Iwagumi 2 ft cube

[sammajor]

This is my first attempt to set up an Iwagumi set up. It is a 2ft cube tank. Please comments and advise before proceed with further steps.

Thank You.

Very nice to me. What foreground carpet are you intending to use? Fan? Co2? I would decide all before planting.

[sammajor]

Foreground plant would be APP with co2 and chiller

Nice, though to do iwagumi in 2ft cube, especially the height. Which one is your main rocks left or right? the rocks size is almost the same

[sammajor]

the main rock is the one on the right. Is it to small. Should i change it to a bigger size rock?

[Shadow]

can't really tell because can't see the whole tank. The 2 rocks on the left look as if the same rock and make it look as big as the right rock

[sammajor]

Maybe should take another view so that can see better. Will post later.

Another view of the rock setup.Please comments.

Your hardscape looks promising.

would be great to know where you got your rocks from !

[unpluggedmusic]

With co2 and chiller would be great! Love to see your progress in pics! I have seen but never tried APP. Will see your results and follow. By the way, your rocks arrangement's nice!

Thanks for your comment. Will not do dry start method, plant direct and fill in water.

Finalized the layout tonight. Replaced one of the rock to a bigger piece. Will post picture tomorrow.

I personally think it might be best that you have a bigger piece of rock as the main character. There isn't any piece that stands out right now. You could also try arranging the rocks to the left of the picture flatter so that they don't stand out too much. Any suggestion would be to try the DSM method. You don't have to worry about too many things in the initial phase, probably just some plant melt when you flood the tank later on but I think that is negligible. Just my 2cents.

[sammajor]

I do agree with you that there is no big rock that stands out. I have replace a bigger one on the left side. Will post picture later. Thanks for your comment.

Final layout of Iwagumi set up.

Very nice collection of rocks...all seems like one whole set!
Like the arrangements! Seems pretty packed, maybe due to camera angle...

Cheers
