#105: 38L Aquatic Garden Boraras Dream

Bhushan Dalvi Houston, United States

Comments

A pleasant sloping design that uses an interesting variety of plants. I feel the brown crypt is a little too dominating and draws attention to the very dark area on the left hand side. I would have like to have seen the Marsilea minuta that's apparently under there!

Lovely tank with a natural looking sloping design. The only "problem" area is the lower left were you can see light coming through the back through what looks to be a tangle of roots. This light really draws the eye out of the 'scpe. Either block this space with rocks or wood or an easy fix just for pictures (I suspect this is not obvious when the tank is not back-lit) would be just to put a piece of dark paper over that one section while photographing the tank.

A very satisfying balance of colors and leaf shapes.
