Default Crystal lake

I've made a special collection of several specific aquascapes named "Water under the water" last year.

I'm using this opportunity to present you a very first aquascape from that collection. I’ve made this aquascape in December and named it "Crystal lake"

That is amazing! I love how different angles look like sunrise vs sunset. What size tank is this?

Awesome scape, makes me feel like I saw it in a dream. It really gives the perspective of lots of time. Very good photography as well. Its really more like an art piece!

Your aquascape is a breath of fresh air! I believe you are one of the most innovative and daring aquascapers out there right now.

Has no one noticed the "crystal lake" and waterfall in the center? Take a second look if you missed it folks. I am stunned!

After my first post, I kept looking at it examining all the details. This is truly a work of art and I am very impressed!

Congratulations for this great layout!
It is really impressive how you made the lake and the touch for the proportion / size of the layout.

Cheers,

Yup! I bet he adds another picture with a toothpick next to it for size reference. How did he make that lake?! Amazing cool.

I'm so impressed Octopus.... thanks for sharing your aquascaping skills, greatly appreciated. You are tallented. Did you draw a sketch before doing this jewel ?

It reminds me of the LOTR movie, when the fellowship were waiting to decipher Moria's riddle to enter.

Best Regards

You make me feel like watching the old chinese water-colour painting!
Please show us how to build this layout, which kind of rock did you use?
Thanks!
