I can definitely say that i am now addicted to fish keeping and aqua scaping! Managed to persuade my g/f to get a nano tank for the spare room so i can try my hand at a high tech iwagumi. Please let me know of what you think of the rock formation i made.
I played around with different ideas for well over an hour. I originally wanted to make the large stone bottom right look like a broken cliff and have the substrate backed up behind it and then cascading down to its left and have either sand or a light gravel in front of it to create a falling rock face look with a kind of beach in front of it. Unfortunately it didn't look that great due to space restrictions so i put the rocks in the most eye pleasing way i could come up with it. I'm pretty happy with it.
Tank
ADA Cube Garden Mini M: 36cm x 22cm x 26cm
Substrate
ADA Aqua Soil Powder Amazonia 3 Litres
Hardscape
ADA Seiryu stone 3KG (only used roughly 2KG of it)
Lighting
ADA Solar Mini M 27W Twin Fluorescent lamp – eBay for £175, RRP £300
Filtration
Eheim ecco pro 130 (2032)
Cal Aqua labs nano influx X1 and efflux F1 13mm lily pipes
Heating
Not going to use a heater, I figure it’s small enough that it should (I hope) stay at room temperature most of the time which ranges from 20 – 22 celsius
CO2
D-D Complete disposable system w/ 500g bottle
Glass bubble counter, check valve and diffuser from Tankscape
Fertilisation
TPN+ daily, with a weekly water change
Plants
Hydrocotyle tripartite
Vallisneria nana
Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba'
Rotala rotundifolia
Echinodorus tenellus
Also came up with a planting plan (although it looks very very messy and something a 5 year old did!). Will order the plants in a few days when im off work.
Thanks for looking
