option that balances these factors is the NICREW SkyLED Plus.

[@woodialasfoor660]

Easy but expensive. 😊 not classical at all

[@leaf54]

When you use music with heavy bass you chase people away. Your call.
