#57: 90L Aquatic Garden Magic Moss

Hakan Karataş Istanbul, Turkey

Comments

I'm sure this is a fun tank to look at in person... there is a lot going on. But for a aquascaping contest there is a bit TOO much going on. Try developing more cohesive groups of plants and use less species in such a small tank. I know that these moss balls have become very popular in some areas but I don't think they are easy to use effectively in an aquascape.

Top marks for creativity with the hanging moss balls! I'm not sure if they add much to the layout but they certainly catch the eye! Well done.

Suspended moss balls-a refreshing stretch of the imagination.
But in order for this escape from the "Nature Aquarium" to be taken seriously there is work to be done on improving your plantsmanship.
The plants seem healthy but good trimming technique and the "rules" for good design still apply.
