Are they all single pieces or did you piece a few together?

You can try other angles. But out of the four, I prefer to work with the top left hand one. It has a stronger shape.

Actually only 2 peices different (Top & bottom) except different view (Single peice). SAme as I prefer the top one as it got small little caves for my fishes to hid.

Thanks for your advise

nice wood you got there, if you not planning to use oyama as background then you can do a moss wall or put some stem plants on the background.

If you like your wood so much, why not expose it as much as possible. You can make something like Iwagumi but with wood instead. You can use hairgrass on the floor, tie some moss and fern on the wood, not so much, just enough to make it look natural.

You can either use tall plant like E.vivipara, V. nana, C.helferi for background or not at all.

thanks for your advice and comments bro. Actually I wanted to keep it as simple as possible and easy to manage and I'm thinking of keeping some larger community fish.

hey bro, I think you can read my mind I like this peice so much that I wanted to expose it as much like u mention.
Iwagumi was a new term to me as i'm pretty new, but juz done a search and found that it is really nice concept and idea!

Thanks bro!
