    Greetings from Costa Rica.

    This is a new proyect for me, ive never done an iwagumi styled aquarium, ill like to hear some opinions, it doesnt matter if they are good or bad,,, is better to know if im doing something wrong before i get it started..
    Today i just got an empty fish tank.. the things below are the ones im thinking on buying this week.


    -Proyecto: iwagumi
    -Dimentions:120 x40 x50 (64 gal)
    -Light: 2 HQI lamps of 105 W ( I saw on intenet that with HQI u just need a lamp every 60 cm)
    -CO2: Automatized co2 injector with ph regulator
    - Uv canister Filter up 150 gal
    -Substrate: Homemade : Natural clay, black soil,( in costa rica we dont have any commercial nutritive substrate) ( this 2 ingredients are mixed up for a 1 inch layer,then a 1 inch layer of river "bed" or sand and a 2 inch top layer of river gravel.
    -plants: Hemianthus callitrichoides(80% of the tota lplanted area), llilaeopsis novae-zealandiae.(15%)
    **Floating plants (20%)y hygrophila sp(5%)** This ones will be remove later on after they sucked the excess of nutrients
    Water changes of 25 to 50% are going to be done weekly.
    costarican water temperature is 25 ºC (77ºF)

    Im triying to have it all ready to start during next week..
    Thank you very much for your patience, and i apologize for my bad english

    PURA VIDA!!
