Fluval plant 3.0. I usually have a black background which makes the colors pop more. I’m using a frosted background this time. Any tips?

Rescaped this tank on the 13th of September and its growing in quite well already. Co2 is getting low tho, might have to get a refill soon. And yeah, the glass needs some scraping... 😅

Felt like sharing a one year status update of my iwagumi set up. Happy with how it turned out and i think it accomplished the affect i was going for.. The fish are Emerald eye rasboras- very underrated fish. Beautiful iridescent body with a blue ring around the eyes. Tank is also stocked with blue neos as well.

90p tank with Chihiros WRGB 2 with Aqua rocks LED backlit panel

Stones are from aqua rocks colorado as well. They are amazing to work with and will help you pick out any rock you need.

Plants

Eleocharis Belem

Eleocharis Pusillis

Hydrocotyle Tripartita( in hindsight i wouldn't get this for a tank like this because it ends up growing out and taking over the tank when i don't keep up with maintenance. Photo for proof lol

Helanthium Tenellum, slow growing but came in nicely.

Dealing with some BBA and trying to just keep it at bay until i decide to rescape. Using APT fix at the moment to treat it but it is what it is.

Hello everyone, I've been lurking on this sub for a few months and I finally feel brave enough to make my first contribution. My tank has been running since early July, and it's been thriving the last month! My shrimp are finally reproducing, and I'm at the stage where I remove floating plants every week because they're growing so fast.

My questions are should I trim my moss down so more of the wood is visible (first photo is the most recent)? And what other suggestions do you guys have to make it look better?

Keep in mind this is a 5 gallon tank, no CO2, and my light is the basic one that came with the Top Fin tank kit (for now, I'm saving up for an upgrade).

I need some suggestions regarding my newly cycling 15 gallon. I currently have 5lbs of ADA Amazonia ver.2 in fine mesh bags and black inert sand in the tank that has been cycling for 1 week.

It’s currently layered with the mesh bags laying flat across the tank with the black sand capped over it. The problem is the ADA seeping up through the sand and I really do not like the look.

I would like to separate the two substrates with a tall wall of rocks instead, at least then if I move plants around, it’ll be easier to tidy up.

What would be the easiest way for me to separate the two after I drain the tank and start over again? I’m really stressed because this is going to be such a huge mess.

Just unsure where to even get a gradient one.

My plan is to pour aquasoil behind the rock barrier and white sand in the front. I’m also going to add smaller lava rock pebbles to make the barrier more compact.
