first look on the top picture, was mistakenly thought it was taken on a real landscape!

thumbs up for it!

OMG, really blew me away when I saw this. Great work gary and welcome to Aquatic Quotient.

I like the pictures they are great, but I like the adventurous use of materials even more.

In this setup I presume white filter floss used to portray water running down a slope?

Wow.

That's creative and well executed. Not many people can be creative and do it well too!

**planted86** · 30th May 2006, 20:57

wow... how did you do that effect?? the water effect...

**ranmasatome** · 30th May 2006, 21:39

Gary.. very nice scape.. i had thought of doing this for a long time already but never got down to it due to my circumstances... very good to see a scaper that finally came up with it!! i'm lovin it..

I would suggest using smaller rocks..and rocks that aren't so uniform.. your rocks, because of their size and uniformity, seem to take away some of the natural essence of the scape. Still this tank makes me want to go back to scaping... nice work.

Another great aquascape! The bar has been raised. And it's not within my grasp.

Are there any step-by-step pics of how this aquascape has been created?

**Jungle-mania** · 30th May 2006, 22:53

WHOAH!!!! It is fantastic!!! As much as I agree with Ranmastone on the size of the pebbles, it is really incredible. What do you guys in Hong Kong do to get such skill and imagination? Again, WHOAH!!

**Justikanz** · 31st May 2006, 00:38

WOW! WOW! WOW!...

Seems like a real waterfall in the first picture! What is the material used for that effect?

Looks like a HUGE tank too...

Wow... If there is a place in HK where such tanks are being displayed, I am sure it will be a must-go-destination when we are at HK!...

**ranmasatome** · 31st May 2006, 00:59

Have a good look justikanz.. you'll see what is being used...

**Justikanz** · 31st May 2006, 01:06

can't tell... looks like cotton wool...

**ranmasatome** · 31st May 2006, 01:11

Well.. its gary's tank..i'm not going to spoil the fun..

Dear all

Gary Wu is in fact one of the most creative aquascaper in our group.
His "Scarely Waterfall" really sock us all

However beside his "waterfall" actually pls don't forget to enjoy his charming layout, great skill of planting, his technique of photography, his "well trained" school of fish , which all show his enthusiastic and heart in aquascaping.

Gary, what a great job!

**Aquaspot World** · 31st May 2006, 08:21

Really top-notch aquascaping. You guys will do a tremendous job in pushing this wonderful hobby. Cheers!

Hello,
cant say more, its wonderful.
Personally I think this was the best of the series...so far!
just wanted to ask some Questions:
the waterfall seems to be created with sand right? how do you keep it so clean and yet so well positioned to mimic a real waterfall? dont you fauna help your water fall to become 'black-spotted', if you get what I mean..
like the rest, I am also curious to find out what you used to make the splashes; I think the 'water flow' is sand, but what created the churnings or splashes?

very creative setup, thank you!

**Fei Miao** · 31st May 2006, 11:51

Really creative use of materials, impressive
