#127: 510L Aquatic Garden Riverfeel 1

Comments

This is a good example of a long term planted aquarium where the plants species where carefuly choosen. The tank creates a relaxing yet elegant atmosphere around it.
The only negative comment is the 4 groups of Cypherus helferii I wish there was 3 perhaps one much more dense than the other 2.

A very symmetric layout indeed; in fact I find it a bit too symmetrical. The problem is really that when it is so close to "perfect" you start looking for mistakes and this distracts the observer of this otherwise wonderful tank.
— Ole Pedersen
Very nice use of materials in the fore and mid ground. A little less regular placement of the Cyperus might make the design flow a bit more.
