Some of you may be familiar with my previous scape (here), well its time for a redesign.
So, the Iwagumi idea isn't going so well. First off I went to the local stream to see what I could find. Lots of rocks but the problem is that a rock that has been sitting in a stream all day is covered in algae on one site and has calcite deposits on the other. I'm wondering if they would I could scrub them clean using a wire brush, and maybe some acid, anyone any experience of this?
So I set off to the local fish shops but no luck there. I mad a real pain of myself laying out all the stock on the floor and dipping in water to see the colour wet, but ultimately I wasn't that happy, the rocks were just too small. There is one possibility with some brown petrified wood stone, and it would blend with my Malaya Aqua Soil - but I was really planning on brown.
Speaking of brown - does anyone see a problem using brown Aquasoil with a grey rock Iwagumi?
Tank is 90 long, 45 deep, 50 high. I'm figuring that the largest stone needs to be about 25cm long, does this seem about right?
Suggestions, comments, everyone please!
