No. I was looking for an aquascaper buddy. But nvm lol.
Check with my buddy @Mschmidt ! That guy's an aquascaper!

Actually, to prove I'm no aquascaper here are some pics of the Aragocrete rocks I made.

That would look good! A sword or cryptocoryne would look good mid ground too.

Careful with the pearl weed it tends to grow like GSP sometimes lol. Have you thought of bucephalandra for a fore/middle ground plant?

That looks like a tank from MD fish
Yep! He is my teacher lol. That was a scape I tried to follow years ago. I can say I’ve gotten much better than when I started lol. That tank he made was for the Buenos Aires Tetra and all the Angelfish. I had a similar footprint, seiryu stone, and lots of wood so decided to recreate that one but differently. Mine like I said before ended with a big orange colored rock in the middle and less ferns.

I'll add bucephalandra godzilla to the list for midground

That would look good! A sword or cryptocoryne would look good mid ground too.
And maybe Hygrophila Corymbosa for something leafy in the midground like that

Also here is the driftwood which is now soaking! V happy with it

Those are beautiful pieces of wood! If you need some ideas on positioning I’d be happy to help!

Not sure I have. I tapered out of his channel when he moved to the office space.
They said "We paid more than that for them."
I'm sure they did. "But it's listed"

Headed here for some plants for the office tank! I'm thinking a Catherine or Velvet 3 Color Buce, Wendtii, AR Mini, and maybe a Juncus Repens.

Might grab a couple of shrimp too. He's got blue, red, CBS, yellow, orange, etc. Either that or I head to the guy downtown tomorrow afternoon for some blues or yellows for $2 instead of $3...
