Shoshi Scaping
Seedling

Hi everyone, I've decided to start this journal in order to document the process of my latest aquascape. This journal will also tie into a school project that I’m doing called an EPQ (Extended Project Qualification). An EPQ is worth 50% of an A-Level and is essentially an essay or artefact on any topic you’d like to write about; and of course I just had to choose aquascaping.
I thought that I’d start off this thread by saying who I am and what my goals and plans are for it… my name is Shoshi and I fell into the aquascaping hole just over a year ago. Since then, it’s been a never-ending hobby of mine and has become one of my biggest passions. In April last year I decided to start an Instagram account due to enjoying aquarium photography as well. I’ve loved every minute of having that account and have met some amazing people along the way, not to mention the amount of inspiration it’s given me.
The reasons behind starting this thread are to keep track of all the steps of creating this specific aquascape but also to inspire some people and to help educate people on the hobby. Originally, I was only going to mention small parts of the project on my Instagram page but then thought why not share the whole journey publicly! This journal won’t be the actual artefact for my EPQ but will help me to form the main basis of the actual thing; the artefact is going to be a powerpoint which I may convert into a handwritten journal once I've finished the aquascape's journey (time-dependent), I'll be sharing photos of some of the slides on here (e.g. the picture underneath this text which is the front cover that I've drawn).
My aim for this project is to apply everything I’ve learnt so far about aquascaping and to stretch my scaping ability. This journal will include everything from my initial ideas and inspiration, all the way to the end product.. I look forward to documenting the journey of this scape and hope that some of you will join the journey too!
