Default update of humble rockscape

Really liked the idea of a rockscape tank.....it gives a tranquil & peaceful feel.... So i embarked on a rockscape theme tank last yr.....experimented with java moss and some rocks.


outcome as below. messy without a main focal.......heehee..... i admit rocks are much more diff than dw....



then the java got infested with bba. i rebooted the tank and decided to try other moss which i got from a fellow forummer.



outcome as below. this time round, i'm more satisfied.





comments are welcomed. cheers~~~~

I think the setup would have looked great if the rocks were much taller. Somehow the image is a little too short. But the concept is good though. Also, java moss will look very messy in time.

agree the effect would hv been better if the rocks were slightly taller.....somehow they always look very big in the lfs when back home, they look tiny again. haiz.....
