Cinnebuns Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 So I'm finally working on my first aquascape unless you count the one I did kinda randomly before this. I have been playing around both out and inside the tank. I've settled between these 2 options for the tree and dragon stone. Which do you like better? Notice I did move the amazon sword behind them for each. All other plants are still being fully determined. I'm also including 2 pics of the 2nd design. One I moved stuff forward more to avoid the tree being under the filter outflow but then I'm concerned about the front rock being too close to the glass and fish possibly getting stuck. Any suggestions on plants is welcome. Some ideas I have are cabomba, crypt pink flamingo, maybe some Java fern. Possibly some ludwigia super red I'm not sure. I believe my light would be classified as medium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Can the rocks be placed more upgright / vertical or do they not have the base to support that weight in that direction. I like the rocks in the first one, plants in the second one. That sword is pretty beefy and tall. I think it might do well in one of the corners of the back of the tank. It's sort of difficult to see everything, I just mean it's probably easier in person to see it and position things around. I would get the rocks settled, get your big plants placed, and then decide placement for everything else.

The plants aside from the anubias on the tree and the amazon sword are just randomly placed around for now. I maybe shouldn't have included them in the pics tbh.

It used to be insanely full and lush with leaves that were very green and strong. I dealt with a lot of algae on it and it's coming back now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sword on the left, the bushy thing on the right. No idea what it is. But the tree is similar in color to the rock, I like it as a piece with those rocks.

Maybe you mean the anubias that's glued onto the tree! It does kinda look funny in the pic since it's not full yet. I don't have enough anubias to fill it all out yet so it kinda looks disjointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 It'll look good and be a good centerpiece when it's filled. That + rocks is your triangle of sorts for the "aquascaping gurus" out there. I just make it so I like it and don't follow generally any normal guidelines or golden ratios. To me, aesthetically, that texture of the "tree" fits those rocks. Whether it's inbetween them, behind them, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I like the rock position in the first picture. I would try the tree to just behind the rocks near the middle of the tanks just to distract from that bare truck while it grows in It will look quite cool when the anubias roots are dangling from the branches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean moving the amazon sword? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
