    Here are some pictures of the hard scape of my new project. It is an all stone or iwagumi style hard scape. The pictures when dry were taken after setting it up. After adding water things shifted a bit. I need to move some of the sand around but for the most part I like where things are.

    It will be either planted with HC exclusively or with HC and Blyxa.

    Hope you like it...

    Good news bad news. I got rid of most of the algae, but most of the HC melted away as well. I hope it comes back or I'll have to replant it.

    That is a very awesome plant, I would love to have some, in the future. Reminds me of a feild of four leaf clovers. MOD_Dawn you are right a colony of shrimp would look AWESOME in there and def love it. Red cherries, would rock in there.

    I replanted the HC and I am waiting for it to fill out. I really want to start a colony of yellow shrimp. I think it will give the illusion of dandelions in a grassy field.

    That's very cool! Never seen anything like this before! :D
    Reminds me of some mountains or cliffs!
    I was going to decorate my tank with mainly rocks and plants too, but a bit less of the rocks ;)
