Aquascaping is hard!! Part 2

[Cearbhaill]

Ok- after a backbreaking day that included one wracked back, a blown elbow, and 20+ blows with a sledgehammer I have rescaped my tank.

It only took a million trips up and down a stepladder carrying tremendously heavy rocks. Anyone ever rig an engine lift to do this crap? Am I the only one skipping a gym day after aquascaping? Am I that big a wimp?

At any rate- please tell me it looks better?

Before-

After-

 

[mogurnda]

Yes, better. [he cringes, worrying about being slapped] Could you open up the pile on the left a little. It looks a bit dense to me.

 

[harrypotter41]

I like your rock, but yea I'd arrange some more crevices and caves on the left.

 

[Cearbhaill]

Could you open up the pile on the left a little. It looks a bit dense to me.

It does look dense.
I can't get a camera in the right angle, but there is considerable swimming space between the two bottom pieces- I can fit my hand in between with room to spare. But I'll play around with it a bit the next time I "go in" so it is visually more open.

And I can't slap you, Dave- I can barely raise my arm.

 

[mogurnda]

I can barely raise my arm

Oooh! An excelent time to pick on you, then

 

[Oakley]

I liked it the old way better ......


/me runs and hides till the coast it clear



No, im j/k, it looks great, hard work does pay off sometimes

 

[Slatts]

I like it very much and the sledgehammer had no affect on my opinion. If your happy, we're happy.

 

[DEmigh]

On the theory that late news is better than no news:

I like the new better than the old, but I'm a fan of open water between chunks'o'reef, so mine may be a prejudiced opinion.

 

[Cearbhaill]

I've rearranged it again anyway- when I've recovered use of my arm I'll take a photo

I'm about to start aquascaping in a week or two ... tell me, are all the rocks free standing, or are some leaning against the glass ?

It does look much better now though
