Hi everyone!

In this second half of the year I’m not thinking in competitions so let’s have fun and try new styles and improve some techniques.

In the 1st of August I cleaned my last layout (my entry to IAPLC, EAPLC and AGA 2015) and made a new one.

I saw some little aquariums from Mr. Takashi Amano in the AquaJournal magazines and I decided to make some identical layout to improve my trimming techniques with stem plants.

Four days after the initial date, I received the news that the person who inspired all my works died so this is my tribute to him!

Thank you Mr. Amano!


Here we go.

My ADA MINI M 36x22x26 with ADA AQUASKY 361

Keen to see how this goes. Please do update the thread with regular updates on growth and trim details. I'm trying to learn how to get plants to bush out too.

Very nice. Did you tear it down or any other updates?
 
This was an amazing tank.
Really good growth and nice to see a tank breaking the hardscape trend and still look beautiful.
And this is coming from someone that loves his hardscaping.
