Craig's 60cm ADA tank

[pleco4me]

Hey All,

Its been a month now and the tank is doing well - except for my poor little downoi maybe my SAE's have been eating it? hmmm

I have now got lots of different mosses - Xmas, peacock, weeping and two types of fissidens - growing on the wood.

Anyway, no more talking, heres the pics

Full tank shot - notice the freshly trimmed hedges of rotala green

Nice! What is miss Little Red Riding Hood doing in your tank?

[insider]

Look nice, but with the red plant seems to distract me.

Simple and pleasant to the eye. I like it, nothing to nit pick about. What a great scape.

[Kristen]

It looks way better The rocks make a great focal point.

wow, i personally prefer 2nd scaping....makes me drool...how i wish i can have such nice tank set-up.

[Jervis]

A masterpiece... a much better scape compared to the first one

Great work, can really tell that you have improved your skill in planting as well as your rocks arrangement. Keep us update and glad to learn from you too. Cheers.

The switching to rocks makes a great improvement to the scape. Thumbs up!

[Verminator]

Definately much better 2nd scape. Simply stunning. Don't let the background overtake it with its growth. Keep it under control because it looks amazing! Well done.

The change in scaping indeed reflects your progress in aquascaping.

Looking at the photo right now, it would be great to trim the rotola sp. "green" (if I am seeing correctly) into thicker bunches, with slopes and allowing it to "flow" more to the front. This way you will have a very strong shape and depth.

Do keep us updated.

I am really happy you all like my second scape better

the_r0ck - Yes, When the rotala grows thicker, I will trim it into a nice flowing shape, to complement the rocks. Thanks for your idea.

I will keep you updated weekly

i dont like your second scape.
i totally love it!
if only i am that good with scaping... i've been trying to achieve that effect in my 1ft cube but it still have a long way to go.
great job!

I like the first scape. Nice arrangement of plants. Having a bunch of red plants right at the back of the java ferns behind the driftwood may have created a more interesting look.

The 2nd scape looks good too except that i feel the biggest rock is too centralized. Good job mate.

How many watts of lighting are you using?
