Blue33's Rocky Mountain

[WiNd08]

The peak will look better if it's slightly tilted to the right (just like your other unselected layouts). Looking forward to more pix

after observing it, i think its true!

the early pictures, the tallest peak looks more dramatic

other than that, all other formation is best in the latest picture :P

will catch up on this thread when im back in singapore! byeeee

nice rock and nice hardscape, can't wait to see the finished setup

Thanks! Getting good rocks is really by luck and also must have a good eyesight and visualization of how it going to be, those rocks collected is usually people who dont want it and i find them have character of its own.

Hi adrian really can't wait for your hardscape to complete...

Thanks and stay tune.

Similar tilting thought huh...

Thanks Jervis, you have pointed it out the error, it was during piling up the soil and shifted the rocks higher, the below rocks was tilted more straight, since then i've readjust it to alight to the peak now, it looks much better, will post again on this.

Piling the soil up is no joke job, water current have to control before it causes landslide and making sure the plants really fully grown on it before increasing the water current.

Yeah, for iwagumi scapes, it is best to really pile higher than usual. For my tank, my nice slope became a gentle one after I planted it.

I begin to see new grow in some of the plants, especially Eleocharis Acicularis. I think they will grow like weeds. This is really exciting!
