Hi Edwin,...welcome on board. Hope you will hang out with us more often here because there is so much we could learn from you by the looks of your magical tank. I love your scape. The substrate height difference that you have created between the left & right side of your tank,..those nooks & cave like features in your wood,...those cascading hydrocotyles,....it's one big poetry mate. The sense of depth that you have created is amazing.I love this tank. Do you have any earlier pictures during the hardscape set up ? Love to see it. How is your moss attached to that central wood?

Rock in left corner looks much better!

No, sorry, I have no pictures of setup progress. Moss is attached with green sewing thread.

Thanks to all for your feedback.

This is a stunner Edwin, potamogeton gayi would look lovely behind the rock on the left. Really nice scape.

 

[EdwinK]

Hygrophila sp. 'Araguaia' will be planted behind the rock on the left as soon as it arrives.

Amazing aquascape...I really like the juxtaposition of the open foreground and the densely planted areas.

Not much have changed recently although I've upgraded my filtration to Tetra EX1200, CO2 is now dissolving trough UP atomizer instead of external reactor and plants are slowly recovering from massive melting caused by high temperatures during my holiday.
