10g Iwagumi (low tech)

[GAhockey1992]

Finally decided to share my low tech/low maintenance iwagumi tank. Here are the specs and inhabitants:

Standard 10g
Light: clip on finned planted+
Substrate: fluorite/fluorite Red mix
Filter: internal toms filter

Flourish excel (1 cap every other day)
Aquavitro ferts

Ohko/dragon stone

Plants:
S. repens
Hygro corymbosa
Hydrocotyle japan
Dwarf onion - might remove

Fish:
Betta & still debating on a school of small tetras or rasboras
Tons of mixed shrimp (tigers $ blue variations)

Pics (after a big trim):

Looks good for a low tech setup, I don't see too many low tech iwagumi's.

Only thing I would suggest is splitting to a half capful per day of Excel, as it breaks down rapidly in our tanks. So it's possible you are only getting the benefits of it half the time.

Nicely done. I think S repens is an underrated carpet plant.
