saintly's low light plant IWAGUMI - Aquascaping

saintly · 07-01-2009, 06:23 AM

OK, i'm trying to attempt an iwagumi using some different plants. i.e crypts and moss.

this scape is the follow on from my LFS display and it's in the same tank.

here's a few images. nothing is final on the layout but it gives you the first impressions.

i'll have the "final layout" @ the weekend.

Nice first impression.

thanks veloth

i fell short with stone, so i've changed the layout slightly, going down the more traditional layout.

here's what the final layout is like.

The new layout is better. The first picture reminds me of a scene from a movie my daughter watched as a child "The Never Ending Story".

Nice job. Like the detail around the base of the rock structures. Has a dramatic look that I think you'll have to plant carefully to maintain.

Good grief. It's beautiful as it is. You've got an excellent eye. Just leave it as it is and tell folks it's your "pet rock" habitat.

lol pet rocks... hahaha i left my hc emmersed for a month with a nice rockscape and my parents thought I was collecting rocks as a new hobby. They finally called me on it a month later, and I told them why I was doing that. they laughed their ass off as theyreally though those were my pet rocks. By the way the iwagumi looks awesome... cant wait to see it with plants
