    Uk, British rock with aquascapes

    Here is a scape I did a few years back, but never managed to finish. The rocks are from a quarry in N Wales. Regards, Dave.

    First Iwagumi

    It`s amazing how we all produce our first Iwagumi with rocks that will disappear. I know I did. It just seems to be something we all have to go through before we have the kahunas to use proper sized rocks the next time round. The large central rock looks ace. Dave.

    Opinions and help with 80cm 'scape

    The rocks are a big improvement, and have now become a more significant part of the scape. My reservation is with the two large pieces of wood running parallel to eachother at the same angle. I would either put the left piece at a shallower angle, or make the piece towards the centre more...

    Opinions and help with 80cm 'scape

    The wood is nice enough, and I like the way some roots reach out to the front of the tank. They will have a nice effect of disappearing down in to whatever foreground plant you choose. The rocks will almost certainly disappear once the plants become established. How about leaving a fair amount...

    Tanks with branches you've collected

    Most of the wood in this tank was collected from an almond grove in Spain. The latest tank that I am struggling with is Manzanita wood collected by Tom Barr in California, and sent over to the UK. Sorry, but there is no picture of that one. Dave

    Luis, chuck the Golden Ratio out of the window, and go with what you think. The same goes for photography too. :D I have tried thinking along these lines, but they are just restrictive. Dave.

    Mr Amano's home tank!! (must see)

    I agree 100%. No one else comes close in terms of originality, productivity and consistency. I hope you are wrong on this count, as I feel the hobby is in real need of an injection of originality. I get the impression that you are right, and that aquascaping has been done, and all that is left...

    keymaker's composition studies

    Absolutely... I 100% agree with this. . I have toyed with ratios, etc including with photography where many of the same principles apply. There are no rules as far as I am concerned. If it looks right, it is right. A scape can have something slap bang in the middle if it works, and some of the...

    a tale of 2 driftwood

    I have used wood from an Almond grove in Spain, but the wood had been dead and bleached in intense sun for a good while when I picked it up. I agree with TBRO in that your wood doesn`t look sufficiently dead and dry. I usually pick up branches that have lost all their bark. Dave.

    Here is the proof...

    This tank is now stripped down due to a house move. I had big plans for this tank in my new house, but it doesn`t appear to fit in anywhere. I like my tanks to compliment a room and be part of the decor, rather than shoe horn them in. Unfortunately, this tank doesn`t look as if it is going to...

    My thoughts exactly, Fred. The SW tank looks nice in its own right, but next to the planted tanks it comes a poor second for me. Needle leaf Java fern certainly seeems to rule. Dave.

    Here is the proof...

    Dan, I have just noticed your comment about the gravel. I have to have mine nice and flat at the front, otherwise I find it too distracting. It dose remove a little interest from the area, admittedly. George, I am beginning to agree with those that say a tank should be judged either in person...

    Here is the proof...

    Cheers for the comments guys. glad you like it. My next scape of this type should be better, considering what little I knew starting out with a fairly complex scape in a tank twice the size I am used to. I reckon another week fighting with the moss will give the Rotala at the back time to play...

    This hobby hates me sometimes. :cry: I have just spent the last week or two getting ready for the competition photo....water changes, finessed pruning etc, when I noticed the moss getting matted in spirogyra one day when I got back from work. Lo and behold, the bloody CO2 had run out. So now I...

    60cm - Espei's Escape (preview)

    I have always thought HC and E. parvula go well together. You certainly controlled the E. parvula well. I like the way it has been used in moderation around the base of the rocks and along the horizon. 8) Such a shame that you chose to ill treat your fish with this type of scape, George. :wink:

    60cm makes a comeback

    After another week of slow decline, I have come to the conclusion that the CEC of the amazonia has resulted in it becoming tainted by the mysterious additive. I have planted some of Stu`s HM, which has slowly declined, yet the stems I left floating for the duration have remained healthy. There...

    120cm - The Crypt Eternal (preview)

    What do you think of C. undulata "broad leaf", George? I`m a big fan of the normal, narrower leafed version. Apart from using C. parva in an earlier scape, I`ve never bothered with Crypts until now. I have only used four types in my 120cm, so I have some catching up to do. Dave.

    60cm makes a comeback

    Cheers guys. The HM is being replaced as we speak (cheers Mr Worrall). The D. diandra coped fairly well, so I have left it in, but it now seems to be deteriorating after I gave it a trim to get some more stems out of it. Yeah, I`m still happy with the look of the hardscape Mark, which is what...

    60cm makes a comeback

    I have no idea what went in there Graeme. There was no suspiscious smells or water discolouration, so I don`t think it was anything like fruit juice. No bubbles, so detergents are unlikely, but something fairly potent and quick acting went in there for sure. I guess I`ll be paying you a visit...

    Hi Steve, I think they are PM glass from AE. A bit cheaper than Cal Aqua, but similar quality, with the outlet pointing in the more conventional upwardish direction. The inlets are fluted with several slots, so the smaller critters don`t disappear in to the filter. One thing I like about...

    You have hit the nail on the head with the problem with the hardscape. Look to get the tallest at least two thirds of the way up the height of the water column. I suspect your next scape will look better without any advice. :D You seem to have a good grasp of what is required, and of...

    Personally, I would like to see some wood reaching higher up in to the water column. A lot of what you currently have may well get lost in the undergrowth. A bit of hardscape bursting proudly out of dense planting can look pretty good, and create a balance between planting and hardscape. You...

    Aaron, if this was my tank, the thing that would bother is the dividing line that disconnects the right hand third of the tank from the left hand two thirds.

    A little help for my first 'proper' aquascape

    I prefer E. parvula because it stays lower than E. acicularis, which can grow quite tall when it is thriving. The E. parvula does need thinning out from time to time, though. Once its growth becomes dense, it is forced upwards and looks more or less like E. acicularis. Dave. PS like the...
