HOME AQUARIUM THERAPY - A KITCHEN NANO PLANTED TANK STORY

Planted tanks - even the smallest ones - help us relax, forget about the everyday problems. They deliver continuous stories of a natural underwater environment: the harmony of fish, plants, sand, rocks, and wood. Topped with the experience of a true feast - feeding the fish. To observe all this is the ultimate therapeutical experience. This video tells you the story of Balazs' 5-month-old home nano tank. Sit back and relax.

Great job! Welcome to scaping, you’ve got the fever!

[@marymccannon5610]

I am particularly glad that you have - although marginally - touched the subject of the psychological benefit. In these troubled times, we need that more than ever. That is the reason I consider myself blessed to have this hobby in my life.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yepp Mary, that is a very important aspect. Even the title suggests how important it is to me too.

[@AntsCanada]

I'm also in the middle of battling algae that bloomed right during quarantine, for similar reasons as this tank. It took some detective work to figure out what I did wrong, but I'm finally regaining control of the algae. The greatest thing is this video somehow helped me feel a bit better from the guilt by seeing how you went through something similar. Keep up the great videos!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Sure, we can have algae at all stages of experience and tank development. :) Good that you seem to have overcome the issues! Cheers, respect!

Hey Allan, will certainly do something about that.

[@floatingpeaks4584]

You are right about aquariums being therapeutic. I actually enjoy tank maintenance every week and trimming the plants, it gives me a break from my hectic life.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yes, exactly. That's one of the best things about this hobby.

[@spencer5082]

My first planted tank is right now and it's a 75-gallon "high-tech" setup!. You inspired me with your Pagoda Stone Video. So I bought about 120# of Pagoda Stone and found some beautiful Driftwood on a local beach. It's heavily planted with Monte Carlo, Hygrophila Pinnatafida, Myrio Red & Green, Ludwigia Super Red Mini, Pogostemon Helferi, and many other species. I wouldn't have had the "balls" to take this challenge on if it wasn't for you and the other KZbinrs who inspired me to create my own masterpiece. It's been going two months now and going good. I now also have a beautiful planted nano CRS tank as well. Thanks as always for the content!

[@GreenAquaShop]

That is very cool to read Spencer, sounds like you really have it figured out, and have all the chances to enjoy this hobby for a long time, good luck with your tanks, and glad we inspire. Cheers.

[@sunflowerkidworld]

This was an awesome video! Thank you for making this and inspiring me to build my own tank. You seem like a genuine person, I appreciate it😊 Cheers from California

Cheers, thanks so much for the kind comment David, much appreciated! Good luck with your tank, if you've seen a couple of videos here I'm sure that you're more prepared than I was when I started... :)

[@dannettepeters1507]

Had to move just before the pandemic unfolded, then, various circumstances prevented me from restating my tanks. The two fish I still have left, are still in their heated, temporary, clear tub. Finally, I have started and my tanks and they are progressing through their dark start cycling. I can hardly wait till planting day, followed by stocking fish. Like you say; aquascaping, aqua gardening and fishkeeping is wonderful, centering, therapy!

Cheers Kylie, good to be back!

[@wagnitosu.tofaketo4121]

Yeah

[@kamenidriss]

Cannot agree more with the psychological benefits of this wonderful hobby. I have a low tech planted betta tank and I can confirm the whole process of maintaining and even observing the underwater ecosystem is really therapeutic and reduces stress and anxiety. Truly beneficial, especially in these times.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yes, we share the same experiences! Thanks for backing up what I said, cheers!

[@davidgrembert7345]

Love the tank, I really love feeding time too, I have a tank next to my television and I watch the tank way more than the tv. Nice to see you back by the way. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Belgium.

Greetings David, thanks for the comment, yeah, feeding is a frenzy!

[@Luxuriouswhite]

I am a beginner and this channel got me into planted tanks. Ive been in the hobby for 6 months and i have two Co2 injected tanks. A 75 gallon and 10 gallon nano. Absolutely amazing! Lighting a tank with a bright light is what makes this hobby so beautiful

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yes, you clearly know what you're doing! Good to read comments like this!

[@Luxuriouswhite]

@@GreenAquaShop Thanks for all the inspiration and information! I was looking into filtration to set up a cage for a dwarf caiman here in the States when I saw your filtration guide video. Never knew aqauriums could be so beautiful, and it was possible that you could have one in your house. Immediately knew I had to get into it! Thanks again your videos are definitely helping spread the hobby

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks for the kind comment, and good luck with your future scapes!

[@definitelynotyuribezmenov7611]

My fishes are so used to me they eat from my hand and if I tap on the glass,they rush to the spot from everywhere

[@MehHalfhearted]

Love the fighting between shrimp and fish. I always have to split all of my pellets into 4 peices to stop my amanos from walking away with an entire tanks meal.

[@lisawhereisthecultjam]

Yes! I have to do the same.

[@GreenAquaShop]

We all have the same experiences. 😊

[@hhinojosareef1]

Beautiful my friend. I have a question I’m also in the process in setting up a planted aquarium. I got inspired with your beautiful tanks at Green Aqua including your personal tank. I just purchased a Twinstar 600E I got a dimmer with it also. 7 levels to adjust the dimmer. Should I turn up the light all the way up? Doing something similar to your tank to the plants.

[@GreenAquaShop]

If you have CO2 you can gradually bring the lighting levels up, yes. Just to be on the safe side. See? this is why I don't like advanced tech (like adjustable filters, lights, etc) because they make you think. I just put the light on and fought the algae, haha.

[@Jcislrd7]

I have always done low tech no co2 injection, (some times no) filter but your videos have inspired me do co2 and filtration. You can't beat that beautiful plant growth you get from the co2 injection, plus the water agitation from the filter. Yes there are good low tech tanks, but in this hobby some times you just have to take a chance ❤️ (plus, those lily pipes are just eye candy for aquarium hobbiest)

[@GreenAquaShop]

Absolutely. I agree with you completely.

[@sagrath1982]

Balashz “CO2 is easy” been fighting CO2 related algae for 3 months 🤦🏽‍♂️ lol

[@GreenAquaShop]

Well, time to sort it out then. :) It might not even be CO2 related. I'm sure once you figured it out you'll be able to be a lot more confident in the future.

[@nelsong09]

I can say that Your vídeos kind of save my mental health, since im at home for about a year and some, due to a big injure, and i was going depressive and building an aquarium really make me feel way much better than i was. So all i can say ia Thank you🤗🤗

[@GreenAquaShop]

You are welcome, glad we help you with the recovery, take care and get better soon! I'm also home for a long time now - broke my foot, haha, but will get out soon. Wish the same for you. Cheers and enjoy the future videos too. 💪🏻

Ah ah i can relate to this video. My amanos always steal the pellets from the rosy loaches and other shrimps. I have always to add a few extra algae pellets... staring at a planted tank is very therapeutical for me as well. There is always so many little details to watch for... shrimps, snails, fish behaviour, how plants grow, etc...love this hobby and your weekly videos. Looking forward for the next one.

[@shanebep3135]

Fish tanks and aquascaping are wonderful and therapeutic. I love working on mine. Takes my mind off of anything and everything. I also started with no co2 thinking it was complicated, once I took the plunge the plants grew way faster and fuller! Even the colours were more vibrant. I'll always recommend co2 to new hobbyists.

Wow, very cool, my mission is accomplished then! You'll enjoy your new additions, I'm sure. Fingers crossed everything goes well there, don't stop if you see algae, you'll figure it out!

[@nickh9294]

Your tank is getting better every time you do an update on it Balasz! Really like the details and the combination of delicate and small structured plants you've put in it. Also excellent choice of livestock, suits the scape really well. I think when the top left is grown in it will be even better! It's crazy how us aquarists enjoy watching the every day real-life show in our tanks, it's just calming and indeed therapeutic. If more people would be in the hobby, I think the world would be a better place! All the best to you and the Green Aqua team, stay save everybody! Nick

Well, a csatorna olyan népszerű külföldön (is), hogy a magyar nézők aránya - hiába vannak rengetegen - eltörpül mellette, pedig Magyarországon nagyon komoly akvakertész közösség van, a boltban ezt napi szinten tapasztaljuk. Csak itt tűnik másnak a helyzet. Nem olyan rossz. :)

[@gergop.7757]

@@GreenAquaShop Akkor csak jobban szét kell nézek :D Az biztos, az, hogy angol nyelvűek a videók, ez egy fontos kulcs ahhoz, hogy külföldre is eljusson az infó és az érdeklődés. Örülök, hogy ilyen népszerű ez a dolog és roppant klassz dolognak tartom, Hasznos - kellemes. Egy támogatótok már biztos van itthon általam ;)

[@GreenAquaShop]

Köszönjük a támogatást!!! Szeretettel látunk a Green Aqua-ban!

Thanks for sharing this video; I am starting my setup as we speak. I'm excited to have a CO2 tank; I'm a beginner and one of the top fan of Green Aqua. :)

[@GreenAquaShop]

Very cool, I'm sure you'll enjoy it a lot. Please don't get frustrated by the learning curve, you might have algae, other problems, etc, you'll figure it out!

[@TropicalBarracks]

@@GreenAquaShop Thanks Green Aqua; more power to your channel; I might visit your Green Aqua studio when time allows. Also if you allow visitors :)

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, looking forward to have you over, right now we'll have to wait a little until things clear up, only the commercial side of things have to go... Good times ahead though!

Who need a tv? I deffinitly don't if i can watch your videos guys, and your vid made my day thank you so much🙏 congrats for that little jewel its so special. The place where the fish are hiding looks like a gate to go through and find the lost Atlantis....😊😄👍👌😍

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, maybe they swim into another world when they enter that gate, who knows? Haha. Anyways, thanks, I believe you already mentioned that TV analogy to me many months ago. How can I remember that comment among the thousands I answer? Well. Anyway, cheers!

I think you should do more maintenance videos, they are really beautiful to watch and also very relaxing. Like so they can see

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, maintenance is therapeutic indeed, even to watch, will do.

[@scapecorner2899]

I really love this video, the soothing voice of Balazh is just great. I also have several tanks and I love to do maintenance or just sit in front of it and relax and forget the stess of the day. Keep in scaping.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks for the kind comment, glad you like our videos. Cheers.

[@The2follow]

Forgot to say thank you for the bit of the back story of how you came to aquascaping and how you benefit from it

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, that is a useful example for everybody. Stress-relief is an important factor of why I started it.

[@MaxPonyGames]

Hahaha this Amano football moment was so cool x) Great vidéo again :)

[@GreenAquaShop]

Haha, cheers, thanks!

[@mikeinca3762]

The Nano Aquascape is AMAZING! You are a true master at your art Balaz! Great detail for such a small aquascape, the hardscape, the planting, makes it all come together like its own little world. Very serene. Love how you explain the setup of the Nano and the importance of each step. As for talking to yourself, I always talk to myself when I am doing maintenance on my aquascape, you only have to worry if you start to argue with yourself lol! THANK YOU for another awesome video!

[@GreenAquaShop]

LOL Mike, well, these times are promoting self-concern, right? Anyways, glad you like this video and the way I think of my nano tank and glad you like how it turned out to be. Cheers.

Great story, good to see you safe and sound.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks Ed! Good to have you around!

[@shredbutter]

You are finally back! i was quite worried about where u went! My first tank i went straight for co2 system and i am happy with it! And my yellow shrimp does the same thing, they hang on to the drift wood just to eat the fish food on the surface of the water. I always feed them while enjoy my coffee/tea in the morning. i am considering buying a camera because my phone dont really take good macro shots. but cameras are expensive!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Oh, yeah the are, tell me about it, haha. A good macro is imperative, we only have a 50mm on this apsc camera we have, but Viktor's 100mm on his Canon makes much much better pictures.

[@joaomarcal5968]

Hi, I just stopped by to say what a fantastic job thanks to you Green Aqua I'm setting up my first aquarium in this format. I'm Portuguese and English isn't fantastic but just leave a good job message 😁😁

[@worldofthewater1085]

The way u define is awesome 😍 U r the inspiration ❣️

[@Fsuholley]

Your football analogy with the shrimp and fish was spot on. There is so much going on inside of our tanks. This video was outstanding. I am thankful that you tell about your tank issues. This helps us find solutions to our own Tank struggles. I think water changes are crucial when injected CO2 and Fertilizer is present. Side note: You are a wonderful spokesman for your Country. I bet many of us will plan vacations to visit your land because of your introduction. I find myself reading the history and would love to vacation there one day:)

[@GreenAquaShop]

Budapest has been swarming with tourists up to this point. It is a fun place to be, a true European city with lots of parties, architecture, museums, culinary stuff and baths of course. No wonder they loved it, it has even become a bit overcrowded for me. I hope things get back to normal soon and we will be able to have you around. That would be wonderful.

[@_scramrider]

A beautiful scape, with variety of flora and faun and a beautiful story. Amazing as every week. I'm late to see it this week. But as always, it's perfect.

Haha, I wish I was a lord. But thanks man.

[@Hellacop6]

A lot of algae are co2 related, hence why some guys says it’s not for beginners. Nice vid man

[@GreenAquaShop]

I agree, but they don't know that it's actually light and filtration related, because we all have these very strong lights above our high-tech tanks - 'cause we can, haha.

[@jamesrenschen1725]

Balazs this was a very peaceful and wonderfully soothing explanation of your kitchen nano. I love the world you see inside your tank. What a joy to see your passion here. Thank you for sharing this story. Jim-- Seattle, WA, USA

Big smiles to see you well and your 45-P well as well! All well! Such anticipation for this video since you mentioned it before! It’s a beauty with excellent layout that’s not only looks amazing, but looks easy to maintain as well. Great insight on your maintenance routines and how you and your tank got back to a healthy place. Surprised with all the home time that you’ve managed to not start a second aquarium :) But perhaps that’s a group decision. ;) Wishing you great health and healing vibes while you’re resting up!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks for the kind comment Daniel, well I barely have time to answer these comments here, taking care of Green Aqua and doing all the video shooting and editing - let alone... If I'd get another tank, I'd be way over my head in things. Haha. Plus, I've got 15 tanks at Green Aqua or what. Haha.

[@dpatten]

Green Aqua By the way, whatever happened to the cardboard panels or sheet metal shade project to solve the morning ambient light issue? Is that not so much a problem anymore due the lockdown?

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, I mentioned that in the video, but edited it out later, the whole thing was like 40 minutes, haha. Anyway, I did an L-shaped cardboard box that overhung on top and stood by itself, and used that every morning. I stopped using it after the tank cleared up, and waiting to see if it needs to be put back or not.

[@dpatten]

HAHA, well, I would have stuck around for the full 40min. I’m still using a fitted box shade, not so much for ambient room lighting, but for evening sunlight that comes all the way through from the opposite side of the house! If I hadn’t been working from home these days, I might not have noticed why algae seemed to really love that one small edge of the tank so much! Hahaha Thanks for sharing, Balazs. Always looking forward to your next and revisited projects. Have an amazing day!

[@GreenAquaShop]

You too Daniel!
