Res's 3 gal Iwagumi


Sorry it took so long to post

So all there tanks are the same sizes as the ADA Minis and are glass. All of them together brought me to $115. I got them from fishtankfactory.com. If you do buy from him tell him Neil Johnson sent you. I did have some ideas that i saw from pics but they were bookmarked on my computer that died .


3gal (12x7x9.5)


7gal (14x8.5x10)


9gal (18x9.5x12)

Default 3 gal

Ok so here is what im planning for my 3 gal

Added some rocks that i collected


Started to fill it with Aqua Soil or at least thats what i thought DOH!


Filled with AS


Put a Red Sea Nano filter on it


And thats what i got so far the light is just there temporary because that is for my 12in cube.

For the Plants im thinking of having hairgrass in the back and either HC or Elatine in the front.

But thats all i got so far. The other tanks wont be set up until later because i have no money at the moment

What a great job on the rock placement!!! Would look great with some HC! I would try w/o the hair grass first and if it needs it then add it. I think it would look good viewed from all 4 sides.

looks nice. im dying to see some different plants in an iwagumi. the HC, hairgrass combo is SO overdone. id reccomend something less common, like riccia foreground with HM in the back.

nice tanks Neil. So far you have bought 4 tanks from fish factory.Hope he gave you a discount. What happened to your cube? Your first scape looks great. where did you get the stones? how do these tanks compare to the ADA ones? LMK when your going to Pasadena TF maybe we can trade some plants.

The cube is still up just havent updated it yet. The rocks i got from temecula, i still have some more if you want them. I dont know how these compare yet. The silicone is pretty good though.
