Hi,
First blackwater try for me, tired of all these fancy but non natural looking aquascapes, so I made this.
Had a aquael shrimp set 30 for my birthday last year, so tank is 29x29x35cm.
Added a black back foil, because that’s what you want.
Throwed away the original led and went for a new Chihiros Tiny Z light spot.
Using a pat filter and a small heater that came with the set.
Hardscape is done with talawa wood , various gravel and sand, a little bit of soil in the back just to keep the parameters acidic since I’m using tap water. I use catappa leaves too.
First things first the hardscape itself:
To be continued, cheers!
Edit: this journal is down: I had many issues with the livestock in the setup, probably due to overstock and too small filter+ lack of plants, I don’t think I’ll do another blackwater style again. Thanks.
