Some details, taken from above and with all rocks inside the aquarium.
I hope that this rocks can give me a nice background for fish in the near future.

Under construction 
Back side of the hardscape.
This time 'm trying some ways stop the old substrate from mixing with the new Aquasoil..
Backside with the old substrate in place - I'll put Powersand and Aquasoil over it.
Frontside with some protection on the glass.
Plants and moss are ready...
I already a lot of hours in this project...

Really like the look of this, the rock is lovely.
Will be interesting to see how you have chose to plant it, sue its going to look great.
Just be careful that when you take this down as the tights will rot and tear really easily after sitting in water a while.

Thanks guys.
Ian, let's see how the tights will become in the future. My aquariuns use to live ~9 months.
Steveo, at my store they call it Spirit Stone.

Guys, it's done
Water is very good. ~1/5 of the water is from the previous aquarium (Green&Grey) and filter was always on with all the fish and shrimp at a temporary aquarium.
I already put all fish and shrimp on the aquarium. It's like a super water change
Amazing how all moss stayed in place! I think i've done about 30 pieces of wood and stones with moss and put it between the stones and the sand.
Plants stayed on place and substrate is very stable.
The separation between La Plata Sand and Aquasoil was a a challenge. There are 18 stones separating both of them!
This was a work of several weeks and a detaild preparation was done.
Let's hope that all the moss grows nicely on the places i planned. Plants will grow certainly.
I hope that all of you can participate and give me your advice ans suggestions.
On the photos i'll be posting you'll see that a i have one stone that will be liked by some and hated by others. Plant growing will decide if it stays.

I will be interested to see how you make this feel "forsaken" as it currently looks quite lovely

It's time to update this thread with some new photos.
This aquarium should be pretty different in about 3 months. Lots of moss between rocks that are still hiding and should give a new look and feel to the aquarium.
Stem plants are also pretty small, obviously They cover the back/upper side of the rocks.
There are 18 rocks, some of them glued (vertically).
I think that the hardscape is somehow nice with good rock placement, but you guys will give your feeling about it.
First two pics are from first day, all others are from fifth day.
BTW, i was keeping all fish on a plastic IKEA big-kind-of-bucket so i had to put them all on the first day. Filter was allways on with fish and i put 1/5 of old water. I will obviously keep an eye on some tests on the first 4 weeks but i'm not hoping for any problems.
Day 1 - details
Day 5:
In situ
Rocks...
Let's see if that lonely rock will give a nice feeling at the backside when it will become almost covered around with plants.
What? ETs?

Nice scape, very original, definitely one to watch!
very nice, what did you do at the side to bring the substrate up at that height without spilling into the sand?
