HOW TO BUILD A LOW BUDGET PLANTED TANK

We never did this before, but we actually built a 40-liter small planted tank on a relatively low limited budget here at Green Aqua. We used an affordable light and a filter and matched it with some other ingredients.
But then something happened overnight.... and Balázs made a serious twist at the end to make this planted tank nicer.
This low tech planted aquarium has already been taken home by a Green Aqua Customer - the next day after setup. So no updates will be available on it in the future. Sorry about that. But hey, we will do other guide videos so no worry.
We've picked all the products from the shelf to show you a cheaper alternative and we know you still can do it even cheaper in some parts of the World, but let's just keep the discussion to aquariums and less on budget and numbers. You always can save on costs in many ways.
Skip to 10 minutes to cut the waffle. :D Seriously, don't skip, if you're a beginner. ;) Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day!

"I hate working with these tweezers"....*remembers it's a sponsored video*..."but it's good for the job" 😂

@GreenAquaShop 5 лет назад

Haha, I did not forget it in the first place. 😜 Also, I did not use it because it was sponsored, I used it because it was cheaper. 😜 Thirdly, I know aquascapers, for example Filipe Oliveira who really like these types of tweezers - he just loves JBL for example, which I would personally hate, so this was more of a subjective thing, not an "obedience" to a client, I would hate myself if I had to do that.

@loxlie 3 года назад

@@GreenAquaShop But it *IS* about that. The pre-emptive comment about people suggesting cheaper ways to do it - saying it's not about the budget (on a video explicitly titled a "budget" build) is disingenuous. You sell aquascape stuff - *all* of it is luxury. (And no it's not about being 'European'. I am too.) There's many channels on RU-vid describing how to do it on an *actual* budget. You don't need to compete with them. There's absolutely nothing wrong in selling and promoting high-end stuff. Some viewers will watch and buy, some will watch and aspire. Both are fine. It only becomes problematic when you do a "budget" video, then moan about those who might suggest a cheaper alternative, and underlay it with a song about money not being everything. It's quite simple to avoid annoying those viewers - just don't use the word "budget". It's just not what you're about. And that's fine!

It makes more sense in the long run to buy decent soil and substrate from the beginning - and of course as many plants as you can afford because you can add more plants and livestock later on in the life of the tank.

@kdavis7917 4 года назад

Low budget, high budget doesn’t really matter what you put your hands to work with, it always turns out beautiful. I understand your frustration when people are always talking about money. I think they forget about one main thing: it’s not about money! This is art, it’s creative and it’s the pleasure of creating something from your own imagination. The pleasure you get from creating your own aquarium. For me, that’s what it’s all about. The hobby and all the joys it brings. If money is an issue for you but doing something like this is what you truly believe you want to do, then wait. Save some money and proceed when it best fits you. Instant gratification isn’t something that come with everything. Even tho videos look easy, theres a lot of work behind them. And it takes a lot to work to reach a skill set such as his. Maybe people should stop talking and listen? Might help. ☺️

Of course, in my opinion, it is not a cheap hobby, but it is not enough for you to have a lot of money.it is very important to have the aesthetic eye as you have (green Aqua). It is possible to make amazing designs in a low budget as in the example in this video. Thanks again for sharing such beautiful designs and ideas with us. I want to visit you as soon as possible for seen those beauties with my own eyes

@GreenAquaShop 5 лет назад

You are welcome to visit us any time Vedat Bozok, and thanks for your kind words. I would actually think that with some inspiration almost anybody can do really-really nice aquariums. Even like with trying to copy someone else's work. I've certainly done it before, and it did not turn out like the original at all, but then I had something to start with.

@RainyHopes 5 лет назад

Love the video. 300 euros is a good price for a starter tank. I am curious what the cost was after you rescaped, though. How much more?

@GreenAquaShop 5 лет назад

About 25-30%? Approximately. Did not count the plants.

Great Advice for some one who wants the 1st budget tank! But the main message was put across. save your money , plan ahead get good soil and plants! the foundation is key! and don't forget if you use wood... make sure you tie it down to rocks or soak it until it doesn't float :P Wonderful witty informative content as we have grown to expect! and lastly... to all that may read this... watch it 4K Balaz's really shine at 2am

@@BoguZzNL I didn't just throw a tank together. In my opinion I think my aquascape looks better, but maybe I'm biased. Either way you can achieve similar quality for 1/3 of the price or less. I collected my rocks from a nearby lake. The only things I spent money on was a £15, 10 gallon on sale (which I took the black boarders off), £15 heater £15 aquasoil, £2 playsand, £10 spiderwood.

Sorry to hear that Thomas. We always suggest everybody to get the best quality in filters they can, because usually it's supposed for last for a long long time, and price differences does not really matter when we are talking about a filter-lifespan of 10+ years. But leaks and faults matter.

@BrljoMrljo 5 лет назад

I have to agree. This is misleading title, ADA is expensive. period. So if he would like that we do not comment price, please do change title (I do not want to argue, just noticed this detail). I have 30 Liter tank, Nigara 190 filter (hang on), 2 Orion LED clip lights, one nice piece of wood and loads of plants. Along with lot of exchanged plants due to me experimenting, I did not come even close to price of this tank. SO now on setup, I like general idea with loads of wood. I already see that with time you can replant new grown plants and add even more plants with no new expense. Subbed too btw :)

@thomaswolsey2319 5 лет назад

@@BrljoMrljo ADA substrate + Eheim filter is more expensive than all the stuff that i use in my 10 gallon planted tank.(including water conditioners, tests and liquid fertilizer) The fish and plants dont care if most of my stuff is from china. *The guy is just trying sell his spensive stuff.

@virusgaming5928 2 года назад

Hi Balazs, I have just started to put together a set-up on a budget. But the way i budget is to buy a piece for the set-up each month and get the better quality end set-up. I got tank and filter in month one, then substrate and hardscape in month two. Once i had these i designed a hardscape layout and filed tank with water a started a dark start to cycle the set-up. I then purchased a light and plants in moth three which came as the tank completed its cycle. I then drained the set-up and planted the tank and filled with fresh water. the forth month I purchased a clean-up crew and month five my fish. I found this the best way to get a decent set-up on a budget.
