I see what you mean but that's also part of the beauty - the fact that this hobby is all about nature. It evolves on it's own and creates it's own art in the process.

That's a great improvement, nice looking tank there. :)

I think a lot of space is wasted by the massive clump where all of the peices join in the centre. A great first attempt though, the thing is to keep practising now. ;)

What a nice bit of wood you have there! :) If you had more like that I would chuck it in because it ooks a bit too sparse with just peice but this still has great potential, keep us posted.

Re: A different Iwagumi! I really really like this, can't put my finger on why but I just do. :lol: Although there's something not quite right about it for me, again I can't quite put my finer on it... I think the main stone looks a bit out of place for me. Still, like others have said another...

That was by far one of your best aquascapes and one of the best on this forum as a whole! It's great looking back on past works of any nature - love it. :)

Come on guys, which one of you works at Heathrow and nicked this for your tank? :P

Search 'red moor wood' or 'bogwood' and you'll get some good search results. ;)

I really like this! It's a shame you couldn't have set it up and finished it in a month or so or something.

I paid yesterday - email mcmillan_ [at] live.co.uk ;)

Wow, that's the best video I've seen too! It fills me with jealousy more than inspiration... :lol:

I think you've got good numbers there, but I would get less Crypts personally - about two or three maybe? It's up to you, but generally you will get four or five plantlets out of a standard Tropica pot that you can plant and they will fill in.

The wood looks great! Can we have a few more stats? substrate, lighting etc I think moss would look good, a few Crypts also like you said. It's entirely up to you - ferns, anubias, bolbitis etc are great plants.

Ah right, sorry about that but if you didn't point that out then I wouldn't know. I think it depends what you want really, if your sole purpose is to breed the fish then you'll want a lot of cover and places to hide but might not mind if it doesn't look so good. Whereas if you want it to be a...

I don't know if I've missed the point, but what is this 'breeder' for? If you told us that, and a bit more info etc then we might be able to give a few more tips. ;)

I don't like the last one, for the same reasons as Clark. I think the other two are great though - but with less rock and the rocks a lot less 'lined up' if you see what I mean. It will look more natural that way. You've got a good hardscape basis for a nice aquascape there.

Yeah, sorry if that post sounded a bit rude or whatever - just thought I'd add my two pence. :roll: What you've got is actually great for a first try, just keep practising and it can only get better.

I think you're trying to create something too extrovagant - try using minimal hardscape and if you want to, work your way up and practise a lot. I think there's too much hardscape and too much going on for a diddy 35l though. Also, as Mark said in his first post - try to get the tips of the...

Looking at the list, I've chosen too many peices and it's probably unfair on eveyrone else. So, on second thoughts I've decided to wait until a later date for this wood - don't really need it any time soon to be honest and it would be more use to someone else. My bits are back up for grabs -...

^ You pay £5 something for each kg of wood you want, plus £12 if you want the lot posted. At least that's what I've gathered. ;)

Here's what I'd like please: M002 M005 M006 M010 S003 S007 S008 S009 S010 Posted please. I hope it doesn't seem as if I'm being greedy... It's just such great wood and I find it really difficult choosing the right peices. They're not big peices, but if someone wants one of these I'd probably...

I think the best person to PM would be Tonser (Tony) - he seems to be the one organising everything. ;)

I hope the people who have expressed an interest by putting their name on the list will get priority... Otherwise there wasn't much point in that. I hope I'm not working on Sunday, better ser my alarm - no lie in for me! :lol: Thanks again Tony for organising this for us all.

Haha, that's mad! :lol: The things we do for fishkeeping eh... I can't wait for the biotope series, especially this one now. Biotopes are right down my street and this looks so interesting.

Woo! :D I'm sure there's no rush, take your time mate. ;) I would need it posted.

I like tanks with weird dimensions, always a challenge! I remember seeing a few shallow tanks in the AGA showcases, so you might want to take a look there for some ideas.

I might enter...if my tank is ready for then.

I'd probably be up for around 2-3kg about 10-40/50cm bits. ;) Can't wait for this sfuff, thanks again to Tom!

I think sumatra wood would be a nice one to use, most (if not all) Maidenhead Aquatics stock it.

It looks a lot bigger than it is in the last photo! I like the fact it's quite different from the normal stuff. Won't some of the plants outgrow this tank though?

Can I ask when the closin date is? And does anyone know the closing dates for the other competitions aswell? I am going to enter, again purely to up the numbers and get some feedback. I think we all know I'm not going to do well (especially with my photography) but I don't care! :lol: I'm...

Re: Rescape - NEED HELP WITH WOOD POSITIONING I like that last one too, where is the wood from?

Re: Superman's 180l Rescape I'm a big fan of Cryptocoryne so looking forward to this!
