nano aquascape

[chelseagrin]

i have a couple nanos, and the rock scapes i have are just plain and boring. i really like the look of the minimalist aquascaping but i have no idea where to start. and they arent very big so there arent many options. does anyone have pics of their nano scapes so i can get ideas? thanks

What size nano? I can post many of mine tonight. I had too much rock at first some may say still do but I thinned it out allot and really like it so far.

i have a 5 gallon and a 3 gallon nano.

I guess I'm not minimalist, but I like my rockwork. It tends to feature rocks stacked so that you get a lot of open areas between and inside the rock ("daylight spaces").

I also bought a tall (5g) rather than a long, so mine looks good with rock jutting upwards into spaces.
Usually "minimalist" would just be a few rocks in a large tank. For a nano, that would probably just mean one or two fist sized rocks on the bottom in a zen-garden like configuration.

You may just have to play with it to get it to look how you want.

thats the best i got, the pic was taken right after i re did the tank. the new frags i got are not in yet and my kenya tree has since been moved to the front of the tank.

I like it. Did you glue the rocks together or are they just balancing?

 

[chelseagrin]

i drilled them then glued pegs into the holes.
