Man, this tank has come a long way and looks like a world-apart from your first few 'proposals' :p Really nice Iwagumi-esque scape man. Simple and good.

Re Scape, I think he does have 3 rocks but the left and middle rock probably look like one. The middle rock could be raised a little and positioned per the rule-of-thirds but a simple trick might just be to plant some shorter stem plants like Styrogyne Repens or Downoi etc. in between the rocks

That HC has really filled out! Great work Brendan. Btw, the orange eyed blue tigers are doing great.

Thanks for the compliments guys! and yes i have five rocks in there but the lighting for my camera does not capture the five rocks well at all. its quite better in person.

I did some rearranging so here's an updated shot of the tank

I've struggled with establishing a carpet of HC since; it lifts so easily, it's suseptible to ammonia burn with new ADA soil, that plus mold can really make it a challenge. Nice little setup you got going.

So finally got my shrimp tank looking perfect. Just going to focus on growing the moss all the way up the back.

I finally had some free time this morning and after mulling over the idea for some time now I finally added more aqua soil to the back left corner and planted some HC all the way up it. It looks pretty shabby right now of course but once the tank clears up I'll post a picture of it.

bettabreeder

new slope. Hoping it'll look stellar once the HC grows on it
