Default ADG/ADA 120cm tank

Some who saw the recent post of a brand new 90cm had inquired about the color of the rock and I noted how much it ages/matures in the tank over time. This is that same rock featured here in this 120cm ADG client installation.
This layout keeps with my (new-found) emphasis on simplicity and the quest for a sort of "irreducible" quality. Of course I still have much to learn.

Another stellar layout Jeff. You always one-up yourself

On another note, have you ever done any iwagumi layouts mainly with micro tenellus? Amano loves the stuff and I am thinking about using it primarily in my next layout. I'd love to hear any experiences or thoughts you may have on it.

Those rocks were orangy at the start?? ..neat!! The greenish patine that comes over them over time really makes them look amazing. Eager to see how the 90cm turns out.

Thanks guys.

Yes-- this is the same rock type as used in that 90cm recently posted. They change really nicely, which I have found to be true of many rocks/rock types.

So if the character is good, sometimes you have think about how rocks might age if the initial color is not what you are after because all rock is going to change color under water and good light, etc. And we all know how hard it is to find good rock in the first place!

Another great scape Jeff. I really appreciate the simple and may I say "airy" style. I really like the layout!

Here is a full system and some "space" shot. Please enjoy the fine view of beautiful ADA components.

Much better shot IMO, the location shot really gives a better feel for this scape, very very nice work.
