My Aquarium Today

RISE OF THE TIGER

The scape style is called Iwagumi (rock formation)but mine is half scale Iwagumi, which only have the main stone without the supporting stone as per Takashi Amano full scale Sanzon Iwagumi.

I will discuss more on the Iwagumi style later. For now i will try to eloborate more on my current tank specification.
