Muhteşem güzellik nasıl da belli takasi amano 🎉 yanında çiçek gibi açmış Türkiye'de olsa kesin aynısını isterdim ❤❤❤
This is the best what Ilooked in my life🎉🎉🎉 thank you very much❤
Love the finished biotope scape. This sounds a little funny but I literally planned out almost the identical scape for myself before this video came out.
Best tank i ve seen. Only someone who really sees and has been in deep contact with nature alone
All this nonsense about storytelling, only to have an extremely hideous aquarium.
wow that's the most natural pond in a glass i've ever seen
Wow what a masterful result! The design philosophy was superb. I will definitely be on the look out for Wio products. Kudos to to Green Aqua for bringing us such top quality content!
Love the look of this product, great job thinking outside the box 😍
Excllent piece of art 🤝🏻
When will the WIO sticky soil be available in the webshop? Looks like an awesome new material to play with!
One of the best ❤️
it's really really really the creaziets beautiful scape tank ever
This is a great setup! I'm also really intrigued by the sticky soil. The potential something like that unlocks is next level. Can't wait to try it!
Love it ! Very inspiring episode.
Amazing setup!!!!
Total build cost- $14,239
Hi
What your opinion about Ozone in Planted Tanks?!
Thanks!!!
Ok my dearest team… that's insane! 😮 How many stuff is in it?🎉🎉🎉 Very beautiful!
Nice scape, but I would not consider this as a biotope. So many plants and from different continents, this is more an aquascape with a twist.
Recreating breath-taking biotope is extremely hard, because one needs to analyse it in nature. Also they are very simple with very few plant varieties and here is the catch. Creating something amazing with the simplest ingredients!
So beautiful and love the philosophy Yago explains. I need the sticky soil 😁😁
A Master-class session on the world of Bio-tope… Awesome
Awesome! Congrats! Finally something naturell!🎉
Amazing guys! Perfect Video, beatiful tank….Great Job to all 🙌🙏
This was by far one of the most interesting projects I’ve watched been created in some time. Love this and wish I had more access to WIO products in Canada, because what Ives tested so far I adore!
Is there gonna be a tribute video for filipe?
Shame I can't find every WIO material used…but that's an amazing layout for any home
Full of complexity and less natural
This tank is amazing! Seriously, I want a Wio store in my backyard!
Beautiful, just an absolutely amazing aquarium, and easily this is my favourite tank that I've seen on this channel for a long time! The thought process of dropping the water level to observe the effect on the plants is brilliant (and something I REALLY hope you guys do a follow up video on!), not something I've considered before. This style of aquascaping is something I will certainly be trying out, as I always think of Biotope as black water scapes for some reason. Love to all the team at GA
simply gorgeous! i know the wio products very well, i think i was one of the first italian client. aquapad and stickysoil are new product, right? where i can buy them? i can't find them even in the wio site. Please let me know, thank you
That ist a wonderful Biotop. ❤
This is sublime and my kind of aquarium ideology! 🙌🏻✨ I reallllllly like it. Bonjour from Quebec city! 💁🏻♀️🇨🇦
Absolutely fantastic!
Quá đẹp trên cả tuyệt vời.
I am inspired! Incredible. Thank you!
@question
Where do you get this sticky soil? Cant find it in amy shop?
This was an amazing video! Yago’s approach is so novel and engaging. The tank is also stunning and I can’t wait to see the cinematic follow up. You guys should have him back to do one of the large central tanks at Green Aqua!
❤❤❤
Beautiful!!
Amazing and stunning.
Thanks a lot.
I have used a simliar tissue technic (vulcanic mineral or soil in fine meshbags / laundrybag) for my Aquascapes, because I am fed up with these black soil particals on the forground sand. I cover these bags under a good layer of sand. I stick the plants into the sand so that their roots touch the bags and can easily find their way into the soil.
For my up comming 720l river scape this video is a great inspiration.
Yago is such a chilled dude.
I really like his mindset when coming up with this scape.
You can see he really spends a lot of time observing nature!
I can't wait to see this all grown in.
Loved watching this… a great learning tool for biotope tanks. Beautiful layout and could sit infront of this for hours. One question when are those pads and sticky soil available in the UK!!!
This ist absolutely great! I love the sticky soil-idea ans the planting pads. I didn't get how the planted part on top of the big rock is kept wet. Is there an additional hose or do you have to spray it?
Awesome!!
At the end all i could think was wow, those are some lucky fish! You hear biotope and i dont think you naturally think plants. However this, IMO will resonate with most NA hobbyist, the harmony between hardscape, plants and inhabitants is beautiful. With the concept that the fish are the driving factor for the aesthetics not the hobbyist makes me smile 😁
