Any one who has followed my "Help My Osaka 320 Needs you" thread will recognise my tank. After about 2 months of trying to sort an iwagumi set up , finally the tank height subdued me and I decided to try the wood approach where height is a lot easier obtained. Here is a picture of my 1st try...

Thanks Sam, I have seen this article and did find it usefull. The issue I am finding is trying to fit the rocks into the scape without crowding it while trying to give some structure given the shapes and textures that I have. Cheers, John

Here is the latest attempt ... And top down side view right to left Any suggestions or views. Cheers John

Hi Beeky, Thanks for that. I have changed around a little again. This time I have raised the 2 Big rocks on the left up a lot higher. The second picture shows the left to right view of the tank from the top downwards. Which would you suggest moving and where ? Cheers, John

Hi Clarke, What do you think 1 or 2? Personally I prefer 1 as turning the large dtone around in 2 does not show its best side or Thanks for all your help... Cheers John

Some more shuffling around and lifting up done. Sounds a bit like a Wonderbra advert. What do you think ? Cheers, John

Thanks Clarke, I have taken some more out and moved around others. I shall now look at a your suggestions and see how they go.... Cheers, John

A bit more moving around done. Arrived at the conclusion that both of the large mountain rocks could not fit in after much deliberation. Let me know what you think. Does it look a little busy ? If so what/which should I take out. Cheers, John

Aquamaniac, Do you think the 1st or 2nd from the left should be highest ? Cheers John

Going by the look of the stand that wife of yours is failrly handy to have. You may keep hold of her. Best of luck with the tank BTW. Cheers, John

I have now lifted the flat mountain rock from the front left and brougth some of the others a bit closer and changed the alignment of the right vertical rock to pint back towards the other side of the tank. Comments ?? Cheers, John

Jay, When I add the black gravel these rocks will be buried. they are just sitting on the substrate for now until a formation is decided . With regard to the flat mountain rock piece, this has an unusual shape which I was finding difficult to fit in standing vertically due to the shape. I shall...

Jay, Would you leave the pointed mountain rock upright, drop the right sided up vertical rock, bring them closer together then and introduce the remainder of the mini landscape. There is about 19kg of Tetra plant complete substrate in there. The rim on the tank tend to hide the depth. I also...

Here is a straight on picture from a different angle. Dont worry about the braces for the lighting, as these will go in time. Also those ugly Fluval ribbed pipes are being replaced and lily pipes will be added when they arrive. I am/will be looking for suggestions and tips on how to plant it...

Here is a picture the first attempt to layout the scrap. It will be all stone, no wood I believe. I am looking for constructive comments on how it can be inproved or moved around to have the optimum impact. I still have some mini landscape pieces left and a very flat piece of Knife stone.Let...

Hi Jay, I am expecting a consigment of hardscape rocks from Aqua Essentials today so then the fun will begin. I have ordered mountain rock and some mini landscape as well. The ones you see in the tank were just a trial run. Due to the depth of the tank, getting the scale right will be really...

Hi Graham, I have been busy since first posting trying to source materials and glean ideas from this forum and from as many sources as I could lay me eyes on. My goodlady in the mean time has threatened to murder both me and any other DHL, UPS or any another person possible coming to the house...

Thnks Saintly, Apart from Cardinals what else would you recommend, I have a soft spot for RED EYE Tetras or Rummy Noses. Would a jungle scrape or a jungle/iwamugi cross be in order if I looked to stock more than 1 species. Your tank looks great by the way . How long had this been running ??

Thnks Saintly, Given the size and depth of the tank i.e. 48 x 18 x 25 what would you in your opinion consider to be an appropriate shoal size as to avoid a.> to many b.> being lost in the tank

Thnks Saintly & Superman, I could open the link after, but I could not open the PDF for the download file. Did However find the article of use. Trying to understand the size, number and character of the rocks for the scrape will be the next challange given the dimension of the tank. 4ft long by...

Thnks Tony, Now I know how the guinea pigs feel. What have you got in mind for your scape ?

Cheers, Superman and Saintly for the sound advice. Im not in any hurry. Ive had a tank about 4 weeks and I just put the kit together yesterday. Ive been trying to read up and thats How I came acroos the UKAPS website. i havent stop reading still, maybe because the missus has stop talking to me...

I had already taken a Look at some of Amano tanks on http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=9jNTMAf8KTI , I must admit they look stunning but yes quite challanging. In term of portion and positioning of the rockscrape have you any suggestions as to the size, number and providence of the rocks. I have...

I am complete an utter novice in the World of aquascaping and planted tanks. I have recently purchased an OSAKA 320L tank and am in dire need of some vision as to how I can plan an attractive aquascape in my new tank. I have been mesmerised by the array of layouts and aquascapes I have seen and...
