DaveSamsell Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 It is indeed great to enjoy nature on a daily basis. Now, if I can only learn to Aqua-scape. 😅 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ed's Aquatics Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I'm not sure if you were being serious or not. You're definitely keeping healthy fauna and growing great plants, and I like the tanks how you have them. If you're serious about changing the scape, check out George Farmer's or MD Tanks YouTube channel. Lots of great aquascaping videos, super helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSamsell Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hello Edward Steven, Yes, I was serious. These are my first attempts at keeping aquariums, so it looks "ok". Have a lot to learn. The many healthy plants from the Co-Op helps a lot. Thanks for the reply & the tips!. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Ed's Aquatics Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 One tip I got early on was try to scape the tank in 1/3rds and avoid symmetry. Keep the taller stem plants in the back 1/3 of the tank, medium height centerpiece plants like big swords and such in the middle 1/3. And keep the smaller and carpet plants in the front 1/3. Maybe plant one side heavier than the other, or have separation off center. One tip I learned along the way, feature big, almost oversized hardscape and plant around it. Draws the eye, and then you notice all the details. Great stone or driftwood really completes a scape. Happy aquascaping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
