Comments

Another beautiful melding of East and West design. Nice use of rocks and color. I would like it better I think without the branch braking the water surface. I also would prefer to see fish that make a bit more of a statemet in such a lovely tank.

An amazing open aquarium! And with an appropriate name too... I'm not too sure though that the relative thin roots are adding to the positive side of this layout.

This is a good example of an American tank most of us in this country have some how the influence of both styles.
The use of the rocks and driftwood show the designers skills.
The plants are in perfect condition and the fish selection is good.
Congratulations!

Top notch planting skill and water condition. An interesting idea of the west meets east!
