Landscaping with rocks in Japanese gardens
Yet another that many will find useful here. Rocks sink, easy to clean etc, so they are very useful in aquariums. regards, Tom Barr |

Wow.
I'm amazed how helpful those articles were. It's hard to explain but I understand things now that were mysterious to me before. This seems to be a case where understanding the underlying philosophy helps in implementing and appreciating the practical. Thanks a lot. |

Yes, the articles do a lot to demystify things.
But the article and link to the mag is also excellent, such very similar inspiration is perhaps directly where ADA/Amano came from, it's not that impossible to see and figure out now is it? Amano suggest this and shows such examples. The same types of layouts just done in a tank. "Nature aquarium" might not be the best descriptor, although such gardens and methods are all ultimately derived from nature, the idea and layouts are pretty well established long before "aquascaping" evolved. We have just taken that and worked it into the hobby. Now, the same can be said about Dutch scaping as well. Regards, Tom Barr |

These are fairly generalized overviews of the rock gardening and zen approaches:
Japanese Tea Garden They are not designed for the advanced purist who is already well ahead of the basics, that is not the intent. The inent is to familarize the hobbyists who is interested in the next step in design and concepts. Most folks have gotten a decent grip on growing plants, now they are faced with scaping. I think most folks see this steop and really freak out. They have no idea what to do and feel woefully "artless". But it's not that bad. A little reading and educating one's self is not going to be nearly as painful or costly as learning the science. Copying ADA tanks is one thing, but moving beyond that means you may want to consider the origins and move beyond what Amano says and try your own sense of art and aquascaping from a basic understanding. Japanese Stroll Garden Both of these links have a good back ground on some basic ideas and their history. regards, Tom Barr |
