The title, "Side of the Volcano," tank idea inspired by my time hiking mount Fuji in Japan. I think I might be ripping out the glosso in the front right corner though.

I have mixed feelings about this aquascape, and frankly my passion for aquascaping right now is not where I wish it was.

I'll try to get some more good shots before I take it down though (next week tuesday after I'm done with finals).

specs:

60cm x 30cm x 36cm
Aquasoil Amazonia (powder and normal)

Plants:
Rotala macrandra "green"
Rotala rotundifolia "green"
Hemianthus micranthemoides
Myriophyllum sp.
Glossostigma elatinoides
Eleocharis accicularis

Fish:
Neon Tetra
Flame Tetra
Gold Pristella Tetra
Penguin Tetra
Amano Shrimp

Loving it. Keep up the good work. I like how there are open spaces. Are you gonna grow out the glosso to cover up the open spaces? Keep us growing.

Hey Steven. It's been a long time. I really enjoy the open spaces in the fore ground. It breaks up the monotony of we see quite a bit with glosso.

It would look better if the glosso was tighter to the substrate. Still a nice tank

Very nice "island" scape!

The only thing I didn't like was those rocks on the right, they look camouflaged with the black soil...

See ya

@Snyper-- hey dude!

@Big-- well, not much I can do about that. Plenty of light, ADA fert regimen, I got the glosso creeping, but it did it's thing. *shrugs*

@Lucs-- Thanks! @Rocks-- Because when you go to a volcanic area, the black volcanic rocks are . . . different from the ground covered with smaller, black, volcanic rocks . . . i'll buy that.

BTW I ripped out everything and cleaned out everything today anyway. lol
