  • First iwagumi attempt (fail) decided to try bonsai aquascape.

    Well I decided to take down my planted tank and try an iwagumi style tank. I may stray a lil from the traditional iwagumi but I'm using it as a general guideline. I went to Living earth technology today and got hooked up with some free stone. Not exactly sure what its called or if I should use it but I wanted to get yalls opinion. I'm gonna be using black substrate and planting dwarf hair grass. I think the stone may be a little too red or brown for a black substrate Idk.

      I like the look of that stone and it will make your Iwagumi stand out and be different, I'd say go for it and if you dislike it then you can always swap it out for something else...

                      Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
                      Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

                            DHG will completely take over in any substrate.

                              I've looked all over the web and can't find any. I may just sell what I have and get the brown kind.
