The Single-Plant Iwagumi: A Stunningly Simple Planted Aquarium
ฝัง

- Tommy does what He does best: a simple iwagumi planted aquarium while teaching you how to achieve a stylish minimal, clean look and what to keep in mind when using Micranthemum callitrichoides 'Cuba' as a carpeting plant.
Tommy, the host, is an experienced aquascaper who favors the Iwagumi style and prefers working with rocks over wood.
For this aquascape, he builds a minimalist Iwagumi setup using Frodo stones, a combination he's never used before.
In constructing the Iwagumi, selecting stones that match in color and texture is crucial. Any disparity, especially in smaller setups, can disrupt the overall aesthetic.
Tommy selects Hemianthus 'Cuba' for planting, a plant species known for its pleasing carpeting effect, perfect for Iwagumi layouts. However, it's now referred to as Micranthemum due to changes in species classification.
When growing Hemianthus 'Cuba', it's crucial to maintain a water temperature of around 21-23°C and provide high levels of CO2. This plant can initially be quite delicate, but it can withstand higher temperatures once established.
Regular trimming is required to prevent the Cuba carpet from getting too thick, which could lead to the plant floating up or yellowing at the bottom
After a couple of weeks of setting up the aquascape, we plan to introduce Sundadanio axelrodi fish into the tank.

nice scape, it’s incredible how much a few rocks can transform a tank. ❤
Can't ever get enough of Tommy! So talented...so inspirational. THANK YOU!
I've watched u over the years grow from good to great to in my opinion one of the top elite aquascapers ...specially with stone.....u continue to inspire my friend thank u!!!
I love Iwagumi, especially this setup, and fishes are really good, Thank you, Green Aqua, for this video
This hardscape is incredibly beautiful! Congratulations!
Great Video. Tommy's scapes and the little tips and explanations are very helpful. The use of that bold rock is very nice...
The IAPLC needs to have a separate category for Iwagumi tanks. Though minimal, Iwagumi is just as beautiful and equal to the complicated aquatic plant layouts we've become accustomed to. Iwagumi was Takashi Amano's vision and we must never forget. You are a young and gifted sensei, Tommy. Love your work. ♥
I love iwagumi tanks ❤, they are just so great
Excellent as always.
Simple and Nice
Simple but beautiful!
Thanks, Tamás!
Keep it simple! It looks great
i like it❤
Nice scape simple, perfect
Nice work Tommy! I knw you love that style, love the hardscape! Thanks Tommy!
Beautiful 😍
Beautiful carpet !
Türkiyeden selamlar başarılarınin devamını diliyorum.
You always make this look so easy😂 You are so talented! You always do a beautiful job even when you step outside of your comfort zone, but these deceptively simple iwagumi scapes Really show off your skills!
Rzetelne i sprawiedliwe akwarium boże ogółem.
Wunderschön ❤
Really nice scape. I got inspired by your build and have build a iwagumi in a 45P which looks pretty similar to this one but I covered the rocks in kedagangs which looks just stunning
Perfect
Nice
I love these kind of single plant scapes.
I recently build one with Glass as the hardscape. It came up really, really stunning. Until Disaster stuck! 😅
i may have to try this for a new project
looks cool
De bien bons conseils dont je prends note pour mon projet en court avec cuba 👍🏼
How do i get the backround to look like that, do you have a link to the backround paper and lighting method?
Would love to see an update video on the tank in the hotel lobby in Tokaj!
I think the Axelrodi Rashbora needs dense vegetation but it seems they are doing okay. Great scape Tommy!
Lovley build. I always thing that a type of Danio is perfect for these types of scapes as there is no cover for fish to feel secure. The Danios can adapt to the rock I think better than others - though I suppose they are jumpers.
Lovely. I have all of this equipment and none of your skill. Love the green aqua crew and all of your work.
Anyone know if dry start would be a better method to get the carpet going for cuba?
Hope you do a iwagumi when you come to horizon aquatics 😊
Great setup Tommy , Question ?? How many Black Neon tetra would you add to a ADA 60p please , no other fish , just 10 Amano shrimp and 20 crystal red shrimp , thanks guys 🤝🤝🤝💐💐
Here you're running 20x\h filter and on a different 60p iwagumi a year ago you ran ada filter that does like 5x. What setup works better?
(I have a fluval 406 (20x) or a tidal 35 (7x hob) to run on my 70liters iwagumi, not sure which to go with)
An Iwagumi scape is always beautiful but way to boring for my taste. Thanks for all the awesome free content! 🙏🙏
Cuba is so nice , i have a thick carpet but full of Cladophora and all over my tank, so sad, don't really know what to do
hy Tommy.what ferts did you use in this tank?
Can power sand be re-used?
brilliant. but how did they make that background in the aquarium?
greetings from Mexico.
ADA light screen. Of course you can diy yourself with leds etc etc.
👍
Tommy, I think you need to start using Dragon Stone. Come on you can do it! Say it with me.... IWAGUMI Dragon Ohko Stone!
How long can grow up whole piece
I actually did a dark start while also changed water every other day for the first 2 weeks, so that the ammonia is not so high that it impedes the beneficial bacteria from growing and establishing (not sure if the impeding part is true or not)
And yes it does significantly minimizes algae growth other than the usual brown diatom and green spot algae

Que plantas son
amazing tank ruined by having the return right in front of the main stone. tiny details matter.
