Ello ello. So I couldn't stay away for too long. My first iwagumi tank failed miserably, think it was because it was in a big tank, doing WCs started to become a chore and I lost love for it.
But I'm back using my old hospital tank. Its only a 60 litre tank so doing a 75% WC only takes about 15/20 mins. I can live with that. Lol.
Here are a few pics of the tank. Running it as a low tech so just a normal LED light unit, small external filter and running no C02. Has Tropical soil in there and dosing TNC.
Then its 1st trimming sezsion and 8 ammano shrimp added
Keetchy's 60L tank of joy

Great job. Love the scape. Looks like you're using the little APS filter too? I got one as part of a deal a few weeks ago and just set mine up yesterday. I really like it on a 70L tank.

Nice one. Thanks. And yeah that's the filter I'm using. Lol. Says its good for 150 litres so works well on my 60 litre. Have just finished swapping the sponges out with ceramic bio media in bags.

So first little issue come across, scum forming on the surface. I remove the layer at the start of every WC but by the end of the 2nd day after, there's a thick film back on top.
My mate is giving me his spare skimmer lily pipe inlet pipe so I'm gonna attach that to the inlet hose to try and help with it. It gets thick really quick and isn't pretty
