Watching this video has made the calmest I’ve been in a while

Beautiful. Loved the simplicity. The use of different plants, which all had a grassy/spiky-leaf look, made it very cohesive.

Great work (as usual)!!!

[@kevinchuang6538]

Solid work mate ! So happy I got to see this in person 🎉

[@lifewaterscapes]

that's an awesome iwagumi! im looking to do an iwagumi soon and need to decide on what plants I want to use. so its nice to see the long strap plants at the back and how they look for this style of iwagumi

[@StowerScapes]

Glad you like it! And yeah, it's a classic recipe for iwagumi having the grassy plants at the back. It's hard to beat!

Hello from my fish room channel in Chicago, where I am a subscriber to yours ... and envious that you can collect aquatic shrimp suitable for the aquarium in your backyard!

[@StowerScapes]

I'm very lucky, having access to a lot of the resources I need right on my back doorstep really makes the hobby more affordable and approachable for me!

[@LushSaltyAquariums]

@@StowerScapes Indeed! What part of the world are you in?

[@StowerScapes]

​@@LushSaltyAquariums I live in beautiful Brisbane, Australia!

This is so beautiful! I have a similar scape in a fluval spec v. My favorite build so far Edit: I, too, had some issues with giant hair grass for some reason. Has to swap out to juncus repens

[@StowerScapes]

Cheers, appreciate the feedback! And yeah, the Vivipara was growing okay, but it was definitely too big for the 60P and didn't quite match the look I was aiming for.

[@MrBarclonista]

damn this scape looks so cozy, i think i'm going to do similar for my next scape, plants and composition. i hope i able to, some plant just simply doesnt work with my water parameter.. low and high tech

[@shareehshakkir9925]

show us your backyard and the creek tooo!!

[@StowerScapes]

I'll get a video underway 👍

[@ministrinity2830]

Absolutely stunning!

[@StowerScapes]

Thank you!

[@chrishooley5977]

Nine months feels like a long time for the plants to fill out compared to other 'scapes....or am I dreaming?

[@StowerScapes]

Several reasons for this; different plants grow at different rates, this tank was planted fairly scarcely to begin with so it took a while for it to fill out, it also underwent some fairly significant changes after a few months and had to 'recover'. I would say it was fully grown in after 3-4 months, but I wanted it to look its best for the video. (And I'm lazy, and it took me a while to get around to filming the final shots 😅)
