alright, thanks.

[fishman9809]

has more flow to it, but feels empty. Any recommendations?

[@marko@]

keep it. you are making a common mistake, you are forgetting you will have plants in there. you NEED empty space so you have somewhere to plant. i personally like that kind of hardscape, i have a similar one myself, but with even less wood. if you want to see i have a journal in the photo album.

will check later, got to go finish 1/2 practice on violin quick to fill tank.

by all means go right ahead, this is a forum not a chat room, you arent excpected to anounce when you leave.

The rocks look a lot better now, I like the negative space between them, i could just see some HC bubbling out of there. You can always adjust them here and there in the future too.

If you plan to grow a bushy stem plant in the back corner, keep in mind those twigs and stones in the back left, behind the big Y shaped stick, will most likely be hidden by the plant, really any stone behind the wood scape will most likely disappear after the plants grow in. So you can probably use those elsewhere, maybe add to the stone pile up front and stick a few more twigs outward, or even use them on the right side to get back closer to what you had. I like the one sided look too, either way looks good IMO.

lookin great can't wait to see plants in there

It looks great,
Gah i wish i could hardscape!

[Ozymandias]

really looks good and i must say i like the look with all the wood on one side. this should free up more space for plants and allow a couple different plant scapes

[fishman9809]

thanx everyone!!!!!!!!

That's looking really nice, fish- I definitely like the current hardscape quite a bit!

[fishman9809]

Thank you!!!!! If the tank clears later, will get a pic up, if not, will update 2morrow.

[fishman9809]

guyz, the left looks too empty, might move it back, but have 2 islands facing 1 direction. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!

[fishman9809]

k everyone, it hasnt cleared up, so after school I will decide whether or not to move wood and rocks. If I decide to, I will tell you, it just seem too barren, I will try and make the wood span all the way accross, or have it centered, like this:



this tank ranked 6th in the entire world for best nature aquariums.
