Right, I've got another photo today post-trim and rock re-positioning

Which would you use?

Yesterday's?


Or Today's?

First pic looks a lot more natural/established to me, but the rock looks a little nicer in the second 🙂

BTW, how big is this tank??

 

[Tom]

It's a 40cm 😉 About 25l

Like the naturalness of the first, but theres something about the second... like the compact look of the moss. Looks like its just had a trim?
But I guess natural is what we're all aiming for 😛
That is Pagoda stone, awesome for Iwagumi.... for anything.

I vote 1st. It looks much better with the moss covering the substrate.

todays stone
yesterdays moss.

 

[Tom]

Aaahhh well it'll grow back! 😀

[Tom]

New shot just quickly. The aim was just to get rid of the horrible purple background!

I like the tension created by that middle "boulder" which sorta hangs slightly, like it's on the edge of a cliff

 

[jam ez!!]

love this scape, excellent photography too!!

Thanks

I don't think its Pagoda stone Tom.

It looks more like the stuff I have at home, which is called Elephant skin, and comes from South Africa from Savannah Marketing.

 

[jay]

They're very similar but I don't think the elephant skin has the burnt orange, copper type veining that pagoda stone has.
Also, the cracks in elephant skin are usually deeper and a little more uniform.

I could be wrong though... A MA store I go to keeps them both in the same basket. Nightmare trying to get pieces the same. 😡
