Iwagumi Dry Start: Monte Carlo Planting (TIME LAPSE)

Check out this video of me plating Micranthemum (Monte Carlo) into my newly scaped Iwagumi layout. This is my first attempt using the Dry Start Method! Follow my channel to see weekly updates!

I’m 3 weeks into the dry start method of growing Monte Carlo and I’m getting some leaves going brown. Why is this happening? I’m allowing fresh air to enter tank for 5 mins and then misting then closing plastic film wrap over tank and leaving light on for 12 hours daily. Also using ADA Amazonia soil but not using CO2 system as yet.

I know I’m late but have u figured it out??

@@camdenf9165 yes, took me around 3 months but all good now. I have a nice thick lush covering of MC in my nano planted shrimp tank and without using any liquid or injected CO2. Just using a very good Dymax LED light.

Looking forward to more updates on this. By the way do you keep shrimps ?

[@gabesaquarium2603]

Highlands Girl I did keep shrimps in my old tank. Not sure if I’ll have them in this one. I may have some Amano shrimp. Not decided

Hi, anyone can tell me the name of the white material used for the division?
