oh! Is it silicon glue? Are you not using any ADA soil for plantation?
This layouts looks very good and unusual. Keep up good work. Waiting to see the final look.  |

Thanks Shelly, Ramdas.
I dont think so, these are almost the same rock(atlaest the source) I used in my first tank, cant recall whether that time I had done the acid test or not, but will check and confirm.

Hi Partha..In my opinion, attempt was to create a barren landscape and rocks depicting hills . Any small height plant will do more justice to the scape. Current choice of plants are reducing the height perception of hills ( rocks ) . Dwarf hair grass and any carpet plant will do great and create an illusion of grassland and hills jutting out of it.
Regards
Sanjay Dubey |

thanks Chintu!!!
Sanjay: your concept is not the same as mine, I dont want to create any grass land here, let see if I can manage to convey the proper plantation idea as time passes. In words its something like small dots, or patches or even small bushes on the rocks and "corners of rocks near foreground", even I may add some hanging trees with the rocks... hope you like the idea!!! but thanks for your words. |
