HOW TO BUILD A LOW BUDGET PLANTED TANK
Рет қаралды 1,243,204
5 жыл бұрынWe never did this before, but we actually built a 40-liter small planted tank on a relatively low limited budget here at Green Aqua. We used an affordable light and a filter and matched it with some other ingredients.
But then something happened overnight.... and Balázs made a serious twist at the end to make this planted tank nicer.
This low tech planted aquarium has already been taken home by a Green Aqua Customer - the next day after setup. So no updates will be available on it in the future. Sorry about that. But hey, we will do other guide videos so no worry.
We've picked all the products from the shelf to show you a cheaper alternative and we know you still can do it even cheaper in some parts of the World, but let's just keep the discussion to aquariums and less on budget and numbers. You always can save on costs in many ways.
Skip to 10 minutes to cut the waffle. :D Seriously, don't skip, if you're a beginner. ;) Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day!

Haha, I did not forget it in the first place. 😜 Also, I did not use it because it was sponsored, I used it because it was cheaper. 😜 Thirdly, I know aquascapers, for example Filipe Oliveira who really like these types of tweezers - he just loves JBL for example, which I would personally hate, so this was more of a subjective thing, not an "obedience" to a client, I would hate myself if I had to do that.

Low budget, high budget doesn’t really matter what you put your hands to work with, it always turns out beautiful. I understand your frustration when people are always talking about money. I think they forget about one main thing: it’s not about money! This is art, it’s creative and it’s the pleasure of creating something from your own imagination. The pleasure you get from creating your own aquarium. For me, that’s what it’s all about. The hobby and all the joys it brings. If money is an issue for you but doing something like this is what you truly believe you want to do, then wait. Save some money and proceed when it best fits you. Instant gratification isn’t something that come with everything. Even tho videos look easy, theres a lot of work behind them. And it takes a lot to work to reach a skill set such as his. Maybe people should stop talking and listen? Might help. ☺️

@@GreenAquaShop But it *IS* about that. The pre-emptive comment about people suggesting cheaper ways to do it - saying it's not about the budget (on a video explicitly titled a "budget" build) is disingenuous. You sell aquascape stuff - *all* of it is luxury. (And no it's not about being 'European'. I am too.) There's many channels on KZfaq describing how to do it on an *actual* budget. You don't need to compete with them. There's absolutely nothing wrong in selling and promoting high-end stuff. Some viewers will watch and buy, some will watch and aspire. Both are fine. It only becomes problematic when you do a "budget" video, then moan about those who might suggest a cheaper alternative, and underlay it with a song about money not being everything. It's quite simple to avoid annoying those viewers - just don't use the word "budget". It's just not what you're about. And that's fine!

It makes more sense in the long run to buy decent soil and substrate from the beginning - and of course as many plants as you can afford because you can add more plants and livestock later on in the life of the tank.

Amazing tips.. thank's a lot.. Q: does iron wood have tannin in it? how do you remove tannin from driftwood?
@GreenAquaShop 4 жыл бұрын
Yes, it has some, but not a lot. You can soak the wood in water before using it in the tank, and you can have Seachem Purigen in the filter to remove the tint from the water.

Your dedication and work ethics are second to none. Good to see you paying attention to the 'little' guy on a smaller budget. Excellent tutorial and a must see for beginner and experienced alike. TY for sharing with us. I am just about to set up a new 60P after being out of the fish keeping breeding game for 40 odd years. I am keenly watching all the Aqua Green video's on KZfaq. Biggest decision I have yet to make is what fish do I want lol Current thinking is 6 guppy - 2M + 4F, a pair of Apistogrammas and a pair of Bristlenose or similar and thats about it unless I need algae eaters.

Great Advice for some one who wants the 1st budget tank! But the main message was put across. save your money , plan ahead get good soil and plants! the foundation is key! and don't forget if you use wood... make sure you tie it down to rocks or soak it until it doesn't float :P Wonderful witty informative content as we have grown to expect! and lastly... to all that may read this... watch it 4K Balaz's really shine at 2am

Sorry to hear that Thomas. We always suggest everybody to get the best quality in filters they can, because usually it's supposed for last for a long long time, and price differences does not really matter when we are talking about a filter-lifespan of 10+ years. But leaks and faults matter.
@BrljoMrljo 5 жыл бұрын
I have to agree. This is misleading title, ADA is expensive. period. So if he would like that we do not comment price, please do change title (I do not want to argue, just noticed this detail). I have 30 Liter tank, Nigara 190 filter (hang on), 2 Orion LED clip lights, one nice piece of wood and loads of plants. Along with lot of exchanged plants due to me experimenting, I did not come even close to price of this tank. SO now on setup, I like general idea with loads of wood. I already see that with time you can replant new grown plants and add even more plants with no new expense. Subbed too btw :)
