SHAMELESS CLONING In Aquascaping | Building a 60H Planted Tank

Is it okay to make a copy of an already copied aquascape? What if the 'original copy' is your work? Is that even possible to create the same layout multiple times? Tons of questions, but where are the answers? Try looking for them in this week's video!

Nothing wrong with copying other aquascapes in my opinion! We are using natural materials and you will never find the identical rock or wood. The end result will always look different. Really enjoyed this build guys! great job!

[@sunaymukherjee7576]

But copying would take out some enjoyment of the scape right ? Like knowing that its pretty much the same scape as someone else's ruins the thrill of trying to scape .

[@kynijava817]

@@sunaymukherjee7576 nothing wrong with watching other scapes and get your creativity going, using methods of others or layouts, you give it care and love yourself. No plant will thrive if you dont care for it

[@onterom]

@@sunaymukherjee7576 I think so todo.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Even for creative people like myself, sometimes it is just good to practice the technical skills and do copies. But yeah, you lose a part of the creativity with it, I agree. On the other hand, there are many who just don't have an idea, or are not so creative, but still want a nice layout. Copying is the way for them, nothing wrong with it - at least that's what I think.

[@brunodamasceno1085]

I think the same. If you copying other aquascapers, they do it outstanding and you better 😆😆😆

[@raveensm]

Can you please show us how you guys move the tank to clients home after? It will be really interesting for us to learn how to move our tanks when we have to move to a new home.

[@jacksontieng9853]

Star Trek: Aquascape 😂 Thank you for the vids!

[@Spearse29]

Exactly what I was thinking 😂

[@TheCineScaper]

So cool Balázs!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks Máté, means a lot 👍

[@mishao3215]

Beautiful. Better than the last one IMO. I agree nothing wrong with finding inspiration and copying anothers creativity. Nothing is exactly the same anyway and your personality shows through ever time. I was thinking Tetras when I first saw it complete and then the Rummy Nose. I love those little beauties. More please!

[@guillaumedebacker7292]

The first person in Aquascaping was copying nature, so everybody is copying. Live and enjoy your passion, no matter what other scapers are scaping. Big love from Charleroi

[@manufacturer3602]

This is pretty spectacular, also extra points for the Captain Kirk costume!

[@giorvannifcim7998]

Ho visto tanti, tanti video di G.A. ma.... questo per me è in assoluto il più bello! Mai visto qualcosa di più bello nel mondo degli acquari.

[@littleman5890]

I love the little plays of reflection, almost make your eyes go in a circle around the scape, great choice in plants too!!

[@Fish-Tank-Live]

This tank is so beautiful guys. Thanks for uploading the video. It is really inspiring for us novice scapers 🙂 a truly gorgeous scape!

[@seanmasterson9282]

My best compliment? Looking at this tank gives me a calm feeling. Great job.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Glad you like it!

[@rogeliomorales4872]

I really loved this update

[@aquaescaping2597]

Beautifully done, love the scape, anyone else think this would look amazing in a circular 360 tank. Endless circle of rummy nose tetras. 👍

[@2roddmann2]

Beautiful I believe copying a structure refines a skillet. This is best of all shown of this design. Great teaching moment 👍.

[@John_Williams421]

Looks awesome guys

[@mattkinsella9856]

We came in to Green Aqua today for the first time in a couple of years and my fiance and I talked about the tanks with the branches reaching out of the tank. That's what we'd like to consider for our next scape. We had a nice time looking around and getting inspiration. We also loved your selection of Betta fish, the best we've seen. When we are finally finished with our house renovations in a month or 2 we'll be back to buy lots of cool stuff for our next tank 🙂

[@seraphimipx2611]

amazing work! love it!

[@Aquagold.goldysingh1313]

what a beauty in this setup. so amazing hardscape. seriya rocks always my top favourite. woods and plants really make this scape super beautiful.. well done legend. you always teach us new tips... thanks

[@microcox]

I really love this one, even better than the previous iterations. It's especially well balanced with a great interpretation of the golden ratio rule. It sort of looks like a tree took roots in a wall or a mass of rocks, then rocks fell away everywhere except where the roots held them. The only doubt I have is with the Parva at the top, I'd say it will suffer so close to the light. Also, from a video point of view I really liked that you went into a lot of details about how you did this. Cheers!

[@terrywilliams5810]

Amazing,stunning , beautiful, jaw dropping, just wow.

I was given a small 38.9L (10 gallon) tank that's taller than it is wide or deep (30 x 30 x 43.2 cm WxDxH) and I've been looking for ideas, so I'd love to see you guys experiment more with these taller tanks! Keep up the good work!

That’s one of the most amazing builds I have ever seen … thank you 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

[@GreenAquaShop]

Love to hear if you like the installation. Thanks for watching 💚

[@janecourtenay3676]

Love it, in fact I think it’s better than the 45 you did before. Obviously there will always be differences because you are not using identical pieces for the build and you have to go with the flow (pardon the pun 🤪). What fascinated me was the technical part of building the overall structure. If I could do something like that, I would be ecstatic ❤️.

[@GreenHappiness2112]

I realy love this tank, thanks Green Aqua!!!

[@ros7754]

Beautiful!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thank you 💚

[@alwalsted]

I love the Hydrocotyle tripartita growing out of the water. Bringing the scape out of the water connects our world to the fishes' world and makes me feel like its somewhere that I could be and explore. At first I thought it was missing some branches at the bottom right, but the plants capped off the look.

[@flob9616]

Museums are full of students who copy master paintings to learn. Not only the technique but also the light, the composition and the boldness of the painter that, sometimes, makes a painting take us to the guts. Copying to learn is the basis of all artistic activity. Aquascaping is an art! Even if, when I look at my tanks, I tell myself that I have a hard time putting it into practice ;)

I am glad that a Star Fleet officer took up such an enjoyable hobby.

[@GreenAquaShop]

LOL, right.

[@steve852011]

i think this tank is the best of the 3, amazing as always. I think the whole hobby has a bit of cloning. Eventually it becomes a style, if you were strict about not copying other peoples work there would be only one iwagumi tank. Yes you need some big differences and improvements to submit it in a contest but for your personal tank in your home, good luck, i hope you get it as close as possible and you love it. As an aquascaper I would take it as a compliment for someone to copy my work.

[@freshflowaquatics]

I really loved this design, nothing wrong with borrowing some inspiration. I've probably done what with your tanks once or twice lol Great video! Shirt combo reminds me of Captain Kirk.

[@nixequestrian3721]

Love, love, love the hard scape on this one & copying other aquascapes is fine IMO- I think it is probably one of the best ways to learn how to scape & develop an eye for functional placement.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, technical skills can be learned here. I agree.

[@susanneferber5907]

In my opinion there ist no harm in copying layouts. And even less in copying the own ones. For it will never be the same result due to the hardscape and the plants you use. It is an evolutionary process that can take you to a higher level. And I do love the emersed structure in harmony with the submersed. Great work indeed. Thank you so much for a new inspiration.

[@TheThomas2411]

I prefer this one . The original and the copy of the copy is better ^^

[@willspencer6023]

My personal opinion... copying someone’s tank is more difficult than just making a tank from scratch. With that said. I feel like it is a great learning experience and honestly a nice challenge. Making a scape from scratch and copying one that someone else made and trying to get it to match are totally different sides.

[@GreenAquaShop]

I believe that there are many people who just lack the original idea, this is mostly for them. But yeah, copying is not easy, I agree.

Honestly this simple type of aquascape is becoming my favourite and there is something about H tanks that make it even better looking. Wouldnt mind to see more of these! Wonder if green aqua or customers ever have problems with epiphyte specific diseases like anubias rhyzom rot..
