New house, new layout, same tank. Took about a year after moving in to finally be ready to set up a new scape and this time I wanted something super minimal as far as plant growth. I wanted something that I could keep the lights on really low so I wouldn't get algae and also not use CO2. After letting the tank fill out for half a year, I realized it was 2024 IAPLC submission time, so I figured why not. My previous post with the Bonsai Tree, it turned out I never hit submit or something so I didn't even end up getting entered that year. Oh well.
I'm pretty proud of this layout, simple island layout, with rocks and the same wood I've used in previous tanks. My focus here was on ferns and buce. The fish are kind of random because I always let the kids come and help pick them out. This is actually the longest I've keep this many fish without jumpers or just some going missing.
I followed the suggestions by IAPLC and took out my equipment and also put up some cardboard to block the light. I imagine they will crap the photo before entering it into the book. I can't imagine I won't make the book again this year since I've hear previous layouts that made it that were comparable that easily made it.
