I like the rock placement (and the rocks - nice find!). I think it will lose its uniform look once the tank is planted. Good work

Travis, Thanks for the encouraging words.

Week 1 Update:
Everything seems to be filling in okay, hopefully it would continue to stay out of trouble.

HC spreading

nice your hc looks like it's doing good. tank setup is real clean I like it

A small update: HC is filling in nicely and more excitingly my tank has cycled! Cardinals (59) are added in batches over a period of a week, along w/ Oto cats (10), Amano Shrimps (12), and Glass Catfish (6). I consider this tank fully stocked.

Tank on 9/26

Tank on 10/11

Great work!

I really like it, but I would throw the glosso out!

Neaaaaattttt!!!!!!

Thanks guys.

I would give the glosso a couple of weeks to see how it looks. It has just started to spread, I don't mind the height and like the contrast in leaf size from HC.

Hard to believe this is your first iwagumi design. Very nice, classic iwagumi. Beautiful.
