Well, as the FOF 09 approaches, i'm doing a new tank to display. I wanted to do something that most of the public that attend wont really of seen, so i went for a pretty basic iwagumi. I'm using HC, Lilliopsis, Tennelus and a bit of moss here and there. The substrate is ADA Bright Sand] and Aquasoil Amazonia Powder.
As you can see in the steps, my plans changed half way through the setup but i thought i'd post the pics anyway. I waqs going for an island but then i completely changed course
The tank and cabinet - An Aquariums Ltd 30 x 30 x 30cm Optiwhite and White finished cabinet.
I'll be filtering it using a Fluval 105 and using CalAqua Glassware inlets and outlets
Step 1
Step 2 - Clear acrylic strip @ 30mm x 1000mm was looped and clipped into place to act as a barrier and prevent the substrates from mixing.
Step 3 - The Bright Sand is added to the outside
Step 4 - Aqua Soil added to the center
Step 5 - This is where it all changed, so, Aquasoil was added with a steep slope, rocks were added to help hold the Aquasoil in the slope and then more Aquasoil was added.
Step 6 - Start planting! This is not the finished tank, but if you wanna see it finIshed.......
