Discover the creative world of Yusuke Homma, ADA’s leading Suikei creator and longtime student of Takashi Amano. For the first time ever, Homma san visited Green Aqua in Hungary to guide an exclusive workshop — from studying nature in the forest to building a full 120-P layout inspired by the landscapes around him. Follow his journey as he reflects on Amano’s legacy, shares his approach to photography and aquascaping, and builds a Nature Aquarium step by step: substrate, hardscape, planting, and the philosophy behind it all.

    Hello,
    As usual, the video is amazing 😊

    Does the Glossostigma need to be trimmed?
    I’m afraid of losing that nice mixed and textured effect when trimming it together with the other carpeting plants.

    Thank you in advance for your reply 🙂

    I see, when put on contrast with other aqua scape i can feels the difference, the "vibrant" feels that homma-san talk about i can see it more clearly,

    the plants fight each other for growth space and vie for survival, the first glance i get its like overgrown aquatic grass but the more i saw it the more i get the "alive" feels on that aquarium that really fit the theme and natural beauty it want to show, the flows maybe need sometimes to see more but the layout already can be seen,

    the choice of fish too are planned with that massive quantity of fish would balance the "overgrown" weeds as that fish mostly eat plants, i see now to make aqua scape suikei need to plan the type of fish, the choice of quantity, the plants type and arrangement, and mostly the engineering of all element of foundation, truly a great video to see,

    I learn so much in single frame. Thank you for the precious footage ❤

    2:15 if anyone’s wondering what war he’s referring to, he more specifically meant the huge rice shortage between end of ww2 and 1960s that the Japanese government was desperately trying to resolve, hence the rapid-fire rice planting that destroyed the lagoons.

    What was the first layer of substrate used that all the fertilizers were put on? Just gravel? If the substrate stays nutritious for 3 years, does one take apart the aquarium and start all over?

    Sources on the internet say to place hardscape first and then aqua soil around it because it gets crushed but I always see pros adding soil first and put stones and driftwood on top, does it really not matter?

    Question if you don’t glue the wood, how do you keep the wood from floating?

    I don’t know if other’s have noticed it, the glass aquarium is slightly larger than the cabinet below, is it okay for the aquarium? It wont break due to uneven pressure ? @GreenAquaShop at 25:35 mins

    The description of the Power Sand advance says it contains Bactar100 and Clear Super but they've added it here separately, is this nessasary or just a good addition?

    I have two questions.

    I'm crazy about aquariums living in Seoul, Korea. ^^

    If you stack the floor tiles higher and set them up

    It's always flat after a month or two.

    Is there any way?

    Another question I'm having trouble with moss every time, I play CO2 all day, and I get too much moss even though I only do about 6 hours of light a day.

    The location of the fish tank is out of the sun. The PH is also maintained at 7.0.

    I look forward to hearing from you.
