I decided on a slightly different scape from the norm, trying to keep a low eye level perspective over the 2 metre's of the tank. With a heavy shoal for the upper eye level, eventually.
I used a bank of Tropica bogwood (from previous Aquadecor pieces), and Borneowild Driftwood which is identical in colouration, and this held most of the aquasoil back, keeping two planting levels. The high ground contains Blyxa Japonica, and the foreground is E. Parvula. Crypts, Pogestemon Helferi and Staurogyne sp. have been used to fill in connecting areas or as solitary specimens. Three large A.Madagascariensis are growing amongst the seriyu rock
I've realised i'd been overdosing with Excel on my previous scape, dosing for the week at water change time. This most likely wiped out my previous shoal of Harlequins, and my latest 15 denisonii barbs. Lesson learnt.
A few stems may be added later or some Windelov ferns, but this will change the overall look immediately. I did think about adding more rock, to the high ground, but then this i feel would be back to the Iwagumi look.
But I'm open to suggestions for a new shoal, but i do like Saintly's rummynose tetras.
The tank has been setup for two weeks in it's present scape.
Any of course please add any comments, good and bad.
