I thought i would keep this thread going.
This has been giving me a little trouble for a while but now everthing is back on course.
This not the final layout yet,I want to change a couple of thing's around before i'm happy with it so far it coming along nicely except for the glosso still lagging behind

Just spent the last hour reading through all this thread and wow what a journey!

Your scapes are always amazing and watching the progress of your scapes from start to finish is just awsome!

When you plan a scape.. do you have a visual in your mind of what you want it to look like?

Not really i don't have anything in mind to start.
I just go with the old foreground midground backgroud and just arrange as i go.
Or i try for the golden triangle

An update in need of a trim

[Blakey]

Looks awsome!

I only got a 2ft tank so playing with foreground and backround is hard as there really isnt much room... so instead im trying a new scape using "sideground" the left hand side and right hand side of the tank.

Going for a mangrove effect of wood coming from the back right hand corner spreading out with the plants coming out from them then covering the rest of the tank with glosso and hair grass.

hair grass is just starting to take off in the scape it is in now but yeah gunna change it around to this new one hopefully tonight!

Will do a photo documentary of it maybe like you did!

Any tips for photographing the fishtank. I got a digital slr but i just havnt got my head around to aquarium photography.

Would be nice if you could post your travel's with your tank,I just find hard to picture it in my head

Tip for taking pictures of tank: i have none just snap away adjust the settings and hopefully i get one that looks good.

Looks fantastic Ivano, is that the little tank or your 6 footer?

Certainly very different from what I saw last haha

Is that foreground plant glosso?

[duck]

Hi& thanks Vincent.
t's my little tank and this attempted scape is nearing it's end of it's life,tHenon to a new one,I like to change thing's around so i don't get bored(Which i don't think will happen )
The 6ft needs more time than i have at the moment to get anything halve decent.

The foreground is Glosso.

Looking good, nice clean look you've got going there, give us a shout if you are going to throw out any of that pearl grass(micramthemoides)
BTW how go the plans for the plant swap day?

Duck, crank up the CO2. Looks like you have enough light. Put in some Fe. Watch the E S go red.
