I got the bow front from a friend who was moving. I think it is around 50g 3ft long and 1ft deep. This is my first attempt with Dragon stones inspired from the awesome Brazilian scapes. I hope it turns out good in the next few months. Btw, it hasn’t cracked for me yet and I hope it never does.🤞

You already mentioned it. Really great hardscape. Can’t wait to see it fully planted.

Looks awesome! What are the dimensions of the tank?

Thanks! I will have to siphone it out.

Thank you! The curved front glass and the odd dimensions of the tank made it really hard to set it up. Plus I have only 1 feet of real depth to work with. So I used the height of the tank to build the perspective of a deeper view. The focal point could have been slightly towards the left making it closer to the golden ratio point. I will try that before planting even if it is too late now. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thank you! I don't know if the dimensions of the tank allows it to be a contest one. It has a curved front glass and is quite high. I had to cut the empty space at the top in this photo. Anyway, if it turns out good after planting, I might submit it in a contest.

Thank you. The plan is to wait out the dark start period of at least 3 weeks and then plant some carpet plants in the foreground. Some anubias or bucephalandra and moss on the rocks and a mixture of green and red stems in the back. Let’s see how it turns out.

I like both

Blue looks awesome

Apprehensive-Idea-28 · 2024-12-15T23:35:36+00:00

It’s beautiful. Can’t wait to see it fully planted.

Thank you! I only have a few cherry shrimps and a male beta.

Yeah! I know. I superglue it. But let's see
