You VOTED For This... 60P Low-Tech Aquarium

A few weeks ago We had a voting on Instagram. You guys could decide what kind of wood and stone do We have to use for this 60P aquarium build. You voted for Iron Wood and Manten Stone.
So Balazs tried his best to meet Your demand and We think He made a pretty good-looking low-tech planted tank.
What do you think about the outcome?

[@xXCerpicoXx]

Even 10 months later, I never cease to find new inspiration here. I am getting ready to rescape my 40 gal and needed some good low tech ideas. I have a new job that takes me away for periods of time and maintenance has become increasingly difficult. Thank you for all of the knowledge you continue to spread in the community.

[@GreenAquaShop]

You are welcome, and thanks for the longtime support too!

[@xXCerpicoXx]

It has been my pleasure. This started as a pandemic hobby for me and has turned into quite the adventure. I wouldn’t have been nearly as successful had it not been for your videos. Hopefully I’ll make it to the gallery soon to visit in person

[@HeyItsJA]

Super cool! Please give us updates on the tank as it progresses because if it stays lush like this with no substrate, I'm definitely going to have to give it a try.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Will do! Gogogo!

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

Any day that starts off with Balazs and Glue...🤯😁 You know it's going to be a good day!! I love when you do aquascapes like this!! Such a beautiful professional Aquascape that we can create ourselves!! I love watching you create the unique hardscape centerpieces with driftwood like this!! I also appreciated the way you demonstrated to us how it fit in the Golden Ratio!! This scape "flawed" right along as I watched you build it!! Thank you for another great tutorial!! I hope you and everyone at Green Aqua has an amazing day 🙏🥰🌿🐟🌿💚

Another great vídeo!! Here is one idea for more content: how to apply vynil in the back of an aquarium, what kind of problems you can get if not done right. Different kinds/colours/finishing of vynil which exist Background, colour related to the Scape. :D

We kinda showed it in the 650 video, but not separately. Good idea, noted.

[@AquaBenyStyle]

You have a very good approach to such small tanks, it looks great 😏👌 I think that big rock on the left in the lower corner is too close to the glass. It doesn't always have to be easy, you have to tire yourself out a bit 🏆👍😎👌 Greetings to the entire Green Aqua Team.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, maybe it's a bit close to that glass, I agree. Cheers.

[@lagoonaquascape9430]

Thanks! Nice video! I’m still fan of high tech, nonetheless it’s always fun to learn from you!

[@lagoonaquascape9430]

By the way, what if the routine you used to maintain this aquarium? My experience with low tech is that is much more likely to have algae problems, especially with a lot of stones. Also strong filtration is needed

[@alexjames7983]

Awesome as always, Balazs. Can't wait to see how it grows in.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Will keep you posted, Alex. Cheers.

[@volvic1237]

I'm beginning to like this style more and more. Now I just need another blank canvas (aquarium) to do more. Only 1.5 hours?! Wow!

[@capture_smartphotography1917]

I'm with you! My husband on my 1st day with my brand new Aquascaping tools put super glue gel on them! And I can't get out of the grips. I love the tank too

Very annoying, these tools are super expensive. :( Good luck with your tanks though, glad you support this hobby.

[@devachapman6315]

Good Job! nice to break out of your comfort zone and do something different. the video from green aqua are very inspiring for me. only suggestion I would have on this build would to use a different color of fish so they bring in the bright contrast like the snail did. :D

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, let's blame Lori for that. LOL.

[@TheNanoAquariumGuy]

This reminded me a lot to the Chill's first tank video. I was seen a bird on that piece of wood the whole time. It looks awesome.

True, the bird is there!

Cheers Balázs, well, we don't really do saltwater, not within our circle of competence. But we love them!

[@Tavagaveule]

I like this ! That's why aquascaping is cool, there is A LOT of possibility. I have a question : in a tank like that without soil and only epiphytics plants, how plants are growing ? Ferts since first day ? What kind of ferts ? Thanks :)

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yes, ferts, we use Green Aqua ferts, on a lower dosage.

[@yenting5402]

How did I know, soon as I saw ‘low-tech’ there would be nothing but epiphytes inside 😂 come onnnn noww boys. You know that’s not what we meant by ‘low-tech’ Everyone wants to see how you guys can do with an actual low-tech scape. I’m talking proper hardscape done, a variety of ‘easy to hard’ plants (+ carpeting plants) and in a proper size tank! cheapest light you own, No C02, only 1 filter used! And let’s say 2 pot maximum for any 1 plant 😂 (I’ll allow some ferts to be used, because you guys will probably go insane not using any at all) but if you want the full credit you know what to do 😉 Challenge Set….Good Luck 👊🏼 (The 60p looks good though B 👌🏼Classic 😘)

[@GreenAquaShop]

Challenge accepted. LOL.

[@vaflooo]

Nice, simple and pleasant tank. Good job! I don't know why, but I was never able to keep Pinnatifida alive in low tech setup. I tried couple of times in three different tanks and it always died. I managed to grow Monte Carlo carpet in low tech and still Pinnatifida died in this tank, no matter if I used it as epiphyte or planted in substrate.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Yeah, it might need CO2. BTW we use CO2 in this one, we called it low-tech because we thought most of these will do fine without CO2, you might try Seachem Excel...
