Hello Hello from Southern California

About 15 minutes ago, I was on a reef keeping forum and came across a thread that showed Hiep’s iwagumi marine tank. I followed the link that was shared on that thread and lead me here.

Hi folks, my name is Ray and I’ve been in the hobby since 2010. I love planted tanks and shrimp tanks. When the pandemic started, I joined the darkside (saltwater reef tank). Since then my planted tank has been neglected. I hope that I can find inspiration in this forum.

Hi Ray and welcome to the forum. I'm from SoCal as well. Hopefully we can help bring you back to the fresh side.

Welcome, Ray! Glad to have you on the freshwater side as well.

You're going to find that this forum is very similar to Reef2Reef except focused on the freshwater planted tank side. We are newer and the hobby is smaller but for the most part, it's very similar.

I love the aquarium. What type of stand is that? I think that's a Flat ONE light?

The triangle iwagumi design is unique. I like the fact that you thought about a focal point on the lower left. Is that a Blyxa?

Looking forward to helping you find your inspiration and talking plants with you.

All the best,

Art

Thank you!

The stand is UNS 90P stand. The light is ONF flat one+ pendant style, hanging on ONF square hanging kit. Yes it is blyxa but I’m not sure what type sorry.

What do you think of the light? I was considering it but went another direction.
