Hey everyone,
Here's a little update on the Iwagumi Aquascape, it's been a few days now. I actually didn't fill it up immediately after coming home from the meeting. I ended up waiting till Sunday to fill it and set everything up. I had bought this aquarium used, and it came with a canister filter. Unfortunately, I didn't go the canister filter route, I felt like a canister might be too strong and would kick up the gravel. So I went with this nano internal filter, which seems to be enough for now. Co2 is pumping, I will probably adjust might light cycle for a bit. It's next to a window, so it might now need as much light, currently running the lights for 5 hours.
Sidenote: i forgot who asked, in reference to using acid to etch the stones, the acid that's used is muriatic acid. Here's a YouTube tutorial on stone etching
And here's a pic of the tank.
