Think stones and DW possibilities!!!

Have you seen Ponyo? So lovely. There's a good amount of the movie with the city underwater, and it otherwise is just beautiful.




This is the harbour that I would like to scape-


With the sea in front and land in back. This is a sketch-


I have black eco complete, and, since the ocean shelf is sand, I think I think I would actually want to split the substrate.

I'm probably being overly ambitious. I'm trying to figure out how to balance my abilities with my vision.

I can't wait to see this completed! I love all of Hayao Miyazaki's films, especially Ponyo. I watched it many times with my siblings growing up, and when I have kids I intend to watch it with them, too. It's just such a wonderful film with gorgeous animation... sorry, I've gone on a little rant, but anyways, I am super excited that you're going to do this scape, and I bet it'll be beautiful. Best of luck!

Haven't seen the movie, but you can do anything and if it doesn't work the first time, change until it does or if no way to fix it, time for a new scape!!! People use all sorts of under sand/substrate dividers to keep things separated. I have been wanting to ad a "sandbox" in the front area of my big tank to give the corries a really fun place to play in soft sand.

I'm building the shore with stoneware, since that's my wheelhouse. Here's my guide. It's big because this particular clay shrinks 17% when fired.

So very awesome!!!

According to my shrink ruler, this will be just about three inches high. That seems really high. I'm not sure if I should move forward with it.

Thank you.

Why is that? 3" substrate is fine...? If my guess is correct, if it doesn't work, you can make another one a little shorter???

True. Just considering that the tank is 12" deep, this divider would be a quarter of the way high? I can always make a shorter one, but I'm eager to get this together. I usually only fire one bisque and one glaze per month, so that would mean waiting a long time. Or just making two to begin with. Hmm.

Make 2 sell one, heck make 3 sell 2...

I'm probably going to sell the tree that I had made for this tank. It won't work with this set-up.

I'll be watching the classifieds!

This new build deserves its own thread.
