#52: 70L Paludarium JAVA JUNGLE

Hakan Karatas Istambul, Turkey

Comments

Definately a healthy jungle but I think a jungle to a fault. I very much would have like to see more order here. For example the Java moss foreground could use thinning or trimming so it doesn't look like a mound of moss tossed in a tank. I see some hard scape wanting to be seen but only able to barely poke it's head out.

Your plants look nice and healthy but the emerse growing plants really overwhelm the top of the display making it look unbalanced.
