Description by Pedro Rosa:On June 30, 2012 i made this aquarium that was planned for some time. I still have Valley Roots of 320L (which can be seen here). I decided to invest in an ADA Cube Garden Aquarium 60x30x36, extra-clear glass with a ratio of 1.6 vision. Very expensive stuff but with exceptional quality. In the video I have some pictures of the details of the tank. The idea I had for this assembly was: "A sort of Iwagumi". A "sort" because I do not want to restrict to the rules but do something similar.It has the usual rock, carpet and plants. I used sand "La Plata Sand" from ADA in the front to form a "kind" beach wrapped in a cliff formed by the rocks. Behind, i used Aqua Soil-Amazonia and plants: Eleocharis sp. Mini for the "carpet" and behind Juncus Repens (right and middle) and Cardamine lyrata (left). After 7/8 months i replaced Cardamine lyrata by Pogostemon stellata and Juncus Repens by Rotala Macandra Japan. The stones are Maple Leaf Stones. It is a beautiful stone. By min. 41:54 Video can be seen in close-up detail some aquarium rocks and the beautiful Maple Leaf Stone. They are extremely lightweight and breaks very easily. They must be thoroughly washed to remove the "dust" orange.
Enjoy the video!
Thanks!
