Tommy REACTS to David's 120P Iwagumi Client Tank | Quality Control

[@walterotiepka1460]

One of the nicest iwagumi layouts I've ever seen love the 2 large stones

This is the best video yet I've seen on Green Aqua. (I love you too, Balazs!) Brilliant. I learned so much. Iwagumi is my favorite style of tank and, I argue, is the most difficult to master. Every detail and every flaw is magnified with Iwagumi. Tommy's critique was educational, correct, exacting, but also supportive. His knowledge was clearly articulated and could be understood by a newbie like myself. David's resulting tank is nevertheless stunning. He is smart, humble, has a great eye, and is a valuable member at Green Aqua. I would be proud to have him build my Iwagumi tank. Well done to you both. I won't forget this video! Thank you.

The exciting part for me is that my kids love watching this stuff. Love it!

[@mandyminshull2351]

Looks beautiful and I love the choice of fish. The Rummy Noses look brilliant all swimming together. Fabulous

[@mikeinca3762]

Tommy grilling the young grasshopper! Lol! Beautiful setup! The kid has talent! He's a keeper! Great video! THANK YOU Tommy!

[@detlefh.7090]

Or is the other way round? Tommy found his master I am quessing.

[@ZeepDr]

Loved this format. Would definitely watch more videos like this. Amazing scape!! I learned so much, too.

[@SimplyAquascaping]

Love the scape. I personally would have chosen a smaller tetra other than rummy noses as I personally feel they dwarf the scale of the hardscape.

[@ekmekthefig]

A huge school of Boraras would have elevated this layout even more. These fish are far too big

[@marinaosipenkova5532]

Stunningly beautiful iwagumi!!!

[@jenpink4298]

This is really beautiful! The only thing I would change is to raise that level of the sand. I didn’t really understand it when Toni said it, but it makes sense looking at the finished tank. This is really beautiful and the client must be so pleased!

[@darrylmoore5847]

Absolutely beautiful

[@thoughtsurfer4528]

I would be nervous to have this man critique my tank as well

[@gamer1672]

Man that's an awesome tank! I have been inspired.

[@stuartreed37]

Gorgeous scape!

[@Fers350]

The rock that needs to be closer to the glass is really the only thing im not copying from this scape. Its the iwagumi i was looking to replicate. Amazing job

[@Krishore_Aquatics]

Very Very Awesome Tank, I love the scaping, I love the plants, I love the fishes too much, Thank You Green Aqua

[@faya6190]

Pues a quedado precioso 😍 . Me encantaría que enseñarais el proceso de ciclado de acuarios como este . Sería de gran ayuda para los aficionados al acuascaping.

[@bjornanders]

Lovely! Looks like those mountains in Breath of the Wild.

[@zaferboran5343]

Türkçe alt yazı için çok teşekkür. MÜKEMMEL DİZAYN

[@RWAquariumPages]

Beautiful scape. Love this format of critique, helps me understand the thought process more for my next scape

[@GreenAquaShop]

😀👍

[@rezkifabilla-lw2dr]

we need more about Tommy and Balazs commenting viewers tank, I cant remember the title but I had watched it back ago.

[@RiverRatRory]

Interesting format for a video, I really enjoyed it. Good job to the young scaper!

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

Beautiful work!! 👏 👏 👏

[@christianhobelsberger4182]

Nice job adding the dark seiryu stone with the white inley to look like a waterfall ;D

[@NgocNguyen-rl7us]

I really like this style ❤

[@MinjLin]

With the amount of Seriyu stones used, one question i have is how to keep the water soft and PH low enough for the rummy nose tetras and the plants?

[@hangjawe9292]

amazing and looking simple but nice, very nice

[@miniandy82]

Simply excellent

[@sspartacuzz3037]

Amazing!

[@kitekatka18]

I love this setup very much!

[@Timsautosolutions]

Good video! Hey what food do your aquascapers feed most trop fish?

[@tinystiddlers8170]

Incredible work❤

[@save7043]

How many hours of light do you on? What are the lightings settings?

[@liaml9992]

Fantastic 😍

[@andyc8480]

Very nice I do like it, fish are an excellent choice and different,

[@JDBAquaPlant]

Hermoso final

[@CezmiYurdakul]

Do you know of a shop that can ship to Turkey?

[@petpot1962]

Can something like this be done as a low tech aquarium without co2 ?

[@justin94431]

Yes but it won't look good like this

[@thkeefalmomani6043]

Could anyone to tell me whats the background is jt light or not

[@Tavagaveule]

It's stunning !!! The problem with iwagumi is to find stones when you don't have good shop around you ...

[@272roby]

Molto bello, complimenti

[@Asitha_mg]

Learn lots... ❤️

[@kennethmunoz9037]

Hello! Question: Why do you have to use the fertilizer layer, of the substrate is supposed to be nutritious?

[@GreenAquaShop]

Hello Kenneth! Good question. While some substrates are nutritious, a fertilizer layer can provide consistent nutrients, enhancing plant growth. It is a backup to ensure plants have access to essential nutrients, even if the substrate's nutrients are depleted. On top of that, Soil, with its CEC capacity, can store these nutrients for the plants. I almost forgot to mention that most soils are unfertilized. If you do not use a good substrate layer, plants that prefer root uptake more will have issues.

[@joncondon2016]

One of the problems when sourcing good hardscape is that the better rocks in a shop's consignment get taken first, and what's left can often be disappointing, boring, featureless - or all three. Shops are often reluctant to 'refresh' their stock of hardscape until the old stuff is sold first.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Actually, this is a good video idea, to make something of the leftovers. I bet I can do something by combining the rocks. The more rocks you use, the better your layout will be, just use smaller ones, and not ones that are "ready made". Most beginners do that.

[@darrenwicker4881]

Beautiful rocks and placement, only 1 thing I agree with Tommy, the rocks on the right hand side look too uniform, but that's me being critical ❤

[@helloman4251]

Looks great. My only critic is the right side rocks when facing the tank. The three smaller rocks positioning doesnt look natural. Add more rocks or repostion that middle rock. Too straight of a line from front to back imo

[@jballenger9240]

Hope to see it in 2 - 3 months.

[@joshlock925]

Very dope! 🎉

[@monx1983]

I was hoping the first stone was on the left not on the right and used the arch there as a cave (could have used another rock on it on the bottom to elevate it higher than the "main rock"). Would've been nicer if both sides were higher (put bags of substrate to elevate the level rather than thick soil to make the illusion like the mountain was cut in half. Same as Tommy's comment that the scape on the gap should be at same level on the sides to create more depth. A school of 40-50 green or ember tetras would be my fish of choice. Nonetheless, its still a great looking scape.

[@MagTvest]

Don't listen to Tommy, the "dip" looks awesome!!

[@kumarkumar-zp2nl]

how awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee love this

[@hardenso4491]

Who did the thumbnail 😂

[@SpruceWillis16]

I'm going to be completely honest, I don't like the iwagumi style, because it's too artificial for me, but each to their own I guess. This hardscape looks epic tho. I would have put more epifites on the rocks and stems in the back, but then it wouldn't be an iwagumi anymore. Nonetheless it's a great tank and a very good job of Dávid

[@asapjakey3038]

those stones cost the same as a car in Australia

[@benihr3891]

"I dont want to ruin it with the plants..." my life...

[@djiiimmmscape8125]

No vost-fr whatttttt 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@save7043]

My plants can’t seem to grow healthily. Light is rather strong with CO2

[@philipwilliams2229]

Do you use a CO2 drop checker? Liquid fertilizer?

[@save7043]

@@philipwilliams2229 Yup. Drop checker is showing green almost yellow. I don’t put liquid fertiliser cause previously I did and had algae bloom

[@detlefh.7090]

Low mineral content makes live so much easier for scapers with much less algae and faster plant growth. Consider at least minimizing KH if not GH also.

[@junileon5717]

😳

[@GrahamDavis-w5t]

I do not see the point in adding white sand, as a pretend river, when this is an underwater scene.

[@sd.aquascaping]

it is not a river, but a path😊

[@yurioliveira4324]

Im almost leaving this hobbie due Algae issues. I've see and studyied everything about algae, how to fight it, how to remove, how to prevent, how to avoid and also saw your website algae.greenaqua ....and nothing works. Im very frustated =(

[@detlefh.7090]

Try lowering hardness by using RO water or else and you will have much better results.
