Quick Aquascape - Vik 10 Gallon Aquarium - Complete Build in Description

This aquascape gets it's inspiration from a trip to Iceland one of our team members back in March. One of the regions he visited was Vik, Iceland, famous for it's basalt formations on their black sand beaches. Although we chose to forego the use of black sand, the natural formations of the Seiryu stone do a good job in mimicking the details of the basalt formations. We chose to use easier plants for this scape. Riccia Fluitans mats on stainless steel is an easy plant that you can just plop on substrate. Note that this plant does grow rather quickly, so stay on top of your trim game! We decided to fill the crevices with bucephalandra and moss. Once it's grown out it will give it an aged look. Dwarf hairgrass is a great accent plant if not used as foreground cover.

Hello, I'm currently debating getting your UNS 45U tank, but the site says it's a 9.3 gallon? Your video says it's a 10 gallon. Is this true? The dimensions of an aqueon 10 gallon is 20x10.5x12.5, where this one is 17.7x11x11

Looking forward to your response as I'm stuck between 4 tanks that have to be the max size of 20x12 at least. Thank you. ( No smaller than 10 gallons and no bigger than possibly 12 )

Am I the only one who has had the most awful experience with a sand and dirt setup? No... Just me? Ok...

That does make sense... for sure.
I'm ok with the upkeep of plants (trimming, co2, dosing fertilizers, etc...) However for whatever reason keeping dirt and sand separate is where my boundary end.

I did, however, find out that if you have larger dirt granules ( I have regular ADA Amazonia aquasoil) You can sift it out using a mesh colander.

It takes some effort. We usually just siphon the sand and replace with more sand, if that makes sense. It's the easiest way of keeping it separate.

What type of filter and heater do you use for your tanks? Thinking of buying
Team Buce Plant
Team Buce Plant - 7 years ago
For this particular setup we are using an Azoo Mignon 150. We live in Southern California, so we don't have much issues with being too cold. But if I were going to use a heater, I'd probably choose an all metal type heater.

Pretty poorly done Iwagumi. Not enough contrast between the large stones. Not enough usage of the rule of thirds. Too much stacked to the center/rear/right.

Hey Team Bruce Plant! I was wondering how many liters of substrate I would need to get for my 10 gallon tank (20.25" x 10.5" x 12.6") to grow plants such as Anubias Nana and where to get it cheaply.
Thanks in advance

Hi thanks for the comment! I agree, this is a terrible Iwagumi scape. Much like how every bonsai scape is a terrible nature style tank. However, this is not supposed to be an Iwagumi. It is inspired by a trip to Iceland, like I said in the description.
