I still have a hard time doing hardscape although I get so much inspiration from all the things you build and put together!! I love how the Dutch style just uses the plants to create some of the most beautiful aquascapes there are!! I have been binge watching Green Aqua all morning 🙏 Thank you so much for always sharing your expertise and experience!! I remember in the last comment somebody called you a guru 🤣 I agree!! You are my Sensei and I am your grasshopper 🤣🤣♥️🌿🐟🌿 Have a very blessed day Balalz, Tommy and all the beautiful people at Green Aqua 🙏♥️🥰🌿🐟🌿

I am surprised you have not been here before Mary, great material. Dutch style , lots of trimming, with hardscape sooner or later algae. I prefer cutting the grass to scrubbing the patio...

Stunning after the trimming!! Love the look now!

[@williamaaronhicks2198]

Balazs consider trying to find a small airline beverage cart/trolley for your tools. I found one secondhand a few years ago and it now holds all my tools and supplies. It’s been a fantastic organizational tool. As everything would be stored behind closed doors, none of your team would be tempted to borrow items from an open top tray. 🙂👍

[@GreenAquaShop]

This is a great idea, William! Thanks for that, I will surely look into it. Our current Ikea rolling cart is OK, but I kinda need a bigger and more convenient one, that has doors, etc. Cheers, you are the best.

[@PedroMoraisPedroMorais3322]

That really was messy 😁! I love stem plants and this just reminded me how I look when I need to go for huge trims, cutting rotalas to the ground and replanting. Takes like 3 to 4 hours 😅.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, that's why I try to avoid stems in the first place. :)

[@klebberbrazilian.theprofessor]

Are you guys telling me that is necessary to pull off the bottom of the stem plants from the soil and replace them by their top parts?

[@GreenAquaShop]

Only if you want the scape to look good most of the time. Otherwise you'd have to wait until it looks good - a week or so, wait another week until it's overgrown, then another week trimmed, unholy.

[@PedroMoraisPedroMorais3322]

@@klebberbrazilian.theprofessor I only cut them to the ground like each 6 to 7 months. On my case, that's when they start looking leggy and there are already too many tops placed between the others. I would say it's a matter of taste 🙂

Not really. They will suffer a bit because of the short-time stress but they'll be fine - if you don't stir the substrate and do big water changes with good quality water.

I have a question: You know a German KZbinr called "Aquaowner", he has visited you before. He has something in his shop that as far as I know hasn't been available anywhere else until now. Now the actual question: Do you know the "Cut and Grip" tool? And if so, what do you think of it? Otherwise I wish you a nice day. :D

Bonjour encore une fois une vidéo intéressante. D'ailleurs j'aurais une question à propos de la pogostemon helferi: Dans la video vous l'ai enlevées car vous dites qu'elles fondent. J'ai aussi se problème dans un de mes bacs. Je voudrais savoir pourquoi et pour quelle raisons? Car j'ai essayé a plusieurs tentatives mais a un moment elle fondent.

Pardon j'ai oublié de vous demander si ses possible d'avoir la traduction de votre réponse en français je suis nul en anglais. Merci.

Great work, Balász! But you probably had caused ammonia spikes in the tank, don't you? Note: That huge amount of work has changed my mind about fertilization. From now on, LEAN FERTILIZATION, hahaha.

Probably not. I think it's pretty free of Ammonia. I made sure to do big water changes.

[@ezrawilson6125]

I recently went to my local pet shop... And they have the seachem supplements. What seachem supplement do you think is absolutely essential for plants to grow?

[@GreenAquaShop]

You can go with just the regular Flourish, or you can go for the Seachem full fert range, depending on your preference. You will find all info and dosing charts on our page or on the Seachem page. If I had CO2 and was serious about the hobby I would go for the full range.

[@woltergrant]

I agree this tank needed a change but I don’t think Carlo was the right move. Far to boring, typical, and almost messy looking - which does not fit with the grouping, lines, orderly and neat esthetic of this Dutch layout, especially when the layout reaches its prime. Something like a center grouping of blood vomit and a few erio vars with maybe some interesting crypts around the corners and sides would keep it true and make it pop. Even if a carpet was a must, glosso kept with its uniform and more simple structured look would be a much better great fit. Plus it’s demanding maintenance would match the stems. To go with it some hydropiper around the side, where you mentioned you see, fading to the back would add great perspective(:

[@GreenAquaShop]

These are good ideas, Grant. Maybe we'll use some of these plants in the future in this tank!
