I like the idea of dragon/ohko stone in my tank but its flippin expensive. Cheaper alternatives at the minute are paddlestones, limestone (free) or river boulders. not entirelt sure what look im going forso I can have a go with any rock at this stage. The limestone is ok but very 'white' and...

As a piece of hardscape id say its not so bonsai :p

An island type scape would work well :)

The large rock at the front adds depth imo, You have large rocks and the taller pieces of wood at the front :thumbup:

The river in my garden has some nettles and moss growintg on/next to it if that counts? :roll:

Try getting some heather wood, its tiny tiny stuff :)

I had green slate in my 600l (no plants :thumbdown: ) and it looked great and the fish where fine

It is different, but similar in colour and some bits can be quite textured. Let me get some photo's before i get your hopes up :P

My local garden centre sells 'Derbyshire stone' which resembles ada mini's, but big :) If its not the same, it looks farily similar, £3 each for some 15kg rocks aint bad going? :lol:

Yes i supose so technically. I assumed you meant invasive algae not algae as a whole :oops:

How about good old marimo? Would take about 3 months to grow over any thread but the3 lowest maitanence ever and would give you a tight cushion

Heather wood? Sourced from your local roling hills :lol:

Looking good :) I cant help thinking this would make a cracking iwagumi if you just removed the wood :lol:

I recently came back of a trip to the peak district and whilst i was there i collected a bin bag full of dead heather :mrgreen: I keep reading about 'heater wood' being safe..... Is this the case and are we on about the same thing? Also, is sycamore safe to use? Theres a massive dead branch in...

its nice, but to me, it looks a little bit to 'placed', none of the decor is touching, not very natural imo, but it could look nice once the spaces fill out with a nice carpet.

it would indeed lol, i was faffing around today and ive decided on a double island arangement, seeing as the tank is fairly narrow, one island looked out of praportion :( need to figure out how to do it without focal points clashing though. I was thinking one large island and one small (as in...
