You have a lot of vibrant growth here but even though you started out with very heavy bold hardscape you have let your plants totally hide it! Make sure you keep a balance between your plants and hardscape.

Additional Information Fertilization: Daily dose of fertilizers, I use 2hr Aquarist APT Complete and APT Zero. I dose these two in an alternative way, 1st week is APT Complete then the following week will be dosed with APT Zero.

I also have pumice stones under the ADA Amazonia Version 2 as spacers. It is only sloped around 2-3 inches at the back.

My water change schedule is 2-3 times a week after the 2 week daily during from the start of the scape.

I feed my fishes once a day with a small amount of Hikari Micro Pellets

I used Chihiros Doctor from the start of the scape.

There was a time that I switched to a submersible pump since my Eheim 600 just to cycle another tank for a week or two.

My lighting period is 6hrs a day.

I also have a cooling fan, it's a Dymax W7 Fan.

I have a DSLR camera issue. My DSLR can't capture the true colors of my current layout. Some of the provided photos was shot by my camera phone. Only issue using my phone for final photo is that it can't capture the finer details of the layout.

Personally fascinated by the sight of unwavering unity between the water and plants. It is a compilation of large wood, river stones, with an everlasting and mystic atmosphere. One of the big inspirations are the works of Mr. Paryo Prayogi, the compactness of many variety of plants in a mystical atmosphere.
I would like to extend my deepest respect to the people who made the AGA 2023 possible. This is my 2nd entry for AGA, and I am proud to share my creation; Eternal Waters. Personally fascinated by the sight of unwavering unity between the water and plants. It is a compilation of large wood, river stones, with an everlasting and mystic atmosphere. Happy Aquascaping!
