- NATURE IN THE GLASS ‘Fine Summer Breeze’ AJ Vol. 336
Aqua Journal Vol. 336 [Fine Summer Breeze] Where balance is important in a layout, for instance when arranging a composition or planting, it is good to be aware of the golden ratio. In this layout, Nature Aquarium’s classic 2:3 ratio of empty spaces in the left and right is used, with Branch Wood and a variety of stemmed plants drawing the eye into the orthodox concave layout. I feel this piece returns to the unchanging aesthetic of Nature Aquarium that Takashi Amano established through his works. DATA Photo taken on: March 28th, 2018 (ADA) Creator: Yusuke Homma (layout production, text) Aquarium: Cube Garden W90×D45×H45(cm) Lighting: Solar RGB x 1 (8.5 hours per day) Filtration: Super Jet Filter ES-600 (Bio Rio) Materials: Branch Wood, Manten Stone Substrate: Aqua Soil – Amazonia, Power Sand Advance M, Bacter 100, Clear Super, Tourmaline BC, Laplata Snad CO2: CO2 Pollen Glass Large30Ø , 4 bubbles per second via CO2 Beetle Counter (using Tower) Aeration:15.5 hours after the light is turned off with Lily Pipe P-4 Additives Brighty K, Green Brighty Mineral, Green Brighty Iron, Green Brighty Nitrogen Water change: 1/2 once a week Water quality: Temperature 25°C, pH: 6.2, TH: 50 mg/L Plants Hygrophila pinnatifida Rotala rotundifolia ‘Green’ Rotala rotundifolia ‘Ceylon’* Rotala rotundifolia ‘Hra’* Rotala nanjean Hygrophila polysperma Myriophyllum mattogrossense* Ludwigia glandulosa Pogostemon sp. ‘Dassen’ Anubias barteri var. nana ‘Petite’* Microsorum sp. ‘Trident’ Taxiphyllum barbieri* *means that they are from ADA’s living product lineups. Fish Hyphessobrycon rosaceus var. Boehlkea fredcochui Hyphessobrycon amandae Crossocheilus oblongus Otocinclus sp. Caridina multidentata Stemmed plant concave layout A wide sized tank lends itself to concave layouts constructed with plant clusters on the left and right sides. In this W900 tank, Branch Wood is used as it is easy to construct with and offers enough space to raise stemmed-plants. The left of the composition is the 2 and the right the 3 in the 2:3 ratio of the classic concave layout. Bright ferns planted into driftwood branches and the use of various hues of stemmed-plants between the midground and background come together to make a vivid overall impression. Point A Leaf type gradient to add depth Centrally planted red-leaved plants can add accent and give a sense of stability; here large-leaved Ludwigia glandulosa is planted in front of a fine-leaved Rotala rotundifolia ‘Hra’ to create depth. The fun of using red aquatic plants is that, even with the same red, the difference in shade can change their impression. Point B Making use of driftwood movement in epithytic plant placement Use driftwood’s unique branching: whilst a central arch is a composition point, adding a little Taxiphyllum barbieri, sparsely so as to still expose the bark, can add balance. Distribution of epiphytic aquatic plants, for instance Microsorum sp. ‘Trident’, at the driftwood’s root can bring brightness and a sense of unity. Point C Beautifying aquascape with an Aqua Screen and decorative sand Used to intensify the outline of the aquatic plants, a normal-type black Aqua Screen gives the red stemmed-plants’s colouring a stronger impressionability.With the spread of decorative sand in the foreground and open areas a visual height difference is created, as well as adding more brightness. Spread sand makes a central path, with stones placed so as to lead to the back; this emphasizes the sense of depth.
- Exploring the Clarity and Effectiveness of ADA NA Carbon for Aquariums
Aquarium enthusiasts often encounter the challenge of maintaining crystal-clear water in their tanks, especially when dealing with turbidity issues. Turbidity, or the cloudiness of water, can detract from the aesthetic appeal of an aquarium and potentially harm its inhabitants by hindering light penetration and reducing oxygen levels. While pinpointing the root cause of turbidity is essential, immediate solutions like water changes or the use of activated carbon can help restore the aquarium's water to its pristine state. ADA NA Carbon emerges as a high-performance activated carbon solution designed to tackle such challenges head-on. Unlike traditional activated carbon, NA Carbon boasts an exceptional absorption capability, reportedly about 20 times higher than conventional activated carbon products used in aquariums. This heightened efficiency is attributed to its unique cylindrical shape, which not only promotes effective absorption activity but also significantly reduces the yellowing of aquarium water, ensuring a fresh and clear appearance. One of the remarkable features of NA Carbon is its acid treatment process. This special treatment ensures that the pH of the aquarium water remains neutral, alleviating concerns that the water might become alkaline—a common issue with some activated carbon products due to the potassium produced during their manufacture. The product is conveniently packed in a net for easy rinsing and immediate emergency use, highlighting its user-friendly design suitable even for beginners. The cylindrical granules of NA Carbon, with a diameter of approximately 4mm, may appear small but are densely molded to provide high-quality adsorption performance. A cross-sectional view of these granules reveals extremely small, mesh-like spaces known as pores. These pores endow NA Carbon with a vast specific surface area of about 1000 m² per gram, enabling it to target and rapidly clear turbidity in aquarium water, including yellowish, cloudy, and green water conditions. ADA NA Carbon stands out for its advanced solution in aquarium water purification. Its superior absorption rate and unique design not only make it highly effective in combating water discoloration and turbidity but also ensure it does not alter the water's natural pH balance. This makes NA Carbon an invaluable asset for both novice and experienced aquarium hobbyists seeking to maintain optimal water clarity and quality in their aquatic environments.
