Iwagumi, the 4th try.

[Jozle]

I'm going to make this Iwagumi successful once and for all. Past 3 tries have always ended up in failure due to lack of experience and materials.

Tank: ADA 30C Cube

Date of Birth: 4/4/2013

Equipment
-Eheim 2211
-ADA CO2 Advanced System ver 2 "Amazonia" Cartidge
-Spotlight LED
-True Lumen Pro 12.5" 8000k
-Glass Liliy Pipes
-Rush Crystal Cup
-8lbs of Seiryu Stones
-Amazonia Substrate

Livestock
-Utricularia graminifolia

Took me 5 hours to organize the rocks to my liking, plus the hours I spent wandering around my room last night. I didn't want the backscape too high like many people suggest, I preferred the scape to incline a little bit starting from the front left being the lowest and rising to the back right at a 45 Degree angle. Reason for such specific is that I want to put another cube tank side by side to it like a continuation of the scape into another tank. Well that tank hasn't been set up yet.

Looks nice. I get the feeling something is off though.

Update 4/26/2013

Spent the past 3 weeks battling some sort of green fungus that covered the entire hardscape. It wasn't algae, it was definitely some sort of fungus. Lost more than half of my UG during that battle. It took 6 amanos and 1 nerite snail to kill everything. Only other problem I have to deal with now is the damn amanos ripping out my UG.
I got a biocube stand for the tank, makes it look even nicer than the wooden chair (I do love the way the bamboo chair made it look). Just waiting on my True Lumen Pro light mounts to come in so I can mount the light. I'll be starting on the sister tank soon, the tank will accommodate this iwagumi.
