#33: 450L Aquatic Garden Autumn Tints

Gary Wu Discovery Bay, Hong Kong

Comments

A very well presented aquascape with stunningly healthy plants and a great background to set them off. However I feel that the rolling substrate does not do anything beneficial to the composition. Also the rocks scattered in the foreground and midground seem to be added as after thoughts rather than forming a serious part of the layout.

Your tank shows a high skill level in terms of design and layout. For my tastes it is a little too heavy on red plants and in specific the R. wallichii. While this is a beautiful accent plant with this much of it i ceases to be an accent and keeps the eye from wandering over the rest of your excellent aquascape. I am being picky however. I think you have shown a high level of skill on this tank but with a little tweaking it could be even better!

The rolling substrate line works well with the layout . Unconventional yet highly effective.
