What Would Tommy CHANGE About EACH Aquarium In The Green Aqua Gallery?

[@ayantikpal3684]

The only thing I would like to change for the moss only tank is its location...I would love to see that in my place

[@GreenAquaShop]

Fair Enough! 😂

[@FAAOAquascaping]

It's very difficult to comment someone's else work because we have our own taste and style, then we always try to improve according to that. However, doesn't mean we are right to other's eyes and this what turns this hobby in something so special and diversified. For me, the most difficult part, mostly when we do it professionally, is taking care of someone's else work, trying to understand their point of view and what they want to achieve, even when it's not our favorite style. Put ourselves in someone's shoes is definitely difficult and I'm sure lots of aquascapers would learn a lot, even if it was just once in a lifetime. I have a big respect for all that take care of the maintenance of someone's work! It's damn difficult!!! Cheers guys and was so great to see some of you in Germany past weeks. Take care and see you soon!

I think the problem with many Dutch style tanks is that the aquascapers are not creative enough with the distribution of plant color and plant texture so the result is just a massive multicolor bush. The plant colors and plant textures are the hardscape in those tanks. Coming up with creative ways to emphasize a particular texture or color would make them more interesting.

[@FAAOAquascaping]

Not really... Lot of people think that a Dutch style tank is just a planted aquarium without hardscape and have groups of stem plants... But, it's indeed a bit more than that. There are some rules that we don't even know, unless we are Dutch and really into it. It was crazy for me when I was judging and commenting the general appearance and then listen the guys that really know something about it... It's a bit more complex than I thought. Just do a deep research about it and you will see about what I'm talking about. 😉

[@SelfDescribed]

@@FAAOAquascaping I will look into it! Thank you.

[@leedsmanc]

Watching the build video of that, you can see that they were in an almost constant conflict over the number of plants to use, I felt this friction, the limited selection and the time constraints if y filming, were antithetical to constructing something as delicate and precise as a Dutch style.

[@tetraguytx1705]

I think it's informative to see an aquascape thoughtfully critiqued because it's a way of learning and of understanding how others see the work.

[@mikeinca3762]

What a place to visit! All those beautiful aquascapes! Love them all! Thanks for the video!

[@kavinduB]

My favorite gallery ❤️

[@pkmcb300]

I believe the best looking tank is the 360 Iwagumi by a mile. So soothing and natural. Thank you for sharing.

[@darrenderousse4804]

Such an amazing shop! I agree with Tommy on the changes! Even though anybody would love these scapes in their home! Keep up the beautiful content!

[@aquariumplantman]

Nice walk through & look at all the tank scapes Tommy.

[@JamesBoyer-plus]

Tommy is awesome! (I still like Balazs, too.) I've learned so much about this hobby from you guys and I really look forward to visiting Hungary and visiting the Green Aqua shop one day soon.

[@Tayturs]

So wonderful seeing them all. Theyre beautiful even if there are slight adjustments that could be made!

[@rte64rte]

Thanks for the update on the beautiful tanks.

[@КсенияЛубянцева-э7ы]

Thank you very much! Really nice gallery!

[@edwardpinner]

A wonderful video. Such terrific insights. Lots of references to ‘taste’... some have it... some...

[@attilaszasz8778]

Érdekes volt a fejtegetés a fényképre tervezett versenyakvárium kontra nappaliba kerülő akvárium között. Nekem pont az volt a meglepő, hogy amikor elkezdtem nézni a videóitokat, szépek voltak az akváriumok, de közel sem olyan lenyűgözőek, mint amikor élőben láttam őket. Ne értsétek félre, remek munkát végeznek az operatőrök, nagyon jó nézni a közeli felvételeket az apró élőlényekről és a kidolgozott aquascape részletekről, de amikor személyesen voltam Nálatok, mégis sokkal nagyobb hatást gyakorolt rám. Igényes videó lett, mint mindig!

[@elkegotthardt3204]

Thank you very much !

[@magrinhotheone]

Your experience in the field speaks by itself, amazing tanks, never get tired of watching your videos, many tanks to green aqua team👏👏👏

[@philcarlino6942]

Very informative. One of the toughest things in art is the ability to criticize your own work. Sometimes having an outside voice is the best. I am sure Tommy, Balasz, and Viktor working together brings out the best in all three. To me, the tanks are all a joy to look at. My favorite might be the tiger barb jungle tank or the walk around tank with the rice fish. Can't go wrong with any of them. Thank you, take care.

[@Patrickjk]

The sand substrate on the moss only iwagumi. I feel like it doesnt suit the scape. Its like someone placed the rocky moist mountains from a green valley on top of a beach. I am also not sure what might suit it better. Maybe a full carpet with varying heights as per the geography OR a rocky bottom with various size of rocks, pebbles and sand with spots of green carpet plants. Also the background. Is there a bg? Its like a blue unnatural sky.

[@TheAquadise]

Tommy the moss only Iwagumi would benefit from larger stones at the base of the left side of the aquarium. Also on the video the placement of some of the stones could face a bit forward. I can imagine seeing the tank from the side and it would look too horizontal.

[@Smallz69]

Would love to see an IAPLC worthy Diorama style Aquascape build

[@levemsan]

Amazing video, as always! It would've been nice to review the nano cubes as well 😁

[@AdyM35]

Love both of the large shallow cube tanks. Maybe in Tommys iwagumi 90x90x30, perhaps just add a small rhino stone in the shade area rather than introduce another plant? The riccardia iwagumi, just level the sand foreground 😃 Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, aquascaping can be very personal 💚

[@1Kaisermerlin]

Ich finde der dunkle Schatten im IWAGUMi layout, jedenfalls von der Kamera perspective, lässt den Stein um einiges mächtiger wirken. Der Kontrast zum sonst voll bewachsenen Aquarium macht es besonders. Die Fische nutzen diesen als unterschlupf und hebt diese nochmals durch die tiefe schwärze hervor.

[@hychamharouchi7614]

Thanks, really great video it is nice to see all your tanks in one video. For the moss only tank I would change the type of rocks used. I do not like those too much because they look like concrete and take away form the sense of nature.

[@ChristosChristos]

IDEA: Maybe try different backgrounds. Black ones, photo ones, colorful ones, or even play with the blurred transparent ones that have a spot light indicating the sun, etc… play with light! IDEA no.2: I personally have different “mood” setup for my aquascapes when lights go off. I have those tiny reading led light spots beaming in the middle of the tank, I have some small blue led lights beaming into a Brazilian aquascape making it like the moon stands above it, etc. Nothing that creates algae of course. Nothing intense. All lights go out after 23:00 and switch on 3 hours before the normal Chihiros one switches on for the 8 hours daytime period.

[@chrismucha2552]

In only moss iwagumi I would take off (or change) the rock on the left top side. thanks Tommy ;)

[@fabioprata9539]

Moss only Iguagumi is really perfect. My question is: how do you manage to keep such a low planted tank algae free? Is it ADA no Nitrogen fertilization? Great video! Thanks!

[@simonetonini2538]

In my opinion the moss only tank should have a little more green, but I think it’s a matter of taste and not a fact! Anyway GREAT GALLERY!!🤩

[@cosminlupu87]

Beautifull tank's...can i get the link of the video with the Ada India?...congratulations all the crew.

[@liaml9992]

Would agree with the Dutch style tank. A lot of nothing going on in it. But of course different strokes for different folks.

[@anghelmarius9429]

In 60P iwagumi Ricardia only setup, the top rock of the left boulder in pointing downward and for me it looks awkward.

[@jakubkminek]

Video content proposal - Can you make a video about the dark side of aquascaping? Like the Glofish and similar.

[@Melissa-lf4mq]

I’m very different in that I love the Dutch style tanks with big bushes of multicoloured plants. The contrast between green, red, pink, orange are just breathtaking. I personally love red plants so that’s big points for me. I really dislike the iwagumi tanks because I feel like the fish have nowhere to hide if they want to and they always seem more stressed. Like all those tiny fish cowering in that small shady area that didn’t grow any plants. It does look nice, but it needs a small area of longer, bushier plants to provide cover and hiding spots, but this is just my personal opinion.

[@amalmendis8937]

Nice video....

[@Trrondee]

Can you show how you would build a livingroom tank? what a non contest at home tank would look like to you?

[@eddieye9000]

Great video! But I have a question, If I am using Seachem Stability during the cycling of the tank, should I do the daily water changes at the first week, then water changes every other day and continuing this way constantly? Or should I let the bacterias to grow and stable on the filter without water changes? Because there's a lot of ammonia being released by the aquasoil and I don't know if I am doing it well. Thank you guys!

[@MarcosVinicius-dp1cb]

Hello. Do you know any equipment that automatically tests nitrate, phosphorus and iron in the aquarium? I wanted one, to synchronize with the doser and have a routine of tests and fertilization all automatic.

[@放屁组合]

the riccardia tank need a layer of rock behind those main rocks to have deeper look

[@donde1984]

I really enjoy your videos from attention to detail to the focus of plant species. I just wish the channel would also focus on FISH!!! Just like the plants with species name where it's from etc etc or a tank build for a rare TETRA. Fish are also important cheers 🍻.

[@ivanaivkovic2315]

My fave is 90cm CUBE... then...riccardia with Iwagumi... i think they are perfect... By the way, do u use some spec. soil for Utricularia Graminifolia and which one? Thanks in advance

[@VuHien2011]

If you do not leave a space between the rocks and the glass, how are you going to clean the glass next to the rock then?

[@suiso2]

A mature tank with slow growing plants does not be redone after a year or three. Just because some hairgrass in your foreground is overgrown, dig that out.

[@goodvishnu]

Totally unrelated, i took inspiration from you and raised two hills with aquasoil, nutrient substrate underneath it, just to avoid leeching, topped that with abou 5-6cms of mixed gravel. Would it cause an issue for the bacteria, would they suffer low oxygen or something? The Hill's are about 2cm of nutrient substrate, 30cm of aquasoil and 5-6 cm of gravel on top Thanks so much!

[@naturezaaquatica]

I love this video! What's the secret to keep ricardia so beautiful?

[@Slotracertje]

Sometimes i see fish tank with different rotala spieces next to eachother. I tried this also. But some have different grow speed, and in the end they are growing mixed, which is not good for contrast, do you plant, rotala next to eachother, and how you keep them seperated if you do?

[@GreenAquaShop]

We found they grow kinda at the same pace, but you can always top-off, and that will equalize growth.

[@blackwoodaqua]

i think it almost time to rescape that brazilian style tank .

[@ParteVerdeA]

👻 do vid on diy co2

[@danielbagby4149]

How do you ensure your nerite snails do not lay eggs on the hardscape?

[@simonedigilio2087]

Hi Tommy, how are you? Your video are very good, but you are great with rock style. I would like to ask what do you think about my 45P aquascaping iwagumi run with ADA 150 filter Co2 and fertilise flora. What do you think about do you any suggest to make better or improve?

[@breoperez8531]

Very good video of self-criticism, I think that by having an exhibition gallery, it is an obligatory exercise every 3/6 months to do a critical review of how all the assemblies are progressing, greetings!

[@だるまSam]

Hi all u guys, your aquarium are 50 cm high right? so i wanna know how is the distance between the solar rgb light and the water surface.. many thanks :-)

[@Wupper_Ryder]

👍

[@martinek8568]

The only thing i want changed in the moss tank is a carpet. Maby monte carlo. Not sure.

[@ComputerScientist01]

Yea I agree with Tommy dutch style is bit boring but different people different opinion. Now I would like to see a cinematic video of the pond.. please make a video of the pond

[@simonedigilio2087]

Where I can send to you some photos about it? To show my style to you?

[@lilla9592]

A me piacciono molto gli acquari in stile olandese... ma trovo che siano più belli con lo sfondo nero che fa risaltare i colori 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, I was just thinking we should do a black bkgd tank soon. Not Dutch though.

[@amybuy7791]

me too with tommy 12:47 dutch style in not my favourite and kill the beauty of aquascape world with combination hardscape(Rock@Wood),flora and fauna...hopefully IAPLC not recognise the scape Aquascaping competition...😂😂😂😂😂

[@agussanoto4817]

I do agree with tommy, contest tank not really look pleasant. In a camera it looks beautiful though.

[@TundeEszlari]

Tökéletes lett a videó, kaphatok egy komment szívet?

[@farbodgh7247]

Can i also get Tommy's opinion regarding what he would change about my layout somehow?

[@Matteo-uk9hd]

we want also Balazs opinion😂

[@leedsmanc]

Tommy's tank is stunning, as I am asked what I would change, it would be the shape of the top rock on the left of the valley, it's so strangely shaped that it breaks the illusion of a natural rock outcrop, looks too much like a human hand, too sculpted looking, catches the attention a bit too long.

[@tharushahansana5256]

[@stijndebock5752]

First tank, Fish don’t look very happy…to much co2.

[@gauravyadav8937]

You ask others to watch video but even you don't watch them as you said Victor removed the wood from middle or not from 650.

[@GreenAquaShop]

At the time of shooting this video Viktor's maintenance on the 650 was yet to be published on KZbin, so Tommy saw that video later.

[@naopak259]

tommy ur beard is not nicely trimmed 😲🤭😅🤣 just kiddin' my opinion is that aquascape dont need to be perfect ❤

[@aquariumtuning8269]

You guys don't like Dutch because you don't like the maintenance plus the point here is to keep plants healthy and looking their best of their nature, real aquatic gardening work! rocks and wood don't have live that's more boring to me and occupies more space than the plants, all plants used are always easy to keep and low demanding that's so mediocre, and of course from the sales point its more profitable.

[@rtaslarin1039]

I did not like the last work. A little sloppy

[@mohamedshabeen445]

Last scape not suitable for the gallery

[@darrenderousse4804]

Such an amazing shop! I agree with Tommy on the changes! Even though anybody would love these scapes in their home! Keep up the beautiful content!
