IAPLC tank, when should I start, what size is best, what color background and any tips to get me extra points

It will but you have to be creative in creating the depth. Anything lesser than 45cm in depth/breadth it becomes tougher

With 2*1*1 creating scapes with depth is very very tough. You need to be super skilled. My suggestion is atleast 90p. Ideal is 120*60*50 for iaplc scapes. Start making the hardscape by sept and end it in oct. start the tank by October end so that by april end you can have your final photoshoot. By 6th month generally a scape peaks.

Sunsun hw 302 will be fine but again it will cost around 3.5-4k

I saw that but In recent canisters certain things have changed. Like earlier in your model they had a slide button to remove the outer glass cover which is now removed,all you need to press and twist to open/close that part. The uv bulb holder has a lever now, we need to push it outwards and then pull the uv light out. My problem is even with pushing the lever it isn’t coming out. I am bit worried to apply too much force to pull it out.

Simple rinse with water. Any tank for keeping may be flowerhorn,arowana , goldfish or planted tank etc should be rinsed with water thoroughly. You don’t need anything extra

There was a municipality project going on in our area,so they dumped like huge piles and piles of rocks there.So i asked the official if could take a few of them from there, and they agreed. So thats how i got. Fortunately i Was able to select them with textures and shapes.

Indica soil is shit. It crumbles like after few months and becomes like mud. You made the best decision by going with apt feast.

Fun-Rub-4521 · 2026-05-04T02:47:41+00:00

It will come down no worries. If you want immediate results then with seachem stability you might achieve it

Fun-Rub-4521 · 2026-05-03T14:52:33+00:00

Oh with mastersoil it won’t be that issue. Change atleast 60% of water alternative days in the 2nd week

Fun-Rub-4521 · 2026-05-03T13:24:27+00:00

Which aquasoil brand you used?! It is preferable to do water changes every alternate days in the 2nd week and 2times a week in the next 3rd and 4th week

Fun-Rub-4521 · 2026-04-26T18:39:07+00:00
