Emersed aquascape - Jagunco do Monte
ghostsword:
Ok, Crazy idea, but it may work. Will be a fight to keep the algae at bay, but I am looking forward to the challenge.
The weather is picking up, so it is time to move some scapes to the garden. :)
The tank is an acrylic tray of 50cm, by 30cm by 15cm tall, so shallow.
I have purchased some EBI Gold substrate a couple of months ago from Edis, the substrate is just like Amazonia, superb.
I placed two bags of EBI regular on an iwagumi, I will do a journal soon about it, and was left with the sand type of EBI Gold. Very much like Amazonia sand, and way cheaper.
I left the soil on a bucket for two months, it froze a couple of times, and still did not crumble.
So the plan is to plant HC or hairgrass on the scape, add some pressurised CO2, light is natural light outside, and add ferts daily.
No fish, or shrimp or the like, maybe some red ramshorn snaills.

Did this one progress??

Yep, it is going still.. :) with the good weather I now have flowers, but still far away from a carpet. I am fighting the snails, there are plants that they like.. :) need a cover for this.

I am doing it emersed, the water got too hot and killed the lileaopsis. So now emersed (very wet soil) with hairgrass.
