http://www.thegreenmachineonline.com/blog/arizona-aquascape-journal-james-findley/ This is a quick 360° walk around shot of the hardscape- planting will commence in 3 weeks. This is James Findley's latest aquascape which he has entitled 'Arizona'. We are publishing this to show the completed hardscape at the end of the day of aquascaping which was broadcast live on 26th July 2013 from The Green Machine in Wrexham, UK. In approximately 3 weeks time James will be planting the aquarium. This day will be broadcast live on the day and a video will later be published showing the entire process right through to grown in aquascape. We will advertise this prior to the day on our website and social networks. http://www.thegreenmachineonline.com/blog/arizona-aquascape-journal-james-findley/

Stunning

The black sand will spread throughout the tank...

It hasn't :)

Another work of art by Mr. Findley, and the Green Machine crew. I can't wait to see the finished product of that hard work and patience.

Love the desert scape. I live in Utah the state known for red rock and a dryer state than Arizona. I should collect some red sand and red rocks and make a desert scape! Downoi kinda looks like a round cactus. I could use Riccia for sagebrush! And I can use native plants!!

Why are you waiting to plant it? You usually plant as you fill it up with water...

When comes the planting Sorry for bad english im German

CheeseBon - 11 years ago

Can't wait to see it decked out with plants. I'd love to see some small Lilly pads or something floating connecting the ground with the tops

Their tanks are so awesome, they pearl even without plants inside them.

I usually love his scapes but I'm not fond of this one. It's too balanced. I think it might look better if the tank was split more.

Got to see it one more time. BTW, Thank you Mr. Findley.

Plumeria07650 - 11 years ago

I like some of the stones, not all of them. Less is more in this case.

Prince Kehy - 11 years ago

My thoughts exactly

TheBigCheese - 11 years ago

Looks way too symmetrical... no sense of the golden ratio. (2 small, 1 large, 1 small, 1 large, 2 small). You need to think rule of thirds and non symmetry when designing a nature layout.

I wish more aquarium people did nice scapes, I feel like its generally only the planted tank people who do it meaningfully. Like, without plants, this almost looks like it could be an african cichlid setup.

a few rocks away from being stonehenge

darryl sedgwick - 11 years ago

Hscience...I think its because TGM uses ADA aquasoil as substrate and in the first few weeks it leaches off large amounts of amonia (but longterm it has better fertillisers etc in the aquasoil). I think the other aquascapes might be dirted tanks or other substrates.

Thumbs up from me. Love the intro too.

jeremiemcd - 11 years ago

Looks great, ifeel the single tall standing stone is almost to powerful of a eye catcher, it will be interesting to see how he blends it all together with the plants so it flows, just my opinion, beautiful scape :) good shots of the tank:)

Another masterpiece in the making. Cannot wait to see the finished product.

Great scape! Love the large rocks, the shadow casting makes them look like they have faces like the sculptures on Easter Island. Very nice!

jordan romero - 11 years ago

sick! I have a bunch of petrified wood in my yard and a few in my tank . i hope this can give me some ideas.

HialeahScience - 11 years ago

Question: Why does this one have to wait three weeks before the planting? Where as other aquascapes get planted right away during the build. This is beautiful I can't wait to see the natural order of flow take over!
