[@Akvarieboden]

Awesome video so nice to have you guys over to our shop and loved every minute of the weekend :) hope one day Green Aqua will come back to our shop ❤

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks for all the kindness and hospitality. It was truly a memorable trip to your beautiful country. 💚🇳🇴💚

Great to see Tommy being invited to workshops all around 🙂.

[@GreenAquaShop]

This is not our main profile, so only do this on some occasions, but happy to be out and discover other countries and nature 😀

[@klebberbrazilian.theprofessor]

It's a sign of international acknowledgment about Green Aqua high standard! You must be proud of it! ❤

[@GreenAquaShop]

We are grateful for sure 👍

[@probablypondering1657]

Tommy’s workshops are equally if not more valuable than the IAPLC pros. He has managed a gallery, worked with endless customers, built countless tanks. If anything, I respect his overall experience more than some guy who is a master super gluer.

[@klebberbrazilian.theprofessor]

I agree about Tommy's skills! Otherwise, I wouldn't reduce the IAPLC Masters to "Masters of Super Glue".

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks for the support, but the hobby is about continuous learning and getting inspiration. We're grateful to host some of these special workshops at Green Aqua. We're eager to learn from others, and watching them live in person is fascinating. We're looking for the next guest to our masterclass series. 🙏💚

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Main thing I noticed is that Tommy didn't have anyone hold his rocks in place while he scaped, he did it all on his own. 😂

[@TerrariumCartel]

He always gets someone to hold it!😂

[@GreenAquaShop]

Do not give an idea to him pls 😀🏋️‍♂️

[@cherellzandell]

😂

[@klebberbrazilian.theprofessor]

Well noticided! 😂 Let's put out a campaign that! 😂😂😂😂

[@goldfinsaquatics]

​@@GreenAquaShopWell everyone made him hold rocks so he's now experienced to hold rocks single handedly 😂

[@alwalsted]

Norway is truly beautiful! Great job Tommy! Green Aqua never fails to inspire, just like Norway did for Tommy.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thank you 💚

[@tetraguytx1705]

I learned a couple of good tips from this video. I also realized while watching this how much Tommy has influenced my aquascaping hobby.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks for the support. It means a lot 👍 I love to hear if we've been helpful in some ways. 💚

[@chelmsford6774]

What a great video to inspire travel to a wonderful inspiring place, and to mimic nature. Great job Green Aqua and Tommy.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks so much. Norway is a must-see country for sure. We only discovered a tiny portion of it, but still filled with inspiring scenery 💚🇳🇴

[@klebberbrazilian.theprofessor]

Along with the video with Balázs in the country side of Hungary, THIS IS MY FAVORITE GREEN AQUA VIDEO SO FAR (not taking the Masterclasses in consideration)! The stunning nordic nature of Norway plus the beautiful tank built by Mr. Dakinó matched very well. Congratulations, guys! You've got me once more! Cheers from Brazil!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks so much, my friend 💚🇳🇴😀

[@ameerulsyahmicherozilan4557]

I like the cinematography of green aqua! The opening / intro of this video so cool! Green aqua is majestic. Nature + Best cinematography. So dope!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks so much will let the video crew know about it 🙏💚

[@TerrariumCartel]

I’m proud of you Tommy you didn’t make someone else hold the rocks for you while you glued.

[@GreenAquaShop]

😀👍🏋️‍♂️

[@Glazed.Nature]

Probably one of your best videos, in my opinion! Congratulations Tommy, excellent layout

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks so much for your feedback. Glad you liked the video and the result 👍

[@riju3082]

Nature; the real inspiration & teacher 🏞️☺️

I love your scapes so much, and i love Norway, the landscape is stunning, thank you for the perfect video-combination Tommy!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks, Susanne, for watching and the support. I love to hear you enjoyed the vid 💚🇳🇴🙏

[@IndoorEcosystem]

Everywhere you look in Norway is an aquascape 😍! Great video! How come you never have someone to "Hold the rocks" for you?

[@GreenAquaShop]

Norway is truly amazing! We need to think about the holders more 🙃👍🗻

[@liaml9992]

Fantastic 😍. Norway's landscape looks beautiful.

[@GreenAquaShop]

It was truly a memorable experience. Such a beautiful country. We still have a bit of cow dung on our shoes just to keep the memory closer 😀💚🇳🇴🐄

[@nickh9294]

Very nice scape Tommy, Norways nature sure did inspire you! This scape is something for the shop to be proud of! Best regards to you, Green Aqua, and ofcourse Jason and Janne, I've met them at Luca's workshop at Green Aqua, they are very kind. All the best from the Netherlands!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks so much Nick 🙏🇳🇴

[@anoobis_]

Tommy really went all out on that scape.

[@GreenAquaShop]

👍😉🇳🇴🐄

[@Alex-n4l1c]

Tommy you managed to convey the spirit of Norway

[@GreenAquaShop]

[@craigquinn8225]

some great aquascaping tips aswell. i want to rescape my tank now. Norway is beautiful. and so was Tommy's scape. really good 👍 👌

[@GreenAquaShop]

Glad to hear it was inspiring in some ways 👍💚

[@RWAquariumPages]

such a beautiful location and scape by tommy. i love how he mentioned about the fish balancing and the image/video at the end with the fish was great. i had to scroll to the description to see which fish was used, something to consider for my next scape. thanks for the video and inspiration!

[@GreenAquaShop]

You are welcome, glad to inspire. Yeah, the fish names and selection is always a problem in the videos, good that you found it in the description.

[@viana4639]

Tommy is the man.

[@GreenAquaShop]

He knows what he is doing. 😀👍

[@zakep1562]

Thanks for coming to Norway❤️

[@GreenAquaShop]

It was a lovely trip with a fantastic host and audience. + Nature awesomeness 😀👍💚

[@Ankescapes]

Great copy of this beautiful nature! I think I would go for the Riccardia moss 👍😃

[@GreenAquaShop]

It would be awesome with riccardia too 👍😀

[@mariuszgalwas5945]

Hi Tommy, great project in Norway, you can find a lot of inspiration there. Regards, Green Aqua😊

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks so much, yeah a truck would be helpful to pick the nicest stone pieces for the upcoming builds 😀

[@petihorvath5400]

It was such an amazing workshop! Thanks again for Tommy and the folks. I hope next time Balázs will come as well. I was missing his bad daddy jokes a little bit 😅

[@GreenAquaShop]

Hey thanks Peti 😀Will let B know about it 🤣

i love this

[@GreenAquaShop]

👍😀

[@RandB_Aquatics]

not video related, how do you guys have great growth of java fern/anubias/buce in just a short space of time from your build? like your videos will say maybe a 4 weeks later and the epiphytes have all grown in nicely

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, the lighting and CO2 do their jobs. :) Plus, we sometimes use big plants, that were taken out of previous scapes. That helps.

[@ivanmaric1051]

I couldn't come to see workshop, but I am flying from Oslo to Budapest tomorrow and the first stop is Green Aqua :)

[@GreenAquaShop]

How cool is that? 😀👍

[@zeroboysjeh]

16:40 hopefully i can go there and see you doing the scaping😊

[@GreenAquaShop]

✌️

[@zeroboysjeh]

@@GreenAquaShop i am at hungary, when do you have plan do scaping class 😁?

[@legend9271]

Make an arowana scape if you can, something hard to accomplish Ive never seen someone accomplishing it!!

[@GreenAquaShop]

For that, a giant tank is needed and still gives many challenges. Check out the arowana videos from the King of DIY Joey 👍

[@legend9271]

@@GreenAquaShop Thats why I think you should do it, you guys are one of the best scapers, should challenge yourselfs like the goldfish video but this time an arowana LMAO

[@GenXHeart]

Oh Yes! I can see it! The arowana gliding over the landscape like Falcor in the never Ending Story! I would love to see it done GreenAqua style!

[@GreenAquaShop]

We'll keep your preferences in mind! Cheers!

[@garym7777]

Молодец Томи очень круто

[@GreenAquaShop]

👍🙏

[@Matisse6983]

Please tell me what equipment was used to shoot it? It's incredible, as professional and beautiful as a BBC Nature Aquarium documentary.

[@GreenAquaShop]

It's not so much the equipment, but the location, the composition and camera handling skills, the editing and ultimately the color grading that make our videos enjoyable. I trully believe that the human factor (super skilled and talented young guys) makes the difference. With that said, we use Sony on 30 FPS, only good quality lens. FX30, A7, and even a 6500. We prefer APC sensors to give us sharper images (with less detail). So APC combined with 30 FPS is what brings the look towards a TV documentary style.

[@SueMyChin]

Would you entertain a small amount of green algae on the rocks to mimic the moss?

[@GreenAquaShop]

Sometimes, this looks good, but if everything is so clean, even a tiny greening on the rocks would ruin the stone's appearance.

[@-AndrewR]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@amitambavkar]

What camera do you use for this video? And the lenses also? Please let me know 🙏

[@GreenAquaShop]

You can find the camera gear information in the description ;)

[@Grooberto]

what are the chihiros lamp settings in this aquarium?

[@GreenAquaShop]

Not sure, but I will try to check.

[@jamescorrigan6063]

Some Crystal Black Shrimp, to look like tiny cows, would be cute in this.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Actually, this is a great idea 😀🐄

[@tanpec]

I wonder what Tommy would have built if he had seen a fjord or Lofoten islands or other of the even more scenic places of Norway 🤔🙂

[@GreenAquaShop]

Will do it next time 😀🇳🇴

[@ChristianBarthels-xd4ls]

How many kilograms on the bottom until the glass cracks? Maybe a nice topic for the future...greetings.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Watch out for our upcoming 120P aquarium build with Balazs and Viktor. I think we pushed this number way further 😀🙃

[@arvidbeuchert4012]

Tommy you like what you like.magic of aquariums . use imagination. proper? artificial environment main is to be healthy environment. wood with stone if even sm amount to me? no right no wrong .as long as fish etc. are healthy. but! some wood with rock work .stone takes away swim space. structure for fish to iron out territories more important pecking order.dunno so many variables

[@SokhengMeng-r3m]

Can you guy help me? My plant Rotala when they grow high and then the bottom leaf die

[@GreenAquaShop]

Add more light and make sure you have enough NO3 in the water

[@detlefh.7090]

I found leaves dying prematurely is lack of phosphates typically sufficiant lighting provided of course.

[@Markus2140]

Buen diseño, buena explicación, pero el tipo algo pedante.

[@robdavis3274]

I find it weird that all the inspiration is from terrestrial landscapes not underwater ones. These scapes are visually interesting but just seem very artificial to me

[@GreenAquaShop]

You can find some crazy underwater scenes. Check out Grüner See Austria, Florida Springs, Caño Cristales Colombia to name a few 👍

[@ALLDAYEVERYDAYKIM]

That workshop was extremely good. Learned a lot, and got really inspired. Thank you guys for coming all this way, it was worth the 5 hour drive to get there ❤🤩

Thanks so much for the support and for coming to the workshop. 5 hrs drive, wow! That's a lot of driving to see a man with a beard 💚🇳🇴🚗😜
