For me when layout is done I want to try something else. Try to make something "better" with what I have learned from the process.
Yes this hobby can be addictive! Expensive to
For me 3 high tech tanks is max I want in terms of maintenance (not 3 big tanks, I have 1 80cm and 2 nanos atm). I think if you get more than tree tanks you will have quantity but less quality. Best thing to do is probably 1 big tank like 120cm and focus hard on that one. But also if you are relative new to this hobby more tanks = faster learning with plants and styles. Now I like 3 tanks maybe in future when life is more busy I will have 1 120cm tank... we will see how it goes

When the tank goes wild because it's hard and not fun to trim the moss in such a small space. And a little bit lazy of course

I think the lack of trimming has made it look so so natural. Close up shots without view of the tank would feel like a forest (with random floating fish of course haha)
oh and its amazing.

Awesome Nigel, love all of your tanks! I've just bought a 45p and the Aquasky light unit and will use this as inspiration for a forest scape
Haha if only that could be true...aquascaping is only good at loosing time and money...Wish I could stop

Beyond fabulous scape nigel, what camera are you using?

Yeah aquascaping takes lots of time and money, especially if you want to make competition scapes. But I don't get your point. I love aquascaping and if it felt a waste of time for me and money, I would quit? Also if you quit aquascaping I am sure you will "waste time" on something else and also money. Aquascaping gear is expensive but IMO it's all about making choices in life. Going on holiday is also very expensive for a few weeks fun. Maybe choose a Toyota car instead of a Mercedes? If you buy a cheaper but still a reliable car or skip a holiday once you can easily afford a setup. Once you have all the equipment and stick to just one tank, the only thing you need to buy is new hardscape (if you want more options) and plants. Or if something gets broken.
Thanks man. Just a second hand entry dslr camera. Canon 700d
For my photography setup for full tank shots for contests I use this setup. All the details and tips in video below
Thanks good luck with your forest!

What more can I add other than you never see a perfectly trimmed old forest that is what makes them so interesting.
Creating a perfect natural Aquascape is not just a matter of letting go wild in the early stages it must be controlled to make it appear it has that young developing forest.
Any chance of taking a few photos with just the touch of back lighting showing sun rise/set ?

Received some bucephalandra moss from someone. Very happy with it. It grows low, compact and is not demanding.

Anyone have any idea where you can get this?
Awesome scape Nigel, how did this plant fair in the setup?
Cheers,

Congrats.
I feel like in the left corner it's missing some flame moss like in the back right corner, or maybe HM? Otherwise, really near job Nigel
