Our first iwagumi tank

[Grapphery]

Hi everyone,

After the home is fully decorated, my husband and I decided to set up a small fish tank as an iconic piece of furniture in our home. We wanted a zen, pleasing, relaxing set up because our place was designed in a minimalist way, so we chose to go with the iwagumi style (My husband loves rock so he chose the rocks for this tank). It has always been my dream to have an ADA tank, because I was so inspired by the two talented Japanese, Takashi Amano and Shinichi Ogawa (Architect).

So here is our tank photos from setting up stage until today. It has been a month since I set this up. Hope you all enjoy it. We are open to comments and recommendations, cause it's our first iwagumi tank. Thank you

Beautiful photos. Love it how you actually compiled the pictures into one. It really makes it easier for people who are new to the hobby to set up one.

Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful setup....would love to see it 6 months in. Incidentally, I was just wondering why the green tubing instead of transparent?
