Come on, guys! No talk about the upcoming AI-Scaper project I mentioned at the beginning? Should I stop working on it? B.

[@bimmsta]

How the heck would it work? You're trying to create your own LLM?

[@klau8947]

Would love if the AI can use items available to us and give us examples/ideas of what can be achievable.

[@gracebromfield9070]

"Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby"

[@balazs_farkas]

@@bimmstaI am using a knowledge base that can be accessed by the LLM and answers users questions based on that. It also has some guided processes for algae risk, filter and light selection and planning a tank tech selection process too.

[@balazs_farkas]

@@klau8947That would be cool, I tink the image generation capabilities of the AI are not there yet, but if it gets close, I’ll try to add something.

[@cseperegazesolefolyikazarcomon]

I really like this scape, the rocks just disappear in the right corner and it gives a "passing" vibe. ❤

[@mikeinca3762]

Amazing!!!! Balazs always stepping up his game! The green Aqua crew is awesome! Thank you for the video Balazs!

[@yashtapase3821]

18:17 Props for cameraman as always for this shot 👏🏻 🙌 👌 😍

Great guys, so talented!

[@frankweinhard9561]

Green aqua is the best aqarium landscaper in europ THE tank nice nice nice🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍👍👍frank from germany

[@gracebromfield9070]

I💚LOVE that you featured lava stone and made such an elegant and energetic design! It feels like it's alive and moving. Thank you for showing that it isn't necessary to have the most fashionable materials. This lava stone aquascape is exquisite. Nature is beautiful💚

[@GreenAquaShop]

Glad you like this build! Thanks for your kind comment!

[@Ankescapes]

I really love it when it gets crazy at Green Aqua 😍😂 the hardscape is extraordinary, as often, when Balasz is involved 😎😃 congratulations!

[@HEAVEN.REPULSION]

What a dream! Rummynose tetras are my favorite! One day I also want a tank with 50 (+20) of them :)

[@GreenAquaShop]

Gogogo, you'll make this!

[@songgo1808]

i love you green aqua. I really mean it.

[@GreenAquaShop]

We love you too, for all the support! Cheers!

[@kasperskovly292]

Great music at the end

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, I loved it too! Glad you appreciate the production too!

[@Paul-li9hq]

Very clever idea that has been beautifully executed. Excellent work.

[@oguzhankanat7175]

Greetings from turkey. You are truly a master at this.

[@octaviomedina9017]

Beautiful Aqua scape is always 👍👍

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks so much, Octavio.

[@diananeri4476]

It looks like a bunch of toads looking at something! 😁I love anphibians! Hmm, or maybe dinosaurs!

[@GreenAquaShop]

LOL, good imagination! Indeed!

[@xmanu100]

brother you could have raised the lights till finished then lower them back.. also you super glue wooden stick support to hold the rocks in place till the black silicone dries then remove them tomorrow.. helps

[@GreenAquaShop]

Both are super ideas. I should have. Noted, next time will keep that in mind.

[@exotiscape]

Love it ❤❤❤

[@thedivide3688]

I really like this scape. Looks like a rib cage of a dinosaur.

[@GreenAquaShop]

I see it now! 👍🏻

[@Schackie]

great project again 👍🏼 Thank you very much for the inspiration and the great time in the video!! 💙💙💙💙💙

[@GreenAquaShop]

You're welcome, glad you like the end result.

[@OVHabitats]

Fabulous as always.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@xmanu100]

also my other suggestion is that you should top off the front with white sand which not only reflects light on to the rest but also blends amazing with the dark black and green background.. 👌👌

[@GreenAquaShop]

You might be right, we might change it in the future, thanks for the suggestion, will definitely consider it, if you see a cinematic video with white sand, you'll know we listened to you!

[@GreenRiver.aquascapes]

So great❤️

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks! Cheers!

[@rvscape]

Gorgeous scape! Very cool look. Excited to see it mature!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Fingers crossed! Stay tuned for the cimematic updates.

[@pececicos_y_mas]

Precioso, gracias por el vídeo

[@GreenAquaShop]

Muchas gracias 😊

[@simianlife5949]

Lovely and unique! Rummynose and pandas were a good call but what's the third fish in there (seen at 16:54)? Not referring to the algae team otos, etc.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Well spotted! We forgot to add the name to the description, but we did it now. They are Tateurndina ocellicauda (Peacock Goby). New fish from our fish expert, Lori.

[@minhnguyenquang9133]

Beautiful Aquascape as always. I have never thought bucephalandra could be planted in the sand like that.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yes, it works. Not a problem. Good to know indeed!

[@klebberbrazilian.theprofessor]

Great! ❤❤❤❤

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks, my friend.

[@alonsoescalantemaurtua2170]

[@changliu2175]

can we have another filtration and filter media video, love to see those.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Noted, thanks for the support! Cheers!

[@blatthelvete945]

Would it be more convenient to use a thin silicone spatula for applying glue?

[@Plantedbetta]

I wish I could work with these guys when I had my ADA 60p tank running it was me in the States I really would love for this to be my job ….. my wife is counting the days till I have another tank Covid really killed all my hobby’s

[@DonCron]

I really like it and call me crazy, but I think it would look even so much better with la plata sand from that point on where the big lava stone formation ends. That contrast - like in Hawaii where the black magma stones meet the beach...

[@GreenAquaShop]

Will definitely consider it, it seems you're not the only one who thinks so. Cheers!

[@Yuri7287]

@GreenAquaShop Thank you, very beautiful video! Please tell me how many degrees of carbonate hardness KH of water?

[@GreenAquaShop]

Almost all Green Aqua tanks have a KH around 2 and a GH around 5-6. Cheers, thanks for watching.

[@KentAJDK]

How scary, on a scale 1-10, was it the very first time you builded a tilted rockwall? Love the scape. Very awesome. AI, nah, I like to challenge my own brain to keep learning. "I think, I learn, I am." 😊

[@GreenAquaShop]

Not scary at all. This impa glue is strong! 😅

[@maveric1200]

👍👍👍

[@Ankescapes]

I'm absolutely curious what AI-themes are about to come. Help for planning a hardscape? Keep us informed, this would be the only theme that would get me into AI 😅

[@richardbunt2278]

Hi I still watch

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks for the longtime support!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Essa montagem que foi realizado com cola. São pedras de verdade. Vc segurou 3 colodas com uma mão só. Não sei achei meio estranho esse ângulo de grau montado apenas com uma área pequena de colagem. Valeu obrigado

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks for the creative critics, love these comments. Cheers.

[@rafapastuszka7737]

Hi there What kind of fish are exactly in this tank?? I’m very curious. Can you give me the list of them, please? Regards

[@GreenAquaShop]

We list all details in the description! Thanks for the view.

[@WilliamRockseo]

Is there any news on our LLM

[@user-de2nm6te9b]

👍

[@ssaquascapes]

I understand why; but really wish there were 50 RNT’s in that tank. And yes, I paused and counted twice. 🤣😛🤣

[@GreenAquaShop]

LOL, that’s what I do with fish. The guys would never give me enough. 😅🤷🏻

[@DannyBScaping]

I wouldve kept the green theme... and put in Kubotai tetras and Green Laser cory cats.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Good idea! Kubotai would definitely look good in this!

[@danielmaclaren3065]

i only want epiphytes... proceeds to add an entire bag of ada amazonia

[@GreenAquaShop]

Amazonia not only helps with the carpeting and other "rooted" plants, but it also helps with filtration. I believe filtration in the soil, the 'substrate system' as ADA calls it, is just as important as good quality filter media in the external filter. Good comment, thanks for that!

[@AssassinZunaid]

How do green aqua control tds with lime stone scapes

[@GreenAquaShop]

We let it fluctuate. Use only GH plus to remineralize, but TDS gets from 120 to 180 and back with water changes.

[@AssassinZunaid]

@@GreenAquaShop my tds goes upto 350 at the end of the week 🙂

[@GreenAquaShop]

@@AssassinZunaid No way! How much Seiryu do you have in there? Are you using limestone? Are you changing water with reverse osmosis?

[@AssassinZunaid]

@@GreenAquaShop It's a 30cm cube tank 8/9 kg lime/river stone I use RO maintain tds 150/200 then after 6 days it goes gradually high 300++

[@ronanchan4018]

I remember that spot was Congo. Guess they stripped it.

[@GreenAquaShop]

It was Luca's tanks just before that. We need to rescape the tanks from time to time, we have limited space and need new inspiration for you guys in the videos. That said, we're always sad when we need to take layouts apart, and I personally always feel the new one is worse than the old one. :) B.

This Lightground in the back destroy the view of this great Scape and Fish total. In the most videos is this white background a killer of colors and animal movement!! It is always tragic for the great Scapes and the picture of the scope himself.

Yeah, you are right, dark backgrounds will enhance the fish and the greens of the plants, but destroy perspective. We might do a black background tank soon, thanks for the idea! Cheers.
