Nice tanks, you choose rock and plant well so imitated vertually same landscape. If you can use some smaller rocks and lay-out more class like photo, I think it will be better (I know it so hard to do like that, but try). Thank for sharing. Cheers!!!

I'm digging it

... You have really re-created the landscape well. I also like to look of the green on the rocks, which I assume is algea.

Hi again,

Thank you all for you comments.. the green on the rocks is algea, but now, with the stabilization of the tank, the green is disappearing.. They look natural.

Cheers!

hum nice, but I dont like the effect of the aquasoil that you made, to much in front view.

compliments

Hi there,

If he hasn't that ammount of aquasoil in the front, it would never be a valley..right?

Cheers

Stunning rendition of the original valley inspiration. You picked the perfect rocks to replicate it. I too feel the aquasoil in the front "feels" a little off, but you are right, it needs to be that way to acheive the valley. Overall, well done!

Have you tried a blue toned background? Also, I think it would look very nice if you add a ripple effect on the surface of the water to complete the look.

i see you have white pearl dwarf shrimps in it - how fast do they breed? and are they doing a good job ( fighting the algae) ?

aaronnorth · 09-02-2008, 09:56 AM

J House · 09-02-2008, 10:33 AM

That's a really nice rendering of your original inspiration. Just curious, have you thought about trying to plant some HC on top of the cliffs.

It would have to be done sparingly. Just a sprinkling of it over the rocks by possibly adding some aquasoil up there.
