Hardscape reviews
Just finished the hardscape for my very first aquascape aquarium and I’d love some honest feedback before I start planting.
Tank dimensions:
150 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm (~100 gal before substrate/hardscape displacement)
Concept:
I’m aiming for a nature-style / jungle-inspired aquascape with a strong triangular composition flowing from left to right. The goal is to create something dramatic but still natural and mature-looking over time.
What I’m unsure about:
- Does the composition feel balanced?
- Are the proportions between stone/wood/sand working?
- Is the negative space on the right too empty or just enough?
- Do the stones look natural in placement and scale?
- Any recommendations before I glue/finalize everything?
This is my first aquarium ever, so I’m trying to learn as much as possible and avoid mistakes before planting.
Be brutally honest — I’d rather fix mistakes now before planting begins.
