Comments

This is a very attractive tank though I have stated a number of times that I do not agree with the use of multiple species of moss in the same tank. While your mosses look very healty the Hygrophila looks a little nutrient deprived.
— Karen Randall
At first glance this looks like an exercise in growing a huge quantity of moss! But after further analysis the composition is very good with the covered wood and intermittant hints of Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides to break up the monotony. The large 'tree trunk' leading down to the lower wood pieces completes the 'Foundation' concept as per your title. Excellent!

An invitation to fall face first into the grass on a cool summer's eve.
This aquascape is best viewed up close to see the lush textures in detail.
