🪵 Tank 1 – Arc Driftwood (Work in Progress)
This tank is still in its early stage, so the layout looks a bit scattered—and that’s intentional.
The plants are temporarily spread out while they recover and adjust. Once they stabilize, they’ll be transferred to other tanks or repositioned for a cleaner composition.
The stone sitting on top of the driftwood isn’t decorative—it’s there to hold the wood down while it waterlogs. New driftwood naturally floats, so this is a temporary fix until it stays submerged on its own.
Right now, the focus here is plant recovery and system stability, not final aesthetics.
🌋 Tank 2 – Lava Rock Betta Setup (Low-Tech)
A simple low-tech setup built around lava rock and plants.
No heavy equipment—just relying on plant mass and balance to keep things stable. This kind of setup works best with controlled feeding and patience.
Clean, minimal, and focused on keeping a natural feel.
Tank 3 – Semi-Iwagumi (Balanced System)
A semi-Iwagumi-inspired layout using Seiryu stone as the foundation.
This tank is currently the most stable—plants are established, and livestock (shrimp and guppies) are doing well. Fast-growing plants help maintain water quality while the system matures.
Simple structure, but balanced and functional.
Tank 4 – Jungle / Propagation
This is a propagation and grow-out tank, so it’s intentionally dense and a bit messy.
The goal here isn’t looks—it’s to grow and recover plants before moving them into other setups.
The cloudy water is part of a temporary bacterial bloom, which can happen when the system is adjusting or after changes. It usually clears on its own as the tank stabilizes.
Think of this as the “plant workshop” behind the scenes.
All tanks are at different stages—some are for display, others are for growth and recovery.
Aquascaping isn’t always about a perfect final look. A lot of it happens in the background—adjusting, stabilizing, and letting the system mature.
will add either Chili Rasboras, Phoenix Rasboras and Rummy nose
once I found a seller near Nueva Ecija.
