Mastering Iwagumi: The Art of Rock Formations in Aquascaping

[@TheBBae]

This might be one of my favorite videos on this channel.

[@rhondafitzpatrick1646]

you just made the best tutorial on Iwagumi that I have ever watched... you have broken it down so nicely into understandable segments. thank you. 😊

[@rte64rte]

Answering the question, yes please more like this

[@АндрейЛавриненко-д7я]

Хороший выпуск. После нескольких лет практики вы подходите к теоретическому осмыслению и делитесь своими мыслями с нами. Благодарю.

[@garyt6454]

Thank you for Iwagumi aquascape tutorial!!! I'll definitely make my own Iwagumi landscape. That is so beautiful.

[@xXCerpicoXx]

I love the passion that Tommy brings in this particular style. It truly shows as he explains everything in a very easy to understand way. This video is also perfectly times as I am getting ready to set up two new nano tanks and have been leaning towards the Iwagumi style. Thanks again for all that you do!

[@redbaron2342]

I really like your river bed design!

[@terrywilliams5810]

Excellent explanation of an extremely complex subject made easy, no. 🧐 🙃 . Thank you Tommy . 😇

[@tentenmilan]

Inspiring to learn Iwagumi history' and architecture technique. So relaxing watching the video. Would appreciate to learn more about other styles in the future. Thanks to all the team for your work.

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

I've really been immersing myself in this aquascaping content. It's only a matter of time until I take the plunge

[@NitramFr-im8sz]

I’m new to this hobby and I want to say thank you for this video. Watching it gives me a lot of ideas and I think I’ll need 10 aquariums to put them in practice 😂

[@BRSfresh]

Fantastic information for everyone and amazing aquascapes! Thanks for the continued inspiration 👏

[@riju3082]

Thank you for such an informative video. When Tomy says something, he means it. Looking for more of the same with other styles as well. 🏞️🌿

[@Efphyx]

Yeah that was cool, and interesting too. I wish to get more lessons like that (dark water aquariums, complex landscapes, etc). Seeing a great contestant doing that is not the same as getting explanations like yours.

[@Akvarieboden]

Great to see you had pictures of your trip to us in Norway last year ❤ Great video Tommy

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

Best tutorial ever.

[@lawrencefisher865]

What better, a lover on rocks and iwagumi explaining the base principles. Awesome!

[@TGHCASTRO]

Great class, Tommy! It would be awesome to see something using Dragon Rocks, as it's something we hardly ever see you use at Green Aqua.

[@Rubenb1976]

I would actually like that as well. I am in the process of setting up a 60p with dragonstone, which i probably want to do Iwagumi style.

[@aerith9954]

Me ha encantado el video y me encanta el estilo ... Espero crear algo parecido algún día!

[@SonicStates]

Wonderful video! Thank you, Tommy! Would love to know more about the maintenance of such aquascapes. Cheers.

[@mikefoster5045]

Great in-site to Iwagumi style. Your scape's are amazing. Thank you Tommy.

[@AndrewHeisey]

Wonderful, would love breakdowns of all the various styles.

[@SonnySpinola]

I hope this becomes a series where they break down other scape styles using the same process

[@djiiimmmscape8125]

Oh toppp comme toujours 😊

[@ytphillip]

Thanks Tommy was a great introduction!

[@Platalfc]

Excelente información ampliaste mi visión acerca de este tipo de acuascape. Saludos

[@eleyequien]

A lot of valuable information

[@elhaddadamr1]

Just LOVE this video Tamas! You explained the Iwaguimi style in an easy attractive way. PS: You helped me a lot with my first Iwaguime and this video will help me in the next one.

[@lukaszharas9738]

Amazing video, you should continue this topic with other styles. Thank you

[@sionghua]

This good, make more like this.

[@FLOMALS63]

И познавательно и интересно 😊это прекрасная смесь для интересного видео 👍

[@rockyliu3601]

quite useful, I love this film.

[@sahilkeni-cr7]

love to see more videos on iwagumi

[@Diospyros1985]

Just stumbled on your channel. Blown away. So much great information. Thank you!

[@gregwilson5910]

Thank you Tommy, great presentation and explanation.

[@Cherrysams1]

After soo long Green Aqua produced a perfect informative video... I loved this video after Master Class videos no other video interested sorry guys

[@klausinator]

Great video! I would appreciate a video about the challenges of long term maintenance of Iwagumi layouts.

[@klebberbrazilian.theprofessor]

A such informative video. Please, more stuff like that!👏👏👏

[@munteanudaniel2782]

Thank you Tommy....naw y understand the logical facts of iwagumi...🙏

[@andreagalda28]

Very informative and still beautifully entertaining to watch.

[@junileon5717]

Iwagumi looks so simple but not the maintenance 😂😂

[@rjvlogs3653]

this was amazing thank you green aqua, I love your guide videos

[@ChefBlueLagoonPrinces]

great video tommy keep up the good work ... we need more like this ...

[@doheas]

I love your work! Thank you, Tommy!

[@nickh9294]

Very informative Tommy! Looking forward to seeing more of this kind of content regarding the different styles in the future. Best regards from the Netherlands!

[@Lucan04]

Grate content! It would be great if you could talk about each style of aquascaping. Thank you!

[@mikeinca3762]

Excellent video Tommy and very informative! THANK YOU!!!

[@judianprithiv457]

Bravo! Very interesting and informative content

[@SteveScapesYT]

Fantastic vid Tommy!

[@rhondafitzpatrick1646]

btw... love the Pringles t-shirt 👕.

[@tga8870]

Excellent video, thank's Tommy.

[@KeithDvorak]

loved this. thank you 🙏

[@AnNo_001]

Très intéressant. Merci!!!

[@doughmagic2005]

Thank You....great video!

[@Yolazonejevousaime]

Thank you ! Iwagumi was not my favorite type of scape because I did not understood the purpose and I would prefer biotop styles. Thanks to your explanation now get the beauty of Iwagumi, and I want to try experimenting this composition style in the future. 🎉

[@GreenAquaShop]

👍🙏🙂

[@alesc1069]

Here in Brazil Tommy is known as the king of Iwagumi!

[@petpot1962]

I agree with you that you can use as many stones as you like but I really think less is more in Iwagumi

[@gula65]

Nice video, compliments 👍

[@chikafouji]

Good work! Just a heads-up: some captions in “The Purpose of the Stones” are incorrect in Japanese Kanji. In Japanese, “Oyaishi” is written as “親石,” and “Fukuishi” is “副石.” Anyway, this video was very informative in helping me understand the history of Iwagumi style! Really looking forward to your next videos🎉 From 🇯🇵

[@charlestingel9700]

Even in adding fish, it's very visually appealing to have an odd number in my opinion.

[@AquascapingDesigner]

Ok, great to know. :)

[@brunobento4753]

Good work Tommy! How about a modern iwagumi with a nature style in it.. Would that work?!

[@MrFildur]

Ty!

[@fortunesfishing4766]

Keen as for this one

[@alexandremandina5685]

Excellent tutorial. Does the rock type matter, for example I am starting to build a 1 meter (200L) aquarium and I really love Dragon Stones, which I want to be the only stone type in my aquarium Any thoughts?

[@serifaquascaper]

Tommy yine başrolde güzel akvaryum

[@metallixro]

Awesome video! I have to say, old school Iwagumi to me is superior or modern Iwagumi and Iwagumi offshots. It just looks better because its simpler. Imo the core concepts of Iwagumi do not translate that well into the modern styles, they are cluttered and borderline dioramas, and the Iwagumi essence might be there but its distilled.

[@LukaszTiiger]

THX! :)

[@Lindonedhel]

Wonderful video... The "flow" subject is something I still don't get it (or see it, or feel it, I don't know)... I remember the explanation you got from an ADA member about the flow of a Iwagumi getting interrupt by an imaginary stone that Dave Chow thought it need it... Anyway, still much to learn I guess.

[@wolffairsoft1647]

You should do a iwagumi from the movie Kong fu panda! So many good choices to choose from, check it out!

[@rezkifabilla-lw2dr]

please make a video about ryoboku as well❤

[@obscure13]

👍😊

[@xprezydent7352]

Hey! I would like to ask you about some problem. I saw you have shrimps in your tank and the water level was almost to the end of the glass. I bought some Amano shrimps today and within an 2 hours, 2 shrimp jumped out of the tank, but I managed to save them. Did you also have a problem with shrimps jumping out? I poured some water out of the tank and I have 5 cm between the water and the end of the glass. Maybe it will help.

[@theviolentone]

look easy, minimalist but easy to cause mistakes & probelems..

[@ivandang8543]

Do you have any tips for maintenance for an iwagumi style tank? I set up a scape that’s more Brazilian but not enough plants to call it that and I’m battling green algae on the rocks and glass. It’s not the worst but when will it be balanced? Too much light and my rocks are green but not enough the plants aren’t the happiest

[@visenya16]

what if i support you guys by watch your videos without skipping ads?

[@michalgolf3]

Hello, I have a question if I could consult my hardscape with you, I would like to hear the opinions of more experienced aquarium specialists

[@barn0wl]

what type of rocks are the ones at 5:30 ?

[@S.MO.K]

Pringel's 🎉

[@lazyremnant380]

I wonder if there's some sort of debate between "conservatives" who advocate for the.... preservation of traditional form of Iwagumi, and "progressives" who support the continual evolution of the style.

[@Hellacop6]

This is no iwagumi, that’s an mountain scape. Check Ludo Bourdin mountain scape, he’s the best at this.

[@R_R_R_R_R_]

Great explanation of the concept. Try bbq pringles if ya haven't 🤌
