I had to put all of the pics in seperate folders on mycomputor 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 theworks that I consider classic examples of their given catagory. Some of these pictures might befamiliar, and some may be new, but I consider all of them to be great artists in the own rite. There aremany fine works in my collection of pictures that I did not include because that would be too daunting atask. I have included a few pictures of each catagory to give examples that are representative of thecatagory. 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 comesto rescape. Here is my take on these ever expanding lists.

Spoiler: Arches Kategori Show

This is a catagory that seems classic due to the memories of all of us aschildren 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 isa difficult stlye to get right but worth the effort. The last picture is mine due tolack of examples.

Spoiler: Concave catagory Show

This type is almost a stock standard and is so integral to the hobby thatcountless 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 thisform is also a classic and is integral to most aquatic design layouts as afoundation of form.

[QUOTE]

Spoiler: Classic Dutch style Show

One of the oldest known in the hobby, it is a complicated arrangement ofdifferent shapes, textures, hights, and colors with 'avenues' radiating from acentral view point. Some have compared it to shopping at a vegatable marketwith cases of different specimens on display. There are rules to the depth ofthe substrate, hieght of terraces, appropriate water chemistry, and otherconsiderations; even the placement of the tank in the household has apointspread in judging. I have yet to attempt this labor intensive style butPlantbrain 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 themore amazing. The goal is to play with scale and perspective to such an extentthat the tank looks much larger then it really is. Tweezers, nimble fingers, andpatience are a must. Some micro tanks ae even too small for snails and reddcherry 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 a1/2 $ coin.

Spoiler: Rectangular Catagory Show

This is a catagory that practically covers the back glass wall of the tank. TheDutch style falls into this catagory and may confront the scaper with thedifficult task of portraying depth.

Spoiler: Tree stump catagory Show

This catagory takes the viewers perspective down to the roots of a tree in theforest. There can be more then one but we are looking down on a mountainpath and examining where we set foot. This style can also be expressed as theroots of a tree seeking nutrients at and below the waters edge as would beseen at any stream or slow moving river. Fsih find places to hide and visualexploring 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 cornerto the opposite lower corner. If handled properly it can lead the eye of theviewer into the depths of the tank.

Spoiler: 'V' cut catagory Show

This is a catagory that has definite elements of the concave catagory but alsoposesses a 'V' cut or line that draws the eye into the aquascape. Manyvariations 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. Someartists even include a hidden air hose and catch basin to create the effect offalling water within an aquarium. It differs from the next catagory of streams inthat 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 aclassic that has many interpretations. It conveys a tranquil atmosphere. Twostreams are usually the maximum for this iconic design element.

Spoiler: Designer catagory

From castles with moats to frodo's house. This catagory transports us toanother world.

Show

This catagory for me is really amazing. Those who venture into this area reallywork with design in an unorthodox way. They make us rethink the way a tankcan 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 examplescome from the art of Bonsai using 'Floating Isles' in a large shallow ceramicplatter of water. Mosses, and miniature trees hung tenaciously from the rockycrags. 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, freeform, etc. I am sure that you, gentle reader, gets the idea. These are most allof 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 oflooking up at the 'leaves' of one to three trees. Its emphasis is on the branchesand spreading canopy as a focal point. When you see this creation it becomesunmistakable as a masterful art form.

Spoiler: Seashore catagory Show

I almost consider this a sub catagory but as I looked through my picturecollection I noticed that this form has unique characteristics. Usually, but notalways, there is a 1/3 to 2/3 ratio of sand to rock and planting. If the artistwishes- the shoreline can drift off into the vanishing point thus enhancing thefeel of lonely, romantic, coastline.

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

Spoiler: Mountain iwagumi Show

This is a catagory that takes the viewer on a hot air balloon ride through theperspective of birds. It can include lakes, streams, shorelines and such. Thekarsk mountains of Guilin province in China are a favorite of this type. The aerialviews 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 ADAInternational Aquatic plant layout contest a year or two back so it must havesome merit. I like it and have my version in a ten gal tank. A stream or pathonly adds to its charm with 'trees' acting as visual guideposts to lead the eyeinto the forest.

Spoiler: Island catagory Show

This catagory can have elements of convex or concave but gives the impressionof being surrounded by a sea of sand. It has (for me) a distinctive feel to it ofmysterious isolation. It can be a single island of have a guest/subsidiary islandin its layout. Be it the Isle of the immortals or a key somewhere in the gulf ofMexico, 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 fromthe rules and guideline that apply to this ancient art form.

Show

This style takes its que from the neolithic stone structure found on the Britishisles. Trilithons and tombulous mounds as are found at Newgrange would also

fall into this catagory.
