The BIG AQUARIUM Build - Creating a Natural Aquascape - Part 2: Planting

[@GreenAquaShop]

Hey friends! What to build in the coming weeks? Throw your ideas in the comment below! :)

[@greenaquascaping9491]

How about Atilla build a 60P? That’s gonna be really cool

[@captainweird1822]

I would love to see a very red prominent scape, with a planting style, and selection similar to your "boost" video. I like a giant assortment of species crammed together with a lot of varying hues, with rocks poking out (ideally dark seiryu, or possibly Frodo stone). More or less a Brazilian, or Dutch/iwagumi cross, with a lot of red and green stem plants, and an extremely aggressive hardscape. That would be really cool IMO, and is also what I intend to do when I can afford to rescape my current tank.

[@alokkrishna7729]

Why don’t you build a cliff and path like scape it would be nice I never saw a video of cliff and having a path beneath it . It would be nice in showroom

[@greenaquascaping9491]

I also want to see a kind of cave scape

[@davosat]

Copy some classic Amanos tank?

[@robertlonghair9532]

Would be nice to see a time lapse of the progression from start to cycled. This way people can see all the phases of the tank maturing. The different stages of colorization of the water due to the wood the initial algae etc… are very interesting as well and will give the audience understanding that these phases are all normal and should not making them desperate. Great build!!

[@GreenAquaShop]

Great idea, hard to execute in a busy shop. We've been surprised by the first week or so. The aquarium stayed crystal clear. Never thought it will start like that. Fake wood? 😁

[@robertlonghair9532]

@@GreenAquaShop A picture per day, shouldn’t get in the “busy shop” way… 😉

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yup that's true. We did timelapse in the past but had more frequent captures. Thought you're thinking about that style 👍

[@MrBrentcs]

Nature style harking back to the early days of Amano. That would be wonderful to see.

[@GeorgeFarmerStudios]

Beautiful layout guys and lovely production! The chef’s hat really suits Viktor! Miss you all 💚

[@GreenAquaShop]

Hey George, would be a pleasure to serve you a salad like this one anytime 😁 BTW Tommy does the best steak in the city too! We miss you as well, my friend 💚

I have watched you creating an Aquascape for many times and in every video your skills amaze me.

[@martinsokac2392]

This is the point, where it ends to be an aquascaping and starting to be a magic... love this tank... on the other hand.. for many of us it will stay just a dream, to be able to use a material for hundreds of euro in one tank.. can't wait for updates..

great to see you guys back in action. I would certainly love to see a high flow river type planted setup in one of your tanks.

I really like this layout. You guys have pulled off a beautiful scaped tank together. I would love to see some shots of the early weeks, as the tank settles in. I see lots of people have asked for a Dutch style tank, different to your other styles, so I'm going to ask for that. Thanks as always , and stay safe all ,.

Thanks Terry, will have some updates this week on photos for sure. Dutch is on our list for sure 👍

[@philm5872]

I've always wanted to see a tank with a "canopy" of plants/hardscape. Almost like a cave/underground river. I know that's difficult for lighting but it would look cool. A few low light loving fish underneath

Unbelievable you guys actually get paid for doing this. What a great job! Awesome scape as usual. Makes me spend much more money than I was planning to. :)

[@GreenAquaShop]

HAHA :) The goal is to inspire everyone. Sometimes just a small trigger needed to build a stunning layout at home. We're happy to share these builds with all of you, it costs money, and running a business is not always a smooth ride :) But yeah do something you're passionate about and that will be much more fun. 😃👍

[@brandonh6227]

I want to see a Dutch style aqua scape.

[@AquaGardenAquariums]

Wow, I see you're making this new aquarium with a lot of plants growing outside the aquarium?

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yup but this time aquatic plants only. So they will stay shorter. The room humidity should be enough for them and with this much light we expect lush growth above the surface 😃

[@alternativeaquascaping517]

i would love to see a classic style nature aquarium, like amano circa 2005-2010 with heavy emphasis on stems and hairgrass in a 60 p. very zen and accessible to people

[@GreenAquaShop]

I Will study that more and will see what we can do with it. He used less light back then

[@alternativeaquascaping517]

@@GreenAquaShop correct! Thats why i love that era of aquascaping so much. It challenges the idea of more more more and shows that you can do so much with lower light and co2.

Hello guys,great project👏, i have been waiting impatiently for this episode and looking forward to the next one. In fact, a week ago I was disappointed that it was not the vth episode 🙃 My suggestion for the next collection is to recreate the arrangement of the Sumida aquarium - the one in front of the stairs with sloping wood. It would be great to see it on a scale close to 150p. will you take up the challenge?

[@darrenderousse4804]

[@armandklein4076]

A Dutch style might be unbelievable

[@adamskyakwarystyka9773]

It promises to be a very interesting aquarium. Haven't you thought about setting up a Dutch style aquarium with more difficult to grow plants like Syngonanthus or Ludwigia Pantanal and White? You would have something completely different in the gallery, and the viewers too, I think they would like to observe such a tank and how you deal with it 😉

[@GreenAquaShop]

Many of these plants are hard to reach by customers. This is the reason why we're not building tanks with rare bucephalandras as well. But Dutch got a lot of votes today.

[@DavidBono]

Nicely done. I used a lot of the same plants in my latest layout. Maybe for your next scape do a diorama based on a real life scene. ;)
