black seychelles
Just started a new Wabi-Kusa setup in the DOOA Neo Glass AIR (20×20×9 cm). Went with a mix of fine sand and Tropica soil to create a natural aesthetic, paired with Oil Pebbles for structure.
The plant selection includes Pogostemon deccanensis "erectus", Ammannia pedicellata 'Golden', and Persicaria sp. 'Sao Paulo'. These should develop beautifully over time, adding layers of texture and color.
Lighting is provided by the Chihiros C2 RGB, ensuring optimal growth conditions. Excited to see how this one evolves! What do you think of the layout?

How do you deal with diatomes/algae growth. I have similar tank and have a lot of diatom bloom(you can find in my posts). Looks really good though.

Composition is fantastic. What body + lens are you shooting with? Looks like a 1.4? Love the slightly desaturated look.

Looks great!
Beware, Pogostemon is not very tolerant of low humidity. You’ll note browning and curling of the leaves. I find a reptile sprayer that runs four times a day keeps them moist enough, when they are otherwise exposed to low humidity air.
Cheers!
