once again, AWESOME pic #2 looks like something out of an ADA aquajournal, and let me tell you, thats a good thing!!!

awesome! I'd like to hear how difficult it will be to maintain when it starts to overgrow. Is it?

I'll be finding out soon

I think what'll happen is once it gets too thick the HC will just float up since this is what happens to others with thick HC carpets. The UG is mixing with the HC in some areas though; I'm just going to let the scape grow wild without trimming for a few more weeks/months before I tear the tank down and start with a new scape.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

I didn't read the hole thread but i did read some of it. Sweet little tank you got there!! How many LB of substrate do you have? I have a 2 gallon tank also but its not a cube, its a bow front acrylic tank. You made me want to set up my 2 gallon tank! LOL.

why a new scape?

Yoshi · 12-01-2007, 06:04 PM

ikuzo... I don't know why exactly I like doing that, I just do. I figure if I'm going to re-plant the carpet, I might as well re-arrange the rocks for a new aquascape while I'm at it. I think it has something to do with me just getting tired of looking at the same thing. So far, my scapes usually last ~1/2 yr. I think I'm going to leave the current scape "as-is" until the UG has completely invaded the HC. I want to achieve a good blend of both plants for a more natural feeling around the rocks. I'll post an updated picture of the tank when that happens.

I don't like the idea of an aquascape being permanent, it's more challenging to create unique scapes and the only way you get experience is by trying new things and learning from your mistakes. So, I like re-scaping my tank to see what other styles/themes in nature that I can attempt to re-create. I hope that makes sense, I ramble too much.

Yoshi · 01-13-2008, 12:11 PM
