computor in order to
keep track of them and found similarities developing so I thought that I would share.
NONE of these
pictures are mine...except one or two due to lack of examples by others. They are the
works that I
consider classic examples of their given catagory. Some of these pictures might be
familiar, and some
may be new, but I consider all of them to be great artists in the own rite. There are
many fine works in
my collection of pictures that I did not include because that would be too daunting a
task. I have included
a few pictures of each catagory to give examples that are representative of the
catagory. I also tried to
include aquariums that use the golden ratio and/or rule of thirds within their execution.
Each person can
make their own collection in order to choose what they want to do when the time comes
to rescape. Here
is my take on these ever expanding lists.

dalam ritus sendiri. Ada banyak bekerja dengan baik di

Saya telah menyertakan
beberapa foto dari setiap kategori jenjang untuk memberikan contoh yang mewakili
kategori. Saya juga mencoba untuk
termasuk akuarium yang menggunakan rasio emas dan / atau aturan pertiga dalam
eksekusi mereka. Setiap orang dapat
membuat koleksi mereka sendiri untuk memilih apa yang ingin mereka lakukan ketika
saatnya tiba untuk rescape. di sini
ini saya mengambil daftar ini terus berkembang.
Spoiler: Arches Kategori
Show
This is a catagory that seems classic due to the memories of all of us as
children make such things for
our fish to swim through . Here are some great examples:
Spoiler: Cave Catagory
Show
Caves were the second thing that I tried to create as a kid...never worked. It is
a difficult stlye to get right but worth the effort. The last picture is mine due to
lack of examples.
Spoiler: Concave catagory
Show
This type is almost a stock standard and is so integral to the hobby that
countless examples exist already. Here are a few classics
Spoiler: Convex catagory
Show
Convex is the opposite and is usually based on a central mound. Once again this
form is also a classic and is integral to most aquatic design layouts as a
foundation of form.
[QUOTE]
Spoiler: Classic Dutch style
Show
One of the oldest known in the hobby, it is a complicated arrangement of
different shapes, textures, hights, and colors with 'avenues' radiating from a
central view point. Some have compared it to shopping at a vegatable market
with cases of different specimens on display. There are rules to the depth of
the substrate, hieght of terraces, appropriate water chemistry, and other
considerations; even the placement of the tank in the household has a
pointspread in judging. I have yet to attempt this labor intensive style but
Plantbrain has done a magnificent job and has a thread worth seeing called
'Dutch something or other'...I think.

The world in a dewdrop is the focus of this catagory. The smaller the tank the
more amazing. The goal is to play with scale and perspective to such an extent
that the tank looks much larger then it really is. Tweezers, nimble fingers, and
patience are a must. Some micro tanks ae even too small for snails and redd
cherry shrimp to live in. The example below, made by Superwen is to be found in

arvant
the glass cup used for CO2 diffusing within the tank...about the diameter of a
1/2 $ coin.
Spoiler: Rectangular Catagory
Show
This is a catagory that practically covers the back glass wall of the tank. The
Dutch style falls into this catagory and may confront the scaper with the
difficult task of portraying depth.
Spoiler: Tree stump catagory
Show
This catagory takes the viewers perspective down to the roots of a tree in the
forest. There can be more then one but we are looking down on a mountain
path and examining where we set foot. This style can also be expressed as the
roots of a tree seeking nutrients at and below the waters edge as would be
seen at any stream or slow moving river. Fsih find places to hide and visual
exploring can be endless. Of the two perspectives- take your pick.
Spoiler: Triangle/Wedge catagory
Show
This is a classic catagory that diagonally divides the tank from one upper corner
to the opposite lower corner. If handled properly it can lead the eye of the
viewer into the depths of the tank.
Spoiler: 'V' cut catagory
Show
This is a catagory that has definite elements of the concave catagory but also
posesses a 'V' cut or line that draws the eye into the aquascape. Many
variations of this style exist. I have only include the obvious
examples.
[QUOTE]
Spoiler: Waterfall catagory
Show
This is a dramatic style that uses either sand or filter floss for its affect. Some
artists even include a hidden air hose and catch basin to create the effect of
falling water within an aquarium. It differs from the next catagory of streams in
that the angle of decent of the 'water' is steeply inclined.
Spoiler: River/stream catagory
Show
Though not as dramatic as a waterfall, the river or stream in aquascaping is a
classic that has many interpretations. It conveys a tranquil atmosphere. Two
streams are usually the maximum for this iconic design element.

Spoiler: Designer catagory
From castles with moats to frodo's house. This catagory transports us to
another world.
Show
This catagory for me is really amazing. Those who venture into this area really
work with design in an unorthodox way. They make us rethink the way a tank
can look and help us to enjoy the beauty of their unique visions
Spoiler: Avatar/Pandora Catagory
Show
This was such a popular film that it spawned its own catagory in my oppinion.
Here are a few different interpretations of it. I hope that there will be more to
come from imaginative people.
Spoiler: Wabi Kusa Catagory
Show
Dish gardens and fish have been with us forever. Some of the earliest examples
come from the art of Bonsai using 'Floating Isles' in a large shallow ceramic
platter of water. Mosses, and miniature trees hung tenaciously from the rocky
crags. Here are a few versions of these green jewels.
Spoiler: Other catagories
Show
I am sure that other catagories could be dreamt up- such as sculptural, free
form, etc. I am sure that you, gentle reader, gets the idea. These are most all
of the main catagories of aquascaping that I have noticed and catalogued.
Please share your thoughts and your own lists of your favorite tanks. Peace---R
CANOPY TREE(S) CATAGORY:
This catagory is simple and straight foreward. It approaches the perspective of
looking up at the 'leaves' of one to three trees. Its emphasis is on the branches
and spreading canopy as a focal point. When you see this creation it becomes
unmistakable as a masterful art form.
Spoiler: Seashore catagory
Show
I almost consider this a sub catagory but as I looked through my picture
collection I noticed that this form has unique characteristics. Usually, but not
always, there is a 1/3 to 2/3 ratio of sand to rock and planting. If the artist
wishes- the shoreline can drift off into the vanishing point thus enhancing the
feel of lonely, romantic, coastline.

This is a style with defined Japanese aethetics developed by ancient Zen
Buddhist artistic principles ( 7 in all), and championed by Takashi Amano. Its
stately introspective layout can be simple- but beware! Simple does not equal
easy.

Spoiler: Mountain iwagumi
Show
This is a catagory that takes the viewer on a hot air balloon ride through the
perspective of birds. It can include lakes, streams, shorelines and such. The
karsk mountains of Guilin province in China are a favorite of this type. The aerial
views and far off peaks are its halmark.
[QUOTE]
Spoiler: Forest/Woodland Catagory
Show
This catagory is not liked by some but it won the grand prize at the ADA
International Aquatic plant layout contest a year or two back so it must have
some merit. I like it and have my version in a ten gal tank. A stream or path
only adds to its charm with 'trees' acting as visual guideposts to lead the eye
into the forest.
Spoiler: Island catagory
Show
This catagory can have elements of convex or concave but gives the impression
of being surrounded by a sea of sand. It has (for me) a distinctive feel to it of
mysterious isolation. It can be a single island of have a guest/subsidiary island
in its layout. Be it the Isle of the immortals or a key somewhere in the gulf of
Mexico, the island form has a feel for the lonely, exotic, and timeless.
Spoiler: Ikebana
Spoiler: Stonehenge
Show
Based on tradtional Japanese flower arrangement, this style takes its cue from
the rules and guideline that apply to this ancient art form.
Show
This style takes its que from the neolithic stone structure found on the British
isles. Trilithons and tombulous mounds as are found at Newgrange would also
fall into this catagory.
