I have seen countless iwagumi set ups and have so far, seen none that consist of crypts. So, I decided that I'll make an iwagumi consisting of only crypts. Will be doing the scape this afternoon. Tune in for more !

will be quite hard to keep the proportions right? nonetheless, curious! how big's the tank?!
It's just a 28x30x28. Decided to do something crazy as I'm already using crypts. I used different colored rocks !.IMAG0868.jpgIMAG0869.jpg.

By the way, first time did a iwagumi like tank, so pardon me if it looks shitty

Considering the density and the fact that it's crypts...it is really gonna take a longgggggg time to lawnnnn.. Careful of algae!
By lawning you mean ? Yea, algae conquered my previous tank

Yup, the purpose of iwagumi is to lawn right? YOU probably wanna increase plant density to speed up the process. I started growing my crypts since dec, it doesn't spread horizontally xD it merely grew more stalks of leaves. I'm still waiting for horizontal growth..well, u can conquer back the algae this round!Originally Posted by TheAquarist

excuse me... what does "btm" mean....
it's beyond my personal sms lingo usage....i don't even see it being used in any of my whatsapp group...
that's why sms lingo ain't allowed in AQ.... local also don't understand, not less the global visitors...
About the rock on left, if grey would have been much better.
If from the looks the crypts are all wendtii right? they will grow tall and shadow the rocks depending on light source.. that's why most use them as mid to background plants

Looks like a cross between jungle style and iwagumi, probably can create a new style... perhaps jungle-gumi?

Question, where to get a rainbar suitable for a tank with a length of 28cm? Want more DO in water, also want to get rid of the oil film on the water surface

you can get longer ones and just cut them to size using pipe cutter... try y618/seaview/na
or
get a surface skimmer
or
use a airstone (when lights off)
