Information

"This tank looks like an aquatic model railroad diorama. The sense of grand scale about this aquascape is very neat. I like the rolling hill effect of the substrate sloping into a rock-stream valley. Unfortunately the design isn't very flexible. As one gets closer in view the small bunches start looking like small bunches of plants rather than a copse of trees or a hedgerow. This is one aquascape best viewed from distance only. " ---Phil Edwards

"The spreading of the substrate should be straight. It seems the layout has not completed yet. Background should be filled with more stemmed plants." ---Takashi Amano

"I like the peaceful, rolling feel to this tank. However, it looks to recently set up or re-done. The stem plants just have not had time to fill in. Also, the growth tips on some of the stem plants are getting smaller, usually a sign that the tank is not getting enough food." ---Karen Randall
