Awards and Comments

First Place
This is an obviously well kept and attractively arranged aquarium. I personally do not care for colored gravel and think the arrangement would look better with a nice dark but naturally colored gravel. I like the use of the "pebble path" but the arrangement could be improved buy using the same type of rocks rather than several different kinds. It's nice to see the nice crystal clear water in this entry!

This aquarium convinced me by clever selection of
materials (red lava black Gravel petriefied wood
and yellow pebble) in association with red and green
plants. But there are non submersed plants used
also; these plants make the water bad in short time.
(Loss of scores).
