The Iwagumi 
In Naturaquaristik, so the Aquascaping is the style of Iwagumi an essential means Bestandteil.Übersetzt Iwagumi stone formation (Iwa = stone / rock, gumi = Formation / Group) , so you can imagine already that are used in the Iwagumis only as decoration stones, roots or the like have no use. This style comes from the Japanese garden art . There, as well as a whole in Aquascaping, play the primary role of the stones in the design, because the number of stones and their positioning are the main elements of this style. However, there is not only a kind of Iwagumis, but a multitude, but all radiate from the simplicity enormous peace.
As the most important part of the positioning and selection of the stones is the Hard Cape (the construction of gravel and decorations) a huge part of the layout. The different styles thus differ only by the different arrangement and Number of bricks.
An often-used style is the style Sanzone. This is freely translated three towers (San = three, zon = tower), so you can already think that there are three main pieces. The arrangement of the stones comes from the Buddhism, so it is probably that the stones are also known as Buddha. The central stone, which should therefore also tear the spotlight on himself is, chuusonskei (or the Great Buddha), the other two hot kyoujiseki (or secondary stones). Since the chuunsonskei attracts our attention, he should be arranged as possible for the Golden radius. Most reject the kyoujiseki chuunskei to what constitutes too much.
course you have to keep not only this style. May be varied as in the number of stones . However, there are some rules to keep in mind. So always be an odd number of stones be used because it is simply natural. Even with the size of the stones is similar to Sanzone, so there should be a large and several small type. And in positioning should always pay attention to, that not all stones in a same direction. Thus, the pool would not of course act achieve what one does not want.
The planting is also an important aspect in the Iwagumis. It should ideally not be used for large plants, as these would detract from the stones. So are lawn-forming plants perfect for Iwagumis like Hemianthus callitrochoides or glossotigma elanitoides. These then form a green space around the stones. As always in the Naturaquaristik should not be used for many different plants in the pelvis 1-2 plants species act perfect. One could, for example in the foreground, a lawn of callitrochoides the back, a small needle grass plants. This achieves a nice depth. But of course looks great with a pure ground cover planted tank.
For the Iwagumibewohner actually the same as always in the Naturaquaristik. shrimp are great to keep the pool free of algae and see the way out too great. These are anyway lately become a real trend and it is so slow even a very large selection of them. But a swarm of characins, most small and Boraras or similar acts perfectly in such a basin, because the colors are just incredible, if the fish over deep green Grass swim.
for nursing is very important to keep the ground cover as flat as possible and the plants therefore always well cuts. So that the plants thrive in its full glory a good CO2 and nutrient fertilization is essential. The basin is to protect against algae attack, especially in the first few weeks very important but also very difficult because the ground cover grow more slowly and it may cause a nutrient oversupply. Thus, the first few weeks even the most critical, in which one should be extra careful. With a method that I have seen of Tom Bahrr, one can however, proceed. In this recourse in the first few weeks on emergent growth. I will try this method in another article in more detail.
can thus say that the Iwagumis can be truly breathtaking and calming pools, if you take the time to set up, using the right decor and pool maintains sufficient. But a beautifully furnished guest Iwagumi all eyes ihrerer relatives will attract.

Probably the biggest and first manufacturer primarily for extra-Naturaquaristik Aritkel, Aqua Design Amano, is now officially represented in Germany. The company was founded by the father of the ADA Naturaquaristik, Takashi Amano, and spreads slowly from around the world. The high quality of the articles with perfect workmanship that cost even more but it's just more of it. As always, one can say who will have more pay more. For even the substrate of ADA, although the comparison somewhat more expensive than normal soil, but he has, however, almost enforced all Aquascapern and despite the high price even more often used here in Germany.
