It's a beautiful scale but too much rocks to be considered as iwagumi. Any co2 injection? Well done

Thanks all, no CO2, its pretty low tech, i hv actually rescaped by removing most of the big rocks and added bog wood n more plants / dead leaves... now become rojak planted... lol, wanna try some altums...
