I hope by documenting Mother Nature, you can appreciate its beauty and be inspired by it!
My growing iwagumi obsession..
The iwagumi style is growing on me (figuratively). I love how it brings a sense of zen and minimalist style to the layout. Sometimes less is more.

Alongwith rbg we cant save the white light and k values as per required in automation mode. Is it normal? Please answer
I really love the lion king so much. Btw this is so smart to create an aquarium base off the lion king. The only thing I suggest is to put african cichilds just to make it a lion king tank theme.... You know in underwater
❤❤❤
Looks great mate! thanks for the video
❤❤❤😊
Herşey p kadar doğal ve güzelki
Çık güzel bir İwagumi akvaryumu olmuş. Emeklerine sağlık Türkiye'den selamlar.iyi hobiler dilerim.
It was a nice sharing my friend, greetings from Turkey.
Thank you my friend for your kind words 😁
Güzel yorumdu uğur, gerçekten güzel bir İwagumi olmuş.

what is the year later follow up? did it last 8 months as you said?
I am interested too
I decided to take chance and I got it. The quick review.. its ok. Does not produce enough co2 for my 15 gallon aquarium.
UG is such a cool carpeting plant i love it nice tank gud video
Hi, what filter media did you used?
Aquario neo media soft
Great video! I believe that UG is so sensitive to ammonia because it is carnivorous. Terrestrial carnivorous plants are known to grow in nitrogen defficient soils, hence they get their nitrogen from insects instead. I am no expert in this topic, but seems logical if this is why UG don´t like ammonia spikes. It´s an interesting topic for sure.
Chihiro should have put the set screws for the arm extensions on the tip if the light to make it easier to adjust while over the tank.
No problem so far ?

Where am I gonna find those rocks
Is this good for discuss fish As a replacement for tanning light
Awesome scape! I'd like to set up something like this for a long-term tank - assuming that all conditions are met, do you think I can keep UG scape for years to come? Or would they struggle after certain periods of time?
Thank you. As with all carpeting plants, as long as there is enough nutrients in the soil and they are trimmed timely, I believe you can keep them running for many years. You may have to refresh the soil every couple years and replant. But as seen at ADA gallery it is definitely possible, and in fact an artform!
@@scaping.architect thank you for the response. A few questions, if I may, as I’m fairly new to this: 1. Does refreshing mean I’d need to add a whole new soil? Can I use root tabs instead? 2. I thought UGs don’t need that much of a nutrient, and in fact heard that use of nutrient-dense substrate or fertilizer should be prohibited. Is this not true? Also, wouldn’t this mean that UG carpets won’t need the soil refresh?
1. Refreshing can mean both. Depending on the condition of the soil. After 1 year or so the soil granules still hold their shape (round balls) but start to lose their nutrients. You can add root tabs to replenish. But after several years the soil balls itself start to break down into dust/ mud. This is where it becomes problematic where the soil is no longer having oxygen and has become anaerobic. You want a good level of oxygen and circulation through the soil. 2. UGs growing conditions are actually quite broad and can adapt to either lean dosing or nutrient rich dosing. It is a myth that it has to be in nutrient poor conditions. I initially learned about this from Dennis Wong , 2hr aquarist blog. In my experience I grew the UG just fine with all in one ferts that contain nitrates. So while the UG can grow in any nutrient condition, as mentioned above if the soil has fully broken down into mud, then you should consider replacing the soil and replanting the UG for the above reasons. Hope that helps 😁
@@scaping.architect thank you so much for the detailed response! I never check youtube notifications so I didn’t know that you gave such a thorough reply. This helps so much :)
Can you use Red Sea tubing? Anyone try? Similar tubing hose but better holder at the tank
Insane 👌👌
Hey! What was your light setting for this tank size?
Hey - I think it was 50% all channels
What is the kelvin range of this lamp? What‘s the lowest and what‘s the highest?
3000-13000K
How often did you do your water changes and how many percentage of water were you replacing during those 5 months? This is an insanely amazing tank and UG care!
50% weekly water changes 😁
Sweet 👍

TIL, SAAC accept works submitted for IAPLC. nice to know
Could you please do a PAR test of the WRGB Slim 2 series ? The PAR data for the Slim2 series is not yet available on the Chihiros official website. Thank you.
looks nice to use instead of having to crush aquasoil! How is the bond compared to using cotton ball and superglue?
Yes I’m quite impressed. The bond is really good, and cures within seconds. It does get a bit Smokey as you can see so be careful. I do like that with the right Color you don’t need to sprinkle soil over the cotton
Very nice mate, cant wait to see this one planted. Some things just dont need to be over complicated and simple does not mean easy :)
Yes I agree, and I think it’s the simple ones that keep me intrigued for longer. Odd !
@@scaping.architect I probably should listen to my advice as tried Indonesian forest style which I thought would be easy but it was a challenge 😀
Subscribed! Nice one mate!
Thank you Jack, I’m a huge fan of your work too 😁 subbed to yours too 👌
@@scaping.architect my guy! Thanks 🤩
Amazing! keep up the hard work! I was wondering if you use any co2?
Thank you. Yes I do use co2 for my tanks😁
@@scaping.architect can’t wait to see the next episode! Will you be adding fish and stuff?
Thank you! Yea I will !
@@scaping.architect im excited to see what fish you add! will you be explaining why you picked certain fish
@@scaping.architect hey bro i have a question! is fine gravel alright for top layer? can it take in waste and make it into nutrients for the plants or can sand only do that?
Absolutely love it! Can't wait to see your plant choice!
Cheers mate! Excited as to plant as well 😁
Why don’t you have more subs!! High quality content
Thank you! Maybe just the algorithm.
So beautiful. Would you recommend the dry start method for carpeting plants and avoiding algae?
Dry start will allow your carpeting plants to fill the scape faster as they have more access to CO2. Indirectly it will reduce chances of algae as you will have more healthy plants to begin with 😁 so I think depending of the species sometimes it’s a benefit to dry start
hi, please help, how to prevent aquasoil back slop from sliding in Dutch aquascape?shall i put plastic sheets for example or no need for thats.
Yes you can put some plastic sheets in the soil to act as a retaining wall. Just bury it completely so you don’t see it 👍
God I’ve been wanting to build terrariums vivariums and all of the sorts for so long I just don’t know where to start
you're getting tanks sponsored with 3k subs how
@toxiccity just lucky and blessed. Grateful Oase Australia values my work. Also it’s actually 2.6K subs. Not 3k ✌️
@@scaping.architect Thats awesome i hope you continue to grow i subbed
Look at all those toys! Who's a lucky fella?
🙏🙏😁😁
May be a stupid question, but what did you use to tie the excess cable? Was it just a velcro tie?
Yes Velcro ties 👍
@@scaping.architect thank you so much!
Great aquascape and I wanna try this at home, what light, and is co2 mandatory?
Nice one! Light is ADA solar RGB. Co2 is mandatory to get plant health at this level.
Looks amazing 👌. Can I ask what's the wooden base the tank is sitting on? Did you buy it somewhere or build it yourself, i think it looks great.
Thank you! The wooden base I built myself. Jsut simple plywood board from the hardware store😁. I also put a couple of coats of varnish to protect it
If a little part of the jello brakes apart and goes to the surface, will it effect the co2?
What size is this, 30cm?
45cm
👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
This is a masterpiece! I wish my tank would look half as beautiful
It’s a simple tank and I’m sure yourself and anyone can replicate it 😁
Really nice scape 🤍 Truly enjoying it..
Enjoyed this discussion of Iwagumi. Nice vibe, cool story and dialogue. Also it didn’t feel like you were bragging about the fancy equipment and kept it humble for those of us who can’t yet afford that stuff but would love to have it. Cool to see you reuse the soil too!
Thank you for the kind words 😁
I was saving my pennies for the purpose of purchasing this light... I almost ordered the thing until I happened to stumble upon a video that explained in very few words; this light too can cause algae growth!! Wooaaaa! I think I'll buy a car instead!
whatever light if its not used properly can cause alage
For 40cm tank, C2 RGB or WRGB slim are better ?
Have u bought ? How was it ? I have a 40x40x40 cm
@@Siva-vservc bought a WRGB2 - 30cm size. I think it's much stronger & broader light but C2 should be pretty much enough and more compact size.
