ADAnew90cmADG installation - Aquascaping

jsenske · 04-02-2007, 07:08 AM

This is one of 2 new ADA systems we recently installed. This 90cm is in an a private office. The client wanted full, true iwagumi style, very simple and peaceful. It was my pleasure to provide such a layout.
This shot is on day 3. Not sure about fish just yet, but have a few weeks to ponder that.

Sweet layout Jeff! Is that the sponge rock from Nepco?

jsenske · 04-02-2007, 07:17 AM

Thanks John. No, it's that same rock we use all so often. After w few months it gets a real nice algae patine to it and is quite pleasing. Luis has used this quite a lot too. I have a 120cm I plan to shoot today that has this same type of rock several months aged in it so you get a feel for how much it changes over time. I will post that tank asap, along with several other new installation MIke and I have been working on/just installed. We have really had our hands wet lately.

I want to go to Texas to get those rocks . . . lol

Don't they get a nice green color in some of the layouts?

Steven, indeed they do. I will post this 120cm with some of this rock really well aged to give a nice impression.

I'm just wondering if you go through algae outbreaks when starting Iwagumi tanks?

Oh-- sorry. Those take some time and I was not able to do a proper set up in the person's office to get a quality shot yet. Plus the tank is just days old, so there's no much to see yet. I wll get a full tank shot as soon as the situation permits though.

As for algae outbreaks, I have no such problem. I change water frequently and control light and other variables. Lately I use a little Purigen in the filter which is really helping control new tank issues especially in my more minimalist scapes.

just ribbing you!

your setups are always awesome, and it's always good to see how these types of tanks are setup, especially for the new comers to the hobby.

Beautiful setup as usual Jeff. is that pendant light leaning against the wall or is it just the picture?
