This tank reminds me of Amano-san

Very nice

Ghost, get some pale/whitish schooling rasboras, you'll have completed the zen feel to this tank.

A very nice simple tank. Is not easy to achieve the dropping effect of growing rotala green.

Time to hunt for that rock...

Hi

Time for update

I was boring with this big stone so....i say "good bye" and i make more open space

[|squee|]

*swoons*

Now I don't know which one is nicer. !

[andrewtyr]

I like ripple effect on top. Your tank is pretty shallow, care to share why you chose these dimensions?
The rocks are also very nice, where did you get them? Here in Singapore, we have to import our rocks for scaping, hence you don't much rocks as the centre piece of our scapes.

Awesome tank! I prefer the first picture. It gave me a nice feeling of watching sunset. The second picture seems very "cloudy"...

Personally, I feel that having some shorter hairgrass at the back of the centre will improve the DOF.

The rescape is good! Very nice as well....kinda hard to decide which one looks better Both haf its own uniqueness

[gregorsamsa]

overall i have the following to say,

1.the trimming/pruning of the leaves looks good.

2. the new rocks and placement looks nice. All except the middle rock which seems very "sexual" and phallic to me.

3. very nice photography. The sun set lighting looks really inspiring. time for you to get some nice schooling fishes

4. submit for ADA!!!

How many tanks do you have? looking forward to your new works

Thank for comments

I tray answer that (sorry for poor english)

why you chose these dimensions?

I like long, panoramic tank with ratio 1:2.4-1:3 (for example standard ADA 120x45x45 or 180x60x60) but i don't have place (and money ) in my room for big tank. My tank is kind of small version 120cm tank

The rocks are also very nice, where did you get them?

I buy it in shop. I think that are polish rocks but i don't know exactly what kind.

It gave me a nice feeling of watching sunset. The second picture seems very "cloudy"...

Yes. The first one is "sunny" . When i shoot foto i put 18W/2700K bulb behind tank (in front of background) and another lamp above tank (on the left).



I tray also orange background but efect was....hmm...funny "strike of mad oranges"

1.the trimming/pruning of the leaves looks good.

Trimming isn't perfect. I trim rotala before i removed big rock...but i hope will be better in next 2-3weeks

time for you to get some nice schooling fishes

Yes, i know. I'm waiting for fishes from asia (boraras brigittae), i hope they will be in tank in may.

4. submit for ADA!!!

I submit for ADA...but not with this tank. I send my 180l tank (I will show this tank in may )

How many tanks do you have? looking forward to your new works

Now i have only two tanks. In february i terminate(? sorry i dont know have this say in english ) my 180l tank. I also terminate my small (25l) shrimp tank. I very like aquascaping but i'm only year "in game" and I just traying be good in my hobby.

[djviper]

WA!!! look like sunset

[KeIgO86]

wow... it looks more like a 4ft den a 2ft tank to me.. really love the raising terrain..

[kelloggs]

Hi Ghost,

really nice rockscape you have composed.. in my view, you have the talent and I highly recommend you to take part in the upcoming 2005 ADA aquatic layout competition.. maybe we are the 1st few to see you tanks here in the top category..all the best!

[kayser78]

beautiful job. the bunch of mm seen in the picture with the diy light hood looks good too.

[wong1979]

Everything is perfect except for that center piece of rock. Maybe you will need to play around to find its final resting place. Other than that, good job!

[Dalles]

You mean you are only one year old in this hobby? And can do such aquascapes? Gee, indeed you are good!

Tell me, please, what generate those waves on the water surface? Have a fan mounted in the hood?

Heh...thanks
Some history
I start adventure with aquaristic auqust 2003 with some "glass ball" and gold fish (i know, that was stupid but i was beginner). Then i even know what water change is . In January 2004 i setup my 180l tank (standart SA biotop with 2x30W bulb). In April 2004 i rescape my tank(with CO2 and 4x30W) and start adventure with plants . I think i have some artistic skils (i draw a lot in past) so aquascaping isn't very hard for me
You can see some my old picture here:

I used a hair dryer ...sometimes i use my mouth

Just a personal preference, I like the first aquascape with the big rock. It looks more soothing and more muted.
The later one has a centre rock that seems to be grabbing too much attention. Not sure if removing it would be better? Or have more plants growing behind it?
