lgamboa Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Just posting pictures of my tanks.Just wondering if there are others who are interested in Nature Aquarium in Edmonton. These were my tanks from 2006 until 2011. The dryscape is the design for my upcoming Iwagumi Tank.

Sprucegruve Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 this is really nice aquascaping. i always end up cramping my tanks full of too much wood and live plants.and it looks too busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgamboa Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thanks. What type of plants do you have and how big is your tank? One thing that I noticed is to follow the Golden Rule or Rule of thirds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykit Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Nice looking tanks. What is the rule of thirds you refer to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprucegruve Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 umm i have 20 tanks ranging from 10-150 gallons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Nice looking tanks. What is the rule of thirds you refer to? I believe it was Ammano who came up with a "perfect layout ratio". He roughly suggests that you should have 1/3 of your tank full and 2/3 open space OR 1/3 open sPace and 2/3 full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason is right that Amano came up with a "perfect layout ratio" in the aquarium. They said ancient Greeks or Romans used this rule also in their art. Most digital cameras now have that feature to reflect the grid that form this rule of thirds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceturf Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Ahh why are the photo's soo small. I can't see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgamboa Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Ahh why are the photo's soo small. I can't see anything. I had to compress my pictures as the site does not allow me to post bigger ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 For bigger pics try uploading them to a site like Photobucket. If you upload them straight off your computer you are limited in the size of the files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgamboa Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Thanks, Here's my first attempt to use photobucket. As per earlier pics, here is my current Iwagumi project and inspiration for it. Landscape picture was taken at Medicine Lake, Jasper, Alberta. Stay tuned. http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN4005.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN3999.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN3996.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN3995.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN4626.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN4633.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN4635.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN4636.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN4640.jpg http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g342/LG_Aquadesign/DSCN4646.jpg Edited November 12, 2011 by lgamboa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayba Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Very nice tanks. Where do u get your rimless tanks from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgamboa Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Jayba, It's made by Hagen. (All-Glass Euro Waterhome). You can buy it at PJ or Petcetera. The price is pretty good if you buy the tank only but they have been low in supply lately. For my next tank, Im planning to buy ADA or just have one made similar as the seams on the ADA tanks are superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
