#156: 174L Aquatic Garden A Little Jungle

Adam Hefel Derby, United States

Comments

This aquascape looks a great deal like a wetland I visited recently. The lacy texture of the hairgrass contrasts well with the Echinodorus and driftwood. It could use some more time to fill in and a little trimming to get rid of the untamed look. Twenty inches often seems like a good height for an aquarium but those swords are going to outgrow it in short order. Also please remove any equipment and try to get the haze out of the water prior to photographing.

You get a pat on the back for entering and you have some fish that people would kill for. But you need to do a little rearranging. At this point you have a fish tank with plant. You need to have a clear design focus hide all that equipment and get the haze out of the water before taking pictures.

Foreground does not look good. Plant condition does not look nice.
