Hi there,
Although I won't be rescaping until early next year I recieved my ADA black wood from TGM and had to have a mess around with some ideas. (PIC BELOW)
Wood is still new to me so I would be very grateful of some critique from some of the "wood gurus" out there.
The plan:
60cm opti white with straight Nile sand foreground, aquasoil background. The substrate will be supported/separated with a line of lava stone wrapped in java moss, plenty of java moss tied to the tips and curves of the wood.
gaps of wood will be filled with narrow leaf fern and anubias. Backdrop of scape will be a curtain of either Vallis nana or Cyprus helferi (not sure on the spelling off hand).
The lava rocks in the pic are there to support and won't be used in the actual scape, i'll push the wood into the substrate to support the wood.
Looking at the pic I feel another piece is needed to run just off centre so I've ordred a couple more pieces just incase.
One thing I love when I look at Amano's work is when some of the wood branches out onto the sand so that's what I'm wanting to create.
Let me know what you guys think
Many thanks
Mark
