Re: new scape attempts
just thinking about giving the scape a bit of height at the back/back right

The one thing I will say is that with all the time you have spent on deciding your hardscape, you may find that you will loose the rocks and a small part of your wood, which would be a shame considering the amount of time and thought you have put into it.
Long term, I would imagine that only the smallest tips of wood will be visible.
This is of course fine, and all is subjective. Often though, the hard scape is what sets the mood and structure of the aquascape. Careful thought of how plants will grow long term and their expected size and growth patterns is needed when planning a new aquascape.
Cheers.

thanks Graeme, I'm expecting quite a lot of the hardscape to be covered by the plants, but in my head at least, it is the suggestion of the hardscape that will create the mood. It will be interesting to see how it goes. is there a particular issue you can for see with the plant choice?
thanks skinz, I have to say that the photo does make it feel quite flat at the mo, so hopefully my photography will improve and as the plants fill out I can create a sense of light and shadow...skinz180189 said:When that grows out I can see it looking brilliant chump.
