Not Sure if should be posting this in the journals section but for now im just looking for some help with rock placement so figured this would be a good starting point -
Im currently waiting for a 20 inch (ish) opti white glass cube to arrive but being impatient I got tempted in the meantime to set up a little nano. For this project I will be using a supafish aqua 20 silver purchased from Maidenhead aquatics. I Use my local Maidenhead aquatics for all my fishkeeping items so you can pressume anything seen in this thread is from them .
The tank as the name suggest hold 20 litres and comes supplied with a nifty little internal filter and a 9 watt light.
Tank dimensions are 350mm x 235mm x 225mm.
Suafish aqua 20 Silver
I tend to buy rock and bogwood when I see nice peices even if I dont have immediate plans for it because you can never find what you want when you need it. Just recently ive managed to get hold of some nice rocks, This was all the incentive I needed to do another tank.
The rock needed a little attention and after a bit of persuasion with a hammer and a flat head screwdriver I had a number of smaller peices more suitable for the Aqua 20.
Substrate would be Red Sea Flora base. Ive used it before with good results and had a spare bag kicking around the garden. I may put a darker substrate, to tie in with the rocks, on top depending how the scape goes and how much I decide to plant. Im afraid I dont have any definite ideas yet for plants for now im just playing with rocks.
This is where I thougt you guys might be able to help! below are the results of an hour or so of playing with the hard scape I think the final photo is the prefered layout but I though I would get a second (third,fourth and so on) opinion.
Apologise for the quality of pics im no pro photographer im afraid -
Scape 1 - valley
I can see this scape with a light coloured sand path running through it
Scape 2 - 3 Rock triangle
A little less clutered with fewer rocks
Scape 3 - 3 Rock hillside
Thought maybe the smallest rock on the right might get lost when the plants grow
Scape 4 - Rock hillisde 2
The right hand rock has been replaced with a larger one.
So this is how the rocks are placed for now, I will try living with it for a few days and may decide to tweak it a bit. Would be great to get some feed back from some fellow Rock fans
Thanks
