Congrats Viktor, great video!
Loved how you guided us through the trimming options and the search for aesthetic balance, as a whole.
If I liked the tank before, I liked even better after the trim!
You guys should be proud of all you've achieved so far, and all the vibe surrounding GreenAqua, not just locally but around the Aquascape world in general.
I'm a fan since day #1 and wish you the best success possible for many years to come...
Again super CONGRATS
Luís Ribeiro | PORTUGAL >
Thank you Luis for your continuous support. It means a lot to us and really motivational. The goal is to educate people on this beautiful hobby. Giving support for this learning curve. Makes the whole process enjoyable without the frustration of the problems. And of course, show how beautiful nature is.
If you have any suggestion for future episodes or content what you would enjoy just let us know.
Best,
Viktor
I have 1 question, is there a cheaper way to chill water on summer than buying a water chiller?
You can use cooler vents, more shaders for your room of course, and if this is a small nano tank then some peltier cooling thing could work too. Room air conditioner however is probably cheapest than buy a dedicated chiller to your tank. 👍
How much is one of those cabinets?
Hi ManicMindTrick, check them out on the Green Aqua website:
www.greenaqua.hu/en/akvariumok/akvarium-butor.html
Only just found you guys. Loving the videos.
Hi Steve, welcome on board. Enjoy the time with our content. 😊👍
Can you show a non pressurized CO2 aquascape?
In our showroom and with our client installations we only work with pressurized systems. So i am afraid not. We do help many of our customers set up their non-co2 tanks, but our goal is different. We want to show the tanks and plants in the best possible form.
very nice, very unique use of hydrocotyle which really looks beautiful.
Thanks negan 😊🙏🍀🌸
Great video Viktor. You always provide a lot of information on your videos. Question, I have Riccia Fluitans, what's the difference between the Fluitans and Riccardia Chamedryfolia?
Cheers Randy, thank you for your words. Riccia is like a weed. Means it is so low demanding that almost can grow in any tank. And as you pump up your light, CO2, and ferts this grows with a lightning speed so will be out of control shortly.
Riccardia is a moss. Grows slowly. Has a different needs, but much more controllable. Personally, this moss is my fav one from all what i had in hand before. - Viktor

Hello, I'm using a eheim Prof 4+ 600, I have noticed you use seachem matrix and purigen and I'm thinking about switching to that. How much of each media and in what baskets in the filter would you suggest me to place these items.
Also, I love your videos and keep them coming so we all can learn from you
/Daniel
+Green Aqua thanks for sharing!
Thank you Daniel 👍🍀 For model 600 around 4L Matrix needed. And 100ml Purigen for every 100L water. Just fill in all baskets with Matrix and put Purigen in bag on top of that.
Hi can you please tell the water temperature must be?
+Green Aqua thank you 👍
21-25 celsius in general.
Can you please tell me the minimum and maximum water temperature we have to maintain in planted tank?
+Green Aqua thanks soo much 👍
Under 25 Celsius
Good video as usually Viktor, like the plants and the style of this Aquarium!
If you like you can visit my Aquascape ;) plclip.com/video/kagh4-aqn4k/wideo.html
Thank you for your feedback :) Glad you like it :)
How high are the lights above the water surface? Is it about 30-40 cm? What do you think about a trade off between the hight and the amount of light reaching the bottom of the tank?
Thanks, great job :)
Usually around 30cm. We're using powerful lights over on our tanks to make sure we will not have problems on the bottom layer. This 30cm is still a good height to grow any light demanding plants on the carpet level in a dense form.
I like it
Great aquarium. 😃
Thank you :)
I love this room
Im ur subscriber right now :)
Thank you Nikko :)
Magyar felirat van a videóhoz ?

Thanks for a very informative video. I like all the technical details at the start. It's always interesting to know what is running behind the scenes in these amazing scapes! I never know how to trim back my hydrocotyle tripartita.
Thank you Michael. Our goal is to reveal all the details and with this helps every newcomer on this beautiful hobby. There are really no secrets, and everyone should do easily these underwater gardens.
IS a fantastic tank..what adited of no3 and po4 thanks you.good video
Thank you. NO3 and PO4 is very low in these tanks because of the ADA fertilizers. 0-5ppm NO3 and no PO4.
How much of your success growing plants is due to RO water do you think?Of course high CO2, good ferts and light play a large roll but still.
RO water helps in many ways. Plants are having less stress overall. Also, need less CO2 and will find less algae issues also with soft water. This goes back again plant health. Healthier plants, fewer algae issues in general.
Excellent work!
Thank you Melvin! :)
@0:53 - 0:57 mins, it is all fun and games, until you topple over onto the tanks ;-). But awesome video. I absolutely love it. Great information, great presentation, great camera work and of course the best look aquariums. Yet more reason to come visit Budapest.
What T5 bulbs is that?
Thanks.
These are the ones we're using: www.greenaqua.hu/en/osram-t5-ho-54w.html
Riccia should be banned from the hobby! It's up there with spirogyra as a nuisance.If I had your store I would not have it in stock or just sell it to the most experienced aquascapers. A beginner should never get this plant that is for sure.
Yup that is true. Many people do not like it. For a beginner, this plant is a great experience. No need CO2 or high light to spread and thrive. You can attach this to a flat stone and build a carpet with that. Or make it to a rounded ball shape thing. Very easy to trim and shape it. Always throws bubbles. So i think this is something that gives instant success for the beginners. More advanced gardeners are not using this these days. Back in the age of Amano san, we've seen many wonderful tanks with this plant. But times fly and we do not use this anymore for the known reasons.
why the external filter suction and discharge pipe fix in the same side ??? why itz not placed in opposite direction ??
Not needed if your filter is powerful enough. This is something that is pretty overcomplicated in the past decades. You can place it almost anywhere if your filter has a good power to turn the water a couple times per hour and you do your maintenance task weekly.
Hi Viktor, cheers for another great vid from Green Aqua.🤙
Thanks Pete :)
Thank you the conversation yesterday in your gallery,keep up that fine work Viktor!!!
Thank you for your feedback, Peter. Hopefully, I helped :)
hello Victor! Keep it up!
Thank you :)
Great tank! Thank you for all videos.
Do you have any general guideline for the amount of bio media to use in a planted tank like the one you gave about Purigen?
Best regards
Thank you :) We only use bio medium in our filters + chemicals. For a 240L tank 8-10L bio medium is something what is a general solution in our shop.
Great video...👍
Thanks Jim! :)
Круто! Спасибо за очередной шедевр!
Thank you :)
Absolutely love it. You guys are the first to show the most important part of keeping a scape and that is maintenance. Request for future videos: show what problems did you face in maintaining tank and how you overcome it (such as algae etc.) .
Thank you for your words and your feedback. We noted your ideas and this is something we will include in our episodes for sure! Cheers! :)
This one is my favorite as well.
Thank you :)
crazy coral moss....I love it!
Lovely little moss. Our fav one as well! :)
Excellent video! Really appreciate the detailed information you give. Stunning aquarium too 👍🏻🙂
+Green Aqua no suggestions really, you're doing a great job. Just continue to share the secrets of your success 🙂👍🏻
Thank you for your feedback. Any suggestion for future videos? Or something we've missed?
Thank you Victor for walking us through this beautiful aquarium. I really enjoyed every minute of this video!
Thank you Shawn, appreciate your words. :)
Thanks for sharing all these videos of the aquascapes!
Thank you :)
Grate job making this beatifull tank love the texturen and background and insite of specifics this tank and as a beginner love to try for myself aquascaping !!😍👌👌
Thank you Raimondo, glad you find it useful :)
I love learning about the set up and history of the tank. Your english is very too.
Thanks Jean :)
You say over grown I say Amazing! We all have our opinions though.
Looked lovely, but plants would quickly just fill the entire tank. :) But agreed that this overlook appearance looks magical many times. More natural too. :)
Will Hydrocotyle Tripartita grow when glued to wood or tucked into gaps in stone? I always thought it needed to be planted in substrate.
Ahh, i see. Thanks for the reply! I'm going to order some now for my driftwood, as i think what you've done with it here looks beautiful.
Hydrocotyle will grow everywhere. No need to be planted. Some Hydrocotyle species goes out of the water too and shows beautiful form there, like Hydrocotyle maritima for example.
Nice job Viktor! Some great tips there and aquascaping eye candy at its best.
Thank you John :)
Very nice tank!!! Great video again!
Thank you 🙏🐠🍀📸
I would be happy with just the plant trimmings. I cant find good plants around here.
Sorry to hear that. No chance for plant swaps in groups or within a community?
This is THE most beautiful tank in galary .... Awesome work....
Thank you 🙏🍀🌿🐠👍
Very beautiful tank aquascape a fish paradise good video to watch job well done
Thank you Karl. Glad you like it! :)
I love the amount of detailed information and tips that you are giving! Just continue in same way :) . P.S. fix shipping costs to Sweden
Green Aqua
I wish you guys would move to Pennsylvania, United States
We need a purely aquascaping store in Sweden. Not sure how the business will go but it's about time.
ah ah ah ah ... that's the spirit!
You're like me: where other see unsurmountable hills, I see high-speed take off run-ways going vertical !!! Fly you M.F.(!), fly....!!! Lol
Thank you for your words. Also for the hint! We will see what we can do. If we can't solve it, we will move to Sweden! :)
great videos. high quality and thanks for sharing information to the community
Thank you Jeffrey. Your support means a lot to us!
Would love to do a low tech version of this scape any plant suggestions thank you.
Most of the plants would do well in low tech too. Maybe Hydrocotyle Tripartita is the only one which needs more and Hemianthus C. Cuba. But Anubias, Bucephalandra, Riccardia, Myriophyllum, Crypto, H. Pinnatifida, would be ok. May would use more Microsorum but the Trident version or the petite one in low tech.
Very nice man,
🐟🐟🐟🐚🐚🦀🐠🐡
Thank you :)

+Green Aqua great job and amazing shop
Thanks mate!
Once again a great video guys! Love it! 😁👍
YES! Be there or be square! :) :) Looking forward to that. Will be a super event for sure!
+Green Aqua you are welcome! I'll see you Viktor on Vivarium in November 💪😉👍
Thanks Stefan! :)
Very nice.
Thank you :)
Very helpful thank you.
Thanks Matthew :)
Hi Viktor. It’s grown a lot since I was in. What kind of wood is that? I like the vertical structure like with the 60p across the other side of the showroom.
Do you guys dose the recommended amount of Excel, or more?
I’m going to have to go back and watch the workshop again. Thanks for the information.
Yup plants just overtake the tank :) Love it! :) This is an ironwood. But carefully selected to match with the form and texture. Was not easy to pick all of them for this layout.
Nice video! This is my absolutely fav aquarium!
Thank you Máté :) Glad you like it :)
