My Rescaped 3ft tank

**chua** · 22nd Oct 2005, 22:29

Hi all,

The following attached is my 3 ft tank.

Edit: The pic was a bit too small. So I had attached another larger pic.

All comments are welcome.

Thanks.

Very nice slope! You might want to remove the crypt altogether or add somemore, right now I think it sticks out like a sore thumb imho.

beautiful!!!

u should consider to remove the crypt. it's neither here nor there. just my 5 cents comment..........

**taz_boy** · 24th Oct 2005, 01:29

very beautiful!!!!
care to share the tank specs and flora...etc...

**StanChung** · 24th Oct 2005, 02:12

mmm, very nice reveal of the gorgeous wood texture. one instance the bw is not to be covered by moss!

have to say agree with bros on the crypt. as much as i like crypts...it's either gotta be densely planted to peak into corner or removed altogether...

nice use of the windelovs

i like the way the DW is arranged.

My two cents : I think the crypt should be move to the back corner and more crypt can be added.

Is that Windelov along the slope?
It is well-used, I thought it is just another ugly plant. hee...very nice indeed.

Simply beautiful. How long have u set up this tank.

**chua** · 25th Oct 2005, 21:09

Hi sammajor,

I just do a rescaped 1 month+ ago.

But i used back the same foreground, the windelov fern and the crypts which is with me for more than a year.

Thanks for the comments.

**Fei Miao** · 26th Oct 2005, 10:47

Mmm.. you removed the MMs and replace with Cyperus helferi...

The scape looks better and a lot softer now, and the crypts brings out good variation against the tenellus and DW in the open area, I like it.

Do keep us updated on this tank

**sammajor** · 30th Oct 2005, 09:59

Oic,maybe can consult and comment from you if i rescape my tank.

**chua** · 30th Oct 2005, 23:11

Hi sammajor,

No pro. I can help.

We can learn from each other.

**chua** · 28th Jan 2006, 12:18

Hi all,

After hearing the comments, i had made some slight changes.

Now, my 3ft tank is mature already.

Feel free to give your valuable comments.

Thanks.

Btw, Happy Chinese New year to all of you.

You know, if you took away the black background... the overall effect will be more stunning. imho anyway

**benny** · 28th Jan 2006, 14:56

Hmm maturing along nicely and just in time for Chinese New Year! Personally, I would prefer a scape that is not 50/50 down in the middle. The right half looks full and the left half looks zen.

Cheers,

p.s. I've uploaded the pictures into your gallery and linked them directly into the post. This way, you get much bigger pictures. More impact for such a beautiful scape.

**ranmasatome** · 28th Jan 2006, 23:07

Agree with Terence...about the black background

**Justikanz** · 29th Jan 2006, 02:36

I LOVE both scapes... Black background or not... Wow!

May I know what is the background plant?

**StanChung** · 30th Jan 2006, 00:26

with white bg all the equipment will be visible... so how?

photoshop?

crop...don't show bit of left side?

otherwise looks very good...perhaps polish the water a bit...looking a bit green...or is that just the low res pix?
