I'm thinking about tearing out everything in my tank and adding a different substrate, and totally rescaping everything into an island aquascape.

I'm thinking about using a lot of rocks and larger pieces of driftwood and lots of different kinds of java fern and anubias. Anybody have any suggestions?

That's a classic ADA type scape. If you haven't been look through the videos on their youtube channel. Just leave out the background of stems and you have half the scapes there.

Use sand around the island unless you are using CO2 and can grow a gc of some sort.

I don't know if this is anything like what your referring to, but there is a user on here who has helped me inspire this idea.

Love their tank and the simplicity of it.

Lovely tank! Yes, it is similar to the scapes shown on the ADA channel. Go for it. You could make it a center island if that suits the tank's location in the room if you prefer.
