Information

"Wow! The fantastic orange and reddish hues on the top level of the aquascape certainly make the impression that the sun is setting over the green midground against a deep blue sky. This is an excellently crafted aquascape which would be perfect if not for the fact that the green plants are starting to overwhelm the driftwood arrangement." ---Carlos Sanchez

"Very soft, pretty aquacape. Well done!" ---Karen Randall

"a perfect title for this aquascape" ---Mike Senske
