INCREDIBLE PLANT GROWTH - Update Diorama Aquascape at GreenAqua

[@cjlafargue]

Congrats on what’s turned out to be a lovely diorama scape. I like this critique and the one you did recently in Denmark. It really gives us good pointers on what to consider both in designing and maintaining/tweaking a scape. And again, I think the camaraderie you aquascaping gurus (George, the Green Aqua crew, etc.) have across country lines and cultures, visiting each other so frequently, is inspiring. Makes us feel a part of the community as well.

[@jesc2072]

This is my favorite tank of all time!

[@andrewscala6006]

You are a true master... what I would give to have you design a tank like that at my home in the USA (NY)!!! Dream on...... your techniques yield natural portraits and bring joy!!

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Thanks Andrew, appreciate your feedback. If thats something you really want - nothing is impossible ;)

[@andrewscala6006]

Thank you for your rapid insightful comment. I’m a PhD microbiologist that finds your work inspiring and

[@andrewscala6006]

You are right...nothing is impossible....love to make it happen....

Nice tank and arms! I like the depth and perspective

[@chelmsford6774]

Nice tank, lots of depth and shadow areas.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

How everyone is now talking about shadow areas 😉

[@terrywilliams5810]

Great video today Jurijs, very informative too, good to hear your thoughts on this tank. Thanks for sharing.

[@s.kailaskrsna1005]

That is a world class scape

[@pabeloo_5832]

This tank is awesome, i love the details and the contrast of red and green plant. I love it !

[@gbj6581]

Its looking great. I agree with all ur points and glad you brought them up. Especially about letting the stems grow to the top so that it gives that bushy jungle feel, as well as adding a different foliage to the tops of the trees.

[@johnaitken7430]

like the hard scrape aspect that gives sense of distance..it really draws the eye in...like forest path

[@realfil]

I have just been to Green Aqua and I can tell you that this is the tank i would most like to take home. Keep up the good work. I have just found your channel, it is great as well.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Thank you, maybe you can ask GreenAqua if they sell it 😉

[@realfil]

@@JurijsJutjajevs not possible as i live in England and only went home for the Fukada Chong event 😊

[@varphotography]

Absolutely love it Jurijs. I personally think this is your best scape. I just love it. It is at the same level as one of the amazing scapes at Adam’s ADA Poland gallery. I just love the look. But the challenge is to get the hardscape and enough Ricardia moss to make this.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

hardscape is made from numerous small pieces - easy. Having that much riccardia is more difficult, but if you have time - you can use moss mud method and dry start the tank. this way you only need little amount of riccardia and you can achieve a much nicer result

[@varphotography]

@@JurijsJutjajevs Yea. I will definitely be trying my hand at a diorama style next time. Have to start hoarding some hardscape pieces.

[@varphotography]

@@JurijsJutjajevs what kind of wood is this Jurijs ? Horn wood or Manzanita?

[@skeletoncreek6446]

@@varphotography sorry, i'm new to the hobby. What is diorama style? Does it have anything to do with iwagumi or dutch style tanks?

[@varphotography]

Fernando Nicotera Those are classical styles that are typically used. Nowadays, in a lot of the contest tanks, people tend to replicate a natural landscape scenery in miniature. Diorama is the perception of a landscape/scene in miniature. There are critical aspects to making a diorama: expressing the sense of scale by using leading lines, receding sizes of hardscape etc. In this particular tank, it means using biggest pieces of hardscape closest to the viewer and them getting smaller as it gets farther away. Also the use of converging lines (sand layer going from wide in front to narrow in the back), the size of plants used in front vs back (Montecarlo in front, HC in back). All these make it look like you are peeking through a window into that particular scene. This makes it accentuate the size of the tank and increases the detail as well.

[@tim5190]

Outstanding Jurijs. I am a big fan of all your content. Thanks for taking us through the critique. I found it helpful.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

thanks Tim, appreciate your feedback

[@vampgaia]

I liked this tank so much when you initially set it up that I used it as inspiration for my first diorama scape. Yours looks amazing. Mine... well it is my first. LOL. It needs more plants and more moss.

[@jjkgiglio]

Jurisjs SuberBiceps Jutjajevs, congratulations this tank is a great inspiration for a lot of people !

[@ayemf9285]

This is gorgeous. You're so inspiring😍

[@mikeinca3762]

WOW! The Aquascape is amazing! So serene! Great job Jurijs! Your one of the elite at your art! Thank you!

[@LongshotLennox]

Such a beautiful tank. Love the pops of red throughout it, really add so much to it. The hardscape, incredible of course. So glad to see it grow in so nicely. Thanks for the in depth update on it!

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

You welcome 🙏 always a pleasure to read feedback like yours

[@uraninite8151]

I really like this scape, I’m going to try incorporate using larger plants at the front and smaller at the back in my new layout. Also the use of rocks that ‘interlock’. Dioramas and anything with extreme depth/ perspective are amazing imo. Great tank!

[@HOLLYWOODGB]

beautiful tank update growth

[@wildcoastliving5600]

Beautiful tank. I hope to soon set up my very first nature aquarium. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@aquabero4891]

Einfach Atemberaubend Juri. Das ist schon die Meisterklasse 😉, Respekt.

[@davidrocha1719]

Looks AWESOME !

[@GROCK619]

Very nice work !! Keep it up !!

[@konelee]

Beautiful tank😍

[@langen1111]

Nach wie vor das schönste Aquarium auf KZbin - meine Meinung. Mein erstes Aquarium wird wohl auch ein 60P und ich werde versuchen es nachzubauen. Auch wenn ich da eher skeptisch bin überhaupt in die Nähe zu kommen. Ich hoffe, es folgen noch weitere Videos zu diesem Layout. Ob hier oder bei GreenAqua, abonniert habe ich beide. LG

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Danke für dein Lob. Ich denke ein diorama ist zu kompliziert für ein erstes Aquarium. Komplexes hardscape, viele kleine Details und unterschiedliche Pflanzen. Lieber mit etwas einfacherem anfangen und langsam steigern 😉

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Und Updates wird es keine mehr geben, GreenAqua hat es in der Zwischenzeit abgebaut

[@langen1111]

Vielen Dank für deine Antwort! Das ist sehr schade... ich hätte GreenAqua anschreiben sollen, dass ich es ihnen abkaufe, falls sie es je abbauen wollen 😬 Ich freue mich auf weitere schöne Layouts und Inspirationen 👍🏻

[@sebastianvogel2587]

Wonderfull review of your Owen tank and beautifull too

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

danke ;) Wann machen wir update von deinem? ;)

[@andrewscala6006]

Awesome is all I can say Jurijs!!! The perspective is perfect as well as the choice of plants.... I need to visit!!!

[@jamesgreen9372]

Great tank, ! Any ideas on why plants were lost? A good topic for a video would be the most common causes of plant loss and how to prevent it. Thanks again. You work is a pleasure to watch, Jim

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

difficult to say, sometimes plants just dont make it :D yeah I can see this video being useful to a lot of aquascapers

[@jamesgreen9372]

The answer may be human hubris. We are only custodians of nature, and our understanding is limited. Very true in my case, Jim

[@vinniejudilla3921]

Looks great jurijs!👍🌿👍🌿👍

I don’t know how but I know that I have to visit green aqua (and I wish to meet you) to admire this wonderful aquascaping. Good job Jurijs🙌🙌 Keep inspiring me.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Flights to Budapest are really cheap (at least from Europe) so do not hesitate and make a dream come true ;)

[@renzyuddin]

Great scape,what filter do you use

[@AquaSkyTV]

Plants growth amazing! I really like your diorama style. I think You are one of the best scapers in the world which using diorama style. Personally I would like to add some really small rocks on the sand to add even more details :) Greetings mate! :)

[@rickyabdullah4758]

Nice update

[@karnaammu9208]

Wonderful 😍😍

[@matthagan4854]

Is that Twinstar run at 100% intensity? The colors look so soft which adds a lot to the scape.

[@DogMemes86]

Antworte bitte

[@tranquocbao9439]

Nice tank! I have one question: Is moss affected at all? Because Rotala needs a lot of light and nutrition, but moss do not need much light. Thanks.

[@sabdayagra8352]

simply amazing!

[@darrylmoore5847]

This is one of my favorite tanks.

[@PedroMoraisPedroMorais3322]

Maybe "spraying" a bit of H'ra at the roots bottom so it could look like fallen leaves 🤔. Don't know what to use as rooftop plants. Can't be too dense or the H'ra will have lots of shadow and maybe loose the reds. Maybe give pinnatifida a shot?!? 😊 But overall, looks pretty good 👍

[@rodrigommattos]

Nice!!!!

[@supernatureboy13]

Beauty

[@davidfieldman8723]

Great scape jurijs looks fantastic dose it take a lot of work to keep it looking like that

[@stevet9487]

I wish I could do a tank like this, I have to say that the path should be concaved like a worn path and have more of it showing and have a little bit dirty in the distance to give it depth. The wood at the front right should have a stone under the gap or something to fill it in. I love the style can we have more. Thanks

[@LkmLebaz]

Great scape. Seriously how do they get that rotala so red!? I’m running the same light with co2, ferts etc. But only get a hint of pink. Great scape.

[@ronaldevans1618]

Nice job 👌

[@justinlawjm]

Great scape, could you share the fertilizing scheme?

[@sagarubharecreativity]

You should add more root structure to the foreground plants currently they are like covered entirely in moss. I think it will add more detail to the tank. I agree with the background it should be more white to give the additional depth effect. And yeah the top portion is so empty they should have some weeping Moss may be

[@XViereck]

looks great! the only thing i would change is a little bit more details on the path like some lava stones on it getting smaller to the back

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

use to have crumbled lava, but it was lost in maintenance :D can and will be added for the final picture, if Viktor is ever going to take one :p

[@AquaBenyStyle]

Maybe next year I will go to the headquarters of Green Aqua 👍

[@MarkGarrettBusinessCoach]

Great review of your own scape #jsscapereview of a #jsscape ;-) @Jurijs, would love to see a video on the maintenance that GreenAqua does on the moss with the trimming vacuum. What is the configuration of that setup?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

you can see the maintenance in this GreenAqua video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpjEfpdjedFrsKc

[@MarkGarrettBusinessCoach]

@@JurijsJutjajevs thanks! Great idea to have a recirculating pump setup. BTW I sent you a hashtag on Instagram to review a scape ;-)

[@avillax]

Can you glue that moss to the wood underwater?

[@carbarretojr]

Amazing!Could you tell us the list of planrs used and specially on the branches?Tks!

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

I think all plants are listed in the second (planting) video, check out the playlist its linked everywhere

[@amberhamster9610]

What's your ratio of male to female galaxy rasboras?

[@dennisbinkhorst2039]

Maybe some Phyllanthus Fluitans as a floating plant? The roots grow no longer than 2cm and get a beautiful red hue.

[@winterume]

how do you achieve that pearling of plants??

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Co2 + Light

[@udodrelerfotografie146]

Tolles Layout, ich würde wie du schon sagtest, den Stein hinten sogar ganz entfernen und oben das Moos vllt sogar gegen Bucephalandras tauschen, vorne größere Sorten, hinten etwas kleinere.

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

Ich verwende ungern die selben Pflanzen unten und oben. Ich denke normaler Bolbitis oder ceratopteris könnten sehr gut die Baumkronen machen

[@udodrelerfotografie146]

Wenn die aufgebunden auch wachsen!? SIeht bestimmt gut aus :)!

[@johnaitken7430]

Holy crap I like your tank

[@colleensykes7564]

Does anyone know what type of sand was used in this tank? Love the color!

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

ADA la plata

[@jordangeller5257]

What Intensity and Duration are you running the Twinstar at? I have a 600SS and I can't get my Hygrophila Pinnatafida that red like the ones on the right on yours, not even close. It may just be because the leaves are twisted upside down? Mine look similar to the patch in the centre. I am worried about algae on Buces and Anubias if I push up the light, so I run mine at 65% not sure if there is a solution for this. Any idea?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

This twinstar is operating 100% for 8 hours. Also low nutrient levels are important for red coloration. GreenAqua is using ADA green brighty series fertilizer

[@farbodgh7247]

How do you keep hygrophila pinnatifida so compact and small? I'm trimming it every week and it's now basically a super dense fat bush!!

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

you need soft water, co2 injection and intense light

[@thefishgarden5078]

Hi good video

[@JurijsJutjajevs]

thank you

[@masterpeace7343]

Fertilizer used?

[@JurijsJutjajevs]
