Start of a rescape... not really seen the fruits of my labour yet...Water was very cloudy... it looks less cloudy on the photo to be honest!

Always wanted to try an iwagumi... problem is i ended up adding too many plants... it's just confirmed that this isn't my style...

Littlefish · « **Reply #75 on:** March 09, 2019, 10:15:30 PM »

Great scape.

I understand the iwagumi style, though have a preference for something more natural.

This became Grettas (RIP) tank and since her passing has been shrimp filled again. It is also back to the no tech approach (just a light, no heater or filter).

The scape however hadn’t changed until now...

I quite spur of the momently decided to rescape after collecting some rock locally... I had been thinking of doing some kind of river theme for a while - I guess this is a cross between river and Aquascape... I went for the go big or go home approach lol... photo below.

Tank had only just been filled when the photo was taken so there’s still a bit of cloudiness and to be honest I’ve spotted some improvements to make since I’ve been able to look at the photo (a certain toddler woke up just after filling the tank lol). Nevertheless - here’s a pre completion preview!!

I like the riverscape/aquascape/?mountainscape mix.

Littlefish · « **Reply #78 on:** February 12, 2021, 08:27:57 PM »

Nice rework.

I have a preference for the more natural looking set ups, and this one really appeals to me.
I don't have any leaves or cones in any of my tanks at the moment, and looking at your layout I just realised that I kind of miss having them. Look like I might have to do some online shopping soon.

Matt · « **Reply #79 on:** February 12, 2021, 08:30:06 PM »

Thanks both.

Or go collecting them @Littlefish - these were collected locally - oak, beech and alder cones
