Chiemgau

[J-Bob]

Hi there!

I’ m Jakob from Germany and this is my first post at ASW!

I would like to show you my finished layout 'Chiemgau'. It was my first real aquascape and ranked #15 in the standard category of the German Aquatic Plant Layout Contest (GAPLC) 2013. I hope you can see, that I got inspired by the German Alps ;-)

I started it in November 2012 and it was running for about 10 months.

Here are some facts:

Tank dimensions:

- LxDxH 60x45x45cm

Volume:

- 121.5l

Tech:

- 121.5l GlasGarten tank

- Eheim Ecco Pro Filter 750l/h

- LED light (from aquascaping company; designed by Jurijs, purchased at my local aquascaping store)

- Pressurized CO2

Hardscape:

- Approx. 20kg Seiryu Stone

Substrate:

- ADA Power Sand

- ADA Aqua Soil New Amazonia

- ADA Mekong Sand Powder (for the path)

Plants:

- Hemianthus Callitrichoides

- Glossostigma Elatinoides

- Eleocharis sp. 'Mini'

Invertebrates:

- Neocaridina Davidi

- Caridina Japonica

Fish:

- Rasbora Espei

- Otocinclus Affinis

This is the final shot for the GAPLC2013:

And this is the evolution of the scape:

After a few months I tried to further improve the layout by adding additional rocks in the back. I think these changes signifianctly improved the scape.

I hope you enjoy it and please tell me what you think!


Best Jakob
