Hi Balazs, what a super setup, it's amazing what you do with a bunch of rocks, a beautiful stone placed with a knowing eye. Very impressive with your expert explanation, thanks to you and obviously Josh Sim. In some ways I view the hardscape ,as with Adam a work of art in it's own right. The attention to detail I find wonderful. Thanks again to everyone at Green Aqua for putting all of this together. Look forward to the planting.

In our Malaysian Aquascaping Group we always recommend beginner to watch Green Aqua's video to get some in depth knowledge on aquascaping while Josh Sim's video for a deeper knowledge on their 'more professional' tank. Josh Sim's workshop video indeed an eye opener video of all time for me. Beside his workshop video, all of Green Aqua's video are amazing!. I really hope Balazs and his team can upload more video (2 or 3 videos per week perhaps?). It really inspire and teach us a lot! Keep up the great work!
