discus_noob Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hi guys, Come across this today and thought that it was very unique and different. Not many would go down this path so I found it interesting and a refreshing change from many of the aquascapes found today; What are your thoughts on it? Obviously it is a minamalist style scape so it is left very simple and elegant however to me it is very pleasing on the eye. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeroyRiding Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Wowsers, thats pretty cool, I wonder if for the last part he took the filters and all out just for the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discus_noob Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yes it is. Be bloody hard to use a canister filter system or a hang on that did not disturb the neatness of the sand around the lake or the lagoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah1234 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 It's certainly very beautiful and original. Not something I would do however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zane Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 keeping the sand off the lake would be a NIGHTMARE. None the less its a really nice scape. I think the back needs to be a bit higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmunroe Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 keeping the sand off the lake would be a NIGHTMARE... id say it was glued on prior to being submerged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discus_noob Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 His comment from youtube was "No, I have no problems with the sand. 2 times a week, I trim the contours of "shore". Without the strong flow and shrimps, sand holds its shape. Two or three times I've replaced the sand completely. sorry for my english)" So it is just placed there and would be an absolute nightmare like Zane said. I have enough problems with the sand in my 40cm aquascape let alone somthing where the sand is so intricate like the above scape. Screw that haha! I agree it does need a higher background behind the moss but leave the moss background present to add a little more depth behind it. Some eleocharis would of been nice behind there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
