When I saw the early hardscape pictures, I didn't think this was going to turn out so well. I thought the sand looked like too much of a rigid T shape and that there was not that much planting space. This just shows what a lack of imagination I had for what it could become. This is a fantastic example for inexperienced scapers like myself to see what you can create when you design your hardscape around what the tank will become in the future, not what it looks like when you first put the hardscape together. This is a truly inspirational scape and I really like it!
