"This aquascape should be in the leading group of this contest. Very wide varation of plant arrangements. But the right part of this scape is not a consequent continuation of the very good formation and work from the left side. " ---Kaspar Horst
"I really, really like this tank. The flow of the layout is lovely, and the use of color is beautiful! If I were going to find fault, it is that the foreground planting is not quite as strong as the rest of the layout, but this is being really picky!" ---Karen Randall
"Good initiative - nice to look at!" ---Claus Christensen
