Found this online a while back but couldn't find it again until recently, really like this, boring to some I guess but I quite like it.

 

Any members here have anything similar?

I can't help stuffing my tanks with different plants.... But I really like the zen of this tank.

Looks wicked on the sand to. I'd even ditch the floating plants.

Love it too.

The floating plants are probably there to control nutrient build up and help reduce nitrates.

With so little plants to achieve the minimal look, those floating plants are really needed.

[GotCrabs]

I actually agree about ditching them as well, very peaceful looking tank.

yeah the floaters kill it for me. but tother then that it looks amazing!

 

 

I really like the minimalistic approach. Its defs up there in my top 5 favourite scape styles atm

You'd be right about the floating plants, frog bit is it?

The colour sand is a nice touch, instead of a dark substrate.

yeah it really gives  that island feel, thats one of the other styles i really like atm island style scapes

I did it a few months ago. It was very nice, but also kinda boring.

 

 

So now I started over with rocks and plants. This was just the beginning phase. At this moment I have a lot more plants already.

I don't see anything wrong with the first pic, would have looked alright once grown.

[Shrimpmaster]

It was nice and needed to grow indeed, but just Wood and Fissidens Fox was to simple for me. I only have one aquascape tank and just starting, so this was the first test. Now I want to learn more about growing a green carpet and all kind of plants that should fit in a nano. But when I would have more tanks in a row, one like this would be cool too.

 

Urbanaquaria has some very nice clean aquascapes. I also was inspired by this one:

 

 

This is also a nice clean example form someone else:

I think they're both beautiful! But I totally get what you mean if i only had one tank to scape id want something a bit more adventurous!

[Squiggle]

Wow, they all look fantastic!

Nice tanks Shrimpmaster.

I'm interested in seeing the back of those tanks, where have you run your filter intake and outflow tubes?

Ugly tubing ruins a clean scape, but yours seem to be invisible.
