No worries.. I haven't updated this thread in a while. Nothing new to report really. Everything is still sitting on my dining room table...

Well I haven't had much to say about this tank in a while. Nothing has happened with it yet. I still haven't gotten the cabinet or the CO2 system.

I think I will dump some of the substrate in the tank and play around with the rock to see what I can come up with. I might even do that this evening I'm kinda bored.

I'll post some pics if I do.

 

[Ziggy953]

Well like I said I was bored...

Test run #1

Test run #2

Thoughts?

You can't really tell the depth of the substrate in the pics. Without actually setting the tank up and having it against a darker background it is difficult to tell what the layout looks like. I have realized that I want to get a very large master stone for this tank. The rock looks good but I think I need one really large one.

I think the larger rock in the corner in test #1 looks pretty dominant. But I'm the last person to give hardscape advice. The last time I used stones it was as if an OCD chicken was laying eggs in sets of three. The AA crowd "corrected" me.
Good luck with this build.

I personally like #2 more. Seems like it "flows" more than #1

Combine the large rock on the far right from #1 with #2 and you'd have a killer hardscape.

Oh yes you can...

Just an update on the planted tank. Added some stones in the open areas of the tank. Some are a little bright; hoping biofilm and/or algae (even diatoms) tone them down over time.

For some reason, groups of threes makes sense. It's what I do in the garden whenever possible.

I'm with you on that! I like #2 better as well. I still want to get a much larger master stone.

That large rock is in both scapes just positioned differently.

ROFL!!!! OCD Chicken! I envision a tee shirt with that on it!

I like #2 the best, can't wait too see what it looks like with a master stone.

was thinking the same. make no 1 with that rock in the corner stickin out look more like layout no 2 and should be fine.
Repeating shapes does seem to work for hardscapes maybe put another slightly smaller pointy rock just on the left of the corner one?

 

[wilkieam]

I like the layout of #2 best!

So I have been looking at scapes and thinking about this tank. I'm not 100% sure I want to do a standard iwagumi. I just ordered another set of seiyru stones with spider wood. I might do something a little more interesting. I really want the hardscape to break the surface of the water.

I'm really taking my time with this tank, I want to out do the 40B.

Hows this going Ziggster?
