#45: 32L Aquatic Garden Tortle Hill

Benjamin Ruttenberg San Antonio, United States

Comments

This is a beautiful aquascape but the central rock is a little blocky and overpowering for the delicate planting.
— Karen Randall
The atmosphere in this scape is very compelling but the one very straight rock in the center is too centered and too dissimilar from the other rocks in the scape.
— Kris Weinhold
Pretty little tank with good usage of Rotala to create the focal point for the tank. The largest rock in the front is very angular and should be replaced to soften up the foreground. I like the use of the Crytp. spiralis as it accents the tank nicely. Good job!
