This month’s special feature is the “Absolutely Useful Expression Techniques,”
introducing the way of nature expression of making Nature Aquarium with many
illustrations. It intelligibly expresses the work sequence to represent the
naturalness in tank with layout materials and aquatic plants based on the
actual natural landscape. It also introduces many details of techniques, so it
is helpful to bring up the completion level of layout for the IAPLC!

——————————————————————————–[ADA View] Takashi Amano’s layout making gets a lot of views!
——————————————————————————–

ADA view distributes the videos of layout making by Takashi Amano on every
Saturday during March. And it gets a lot of views and comments via Facebook and
Youtube!
Tomorrow, the new video of W120xD45xH60cm driftwood layout making during the
Training seminar will be released on ADA view. There was a request from a
seminar participant to Mr. Amano, making the layout with a limited amount of
planting. Let’s see how he answered this difficult challenge tomorrow!

La Plata Sand creates a bright and natural ambient in a layout. The white
bright-color grain with less than 3mm size stands out in a lighted aquarium and
brings out the green color of aquatic plants.

Q) My Glossostigma grows upwards. Is it because of insufficient nutrients in
the substrate? Or is there any other reason?

A) The main reason why Glossostigma grows upwards instead of spreading
sideways is inadequate light intensity rather than insufficient nutrients in
the substrate. Glossostigma also grows upwards if it is placed in the shade of
stem plants or other aquatic plants. For instance, growing Glossostigma in a
60cm tank requires the light intensity produced by two units of the NA Lamp
Twin 36W or four units of the NA Lamp 20W. On top of this, the use of Power
Sand, a substrate material effective in providing additional nutrients, will
help the plant grow large, healthy leaves.
