Looking at all the lovely japanese tanks seems to me that they have an amazing selection of rock compared with us. Manten Stone by the ton!

I actually believe that the rocks and wood do not make the scapes. It's more than that, the attention to detail, balance, colours and the way all is presented, that is what makes the scapes ao amazing!

Now Luis! It is clearly the rocks and wood that MAKE the scape, but it is the attention to detail, balance, colours and the way all is presented that make them truly amazing scapes! 😉ghostsword said:

🙂 Yes, having rocks and wood make the scape, but not if they are manten rock, or other exotic variety. At least on my opinion.
For example, wood is wood, but I prefer manzanita because of the shapes and colour it has, but without more skill than having good wood at home the scape will be just a basic scape.
Ok, George F did a iwagumi with Seiryu stone, sand and grass. On paper looks very simple, but when I saw it in front of me it was shocking how attention to detail, good plant quality and how the rocks were setup that made the scape.
Graeme also did an amazing scape with moss, a log of oak and some plants, no substrate or rocks.

novel idea for a tank/light stand for a nano (cant link pic sorry). Should be easy to make or get a chippy to knock one up with some decent wood.

It's a nice idea, but looks a bit "Ikea" - three in a row would look great though!

I like the mini ADA style cabinets too! I might have to attempt a scaled down model for testing if I ever attempt a DIY cabinet.

I like those Garuf, not sure how good they'd be with roots hanging. But they are good.

Darrel might no better but I don't think the roots largely care, they'll just treat it as though they're growing in a small pocket of soil on a scree and produce aeroid roots and carry on as such.

They are similar to the Kokedama as Japanese say. You can find many videos on youtube how they make it. Pretty cool stuff.

That's probably where the idea came from, very few new ideas are that.
