With your green thumbs what ever you choose it will look fantastic.

Thanks Keith, I'm still thinking somewhere along traditional Nature Aquarium lines 🙂

Now this is it...hardscape definitely finished. I've added another piece of wood and moved the rocks slightly. It's all now cemented in place using the powdered AS and superglue technique...



Also an update on the Venus Flytrap, still going strong on a diet of rainwater and the occasional, once a month, feed of tank water...

Man this scape looks incredible! It really was worth the rescape, great job!

Tank scape and flytrap both look awesome

Love the substrate slope - I always default on that ... must be my lack of wood 🙁

Plants this weekend?

The Octopus...

@DeepMetropolis thanks 😉

And thanks @alto too. I wanted to bank the slope up as high as possible. I'm using thin bits of slate as substrate supports, but not sure how well they will work once it's full of water.
I won't be planting it just yet. I'm probably going to try another plantless start, it worked fairly well last time. Also, I can't decide on what plants would look best and where with this scape so still open to suggestions.

Haha @foxfish I suppose it does resemble an octopus, I was aiming for the more windswept or bending in the current look 🙂

As usual all the hard work has been done and it's looking excellent.

I tried a carnivorous tank once and it never worked successfully.

The way you placed the rocks then the DW looks as if in Nature every thing blended in perfectly.

Thanks @Keith GH. Plants arrived today, so will get planting tomorrow. Should be enough, along with the ones I rescued from BBA...

Nice plant selection, lots of stems always help against algae!

Really great video Tim, did you lay it out before or just freestyle the layout?

The flytraps would look great with sundews idiot! Post Christmas sending is a promise

Thanks for the kind comments guys 🙂

Thanks, I'm hoping algae isn't going to be too much of a problem; I'm a bit dubious about reusing some of the plants rescued from the BBA 😕

Looks like you are going to be busy for a few hrs

That I am Keith. I had a plumbing emergency in the family bathroom which I had to deal with today so it looks like I'll be planting tomorrow instead.

did you lay it out before or just freestyle the layout?

Thanks Iain, a bit of both. I used a scape box to work out the basic layout, but it changed a bit when it came to scaping the tank...

Plants will be a mix of Crypts, epiphytes, Ludwigia and Rotala stems, some Alternanthera reineckii Mini, and MC and Stauro and a few bits and bobs for the foreground, thanks for asking.
