Well, like almost everyone else on UKAPS I got bitten hard by the aquascaping bug about 5 months ago. I had originally planned to focus on fishkeeping as a quarantine hobby, but while I was researching I quickly fell in love with the beauty and creativity of aquascaping.
I've been gradually researching and buying everything I need over the past 2 months (and my fiancée probably couldn't handle another package arriving )
Anyway, I finally started putting everything together this weekend and thought I would share. I kind of feel like the guy who just started golfing and shows up with the $3000 set of clubs, but I figured having quality parts will pay off in the long run!
I decided to keep it simple with a triangle style layout, so once everything fills in I plan to trim it so it slopes left to right. It's far from perfect and probably could have used more hardscape, but I'm proud that everything has gone according to plan so far (key word: so far!) Comments/suggestions welcome!
