Hi,
This aquarium is still running until i decide what to do next
I open this topic to share with all of you what were this last few months from setup until the final shoot. Indeed, we know the final result - IAPLC 2015 Winning prize at the 121th position)
This result is far from amazing, It just shows that i have to work harder and harder and proves that um of my favorite phrases are more than true … Good enough is not enough.
Let me just be fair… Nothing of this would be possible without Aquaeden and my great friends Rui Alves, Pedro Rosa and Miguel reis. Their incondicional support, the fair critics and the team spirit are the pillars for everything… Aquascaping also, and i feel privileged to be a part of this team.
I this topic, i will present:
So, lets get started:
During January, i have been looking for ideias of what I could do. I was looking for something new and innovation. I search the internet for Landscapes, Shores, etc, etc, etc.
Until I find this:

This is what i wanted to do.
I picked the stone - Petrified wood and put my hands on the job. It took me 5 days to work the layout. Everything was made very calmly.
I leave you the shoots from those days…

This would be the final layout. Neverthless the left elevation were to big for the tank.
