My First Iwagumi Set-up

[CRS Fan]

Hello fellow aquascapers. The time has finally come where I have decided to set-up my first Iwagumi tank. I have been sourcing and amalgamating my equipment over the last couple months and I am slowly piecing it together.

So far, I have collected the following items:

• 22L tank (36" X 12" X 12") - sourced from Canadian Aquatics
• 1 - Furniture quality stand - sourced through Keteirosan
• 1 - Eheim 2217 - sorced from a fellow BCA member (forgot his name)
• 20lb - CO2 tank (swapped out with Thrilla)
• Milwaukee 957 CO2 regulator/bubble counter/solenoid - sourced from Canadian Aquatics
• 1 - 39W Giessemann Powerchrome Aquaflora bulb - sourced from J&L Aquatics
• Rocks - sourced from 'secret vedor/location'

I still need to source some miscellaneous equipment to put it all together. I have not decided on the Flora/Fauna yet (but I still need time/money to put it all together)

Some pics will follow of the 'collected' equipment' !

Thanks for looking!

Waiting for the pictures! Love the idea and it's pretty interesting that all of the equipment is essentially locally sourced

Stuart, where did you get that rock from, that stuff looks awesome and i love the color...do you have anymore you would like to sell?

[CRS Fan]

I'm using all the pieces of this rock I have, but I do have a couple extra pieces of another type I have available here.

Best Regards,

Stuart

I'm sure this is going to be a really nice set up....

Looking forward to watching you work with the balance of the Iwagumi style. Great looking setup!

I only model my work after masters like yourself, my friend !

Looking forward to watching you work with the balance of the Iwagumi style. Great looking setup!

It will probably not be balanced, BUT will have similar traits. I'm thinking maybe 1 - 3 plant species. Maybe HC, UG, Glosso, Staurogyne repens, E. tenellus, or similar species. Thank you for your kind words.

Respectfully,

Stuart
