[George Farmer]

To hand-in-hand with the pinned "Inspirational wood-dominated aquascapes" thread, please post your inspirational Iwagumi aquascapes.

Here's a couple to start us off -

Amano's original Iwagumi - now 30 years-old.

Love them or hate them; Iwagumis are here to stay, I think...

Some of these are so inspirational, I must try one of these one day.

It looks very simple but I bet its very very hard to get right

I like George's as well.

And me too 🙂 Different from the norm and very refreshing to look at

Is still my favourite tank, I think possibly ever, probably because it's the tank I came aware of first and inspired me so much when I first entered the hobby.

No it's one of the under ground caverns, you can make out what looks like a ranger in the right of the pic. I just think it looks awesome

Great thread. I've been looking at a lot of Iwagumi pictures recently as my tank is going to be inspired by the style.

That cave threw me for a minute too. Until I spotted the man and the ladder!
