What do you guys think

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It reminds me of a 8ft tank i saw that was more of a dirt and sand bottom bu they made a steep hill on one side and actually came out of the water for a fe inches. They were housing crabs and fish together and it was for the crabs to crawl around out of the water a bit. I think I've seen similar turtle tanks, but not usually with fish or they'd be eaten. I always thought that was a really cool cross section but never had a tank long enough to sacrifice the water volume to try it myself.
 
I like it, and especially think that the big rock at the left end and the couple of smaller ones in the middle do a nice job of balancing out the overall look. Good job!

There are two long, flat rocks...one in the middle, and one at the far right...that just don't sit right. Rocks usually look most natural when laying on their largest sides, the way they usually wind up in nature. A skinny flat rock sticking up at an angle like those do just seems artificial.

Scapes like this usually require days or weeks of tweaking and minor changes before they settle down into a nice balanced natural look.

Maybe that’s what’s throwing me, I’ll try a little tweaking

This tank isn’t really long enough either, that’s why I made it as steep as I did
 
Well this turned out to be a bust, the johnstoni wedged himself in pile and couldn’t get out and it looks like the YL that made that area home beat the hell out of him, either that or it tore itself up trying to get out
