Custom build nature aquarium

[AnhBui]

Take down a 30cm cube I set last year and start a new project

I only reuse the spider wood, while rocks have been used for another 25cm cube below

This is how new layout looks like (I was little lazy for a proper photo shoot. Just phone shooting)

The layout has

1. Lava rock
2. Yellow-ish sand
3. A branch of spider wood
4. Akadama aquatic soil and local dyi soil (promoting red plant)

Plant list has yet been decided as I am checking local LFS stock availability

Second one looks more dramatic and with more depth

Btw, those lava rock looks awesome, more like seiryu texture

What’s that planted in if that makes sense? Stuck to rocks, or you’ve substrate between them?

I like the effect

It’s Monte Carlo (emersed from). It’s planted in substrate , glued on rock surface and stuck too

Thanks mate. I do agree with you. Tank is bigger so there are plenty of space for creating levels and depth

Finished scaping them yesterday and next is planting

Having looked at my scapes and pictures, I found they need more touch and details. Have my hands dirty again. And this is my final and official hardscapes
