Tree root scape- Open for speculation || Photos and Videos

**sumer** · 01-12-2013, 04:59 AM

Here's my scape in an ADA 60-P.
Comments and critiques are welcome.

And yeah, my water parameters are-
KH- 3dKH
GH- 4dKH
TDS- 62 ppm

So if by looking at the scape, any plants come to your mind that will look good in the scape, please mention them.

i like the first scape better. i has good balance and once planted should have nice depth. but i do like how that larger lower piece of driftwood protrudes towards the front of the tank in the last scape

Nice! I haven't looked at the vid yet, but pic #4 is my favorite. I like the compositions best that have the base "roots" coming forward towards the viewer - they give a good feeling of depth. And I love the little curlicue spirals leading up & out of the tank. Fantastic pieces of wood!

Number 4. The arrangement of the wood looks great.

I personally like #5. If it was me, I'd get some Java moss and spread it along the top of those roots so that it's half out of the water, then maybe get a small philodendron and plant it in the fork up at the top. Phils love being able to run most of their roots into water.

I like #5s base and the top half of 4

You just stole my thoughts.

**MABJ** · 01-13-2013, 06:59 PM

I like the base of number one best with the top of 4, however the top of 4 could easily be lost in plants or moss, so I'd extend the bottom over doing a fancy top.

I like scape #4
