Couldn't resist trying this awesome piece of gnarliness out in my new 60P. I'm going traditional NatureScape with this one, Crypts, Java fern, maybe some red stems etc. Either way, I think I'll keep it relatively simple - back to basics.
There's still a few yards left in Return of the Shallow...but it'll soon be time to tear it down, and then I can start working this new scape.

Thanks Guys :)
60P
- classic :cool:

Change the Shallows over to a Wabi ;)
That's a good idea, but it'd be more of a terrascape and I don't think I have room for that :)
Thread worth watching IMO :thumbup:

The Pic reveals some of your secrets Tim in your book selection 'Wizardologly' so its aquascaping 'Potter' style;)
It's all smoke and mirrors ;)
Hi tim
Very cool. I love that wood. Similar wood i saw at glens place. He had one in a dry hardscape and it look so cool.

Going to look cool i know

Cheers

I'll have to take a look, might be heading back to MK next week sometime.

As you would know working with a one piece hardscape in an Aquascape is not going to be easy at all.

Your probably right about that Keith, I doubt I'll be able to resist the temptation to add more hardscape. But the idea this time is to let the plants tell the story :)

The only thing I can think of is fixing it to a piece of slate and standing it upright. Plants a thick matting of small grassy plants and around the same leaf type but tall making it look like a semi wild appeal.:crazy::crazy:

This will be like Takashi Amano Retro Tank

- a rewind to Back When it was just wood in those amazing Nature Aquarium tanks with nary a stone in sight :shh:

Of course now we :lurking: :lurking: :lurking: :nailbiting: :nailbiting: :nailbiting: :nailbiting: :nailbiting:

I guess that's the idea alto, and if I can capture something of the essence of those stunning Takashi Amano scapes I'll be very pleased. But I'm never really sure how my scapes will turn out :confused:
