Andrew It looks fantastic you should be extremely pleased with your self now. Next step is the hardest keep on top of every thing and you will learn and enjoy it even more. Keith
Yes, fantastic Andrew - like it very much! Do you also see the interesting melancholic face in the back stone - even from the side, you can see it... Nice to have a "sculpture" in the tank.
I hadn't noticed; no! A couple of quick snaps from the other evening; not intended to win any awards!
Andrew Not that far back you would have thought an aquascape like that would be impossible. Looks like you are controlling everything and it's not controlling you. Keith
Well I'd say your iwagumi is a definite success Andrew, I think you've got this scaping malarky licked. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the 900
Than you Tim, I really like the look of Iwagumi I just wish I could find a fish that seemed happy in the environment. The 900 is started but long from finished............... https://glassboxgardeners.com/threads/andrews-aquascaper-900.663/ I'm started Keith (link above) but there's no rush; I can just slowly add as I go. This will be slower growing plants so less work hopefully. Comments welcome as always. Andrew
Andrew Not until you are ready my suggestion new if you see anything you like save it and store it ready when you are. Keith
