please, please, please plant the tank and let it grow in, then move the wood if you are still unsatisfied. its easy to move a hardscape. and its a very good scape. having wood going along the whole span of the tank looks like a wall and is often too abrupt because its up to the surface, or almost, right from the foreground. when its like that you can build up to it.

took out the dreop checker. Show me some scapes of the wood positioning you think would look best. the pic I posted about 7 hrs aago, at the bottom of page 13 is my favprite. Or the APC aquascaping contest 1st place, they are my favorite, post ur favorite tank, and the wood scape, so I get an idea of an imitation/improvisation I should make.

thanks again,

Nick

I personally liked the last one better, but then assymetrical scapes are always my fav.

If you're going for the look in that last scape pic though, I think what you have now is a really good start...

In the end, fish, you're the one that will be looking at it and so it needs to be something you'll be happy with.

Sleep on it, and see what you think tomorrow is my advice?

yea, the last one was good, but I think it was too far to the left, a little bit more to the right, and I think it will be nice. I'll wake up early 2morrow and try around some scapes, I will post pics of the scapes I make.

By the time you are done messing with the scape, you aren't going to have any AS left. Just what appears to be chocolate pudding.

this will limit your background size, and the background is also algae control. however, do what you want. tanks need to show their owners individuality.

Biscuitslayer, I know what you mean, I am trying to hurry and find a balanced scape so the AS doesnt powderize. It is sooooooooo easy to crumble. I'll try something that starts from the left, but stretches far across the tank.

I still liked it over more to the left, but I think that could work?

the one to the left had more flow, but this has more balance, so I guess you have to lose some to win some.
