I have recently added a third tank to my collection with all ADA products just to see if it is really better. So far I have the hardscape the way that I want I think, but I am open to suggestions. Have a look at let me know what you think. Also, ideas for plants??? This will be an iwagumi setup so I was thinking HC, glosso, or
Utricularia graminifola. Suggestions???

Kind of looks like a hairgrass or HC type of tank to me with some dwarf Rasboras swimming around

Oooooh....I thought you got the Mini S. This tank is friggin sweet! I might have to get one now.

Did you order the rocks with the tank or just find them?

How about riccia? You've already got the good stuff I gave you from Roy Deki and plenty of riccia stones to cover that area.

What are you doing about CO2?

Looks sweet so far!! I can't wait to see it planted. What kind of lighting are you using? That fixture looks pretty sweet based on what I can see of it.

I was planning on just using excel for C02 unless you have a better idea. The rocks I got from Dave's place in West Chester. I was able to use a chisle to get them into smaller pieces since he currently only had to big pieces to chose from. The riccia is an option but I found someone on APC that has Utricularia graminifola but wants $50.00 for enough to cover this tank about a sandwich bag full. Not sure if this is a good deal or not. Sounds pretty expensive but I think it would look cool. So at this time I am still thinking about it. Dave, told me the rock came from Texas. I would love to get more, so maybe we can talk him into buying some more if anyone is interested. It is a cool looking rock.

The lighting is an ADA mini S lamp. I know it was expensive but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and I wanted to have a total ADA tank setup.

That rock isn't ADA...........

I'll have to stop by and see the rock for myself to see if I'd be interested, as well as the tank. Maybe I can move the printer under my desk and put the cube on top, light it with a few LEDs. Tax refunds are coming soon!

As for CO2, you can get 2.5lbs CO2 tanks for about $35. If this is in the same room as the 30gal, you can get a splitter. John N is selling them in the buy and sell forum. Good stuff and very easy.
