Nice hardscape

IMO it's a mountain not an Iwagumi.

Nice hardscape

Very nice, some small anubia (pangolino) or mini bucephalandra would look nice on the left and right foreground.

Photo session of the hardscape in difficult conditions.

Due to the prolonged waiting time for the filter, the tank was started with a dry start method.

The dry start method was not particularly successful. Moss started to rot, maybe I missed the right moment. In any case, the aquarium was flooded. Part of moss survived, I had to throw away the rest.

21 days after the flood aquarium looked that.

Arrangement functioned with the moss itself for a longer time. Unfortunately, the aquarium was left alone for the time of holiday. After my return I noticed one big brown raid "on everything". I thought it was the end and the arrangement couldn't be saved. However, I took up the fight. For several weeks, I tried to remove the brown coating mechanically. I planted hygrophile polysperma and bacopa australis. Plants evidently positively affected the condition of the tank. The problem with the brown coating was overcome.

Final photo:

The arrangement took low places in competitions, 66 place out of 80 possible in the EAPLC 2017 competition (nano category), 31 place out of 41 possible in the Web Aquascaping Contest 2017 contest.

A positive surprise was the place of hardscape in the TOP100 in the Nordic Scapers Hardscape Challenge 2017 (53 out of 180 entries.

There is nothing to cheat, a photo of hardscape makes a better impression than the final photo of the aquarium with water and a small amount of plants.
