I have YT account(s) for 10+ years and this is my very first comment: The amount and the quality of the content is miles ahead of the best videos I've seen, the level of understanding the law of nature and its evolvement is purely remarkable, all driven by passion, dedication and experience. Needless to say this lecture is super-motivating and inspiring, it's also a highlighted path in further research. A massive thank you for the Green Aqua team for the continuous knowledge sharing, and thank you Balázs for the charismatic approach of narration, it's full of excitement and truly unique. Keep on aquascaping :)

I didn’t even notice it was that long! Ahahaha!!! It was great information and deserves a few re-watches and some notes.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! for the comprehensive overview!! I have been in the hobby for over two years, struggling with algae control. I have read and watched most everything I could get my hands on (especially T. Barr and D. Wong)! My core setup consists of an ADA 120P, Eheim 2080, Co2Art elite and Twinstar 1200SA. I have always had to reduce lighting to around 50%, thus reducing my PAR at the substrate to around 80 for algae control, never understanding why I couldn't succeed with high lighting like some pros. Co2 PH drop 1.2, tried low nutrients, EI and all ranges in between, 30% RO/DI water changes 2x a week. Seemingly tried it all with consistency. I always felt that using Excel was somehow cheating and that people with those beautiful tanks just have it figured out and maybe I'm incapable of creating this "pristine scapetopia". THEN the awakening moment!!! READY??? dosing excel everyday! I thought, Really??? What have I got to lose? After viewing this video I immediately started making a batch of RO/DI water. The next morning I did a 50% water change along with usual maintenance, lights to 100% power, (hey, I'm gonna see how this goes, I prefer the bright colors and separation you only get with high lights). Dosed 30ml of excel (60Gal water), re-mineralized added K and traces. Two days later I repeated and again after 4 days. Daily dosing recommended amounts of Excel on non-water change days. The filmaentous and green dust are almost completely gone! My scape is pearling so hard it look like it is raining upside-down!

Thank you, Balasz! You are awesome, man.

What a fantastic video. Of course we all love the scape videos and Q&A's but this is a video that provides such detail for what we should all consider a fundamental element in planted tanks in general. This will help a countless amount of people including myself.

Haha, thanks Alexander, great to hear that. :)

I kept having problems with BBA, kept all my nutrients perfectly levelled with auto dosing. Tried tons of nuanced differences in my dosing amounts (was mixing my own macros and micros etc.) And never got it to go away even with dosing a ton of gluteraldehyde (excel) and blasting the tank with h2o2 occasionally. Turns out my co2 system wasn't working properly and it was fluctuating constanyly.. 2 years of trying to get rid of it, it was faulty equipment. Moral of the story i 100% agree with balazs, keep it simple and stop overcomplicating things. I have an engineering degree in biochemistry and work in wastewater, and my aquarium beat my ass. Really good video green aqua!!

For instance, you took the road of having a rich fert tank and changed your mind towards lean fert. How would you re-introduce/re-adjust your tank to that kind of situation?
