Whilst I will start a journal for this tank, I am nowhere near being able to get all the equipment together currently due to the worldwide issues we are all facing.
I am keen to do something however, so have began playing around with hardscape as I have many ideas for this little tank.
The tank is a 30cm cube, much smaller than the tanks I’m used to. It is a second tank to offer me the chance to create more scapes and try new things with less financial restriction.
I have some hardscape materials hanging around, some seiryu stone which I have used for my first trial. Most pieces I have are too big or not intricate enough, however I quite like the simplicity of these two stones and can already envisage a simple planting plan for this scape so could eventually run with it. The livestock for this tank will be shrimp only.
I will be trying other hardscapes as I have plenty of time, and I may even buy some more suitable stones for a more intricate iwagumi. The choices are endless currently and I’ll add any more I create here too.
The soil is a very old bag and Ada Amazonia I had in the garage and is the large grain size. I am using this whilst trialing scapes. I have bought a new bag of powder light to use in the final set up as this will be better suited to the tiny size of the tank
Just thought I’d share my musings
Cheerio,
And how I invisage it planted.....
