    Default Aquascape Twin island

    Aquascape "Twin island" is the 3rd layout in the big 7 footer at home. A classical strain of discus blue turquoise along with rummy nose ramarezi corydorus and ottos make up the fish list. Java ferns annubias coffefolia and cryptocryne wenditti are the plants used. Was totally inspired by Jeffrey Senske 's tank with blue diamond discus he had setup a while back. My first attempt was terrible so went in other directions for a couple of years with this tank and reattempted this scape after a little more experience
    Would love to know what you all think!

    Great looking and simplistic set up OP.
    Not quite like the famous Senske's BD tank except for its concave set up but still a neat looking scape .
    One thing that might be considered as a flaw by professional scapers IMO would be the perfect symmetry of the layout .

    Great tanks OP . Just keep them posting .
