    Still aquascaping...

    Welcome back, Ady - good to see you on here again. Tank looks great. I've always wondered though, how hard is it to keep a tank like that algae-free. What's the technique? Some Cyperus helferi or similar blowing in the current around the wood would look amazing - looking forward to the plants...

    Obsessing over hardscape again.

    Agree on the above comments. I'd also add that you've got those two golden coloured pieces 'crawling' over the substrate and the other piece bolt upright almost like horns or antlers.

    Draft for new scape

    I think over even a relatively short period of time in a river, that big stone would settle onto the stones below it and wouldn't remain "sticking up" for long. Nature is always looking to move things to the furthest moveable point. The thing I liked about your drawings was how natural...

    Draft for new scape

    I've always aspired to a beautifully mixed carpet of HC, glosso, hairgrass (and in my case Marsilea hirsuta). Just make sure you're getting enough CO2 down to substrate level and you should be fine - its the one thing I'm struggling with at the moment and hence my glosso is a bit leggy (and I...
