Maeda Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Nooooooo, wrong on so many levels. (Except for gross looping background noises) Actually many of Chopin's etudes are based on the golden ratio, Beethovins 5th, and most of Mozart's sonatas. It can also be seen in the work of Modrian, Durer, Da Vinci, and many of others included most/all the renaissance masters. Were they intentionally striving for a perfect golden ratio? possible, but unproven. There are however some examples of extremely successful intentional uses of the ratio by Corbusier, Gris, Dali, etc.. Lets not forget probably the most relevant name in this conversation. Amano intentionally uses the golden ratio as a tool in creating his aquascapes. Edited August 12, 2011 by Maeda Quote Link to comment
wombat Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 You should have made your point then. To each his own. All I'm saying is that since our aquascapes are the platform from which we grow and present our corals, it should not be given a "whatever" approach. I'm sure if you ask anyone on the totm list, you will find that they planned their aquascape and then made the most of it with choice and placement. We agree. Quote Link to comment
brandon429 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) My favorite aquascape technique is how many forms of life can you pack into every square inch of the reef tank, mixing of genera where it looks like an explosion of color. Disgusting amounts of color, textures, anything but open rock space in between the corals. No one ever liked this look but it was always what caught my eye. In every tank Ive kept thats the look I wanted. it would have been easy to keep a single colony of growth, or a 1:2:1 ratio etc (makes for easier tank cleaning) but in time the packed look is what evolved. any packed to the hilt tank over two years old gets my vote of nicest scape even though no one else w agree~ Edited August 13, 2011 by brandon429 Quote Link to comment
MedRed Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I actually like HD's scape. It reminds me of FW Iwagumi Quote Link to comment

Reef Casa Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 No offense, but that is downright hideous... you have 0 taste Quote Link to comment
printerdown01 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 60 gallon -so slightly outside the scope- but a great example of topsy turby rock work in a cube... There is no reason this would not work in a 30-40 gallon cube just as well. Quote Link to comment
GHill762 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 The coolest i ever saw was the one with rippled sandbed and all of the corals were on acrylic pedestals. Very unnatural but it was incredible. I'll have to see if i can dig it up... Quote Link to comment
nickkohrn Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 It has been a long time since this thread was updated. How about reviving it to add aquascapes that have been made over the most recent three years for some inspiration and admiration? Quote Link to comment

vlangel Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I agree, lets see some different scapes! Quote Link to comment
DNR88 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Lately I'm very inspired by the Penjing bonsai-style. This tank is inspired by that style (sorry about the crappy pic): 1 Quote Link to comment

Feermiz Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 This was the aquascape in my (now defunct) 26”x26”x18” squashed cube which unexpectedly eventually turned out like I was hoping it would. Getting back into the hobby after 5 years or so out of the loop. Look forward to browsing and getting some ideas from the incredible nanos on this site. 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment
