  • 180g WC Frontosa Mikula

    Its been a while since i've updated anything about this tank. I have had so many different scapes in the past year. I have been studying "aquascaping" for a few years now and i have finally found one that suites my needs and my fishes needs. Here are the specs:

    Tank: 180g
    Lighting: 36" Marineland LED, 36" Tru Lumen Pro 50/50 LED
    Filtration: FX-5 filled with sponges, carbon, purigen and filter floss
    Substrate: Leslie's Pool Filtered Sand (150lbs)
    Rocks: Green Canyon
    Fish: 10 WC Frontosa Mikula (3M-7F)
    5 WC Neolamprologus Leleupi (2M-3F)
    5 WC Synodontis Petricola
    1 WC Altolamprologus Compressicep Gold Head
    Water Change Schedule: 2 Water changes per week @ 75% each (its overkill, but i have a strict vision of what my tank should look like)

    Here is a shot of what my tank originally looked like when I first recieved my fish about 2 years ago

    This is one of the scapes I attempted

    And this is what I have currently. I have been studying Iwagumi styles for the past year and have picked up on it fairly quickly. Its actually not too difficult once you learn the formula and use a bit of your own imagination. This isnt "typical" iwagumi, but instead, my creative spin. Hope you guys enjoy.

              Original is my favorite, but I understand how you can want to try something different. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

                          What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.
