I'll go to the shop today and pick up one more additional stone just to check if you guys are right 🙂 Definitely post some photos with it.

I almost missed out on this journal somehow, lucky I didn't.
This is a great way to use height in a tank.

Exciting stuff, epic hardscape! Have you considered flow options?

I agree with Nuno M, in that a smaller stone leaning back to the left would compliment such an imposing main stone. Either way though, it'll look great 😀

Hang on filter has a turnover of 550l/h so I hope that will be enough. If not maybe I'll use a surface skimmer for additional flow.

Was at LFS today, no more such small stones so I guess I have to wait till next week.

MC and HC are taking roots. Probably gonna flood it in couple of weeks.

Water in. Tomorrow will pick up Blyxa japonica and Echinodorus tenellus for a background. Somewhat started to dislike that stone on the far left because it brakes all the dynamics in the scape. Another crappy picture:

One more in-situ picture:

i think that extra stone on the left works --- but at the end of the day its your aquascape

Thanks, but that stone is already out. Now I have a bit of negative space and tank doesn't look like a can of anchovies.
