Of course there are more setups. In this moment there are few new and I will introduce some of them very soon. It needs time for some setups to be ready for take a shot.
“Crystal lake” is now 7 months old. I will introduce new pictures of this tank soon.

Yes, there are young fish (Celestichthys marginatus). There are only few months old. I breed this fish. Red crystal shrimps which are also in the tank are my babies too. This shrimp I've started breeding last year.

Wow! Really great! How did you do that? I have been really wanting to do a scape of the park I over look. But I Have been having a hard time figuring out how to represent the lake. It almost looks like you used a resin of some sort? Hope you don't mind sharing it? looks great and very original. Thanks for sharing.

It isn't resin. I think someone already asked for the lake. You should looked the previous page.

I mostly use alabaster and onix or quartz to imitate water. I grind and smooth a stone and need a light from the right side while I take a shot.

Oh WOW! It's very beautiful more so with the lighting effects.
My only thing is the tank doesn't look as impressive when shot directly from the front where the 'lake' is not so visible.

I've often wrestled with this when coming up with new scapes.

Thanks for sharing, Octopus, very inspiring.

This is today picture with white background.
Fishes hide while I was cleaning the glass. It's a big problem... take a picture with Celestial Pearl Danio. Very shy fish.

You are easily a master in scaping. How you transform a picture in your mind into reality in a tank is amazing.

I would pay to study under you.
