    Trim these no or let them go for a bit

    @Scmelik I’m sorry if I overstepped, I was just trying to get to the root cause of your tank’s issues. The additional information you provided has give us a wider context of the issues you are having with the tank. It appears that there as a few strategies that you can implement to prevent...

    Trim these no or let them go for a bit

    Thanks @Scmelik for your answers. I’d suggest you massively increase your plants in the tank. The drift wood you have is begging for moss and Anubias. Some Echinodorus in the left back to use the height. Cryptocorney wendti for the fore to midground. Also fill up the foreground with more of...

    Trim these no or let them go for a bit

    Hi @Scmelik Thanks for posting the photo. It looks like you need a lot more plants to help stabilize the tank. Planting heavily with fast growing stem plants will help. I'd fill the background with tones of Rotala. Copy and Paste the list below...and add your answers to each number on the...

    Hi can you post a picture of the whole tank please? We just need to see the context. So far things seem to be heading the right way for the tank.

    Planting tweezers

    I found these recently at a local reptile shop. They are a bit chunky but robustly build. It will do the job. £6-10.

    Planting tweezers

    Hi Everyone The aquascaping tools are longer versions of surgical instruments. If you compare surgical instruments made in South Asia (cheap) vs German (super expensive), functionally there isn’t much difference. If you practice enough with your manual dexterity you will get both to work. The...

    Critique my hardscape What do you think?

    Hi Lia Overall it's not bad at all. I like the sloping of the substrate from front to back. The larger driftwood on the left looks nice with lots of branches to attack moss and rhizome pants etc. The rocks have a nice colour and texture to them. My suggestion are as follows: The base of the...

    Hi The layout of the right hand rocks seam to lead the eye out to the right of the tank. Could you rotate the right back rock by about 30 degrees clockwise? The channel in that rock will keep the eye to the left of the tank. The tank seams crowded to me; to many rocks. As a result there is no...

    Help with aquascape

    @Qwedfg do a layout with the rocks removed. Then flip the wood over, such that the branches run from the bottom left or right side to the top of the tank. Rotate the orientation to help. To create the layered effect place the small wood piece on a plane in front of the bigger piece. You may...

    @Qwedfg what are the dimensions of your tank? Looks like it has some good height on it. In which case use the hight and don’t have everything clustered towards the bottom of the tank.

    Hi Welcome! Your wood pieces are very interesting, however, I don’t like the branches pointing down as per your layout. I’d suggest flipping them over so they point up. There are loads of videos on YouTube to inspire you. Take your time and don’t rush it. Have you decided if your are going low...
