Hi everyone!
Here is my first rimless tank. I don't alway have time to photograph it but i'll try to keep updating it.
Tank: Mr. Aqua 12g Long
Substrate: AS Amazonia and powder
Hardscape: Seiryu stones
flora: HC, fissidens fontanus, mini pelia, Micranthemum Umbrosum, and some others.
I wanted to create an aquascape of two islands with some kind of story behind it. Unfortunately I can't think of one and maybe someone else will be inspired by this scape to write one.
But on to some pics.
FTS 52512

Left side
I didn't really like the right side because the stone was so huge. I found two stones to replace them.
Right side(new stones)

Thanks for looking!
Aloha!

looks great, good start, i love DSM, makes it soo much easier to keep your plants rooted and healthy, looks like you wont have to have it too long without water love the stones by the way
I like your hardscape kai, looking good, what kind of lights are you running?
Awesome tank!

Really looking forward to it!

Great job! I thought it was fine with the first rock but still looks really good
Thanks! I'll probably wait another 2-4 weeks. I got something I want to try with this scape.wow that looks awesome! i want to try a 12g long! I just started my 20g iwagami emersed though so I'm gonna have to wait on that lol. How long are you planning to do emersed?
Yuup, DSM does make it root better. Your stone placement in the 10 gallon is pretty impressive too!looks great, good start, i love DSM, makes it soo much easier to keep your plants rooted and healthy, looks like you wont have to have it too long without water love the stones by the way
Thanks ! like sayurasem said it's only a T5NO with some ambient sunlight. I can't wait to see your 12 gal fill in.I like your hardscape kai, looking good, what kind of lights are you running?
Your tank is Awesome too. I hope my HC fills in like yours.Awesome tank!

Haha. I'm gonna save that stone for another scape. I thought it was the perfect stone for this tank, but it didn't work out. I guess I'll have to get another tank.you selling that right side rock you took out? because i want it
Thanks again! I'm happier with this one. It makes it look more like one island instead of 2 rocks.Great job! I thought it was fine with the first rock but still looks really good
Wow, great job on the scape!
Btw I have a question for the 1st picture and 2nd picture. Did you plant all that HC or did it grow and spread.
Nice layout! Really digging these 12 g long scapes.
I'm digging that Concave Rock on the right side as well. Nice layout indeed.
I swear, if you had another concave rock for the opposite side - you could create the gates of oblivion and send your shrimp to all damnation *palms his hands together* MuHAHA
i do love how you got little patches of moss or HC going on the grows - makes it look so ancient

Thanks Man! I might keep it dry like your tank for 90 days. Do you use a scissors to trim the HC? I have a 6''x12'' tank with an HC carpet and it takes 30 minutes to mow that lawn. This tank is going to take hours. I think I should use a waterproof hair clipper. lolWow, great job on the scape!
I think it was mostly planted. I had another small 1.8 gallon tank with an HC carpet. I trimmed it every 2 weeks and just left the trimmings floating in that tank. After awhile, I sprinkled it on the bare patches and let the roots go down. 2 weeks later, i did another trimming an sprinkled it to fill in. Finally, I put on a thin layer of powder Aqua soil.Btw I have a question for the 1st picture and 2nd picture. Did you plant all that HC or did it grow and spread.
The HC is getting very long. I'm trimming it short and leaving the trimming in to grow into a very dense carpet.
I recently drained my 1.8 gallon tank due to mutant blue green algae. I'm in the same boat as you watching it transition to emmersed form.
Thanks! I gotta check out the Aquascapes anniversary sale this weekend. Are you going?Nice layout! Really digging these 12 g long scapes.
Thanks! I'm not sure what to do with that cave. It looks like an eye to me.I'm digging that Concave Rock on the right side as well. Nice layout indeed.
LOL. This tank will be Hell, if I got any expensive shrimp. I'm too lazy to raise them. I'll stick with the wild ones for now.(maybe some blue pearls later)I swear, if you had another concave rock for the opposite side - you could create the gates of oblivion and send your shrimp to all damnation *palms his hands together* MuHAHA

Looks good! Have you thought of using anything as background plants behind the seiryu?
Nice I really like the 12G Long. If it werent for the price I would have one already because its not too big and seems perfect for shrimp. I really envy people like you that have the patients to do DSM. Maybe on my next tank.
