    so since im moving end of march i decided to play around with some scapes, planning on how to make it the best it can be with my available hardscape. also have an algae invasion on my HC!When i moved to pta and im settled i would actually get some spiderwood with thinner branches and saw them off the base and use them. the smaller branches will create the illusion that the tank is bigger?

    Like the scape. :five: Take out the piece of wood crossing over that rock left front. Think showing the rock will look great.

    I like it. Is there space behind the rock, between the upwards V branches, to put the piece you removed back in? So a lower V facing upwards or downwards.
