#125: 300L Aquatic Garden The Mysterious Island

Really eye-catching tank. Good use of color and some nice diagonal lines. I like the slightly "mysterious" look of the light falling off toward the outside edges.

The island is present but the mystery is missing... However I like the use of Pogostemon for this purpose. Normally you would see Hemianthus or Glossostigma but Pogostemon works fine in this case.

Nice plant selection! The design is good I will advise you to work more on your trimming I am sure the tank can improve by just making a few modification. The C crispulata var. balansae shadows your Cypherus hleferii on the fornt picture.
