Final Photo Shoot Setting Up for Aquascaping Contest | Sharing My IAPLC 2020 Photoshoot

This was the candid video that I took right after the photoshoot for IAPLC 2020. I was unable to share this video last year since it had final scenes of the contest tank which would violate the contest rules and regulations if it was published. 😂
This is the time that your tanks might be mature enough for the final photo taking session. I would like to share my settings during photoshoot last year with the hope it could have some helpful points for your reference. ❤
I wish you all the best for the contest! Enjoy it and keep on scaping! 🥰

Hi, I noticed that your lights are the Chihiros RGB Vivid 2. Can you share intensity and rgb levels?

[@LitiAquaria]

Hi buddy, I adjust the lighting intensity to the max with the setting of R G B % as 115%-85%-89% (or somewhere blue to the max, too). :D

[@junshimaguchi]

Nice tank, can you tell me the name of the plant on the middle? the bushy plant in the middle. Thanks

[@righez220388]

Awesome as always...How do you think you can keep plants in such good condition without touching the soil?.Also are you using root tabs as supplement or is it just liquid ferts?

[@LitiAquaria]

Thanks a lot, buddy. Yes, plants can take the nutrients from water column as well as substrate. For some aquatic plants, it is fine for them to grow base on water column nutrients itself (like my Micranthemum Monte Carlo).
I am using liquid fertilzers and also have base substrate (JBL Florapol) when setting up the tank. 😊

[@righez220388]

@@LitiAquaria Sorry I Meant How long do you think you can keep plants in such good condition without touching the soil...

[@LitiAquaria]

@@righez220388 Hi buddy, those plants can grow well without any substrate and with the good maintenance like trimming, replanting... it can keep for very very long time. Having said that, as any plants, it can have some best flourish period and also have deterioration overtime, so replanting or changing plant scheme is always suggested. So that you can have a fresh look, too 🥰

[@swillywabbit]

Also fertilizer regimen? Thanks!

[@LitiAquaria]

This tank I am using Seachem Products N, P, K, Iron, Trace and Advance. The dosage follows manufacturer recommendation, but I split it to daily dosage. :)

[@SlickNick3]

Great tips! I’m gonna have to give some of them a try

[@genemartadrenal7692]

thanks for sharing, do you use flash or not?

[@genemartadrenal7692]

I tried using flash but the front aquarium glass become white in the middle

[@LitiAquaria]

Hi bro, sorry for my late reply. I did not use flash for the photo taking. I just used the tank lighting for the shot. If you use flash, the flash need to be on top of the tank, control by the wireless trigger instead. So that it can freeze the fish swimming moment. Flash in front of the tank will cause glaring as you can see. 😅

[@genemartadrenal7692]

Yes it won't work with flash 😅 finally I only use extra light on the top of the tank and it works. Thanks again for the tips 🙏 that was my first Iaplc entry

[@LitiAquaria]

@@genemartadrenal7692 That's great to know, buddy! I wish you all the best for the contest! :)
