#49: 200L Aquatic Garden Rock Garden

Edoardo Rocchi Nemi, Italy

Comments

The choice of plants is great. The plant placement works. Unfortunately the Rotala rotundifolia is too similar from side to side in height and amount. The rocks don't offer a cohesive affect. It suggests ruins of perhaps two different structures so that the hardscape doesn't tie the two sides of the tank together. Apart from those factors the tank has a real appeal. If the left side had been shorter and the rocks more similar to the rocks on the right the tank would have been more unified. It almost looks like two tanks both of which are interesting. The riccia fluitans does not have a good long term viability.
