"Welcome to the beautiful European world of aquascaping." I laughed! We Americans love to be different. I think you did a very good job with the scape. The reddish rock contrasts well with the bright green of the plants (and fish). For me, this style of Iwagumi is not for me. My favorite Iwagumi are the ones with very large rocks with competing structure with a lot of tension. Everyone has their personal taste. I still really enjoy this creation, and you did a wonderful job.

First, I'd like to say I'm really thankfull for what you, Balázs (and the rest of Green Aqua Team), do for us, Aquascaping fans world wide. Personally, besides the weekly video release, every time I'm passing through a bad moment I come to this channel to get some relief. And for that I'm forever greatful! Secondly, I liked the scape! Simple and beautiful! But I got a question, Balázs, about the two main stone lines of the scape: Have you noticed the depth sensation achieved by the fact that the first line is stronger, thicker than the second one? I wonder if you did it intentionally or not. Cheers from Brazil. (Professor Klebber) P.S: the only improvement I would do: tilt the stones of the first main line a little bit foward, to have more shadows in the tank.

@GreenAquaShop 2 жыл бұрын

Oh, it was absolutely not intentional LOL. I'm really glad that you have good moments watching us, this is our main mission, I know that feeling, I get it by watching other types of videos. Keep it going, brother. Cheers!

Some odd questions? For a rimless tank measuring 1200L x 500W x 600H mm, how thick should the glass be? Should the bottom be thicker? Is it best if the bottom is made of Plexiglass or Lucite rather than glass? Love your videos. I never thought I'd get so interested in aquascapes. I've even purchased stuff from you (and I live in Sydney, Australia).

@GreenAquaShop 2 жыл бұрын

Oh, how cool, Neil, thanks for the support. Well, I would not mix glass with plexi... I would just simply do it with opti-white (clear) glass. The thicker the heavier it will be but the front and back would not bend that much. A minimum of 10-12mm glass thickness is preferable. (The price also goes up with the thickness, and you'll need good quality silicone).

@GreenAquaShop 2 жыл бұрын

I would say they are fully cycled by the time we introduce the fish, but we use cycled filter media also, regular water changes, and wait 3-4 weeks after setup before we release the video with the fish in it - last minute. With that said, I would say everybody should wait at least 4 weeks before introducing fish, and use filter starter bacteria after they fill up the tank.

@dusk1947 2 жыл бұрын

It's a very pretty composition, others can hope to recreate. I do think you're missing something by not including (what I will guess was) Riccia in the original version. You're missing the contrasting color and texture of the dark green which popped, due to the abundance of the lighter colored mote carlo. The current version has to many of the same hue, so it looks washed out. But, it is a pretty composition. And overall, I'm personally a fan of easier to execute compositions like this one. It may not win a competion, but it's also approachable.
