Criticism and comments welcome.

wow i like how its set up right now. wonder what it would look like with plants and water, looking forward to seeing your tank grow.

There might be life on Mars, but no plants.

**eyebeatbadgers** · 04-09-2008, 03:12 PM

Looks like a good start. What size tank is that?

wearsbunnyslippers · 04-09-2008, 03:30 PM

scape looks awesome, cant wait for the rest

**lauraleellbp** · 04-09-2008, 11:31 PM

Very nice hardscape!

What plants and fish are you planning?

garuf · 04-09-2008, 11:48 PM

A very nice and original scape, but I feel it needs some vertical hardscape to match the root like wood you have already, other than that I can't wait to see how it grows out, it looks really promising.

**Ozymandias** · 04-09-2008, 11:55 PM

vary nice with i could do that. i would think you would want mostly low lying plants like a carpet of HC or something

Thanks everybody

eyebeatbadgers: It is a 40 breeder, I'm running 2x55 watt pcs and and a Rena xp3.

lauraleellbp: I'll give you a hint on the flora and fauna, I have VERY soft water

garuf: I hadn't considered adding any vertical pieces. I'm going to have to sit in front of the tank with a beer and ponder that one for a while.

My LFS is getting a shipment friday after next, which may have some rare plants. It looks like I have a date for planting!

this scape is fresh! if you add more vertical elements it won't be so innovative anymore.
