This build is a 20 gallon long tank with a Current Satellite LED+ with pressurized CO2. I currently dose twice a week with NilocG Thrive.
Hayao Miyazaki is a director known for films with gorgeous scenery, among other things. One of my favorite of his movies is Ponyo, the story of a magical fish who falls in love with a human, Sousuke. In her attempt to be with him, she brings the entire ocean with her, submerging all but the highest points of the city with an ocean full of renewed life.
Sousuke lives with his mother and father in a house on a bluff near the end of the city.
The city is on a harbor
and is based on the real-life city of Tomonoura.
I decided, for this build, to focus on the shoreline, road, house, and tunnel where Sousuke and Ponyo walk through.
I decided to split the substrate— using Eco Complete for the part that would otherwise have been above water and sand for the ocean floor. I sketched it out
planning the shoreline by Shine, on Flickr
Built the template
shoreline template by Shine, on Flickr
threw and modeled one shoreline
first shoreline by Shine, on Flickr
decided that was too tall so did another
second shoreline by Shine, on Flickr
and that one was lumpy so I stamped some swirls
second shoreline 3 by Shine, on Flickr
second shoreline 2 by Shine, on Flickr
second shoreline swirls 1 by Shine, on Flickr
I have thrown a third shoreline. I still need to make the tunnel, and I’m sorting out which plants I want to use.
