Aquascape So Far.

[CrazyDiamond88]

I've been rearranging things and come up with this...
 

 
 
This is my first aquascape, and I am really learning each time I move something around.
 
Let me know what you think, and criticism is appreciated!

i like it, if it was mine id drop the stick sideways instead of straight  up but that might just be me  very healthy plants though well done 

 

[CrazyDiamond88]

Thanks You mean the stick with the java fern on top?

thats the one in my opinion it looks unnatural standing up like that, but then it does have a tree like look to it, it does look great though (way better than my first)

Do you use Co2?  Great tank btw

Mike - I can see what you're saying. I was going for the tree effect though. I can't bring myself to take it down, it was the first breakthrough of my scape lol

Derp - no I don't, is it difficult? And thanks

Looks good! I would put in some background plant of some kind as well as a mid ground plant just behind the rock and to the left.

For the background, some sort of Vallisneria: I've had good luck with my low light (even tho they are often recommended as medium/high light.
 
For a midground plant: some sort of Cryptocorne or Anubias.  Just one plant.

Thank you guys :3

Elrohir - I do have a bit of Val in the back, not much though. Will it grow or should I get more?
I also have hair grass but at the moment they are tiny and hidden behind the hard scape.
I also have an anubias on the small rock in the middle, though it's difficult to see as it's a baby yet. I think I'll move it though as it is smack in the centre of the tank and will look weird when it gets bigger

 

[Alm0stAwesome]

Na, I wouldn't add any more plants. All of those plants are still small and have plenty of growing to do. You'll have loads in no time

Hi really beautiful tank, I hope my first scape comes even half that nice. I really like the tree look. It looks almost palm tree like as opposed to the bonsai look I've seen with mosses. Well done!
