Well due to a general expenses of life I’m unable to afford to buy new substrate etc for the tank at this stage. I’ve sold a heap of plants out of the current scape and thrown in a heap from the Ada tank so it was looking extremely messy.
I had a big morning pulling everything out and getting rid of all the decaying leafs and crappy looking plants that I’ve neglected. Trimmed off all the bad bits and I’ve made a new Dutch scape to grow out till the new year untill I can afford to do the nature scape I want to do.
I’ve put the rule of thirds into Practice so I’ve designed 3 focal points off center (ar mini, ar large, ludwigia glandulosa). I think the design I’ve put down is solid and should look really nice if I’m able to use the correct trimming techniques that have let me down in the past.
My scapes have always looked abit messy due to my lack of skills with trimming and possibly a lack of light aswell as the plants tend to bend abit rather than grow directly up.
I hope to better my skills with this one and hopefully pull off a scape that is more pleasing to the eye with neater, tighter bunch’s of plants.
Please ignore the anubias in the middle as it’s just there because I have no where to store it currently haha [emoji23]
