Awards and Comments

First Place
Needs maturity let's see this again next year.
— Jeff Kropp
An nice composition the impression is very natural.
— Wim van Drongelen
This is a strikingly beautiful tank. If I had a complaint it would be that the plant growth below the water level does not quite match the lush growth above. Still although sparse the plants appear healthy. I love the mist effect!
— Karen Randall
Black painted background will reflect somewhat. Abrubt vertical lines at side walls distort total impression.
Bromelia leave hanging in the water will decay
— Pim Wilhelm
