Description:
On June 30, 2012 i made this aquarium that was planned for some time. I still have Valley Roots of 320L (which can be seen here).
I decided to invest in an ADA Cube Garden Aquarium 60x30x36, extra-clear glass with a ratio of 1.6 vision.
Very expensive stuff but with exceptional quality. In the video I have some pictures of the details of the tank.
The idea I had for this assembly was: "A sort of Iwagumi"
A "sort" because I do not want to restrict to the rules but do something similar.
It has the usual rock, carpet and plants.
I used sand "La Plata Sand" from ADA in the front to form a "kind" beach wrapped in a cliff formed by the rocks.
Behind, i used Aqua Soil-Amazonia and plants: Eleocharis sp. Mini for the "carpet" and behind Juncus Repens (right and middle) and Cardamine lyrata (left).
After 7/8 months i replaced Cardamine lyrata by Pogostemon stellata and Juncus Repens by Rotala Macandra Japan.
The stones are Maple Leaf Stones. It is a beautiful stone. By min. 41:54 Video can be seen in close-up detail some aquarium rocks and the beautiful Maple Leaf Stone.
They are extremely lightweight and breaks very easily. They must be thoroughly washed to remove the "dust" orange.
I have lots of photos of aquarium evolution:
