Same style of aquascape, after 10 years of practice...

[George Farmer]

Hi all,

Almost 10 years ago I created a low-maintence aquascape - mainly ferns, Anubis and crypts.

Today I took the final shot of my latest 'scape - mainly ferns, Anubis and crypts.

Note the difference. Mainly use of hardscape, open foreground and more complex textures.

I thought it was an interesting compare and contrast... Interesting the richness of the greens in the first photo too. I was using 2 x 6500K T8. Second 'scape - 6 x 18w LED 6500K.

Cheers,
George

they are both nice scapes pal, colours are far better under the T8's though. Time to see something more challenging from you mate....UG iwagumi maybe 😛

Sorry added comment on the quote Iain,meant to emphasise I think t8s still have a place even with all these new lighting products

Both are gorgeous... My personal favorite tend to be the older one. How long did you maintain it?

Totally see the progress and agree. I'm usually struggling with long leaves of valisneria stopping the water circulation. Had to adjust the scape&trimm the leaves.

Just noticed you had no problems with long leaves in the second scape at all.

Thanks. 🙂

I think about 12-18 months. I can't remember! lol
