I have to give you all the credit for creating a layout that even though is good example of a nature aquarium is different than the others.
I look at the tank for a whole week before making any comment and this is my opinion.
I think that you could have used less plants and instead have more dense groups to enhance the visual effect of the waterfall the foreground is still thin but if you design it that way disregard the comment.
Congratulations and keep them coming!

You deserve the prize for sheer ingenuity! I love the nice soft look to the planting and the bold stroke of the waterfall. I just wonder how maintainable the waterfall is... It looks like a dirt magnet to me!

Well well well! This layout is interesting and obviously the creator has talent and skills! To me however the waterfall seems a bit too artificial with the "polished" stones in the middle. Why not make it a bit rougher?
