10 years gone - Aquascaper 900

Cheers chaps! I did like the Helferi but due to the height of the hard scape I felt it looked squashed.

Also it did block the flow behind the big bit of wood. Top down photo shows the channel.


I will try and make a video tonight. I’m constantly tinkering with little bits here and there. Thanks for looking T

Love this scape, now I know exactly what mine is missing and where to plant it ...hooray The chain type plant, "japan" something , looks fantastic and the light green colour is perfect
 
Thanks Jay, hydrocotyle tripartita “Japan” is cool. Definitely the fastest growing thing in the tank. It even grows well above the waterline. Everything else is much slower!

Trying to get some pearling photos but the fish keep getting in the way, probably should feed them more! Oh well:

Picked up some baby cardinal tetras, they look great in the shadows. Very cheeky, chasing the rainbows around! Also got another Ram but think it’s actually just a dominant looking female

Not too much going on in my big tank over Christmas. Did a little re-scape in the middle. Removed a big moss covered rock. Moved some crypts around to fill the space.

Think it works better. Like a wooded slope. Think the previous rock was too big and near the front. What do you think?

Before:

Getting closer to one of my inspiration tanks, could do with the middle filling in a bit more. Overall for a high tech set up, it doesn’t need loads of maintenance mostly due to lack of stems

Thanks for the kind comments!

Had a serious prune of the big Bolbitis. Painful to chop out nice big healthy leaves but I think it has lightened the scape up.

Took some shots with my Dad’s old DSLR:

Looks great, I was unsure about the central rock removal initially but can see now it has settled that it was the best decision, your eye is lead through the scape now not directed towards the centre :thumbup:
 
Thanks Ady, yes that’s what I thought too. It’s morphed into a kind of convex/concave scape, saddle shaped?

Generally pretty happy with it, still getting some green spot algae but I think this is improving. Would like to keep it going for at least 1yr.

I might switch ferts from TNC complete to TNC light, H.pinitifada still doesn’t look happy, despite high flow, light and CO2. It grows but develops holes in older leaves?

Looking to re-scape this soon. I’ve never been 100% happy with the hard scape. Some how not obeying the Golden Ratio and too symmetrical.

I’m keen to do something very classic NA. Convex wood with carpet, thinking eleocharis. Something like this ADA scape:
