Another fantastic tank and very interesting video! Congratulations to all of you guys – your tanks are amazing and I love the aesthetic look of your photos and videos. Definitely my favourite aquascaping channel here on youtube. I live in Vienna and will definitely visit your gallery sooner or later! Cheers!
"simple an minimal" meanwhile 1k later and co2 and high light
THAT INTRO WAS CRISP 🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥
What is the white device underneath the surface skimmer? Is it a co2 diffuser?
Beautiful tank. What is the smoke effect thing
What’s that thing on the left which releasing something white?
Is there a build video of this tank? I cant seem to find it!
great narration. thanks Viktor.
This is ADA 60P right?
In the beginning of the video i was utterly in disbelief why you cut down those beautiful stem plants which i thought is so stunning view but…after you trim it like a bald headed old man i was relieved when you put it back the freshly cut top parts of the plants and im convince that it looks more neat and amazingly pretty!😍…thank you for open up my mind that such technique will help me to be more prolific with better ideas to this enjoyable hobby. New sub here from philippines.
That is all i need to take care of my tank, thank you so much 😉 Nice background music btw 😀
Great video!!! Thanks for share it! 🙂
What is that white round equipment near the filter?
15:43 may I ask what is the white thing you put in?
Why no minerals in your ro water
Amazing
Hi, Are You lefthanded? 🙂
came back to this video because i really want to try my hand at stem plants. this tank is my favorite at the moment .
How to remove black algae on leaf of plants
Great video! Love rotala. But ive got a question, lowering nitrate makes rotala hra more reddish? My hc cuba tends to turn yellowish, so time to time i dose nitrogen, will dosing nitrogen affect my rotala redness?
always got good music, sounds good with the tanks and you guys accent.. love from chi-town.
What is the name from the stones?
It's really nice to have a scape with so much space in it
the flaming red plant is rotala hra? this plant can reach redness? because in tropica guidelines, it says orange colouration, what is the different between rotala rotundifolia vs rotala hra?
November 2020 and still here to learn how to maintenance stem plant, thx victor.
Thx from Indonesia
Hi ! If I may ask, how many hours do you keep the light on ? Because i have the same Twinstar 600S but still not suceeded in growing the red plants. Thanks before ! 🙂
Visited Green Aqua in Mid March and the Gallery is beautiful! Love your work! I was wondering if you ever run out of space during replantings? Upon initial setup, I know you are supposed to plant as heavily as possible, but how do we balance that out with the replantings we will do as the setup ages? Are there issues of overcrowding for plants?
Always come back to this vid for inspiration.
This was so helpful! I watched it twice. What I got out of it: One can trim tops of stem plants and replant them without sticking them into the aquasoil! I didn't know that. The bushy parts of the other plants hold them in place and they send roots down, cool! I also learned how you use a skimmer; I don't currently use a skimmer on my 10 gal tank (~30l); I just raise the outflow sometimes to mix it up and oxygenate the water. Your use of different scissors was helpful too, as well as your treatment of the carpeting plants! I also would not have thought of skipping the replacement of GH booster; I use Seiryu rocks as well, so this is a good point. Anyway, thank you for the great video!
So if You have Seryum stones and are using only RO water you do not need to remineralize water at all? Stones will do the job?
Hello. My rotalas were becoming red and then I started dosing fertilizers for the first time, doing so under the Estimated Index regime: algae was gone in 3 days and everything looks great, but the rotalas are turning green. I'm sure this has to do with the Nitrogen which is about 15-20 ppm. How can I make them red again? Lower the nitrogen? to what ppm? Thanks
