Starting to plant

Still lousy in taking tank shots

the setup with the light and stand.

I(Saintly) have decide to start another journal from my display that i’ve done for my Local fish shop. it’s another iwagumi. i’m already about 12 weeks into the display but i’ll add images as and when.

the spec

90 x 40 x 55
JBL aquabasis plus and depleted ADA AS
seryiou stone
1 x fluval 405
1 x korolia no.1
pressurised co2
2 x 39w t5

the oliver knott way i believe is as you desrcibed. it’s planted in the rockwool in small clumps. i do it different ways, but this way was quicker for the amount i used. the whole display is to make awareness and i’m taking full control over it. the staff add ferts each day and i come at weekends to trim etc…. i’m guessing but this is a week or so in to
the tanks life….

initially i had 24 cardinal tetras in the aquarium, but they were shy fish so they had to come out. no matter what we did, they just wouldn’t swim without eventually hiding in the rotala….very annoying! this was several weeks in to the scape. the rotala made a quick recovery and filled out brilliantly!….

This tank create by MIKECOW from aquagrass.com, most language in this site use chinese language then i use google translate for you convenient
