Aquascaping

[jjh302]

I am trying to aqua scape my 20h and I am getting really frustrated. Does anybody have pics of theirs so I can get an idea? It seems all of my rocks are too big or the tank is just too dang small. Lol.

Build arch ways and big rock on bottom

I've always been a fan of the islands look

Here's one of just the rocks from the cycle

How big are your individual rocks? I'm thinking mine are too big. Might have to get a nice hammer out.

I would say most are roughly the size of a softball with a couple smaller ones. I have found it's easier to try out different scapes out of the tank, draw out your tanks foot print on something and try a few different scapes on that and then transfer the one you like into the tank. Also take a TON of pictures while your doing it so if you decide you like the scape you made 5 try's ago you can look back at the pic and re build it

Make some arch ways and like that top rock could be good with some other to make an arch way.

Or like a cave look. Like this

So this is what I've ended up with. Still not 100% satisfied but I told myself I only have 24 hours to set it. There are a lot of caves. Tank looks overly full with rock but it's 25 lbs in a 20 gallon.

You have some nice rocks you could arch ways with!
