just decided to grab a 3 gallon and start an iwagumi tank with HC! heard emersed growth is much easier, so I'm starting it off emersed with a really low water level (there is a slight water level in some areas and some areas are just really moist is that okay?)
The HC i got was rescued from my LFS for 10 bucks (3 HORRIBLE pots) that were falling apart. I dont know if they will survive, but i will take the chance. I ordered more anyways.
The substrate is black sand with Florabase, and the lighting is

one of these.
25w macro-glo with 6400k Daylight
The way you can posistion it around is pretty neat.
I put saran wrap over the tank and poked a few holes (is this necessary?) to do a sort of green-house effect and keep moisture in. rocks were just random ones i found and washed :d (i was too cheap)
Tips por favor?
