3 years of Aquascaping by FAAO

FAAO · 07-18-2008, 08:24 AM

Hi,

I've done a selection of my old layouts since I start in the Aquascaping hobby.
Some of these layouts aren't new for you, but there are others that I think that I never shared...

Please feel welcome to criticise!

2005

2006

2007

2008

I hope that you like it!

Yes, I've but I don't think that you want to see it...

Take a look:

NOV2002

Very cool isn't it?

My first planted tank is that one, I sent it to ADA in 2005 and I obtained the 279 position..

hehe, i like the goldfish round glass - i trie dsome wweks ago to buy such one for my gf, you know what they told my in the pet shop?
i would abuse the fish if keep them in those round glas etc ..

as i told them i only want to keep a few shrimps in it - they told me
anyway we dont have those tanks..
very unfriendly .. cant imagine how people can be so oldfashioned?!
dont want to think about what happened if told them, that i´m aspiring aquascaper

I think that most of us that start in the hobby around 2000/02 experimented the globe!

who didn't put the hand in the air!!!
There wasn't so much information like now...

So, What are you waiting for?

Show us your first globe

Ps.For your information I still have it at home

Very nice collection of photos FAAO, personally I really like the 120L Lowtech Discus tank, I would really like to setup a tank just like that some day.

dirrtybirdy · 07-18-2008, 02:50 PM

WOW! you have a good eye for aquascaping! all of your tanks are impressive!

Guillermo · 07-19-2008, 08:10 PM

Thanks Filipe, visual stories are great !

aqualover · 07-20-2008, 05:34 AM

I can not find any words to describe my feeling.

Well done, it is fantastic.

HatchetHaven · 07-20-2008, 05:42 AM

You know, I won't try to describe the level of awesomeness of your tanks (Well, excluding the fishbowl) beacause if I did I would be quite frankly very, very stupid, because it is not possible!

You should make it into a Wabi Kusa! A bowl would be a really cool looking Wabi Kusa if you got it right, which if anyone can you can!

Maciek · 07-20-2008, 05:15 PM

Nice idea! Keep up the good work because your scapes are getting better and better - you have worked out your own style over the years. Maybe I should start a similar thread?...

Church · 07-30-2008, 11:39 AM

Absolutely amazing stuff. This is why I consider FAAO to be my biggest inspiration for aquascaping!

chillaquaplants · 07-30-2008, 01:09 PM

You have quite the imagination for scaping tanks. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed seeing your creations.

J House · 07-30-2008, 01:51 PM

Thank you for sharing this with the forum. A treat for the eyes and a great accomplishment. My favorite of course is the goldfish bowl scape. LOL
