#106: 400L Aquatic Garden discus garden

Leonidas Maragkakis Chania, Greece

Comments

On this layout I would like to make one remark only eventhough the tank is narrow it seems to be much deeper and yet the plants are so close to each other that it looks rather busy.
I like this composition and wonder how much will it change if more dense groups of selected plants where there instead of small groups of many plants.
The tank is clean and the fish seem to be happy as well good job!

Nicely designed tank. Unfortunately sticking a couple of small short bunches of R. macrandra for the sake of adding color doesn't work well. And it doesn't do justice to the rest of the layout. Have confidence in your good design sense and don't try to over do it.

There is a great feeling of depth achieved with this particular layout. I am impressed that the plants are doing that well with the provided light.
