I'm in need of some composition advise

[Timon Vogelaar]

Hi there,. I have enjoyed reading this post...and I have learnt a lot - not least that I need a LOT more patience and need to not rush my set-ups... I need to "play, leave, look, repeat". I am not artistic... Which makes it tougher! But I guess that's why I need to take my time more!!

Anyways, just wanted to say that it's reassuring for a newbie to hear and learn the thought processes of those more experienced... I am going to have a thorough rethink about my next scape(s)...

Out of interest, at the back/behind the stones in your set up there a gap between the rocks and the back of the tank... Is that just filled with the same plants... Or taller ones? Just curious!?

Thanks for an enlightening thread.

Hi Doozer,
You can follow my journal and see how my scape is now!

Link is in my signature under this message!

Indeed! Dont rush, but take your time...

Hi All,

Hi, looks good... bigger rocks may give you more options tho'....it's much easier if you have a good selection of raw materials to choose from, especially when you're just starting out.

You may find that it all starts to come together quite naturally then.

Also iwagumi is an art form but there are rules/guidlines to help. Take a look at these links, they may help...
