Iwagumi Tank

[ian]

heres my re-hash of my nano tank after shrimp deaths, they are now in my big tank (i blamed the old sustrate). Took a hammer to the rock that was previously there. Theres a journal in the planted section, just thought i'd put it in here, as i'm quite pleased with it.

Nice tank!
Are you injecting CO2 in it?

thanks mate, i'm dosing with Easycarbo in this tank, also dosing Flourish twice a week.

simply stunning mate , im loving that . especially the rockwork. even more impressive when the smaller scale is considered .for such a small scape those rocks have real impact .

thanks Mark, can't wait for it to grow up a bit, hopefully the riccia will not outgrow the rocks.

as said before, very nice. If you see me enter TOTM month again, dont enter this......there's a good chap!

thanks dude!

it doesn't look much yet, when the Riccia starts to grow out it'll look tons better, (hopefully).

That looks very cool. I think removing the betta and having a small group of cardinals would be the finishing touch

Really nice looking tank

LOL you can't have a group of Cardinal Tetras in a 13 litre tank!

lol, thanks guys, it's only a 3g. I'm thinking of some Boras, llj has suggested them or some Normanis. The female beta is only in there to keep the filter going. She'll be going back to her other tank as soon.

Some Microrasbora species would be fine. Maybe 5 Celestial Pearl Danios?

Hi,

May I just ask what type of rock is that? It looks amazing to be fair. Very dramatic!

Thanks

JD

Thanks JD!

I got the rock from my lfs, it was the last few bits and they didn't charge me, result!

I did think it was tempered wood when I got it, but on smashing it up it's not. I actually don't know what it
is. Slobodan Lazarevic (aquascaper) uses it in a few of his scapes.
