Hair grass mixed with hc and m hirsuta, c helfri behind the rock supported by blyxa or j repens.
Plants are in!
Tropica 1-2 Grow Rotala rotundifolia 'H'ra'- 2 pots
Tropica 1-2 Grow Rotala macrandra - 1 pot
Tropica 1-2 Grow Eleocharis acicularis 'Mini'- 9 pots
Tropica Rotala rotundifolia - 1 pot
I am trying to keep the plant sps. as minimum as possible. I might add Rotala green at some point if I think it will fit well.
I am little skeptical of adding stem plants in Iwagumi setup but I wanted to at least try and see if it can do this scape some justice. If not, I will probably replace it with tall hair grass like Montvidnesis or probably Parvula

Scape is progressing slowly but surely. I am thinking of making a few changes.
I was planning to keep neocaridinas in the scape so I have been using SaltyShrimps Gh/Kh+. I am planning to switch to SaltyShrimps GH+ instead. I think the plants should love more acidic conditions anyway. Do you guys have any tips on keeping
caridinas in the high tech tank?View attachment 172700
Haha! Thanks mate. 😊Never knew you were on here Siddhart 👋🏼
Nice Iwagumi, that main stone is a gem 😎
Thank you, Tim!Lovely...very well executed. Like the tension created by the juxtaposition of the Oyaishi stone with the others. Really nice use of negative space and planting too.
That is stunning! Great rockworkView attachment 178413
Current state
I completely agree. They were never supposed to be in this tank since this was shrimp only setup but I had no other tanks. I am starting a new 60p so I will add about 10 more of these and shift them there once cycled.Looks nice! Are you going to add more embers or is this temporary? Keeping 2 in a tank with no cover seems a bit sad for them.
I was less than thrilled to have Filtosmart instead of Bio Master on this scape but I haven't had any bad experience so far. In fact, I have not cleaned it since it was set up back in August and it's still working wonderfully. My only complaint is that it could use better out of the box filter media.How are you getting on with the filter @Siddy?
Is it so? My engagement seems quite bad these days so good to know that IG is still showing my postsJust found this thread @Siddy, I see your scapes on ig all the time
Thanks. Every part of me says get a Biomaster, but guessing it is far too big.I was less than thrilled to have Filtosmart instead of Bio Master on this scape but I haven't had any bad experience so far.
