It's actually fairly simple - get a tray kindof bowl from any decor shop along with the buddha - make sure it's of stone make, arrange hardscape as per liking an' wolla..your ready.. plants used here are xmas moss as the ground cover, micro tenellus an' M. hirsuta. Will be adding a bit of DHG at the back perhaps today. yeah soil used is controsoil 4mm topped with 2mm. that's all, i use a mister to spray water from my existing tanks so ferts too are supplied along with that, hope this helps. |

| End point is the most beautiful. If you could somehow age the buddha statue, it will look more natural. Maybe rub it with a sand paper a little and then apply a layer of cement and water. The cement colour will make it look more natural. Its awesome as it is, this is just a suggestion of what I thought. |

Please share the specs of the tanks and how did you manage to get the orange background that make the scape stand out.
By the way all the scapes are good.
