    Hi David, your tank has gone through many phases and changes over a period of 2 years, have you thought of replacing riccia with moss instead? They look kind of messy now

    For the final scape, what it lacks is a focus...
    Maybe a couple of rocks at appropriate places such that it looks like the wood has fallen on the rocks will break the monotony of the green the final tank is having...

    Now the shape created gives me a sense where there is a very nice flow from the top right to the bottom and some small upslope again on the left bottom. So some rocks following that will be nice as well...

    front is HC, requires high light. Check out his overhanging luminaire can tell. 2 tubings..18w ?

    By the way, good setup. MOss maturing on driftwood as backdrop is similiar to what i'm doing as well now, though i prefer to use mesh.

    I saw you got some nice rock perviously, why now start a Iwagumi project?

    Hairgrass at the back Riccia infront, or if not, u want to do a all moss tank, if you got the time, go to suntec, go to the koi pond, there got a fish shop, that sell CRS, look at his set up then get inspire..

    Hmm i think it will be really messy if i try to start a iwagumi project now, im thinking of buying and setting up a new tank.
    i live in australia =/ so im unable to see that place, if you could take pictures that would be great.
