12 liter shrimp nano final update

Re: 12 liter shrimp nano all change

hey folks little update tank ran sort of smoothly but i decided i wanted a change watching this scape evolve really made me realise how much time and effort you need to put into a scape to make it work also realised i wont be learning much from sitting looking at something im not happy with so fresh start

Re: 12 liter shrimp nano 12 week update

you have the idea there Tim, IMO the wood needs to be on the left hand side at more of an angle, maybe put some moss of the branches as well.

It looks loads bigger than 12l mate, you certainly have the knack to giving things a sense of depth.
 
Re: 12 liter shrimp nano 12 week update

In my opinion buddy, and it is just my opinion I think the positioning of the wood is spot on.. If anything a tad to the right would work more. I think with the way the formation of the branches form, centralising the wood more to the left will create an imbalance in the tank. The long branch on the left side would stretch further than the branch on the far right.. Agree with the moss idea though. Think u have cracked it though Mate :)
Nice one

cheers jack i am inclined to agree with ian though a move to the left will maybe give the scape a more triangular shape i will have a move around at the weekend see where it goes from there your triptych cubes are coming together very nicely mate :thumbup:

Re: 12 liter shrimp nano all change

hi quick update the rescape of this was inspired by this post by ianho http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=23474pretty amazing mini landscapes using bonsai as the focal point second one down being my favourite i dont quite think i've pulled it off and there are still quite a few things i would change but i think its now time to let the plants grow and see how it looks in a month or so
