    [IWAGUMI] My First Iwagumi - Juwel Rio 125 (THE END)

    Saw this tank last weekend, it's looking really good with a Staurogyne carpet. The blyxa has had a massive trim as well. I must admit I was a little distracted playing with the dogs though ;)

    Hello from London

    Welcome to ukaps :) What are you studying? I am sure your housemates don't mind looking at the tanks ;) It can be a problem if you have a water meter or you are using tons of extra electricity, housemates can get a bit narky like that. What have you got in your tanks atm?

    Pearling in hard water
