Description
This layout was inspired by an ADA aquascape. Horn wood rests on a carefully stacked wall of dragon stone in a concave position. Plants like anubias and bucephalandra are wedged between crevices in the rocks, and the background is planted with stem plants and cyperus helferi. After many trims, the stems will become a colorful bush.

09/26/2018 08:42:05 PMNice to see the full resolution picture of your hardscape. It was always hard to see where and how the horn wood was placed. You've really created a nice scale with your 90p.

09/26/2018 11:09:21 PMThank you, means a lot. The wood pieces have shifted a bit after taking them out to tie moss and bumping them during maintenance. But yeah, I’m really happy with the hardscape. I haven’t spent this much time creating a hardscape layout with any of my past scapes; I’m glad I took my time with this one.
