That sounds good Daniel. I saw some good river stones at Alamo Stone the last time I was there.

Probably going with the red theme because of my gravel.

Need to go look for some mexican river rock.

Kind of thinking about a mountain range type layout.

[FrontosaurusRex]

Anything with good textures. The rest is up to you and what you like. I'm thinking grey, black or red rocks for my tank....

I like both scapes.

I've yet to scape my 125. Will probably do it after the holidays.

Still need to decide on rock type.

suggestions will be appreciated.

heres a video of the tank before I changed the scape. Sorry for the bad quality, it was taken with an old camera.

The iwagumi style is as much about the placement of the rocks as is the space of each rock compared to one another.

Just get really really (and I mean REALLY) dunk and start scaping. I fine it works well.

I got some rocks in mind that I wanna buy. I need to save up some dough and get em. I also wanna get much bigger rocks. Like I said, I was just playing with what I already had but I promise I'm gonna achieve iwagumi real soon....

[myjohnson]

I like it, looks clean.

I kind of like the old look better.

If you want iwagumi style you gots to use the pimp rocks.

[FrontosaurusRex]

alright. I got a wild hair up my arse the other night and decided to change up the scape. I've been studying and researching Iwagumi styles for a month now and I'm trying real hard to achieve this. The scape that I came up with is not exactly Iwagumi but I've got some plans in the near future and I should be able to pull this off soon. Anyway, this is the new scape with an Iwagumi INSPIRED feel. Its minimal and clean and thats what I love about it. Any suggestions or tips???

I shot a video last night but I'm having hell getting it loaded. Thanks Ron for the comment. That means lot coming from another Frontosa guy.

Man the black on them is super dark. Like!

[FrontosaurusRex]

Some new pics without the flash. I was getting some flack from another website saying that I wasnt representing the Mikula's true color since I used a flash on the previous pictures. So here they are.....UNDOCTORED!!

[FrontosaurusRex]

I'll get some shots of them. I also have some syn cats in there.
