#103: 216L Aquatic Garden Impression - orange touch

Sorin Tuta Bucharest, Romania

Comments

I like the basic layout of this tank and you have created a pleasing little path to draw the eye in. However the red plant on the left (I think it's the R. macrandra though I can't tell for sure from the photo) looks to be struggling in this position. And the tiny spot of bright red (though I suspect this has been voer-saturated a bit) is jarring to the eye. The Cabomba Furcata is robust and healthy but needs a little more shape.

Good composition and I like the tiny dash of red with the Rotala macrandra on the left. I feel the red Cambomba is not really dense enough to provide the balance with the fullness of the planting in remainder of the layout.
