Hi i love your work. Im in the states here. And not very many people into this iwagumi style especially here in Florida. Just one question is there any website you can recommend for me to get supplies for iwagumi thanks

AquaticDesign - 11 years ago

That's correct, I usually replant the tops, if there's room for them.

Bradley The Explorer - 11 years ago

Time to invest in a siphon tube and a bucket

andywhufcno1 - 11 years ago

Don't you have to snip the tops of them right down to encourage them too grow outwards rather than upwards? If so, can the bits that i cut of be replanted or do you chuck them away?

It's nothing special, take the appropriate length and plant it with a tweezer.

andywhufcno1 - 11 years ago

Could you give me a brief description on how you plant Staurogyne repens please? I would like a lawn effect too

is that cuba plant?

Ziabis Oh - 11 years ago

You said you planted heavy to keep away Algae, but seeing how few plants you actually put in seems so little compared to the size and amount that I have but I cannot get rid of this brown algae all over my leaves. I use CO2 and HO lights. I also use a fertilizer regimen. I just can't get rid of the algae.

Good job! It looks really amazing. :-) Are you from Germany?

A web-shop in Germany

AquaticDesign - 11 years ago

The hardscape and plants. Try search iwagumi at google.

Ike D - 11 years ago

mustafa özçelik - 12 years ago

good job

hamza8810 - 12 years ago

classic iwagumi

Using BOWL will leave a round mark on the substrate once you remove it, coz BOWL is heavier than plastic bag or paper towel. Think again.

The person in the video uses cat litter because it's a good source of iron.

Just so the plants won't dry out while I plant the aquarium.

ReptiFish - 12 years ago

why do you spray it with water before planting ? havent seen that before

aldobetta - 12 years ago

buen avance

Mandar Nadkarni - 12 years ago

Easiest way to add water to a set up is put a BOWL in the tank on the Substrate and pour water in the bowl, it will not disturb the Substrate

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

Yep, just ordinary water.

MrMATAMOSKAS - 12 years ago

what is it at 0:21 simply water?,thanks and congratulations for the video.

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

Thanks. I had it to prevent the water disturbing the gravel. I just took it out after filling up a bit, nothing complicated. I'm using just ordinary sand from a company in Sweden.

Teilaxu - 12 years ago

Nice vid, couple questions though. I am assuming the paper towel is to prevent damage to the plants? How would you take it out after? What kind of sand/gravel are you using?

AquaticDesign - 12 years ago

Thank you! Look for ohko stones or dragon stones, I got mine from a shop in Germany.
