BIG PLANTED TANK MAINTENANCE SESSION AT OUR GALLERY

We started with the ambitious plan of water changes and trimming of 9 Green Aqua Gallery Tanks. We managed to do 4 on camera. See what we did to boost these tanks, and give them a fresh look. Learn some small tips and tricks of planted tank maintenance, with different setups, different scenarios.

Many of you have asked so here's the answer: we used Seachem Reef Glue to attach mosses to stones, it is a Cyanoacrylate-based gel type superglue, works well under water too.

I usually prefer a wilder, less "manicured" look, but I can see the importance of maintenance in such elaborate scapes. This video was eye opening.. thank you :D

[giro]

I really need to say that the maintanance at tank number 2 really impressed me. At first I thought that this will not reach a great optical perspective anymore but after maintanance I was just impressed. It looks really clean and will be able to enjoy a lot of customers for the next few months! There is truely no need to take it apart and rescape it. I really like it as it is now.

[violettenewman]

Ok, that was a wake up call. Thought my tanks looked good but now I see I have work to do.

[AeRaax]

Worked for an aquascape shop years ago, it's a pleasure to see such a passionnate person
Thank you

[PedroMoraisPedroMorais]

Damn, even the maintenance videos feel kind of relaxing 😅... The 60H is looking great now

[troywalker]

That competition tank is absolutely STUNNING!

[ElanAndHisUke]

I find that for alternanthera reineckii it’s actually much easier to prune decaying leaves by pinching using your thumb and forefinger (forefinger nail against pad of thumb). The various scaping scissors are useful for all sorts of applications, but I prefer fingers for that particular plant

[pattack]

I like this video...even a high class place like this has its little issues here and there...but going through the process of cleaning maintenance trimming just goes to show we all slack a little from time to time!

[raushanlaldas]

Thanks boss.🙏 This video is going to help me during maintenance session of my first nature aquarium which i set a week ago 😃. While
setting up my first tank all your videos were in my mind regarding substate, Hard scape & other nitty gritty.
You won't believe it is because of your videos and motivation i got from you, your humble & genuine smile i could complete my long awaited dream of nature aquarium. Thanks a lot ☺️🙏

[intox]

15:03 That scape is absolutely breathtaking.

[kyiusworks]

my weekly therapy watching your vids and looking at those tanks.. good job 👍😍

[BlercNet]

Ι feel like you're my friends, don't know why. Great video as always.
All the best from Greece

[hobbyscape]

Wow! It makes a lot of difference. That’s why regular cleaning and maintenance is very important. Beautiful scapes. Lovely video. Thanks for sharing

[janci]

I was visiting the shop last week and saw how the Diorama Jurijs tank (first trim in this video) has developed into an amazing and well balanced scape. Fell immediately in love with it. Congratulations.

[HAlves-ipcn]

Great video. It’s always nice to know what goes behind maintaining such beautiful aquascapes.

[lukasznowak]

Hello. very successful material. Your movies are great. Moss in the aquarium = work. greetings from Poland

[UENASivaprasath]

Most useful and helpful channel for me from India!!!

[terrywilliams]

Hi Balazs, I love that tank of Jurijs, such detail. The 2nd I still like a lot, The contest tank is impressive, so much maintenance in there. 👏👏 lots of info as usual, Dave's tank is looking awesome. Thanks so much for sharing. Brilliant.

[djpseudoname]

Another great video Balazs. Learn something new from each video.

My wife saw that I was watching your video and suggested I Chromecast it to our television so “I’m not straining my eyes”. She thinks I don’t know what she’s really saying is, “Why don’t you Chromecast the video to the television so I can check out Balazs.” 😒

Hey I see you and your team are visiting Japan 🇯🇵 in Oct. Congrats; please upload a video from the trip along with your aquarium site visits and the amazing aquascapes. Continued YouTube success 👍🏼

To others may be boring but I like this episode, maintaining is so important to keep tank beauty. Thank you.
