30cm tank: Avalanche

The problem is you have 3 paths, so the focus point end up to be the biggest rocks which is unique. You can try to make the other 2 path to be less obvious or you can put bright light at the back during photo taking to make viewer draw to it. Something like sunset or sunrise.

It is much nicer then when it start. I think you need to be more serious on the Aquascaping, you have great talent .

i guess so too. i tried variations like blocking the other paths and also stacking a more dramatic background using sharper, higher
looking rocks but maybe with the limited stuff i have (after hammering big rocks into small pieces) , this could be the optimum i could
achieve, but im stil quite happy with it as it serves the purpose

the purpose of this scape is for me to practice on rock only hardscape arrangement (something i never tried)
and also trying to learn how to create a sense of bigger scale but using a smaller tank. so its really an experimental effort.
i understand the flaws much better now, thanks to the advice from everyone here, the advice you guys given me are very constructive, thanks!

thanks for the compliment! im really flattered, especially coming from you, thats great encouragment. im stil finalizing and sourcing for hardscape and etc
for my 60cm tank, hope to start scaping that before january.

If have some more green and little fine pebbles and you're ready for IAPLC competition. Good hard scape you have there!

thanks! might add in a little bit more mini pellia/fissiden if it permits.

iaplc i need to get a digital camera, i shot this with my handphone
and probably really take my own time and clean the tank and do some adjustments
before i take the shot. need a fan to create the ripple effect. i use a dipping finger to coax
the fishes to stay close and also create a ripple

pardon the shameless bump.

Nice. Very interesting concept. Do you encounter any algae issues?

[meowink]
