    Jeffs 'Green Concept' (epiphytes, wood or rock for hard scape, layer of sand) is working exceptionally well based on using matrix, lots of carbon in the beginning and purigen as filter material.
    I think he has created his own style like a fotographer (or any other artist) would do to separate himself from competitors. Hats off! 👍👍👍

    YES - I love what he said about limiting his choices of wood and rock and finding a way to make it work. That is what really happens. I have these specific rocks to work with - how to make them look their best. I have these specific pieces of wood to work with - how to make them look their best. What to leave out, what to keep, where to place for maximum impact.

    I'm really loving this series of videos. The tanks are all so amazing! I have sort of been "greening" one of my existing aquariums. It's a 75 gallon with a gravel substrate. I didn't even know you could put real plants in one, so I used to have lots of fake plants, but now I keep adding anubias, and java fern to driftwood (and threw out the plastic plants). I was worried that I don't have dirt and sand in it, but now I don't feel so bad about it.

    absolutely love this video, i do however have a bit of a nitpick, and its a personal experience thing. I dont think Amano would teach it if he was not certain about it, but any time i have ever had activated carbon in my fish tanks i have had problems. In my first couple of years of aquascaping i had a HUGE problem with Green water. It happened in a season where im busy with work, and did not catch it as it started progressing. I TRIED EVERYTHING. I still have the U.V. Sterilizer i bought which was the biggest one they sold. I dosed hydrogen peroxide, i dosed seachem excel. Any small thing i found on the internet to deal with green water i had tried. On top of all the different products i had to help with it, i was doing 10 gallon water changes almost every single day, this was on a 20 gallon tank so 50% water changes EVERY day. All of it had minimal impact on the production of the green water. It got to the point i nearly exited the hobby. The water changes kept it down to where it was in its formation stage, so cloudy water but i was FED UP!. The entire time i was dealing with it, i had this nagging feeling that it was something to do with the activated carbon in my filter. I dont remember specifically why, but it was just there in the back of my mind. I talked to my LFS multiple times about it, and he was out of solutions to try, and i was at my wits end with the tank. So finally on one of my normal maintenance days, i finally ripped my filter apart and removed the carbon, replacing it with just filter floss. Then continued the regiment of water changes, and treating the water with Hydrogen Peroxide. After two water changes the water was clear, and it stayed that way. I wish i had gone with my gut feeling to begin with, because it would have saved me a lot of time and some money.
    I dont know why it worked, but it 100% did. I have not used Carbon in ANY tank since that time. I think that this might be one area of fish tank science that is absolutely ripe for a deep dive, and also is 100% going to be a controversial topic, as the actual results of using activated carbon are obviously not understood. I can though understand how having it in for the first 30 days could be beneficial as a way to absorb access nutrients, and other chemicals that might be getting added at that time. However, i have done at least 10 new scapes after having solved this issue, and none of them ever had carbon in them.
    I would really love to find someone who has done a deep dive of carbon in the aquarium.
