I wasnt sure that Silver Birch was tank safe either, Ive never heard of it being one of the ones that is widely accepted as safe

Agree, I think 1 is the best so far Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk

Personally I'd try putting the tall slanted rock where the darker of the two smaller stones currently is and then put that stone slanted in the opposite direction to that main tall stone, then the remaining stone roughly where it is pointing to the left front corner....although it's hard to tell...

My girlfriend didn't see the appeal in aquascaping at all when I was hardscaping mine, I even showed her photos of professional scapes and she still wasn't bothered.... I set up my tank, planted it and added shrimp and now suddenly she is taking interest....I even caught her googling Cherry...

I'm still riding 7 :D Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk

I stand corrected, in that case crack on....it is difficult with photos sometimes, my photos didn't show the amount of rocks clearly either! Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk

7 is the best for sure. There something a little off with the rock in the top right, I think it's because your two tallest rocks are leaning the same way and also there are 4 rocks in total instead of an odd number. But ignoring those Iwagumi rules isn't the end of the world as long as you're...

I think 4 has the most promise due its depth and I can imagine it planted and looking Good once done. I like the sloping #1 appears to all point left which is a bit too unbalanced for me. #2, the rocks are too skinny to stand like that I think. Whilst #5 looks nice and balanced I think it...

Hi All, How important is it in terms of Aquascaping rules and a tank looking right, for you to have the flow running across the length of the tank in the same direction that the main iwagumi stone is leaning? I'm starting to want the inlet and outlet on the side that is up against a wall and...

I think your right, I do prefer it as it was too. Ive put it back and for now and I'll tweak here and there until I find one that I like I like. As long as it ends up following the Iwagumi rules roughly Im sure I'll like it when its done.

I've been having a play with angles and I've swapped two rocks round. Improvement?

Hi All, I know Ive been saying for months and months what I plan to do with my tank and its just dragged on for several reasons. But here I am getting started finally. Could I have your opinions on my Hardscape (I have now moved all the rocks over to the right a touch as it appears a little...

I will attempt to hammer the surplus rock this weekend. Something ive just tried is closing the gap in the middle (the pathway between the two sections) which I think looks ok but cant decide. Are you saying that it would perhaps look better to have space between each of the individual rocks...

I quite like number 1 where its tucked in the corner, perhaps with a light coloured sand/gravel in the opposite corner as a little beach, sloping soil on the rest of it with a carpeting plant and then ferns attached to the wood with a tall plant behind the wood. Be interesting to see what you...

Hi All, After a grueling 7 months (for various reasons) I am finally in a position to start putting my new tank together. I had originally planned to go for a wood and rock Island layout, because I only have one 1000ND Grobeam Unit so I figured there wouldnt be enough light spread on a...

Keep us updated with the Pics, It'll look fantastic once the HC Kicks in! I have a Rio125 that looks like im doing too much with too little space, the great thing about yours is its only a 60 but uses the amount of space perfectly Can I ask what filter you have running and how you got the glass...

Would it be better to try and take a hammer to the larger rocks and have more smaller ones? Your right it is all a bit big in relation to the tank

Hi All, Looking at the new pieces of rock and wood I have can anyone give me any suggestions about how to lay it out. Ive decided it all looked better in my hands at the shop but now ive got it in the tank im not so sure. I have got another piece of Samatra but its too much really (I...
