    Dont trust mizuworld.

    Neondagger ordered a lot of Kurokinryu from them and they sent completely different rocks.

    They are also almost impossible to contact.

    Re: Rocks for Iwagumi

    Hi guys ..

    I would very much want to do up a Iwagumi setup for my next project after my crs tank . Hence doing some research on it .. I saw some nice display like Shadow display pic ..

    My question is to achieve that

    1) Do i need CO 2 ? I had a chiller and T5 light. Can i do without it ?
    2) Can i replace HC with other carpet grass as i heard it is very hard to maintain
    3) Is it doable in a 2 feet tank
    4) Do i need to put fertilizer as i saw some experts did put their own DIY substances in while some use ADA soil only
    5) How to prevent algae growth or small pests growth in such beautiful scape

    Appreciate for some advices so that i can plan well before i jump straight to it .. Thank you

    1) Depends on the plants you have. It is advisable. If you want, DIY.
    Having a chiller is good to maintain the temperature in your tank. I would love to own one but sadly I can't at the moment. I'm using Aquazonic T5 39W x 4. I'm trying to search for 6500k tubes. Mine is 12k.
    2) Doing online research, it seems some people say HC are easy while most Singaporeans say its hard. I'm not sure. Other carpet plants that grows like nuts is Glosso. Ask felix, he is the king of glosso.
    3) Doable in 2ft? Meaning Iwagumi? Of course.
    4) There's a lot of people who diy. Some amateur and some have vast experience. In youtube, there is this guy dustinfishtanks. He uses dirt and clay for his substrate and sells plants on the side. For noobs like me, I stick to substrate that is sold in the lfs like ADA or Gex. As for fertilizers, you're talking about sticks or liquid?
    5) Not sure. Have to read more. If you do have algae then wouldn't it be cool? You can get those bottom fish that eat algaes and snails too. =P

    Just my opinion.

    Re: Rocks for Iwagumi

    Yeap Shadow, GC workshop this Sat at 11am. Lucky next friday holiday, got time to rest.

    I think if you wanna source good ones, alert GC early so they can prepare too. The rock face, either you hate it or love it. I think the perpective of beauty differ amongst us all.

    "jialat"!! Cant stand in line this saturday. Got to send gf for medical appointment first. Almost wanted to camp on friday and wait for gc to open. Omg!! What is wrong with me and rocks?!

    Die she say she wants to follow! I hope gc's celestial pearl danios will keep her occupied as i quickly pay at cashier!! Sadly cant attend the talk though. Going to be running around singapore shopping for stuffs.

    Eheim Pro 3 250
    JBJ Dual Stage Regulator & CO2 Tank
    Diffusor & Hose
    ADA New Amazonia (9L) Normal x1
    ADA New Amazonia (3L) Powder x1
    ADA Gravel or Nile Sand (3L) - Maybe thinking of creating a "track" not sure if i can get that illusion the track gets smaller as it goes to the back
    Borneowild Balance 100g
    Borneowild Boost-P 100g
    Borneowild Bacter Crystal 80g

    Darn weather!! I was so happy that my other tank temperature was at 27.c and hottest at 28.c with fan. Then yesterday it almost killed me with 28.6.c

    I want to get rid of my bottom 3ft to something smaller and another small tank as a quarantine or just spare. Will see how. If i'm getting rid of the bottom 3ft, i' ll give away free. Anyway wish me luck. If iwagumi cant be done then its going to be iwadrift. Lol rocks with driftwood. Sigh! Cannot give up!!

    Re: Rocks for Iwagumi

    I detected someone poisoned....ha ha!

    Diffuser is selling at $8 at GC, got losta stock. I also got one last week for one of my DIY CO2 Reactor. I have twin at the moment. 1 JBL bottle and 1 1.5L bottle. Another 2 JBL CO2 Reactor standing by...Hee Hee. From what I can tell, most of the stuffs can be bought at GC, 328 or Polyart. ADA Amazonia can also be found at 328. Qianhu is the king of the place for Ehiem. See if you are interested to take a look at the new Totto filter canister at GC, can't miss it.

    I got something like 20x Lava Rocks from GC last week as well. Since my plants still in nursery, I got a lot of time to plan for 'em. There are many wood, some Iwa rocks and losta losta lava rocks. But it's a while stock last. Even if you cannot stay for the sharing session, just drop by and be there. I don't think you will make a trip empty handed back. Make sure you bring trolley...hee hee.

    Re: Rocks for Iwagumi

    Lol bro! Poison thanks to felix iwagumi and marvelous HC.

    I'm not driving. Hmm..actually for the eheim and jbl, can only think of one place in the east unless Qian Hu price is compatable. Buying the additives and stones from GC but if they have ADA sure. Not been to c328 so i' ll drop by take a look.

    So its GC, C328 maybe blueplanet(saw they have rocks, will call and ask) and then back to seaview. Maybe drop by mainland ans some of the other shops there to check things out.

    Hmm. Maybe the talk will be a good distraction for gf. While she listens i quickly make payment.

    Re: Rocks for Iwagumi

    GC got a lot of shrimps. :X CRS too...but I don't have experience in shrimps...only wood shrimp and yamatos.

    I think you will be stuck just choosing the correct rock face or wood face. Color of the stone; Color of the wood, the sexy contour of the rock/wood then turn left/right, turn front/back, frown, then look, put down then pick up again. ^_^ Oh...328 is walking distance from GC. Pasir Ris fish farm also have a lot of rocks and stuffs like that. But correct color and size might differ on your preference and the size of your tank. Do small small will be good enough. If you going for 2ft, then Totto filter is just nice. No need to go for ehiem liao.

    Re: Rocks for Iwagumi

    2 Feet tank? your fine grain will have left over.
    If for 3 feet, 1 packet of normal grain 100% not enough if you intend to have a good scape.

    Do play with the normal grain inside the tank and get a rough idea of your rock arrangement.
    Personally i won't play too much, Kiasu at heart don't want to wake Boost-P all over :P

    When you going blueplanet? Never been there before so ask me along... my number very easy to find in fourm...

    Re: Rocks for Iwagumi

    @ blue whale - 3ft bro. Once I arrive at GC, I will tell them rocks to do catwalk for me. Top 7-9 sexist gets to come home.

    @ felix, oh I have gex left overs about 20kg worth. The ADA is for the top and the powder for the icing. The additives just to try or rather add flavour to the "cake". Never use them before. Want to see the difference. As for blueplanet. Not confirm. As mention my trip on that day will be KK Hospital, GC, C328, Blueplanet(if they have rocks) and then back to Seaview. If there's time, will head down to Pasir Ris Farms (Mainland and the others opposite Erricson Pet) I wanna feed them kois again. LOL. feel like swimming with them.

    And by the way, my dad used to do plants but now with stroke don't think he can help. So the plant will be to get HC, Rotala green and red and something else to place near rocks. Not too tall.

    Oh my number 9eight triplezero 424. Muahaha Talk about coding.
