Such a beautiful scape! Love the whiptails.

Tank looks great. Love the moss on the branches! But would you really need a wet/dry sump for high O2 levels? I mean during the day the plants will produce oxygen and during night some surface agitation would be enough to have sufficient O2, wouldn't it?

This is turning out great, George. Very serene and relaxing to watch! The pics look great as always, but I would love to see a video of the tank too.:)

The layout is looking great, George. Can't wait to see it fully planted. Have you decided on the stocking yet? I' m curious about the yoghurt.:) Is it only because of the low pH that you use it or does it have other effects to?

Great to see you back in business, George! The layout with petrified wood looks fabulous. I think it will be a real stunner planted with UG and moss on the rocks. Iwagumis can look a bit sterile sometimes, but with mossy rocks I think you could achieve a more organic and wild atmosphere. I'm...

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 new video added Aha, ok. Then it's not smart to add apistos unless he's tired of his expensive shrimp. :D

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 new video added Does Mark have other shrimps than amanos? Amanos are rather big so I don't think the apistos will eat them if they're fully grown... But I can see the problem if he has smaller shrimps...

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 new video added Very relaxing video, Mark. I'm specially impressed by the water clarity... Have you considered adding some apistos, maybe apistogramma borelli? I think they would look great in the scape.

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 fish have to go. I can reccommend rosy tetras as piece of fish also suggested. I have them in my 60 cm and they are beautiful with the rosy colored body and large red and black fins with white markings. However, they're are not the best schooling fishes...

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 Iwawoody. Looks very, very nice, Mark! The depth is great already, it's gonna be even better when the eleocharis and echinodorus grows in. This is one of your best scapes, IMO.

Re: 'Blue Sky' Iwagumi @ 4 weeks I'm sure they will fit the scape nicely. :thumbup: Are you going to keep the cardinals in the scape also?

Re: 'Blue Sky' Iwagumi @ 4 weeks Paracheirodon axelrodi is latin for Cardinals, yes. :lol: I could'nt remember the english popular name, so that why I wrote it in latin. :) Gold tetras will look great in the scape. Do it, mate :thumbup: She won't notice, they're almost the same. :mrgreen:

Re: 'Blue Sky' Iwagumi @ 4 weeks Very nice, Mark! As usual... :D Will P. axelrodi be the only species in there?

Re: 'Blue Sky' Iwagumi @ 3 weeks second trim complete I specially like the last picture with the black background.:)

Re: 'Blue Sky' Iwagumi @ 2 weeks First trim Thanks, mate. :) It looks really good with the black background.... Can't really decide which one I like best. The blue gives it a nice freshness, but the black gives a better contrast to the green.

Re: 'Blue Sky' Iwagumi @ 2 weeks First trim Have you got any full shots with the black background, Mark?

Re: 'Blue Sky' Iwagumi @ 2 weeks First trim What about a good shoal of Aplocheilichtys normani? I think they would fit your scape nicely... Tank is looking great BTW. :thumbup:

Re: NA Style Baby... Wow, looks really promising. The wood feels a tad too symmetrical, but it might change when it's planted...

Re: [IWAGUMI] Scree Evolution Of course, that's the reason. :D The fern will help a lot. :thumbup:

Re: [IWAGUMI] Scree Evolution They just don't felt so symmetrical in the iwagumi version. Maybe it's just the angle as you say....

Re: [IWAGUMI] Scree Evolution OK, it will look good, for sure. Have you considered a darker colored fish like black phantom tetras or black neon tetras? I think they would fit the scape nicely, the neons don't stand out so much, I think. My only critique would be that the rock formation looks...

Re: [IWAGUMI] Scree Evolution Looks great! What's your plan with the stemmed plants? Convex or concave? How tall will you let them become?

Re: [IWAGUMI] Scree Evolution Do you think you can manage not to scrub them with your toothbrush? :wink:

Re: [IWAGUMI] Scree Evolution Stunning as always, George! Only thing that's "irritating" me a little bit are the two rocks in the front of the left side of the tank... They have a bit different texture than the other ones. I did'nt find it a very noticeable in your old layout, but in the new...

Re: [IWAGUMI] Project Scree - Final shots Looking much forward to that. And I'm sorry about asking a question thats already answered. (Just discovered that i missed almost a page of the thread.)

Re: [IWAGUMI] Project Scree - Final shots Looking forward to see it with other plants. Will you switch to soil instead or sand? As i understood it. you won't change the positioning of the rocks. Am i right?

Re: [IWAGUMI] Project Scree - Final shots Both your photography and aquascaping skills are amazing, George! A sight for sore eyes.

Re: "Prairie Lands"... scape finished, journal end! And were's your new journal, Mark? You can't close a journal without starting a new, you know. :wink: :mrgreen:

Re: "Prairie Lands"... scape finished With competition in mind, I also think it's a good choice that you removed the gouramis. Personally I think they're lovely, but you never know if the judges will like it. More "safe" choice with only small schooling fishes in an iwagumi.

Re: "Prairie Lands"... new video added (short) Looking forward to your new scape very much. I love the kind of scapes with good depth and much open space so I'm sure I'll like it!:)

Re: "Prairie Lands"... new video added (short) It's a fantastic video, Mark. Very relaxing to look at and beutiful music to! :thumbup:

Re: "Prairie Lands"... The aim for final photos! They're lovely. :) How big are they now? They grow to about 12-14 cm, don't they?

Re: "Prairie Lands"... The aim for final photos! It's superb, Mark! Bold choice of fish. Nice to see something else than the usual "iwagumi species".

Re: [IWAGUMI] Project Scree It's so stylish and clean. Amazing. :clap: It got a "beachy" feeling with the sand, rocks and "grass".

Re: "Prairie Lands"... blue or white? Hard choice... I love white backgrounds and it looks great in most scapes, but I think the blue works very well in this 'scape... Actually, I think it looks very natural, like a meadow on a summers day. http://www.naturefocused.com/photograph ...
