First attempt on Iwagumi wannabe in 60x30x36

[Ingen]

Still making adjustment to it haha.

Very impressive

Finally clean up the melted HC carpet and water condition has stable down. Attached two pictures with two different background colors, I personally find the black more favorable, what do you think?

Those lava rocks with white mesh are US Fissidens, I reckon it will take at least three months for them to grow and cover the rocks completely. Planning to the one lava rock from each side and have some Eleocharis sp and staurogyne repens growing by each corner linking the foreground to the mid.

I am open to change the plant selections from background to foreground to make the scape looks better, other than the fissidens (hopefully) haha.

All suggestions are welcomed!

Nice!! i prefer the white background.
The layout of the pebbles and sand look natural...

[ltsai]

Where did you get the odd shape small pepples from?

[inrewind]

I would go for the black background. Your scape looks awesome, will look even better when the fissiden matures!

[ventisg]

Wow... Nice landscape you have there.
Can't wait for the fissden to matured.

Nice!! i prefer the white background.

The pebbles were initially just by the side of the sands, I reckon the otto, SAE and cories shifted them to position.

Itsai: I got them at Green Chapter, if I remember it correctly, you should be able to find it below the shelves where they placed all the driftwoods.

Inrewind, Ventisg: I am also waiting haha. Hopefully it will turn out alright.

Thanks. I don't usually find them at EOA, NA or C328

[ltsai]

Yeah. Found it at GC

I feel the black give the scape depth but white blends the scape well.

After contemplating for almost 6 months, I finally succumb to the poison...

How it looks on the tank:





Full Frontal View:



Aquasky 601 seems to be brighter than Green Element Evo 2ft LED visually. Have to observe how good is the Aquasky 601 in growing plants for the next weeks.

[gilch icariel]

How much you bought the lights? From where? Its really very nice!

[Dodofish]

mm. this is getting very poisonous!

beautiful scape!

[Zeonic]

Actually you should get the black mesh instead as it blends in better. Black mesh can get those use for hair buns.
I prefer the black background also. Nice work and thanks for sharing.

Please update when the fissiden are grown in

[blue33]

The light don't look bright enough to me.

[AQMS]

and the addiction begins.....
ADA aquasky - ✓
ADA superjet -
ADA CO2 tower -

The light don't look bright enough to me.

It's actually brighter, maybe cause I edited with vignette effect haha. Attached the raw footage.



gilch icariel : Not sure if I can post the pricing, best is to check with Fishy business.

Dodofish : Thanks for the kind words.

Zeonic: Agreed! I was looking for green color, but NA only carries this white filter netting. Fissidens should cover up when it mature, keeping my fingers crossed.


zerofighterx101: I honestly thought of superjet, I reckon my wife will kick me out of the house if I get another filter. Moreover, it needs a clear display cabinet to fully appreciate the $$value of the filter haha.

[blue33]

For netting to cover your stones. Go Spotlight ask for Green/Black Mosquito net, you can buy half meter or 1 meter as you like, very cheap, cut to the size u like.

[Ingen]

I find the background plants kind of messy. Any suggestion to improve or change plants?
