Awards and Comments

Honorable Mention
Creator was completed this typical layout with the very good quality in any details.
— Long Tran Hoang
One of the nicest underwater scenes that I have seen this year. Not a new style but perfectly recreated. I love how the structure becomes smaller as it finishes at the rear glass. Maybe the final branches could be a bit bigger (too tiny). This is one of the more detailed tanks I have ever seen.
— Juan Puchades Rufino
Excellent use of hardscape material and use of different sized wood to build depth. The use of lower maintenance plants enables this layout to be an excellent long term aquascape. Very well done!
— Bailin Shaw
Beautiful layout full of interesting details.
Excelent plant variety. In my opinion the Microsorum in the back center could be replaced by a more delicate plant to achieve a perfect perspective.
Congratulations in my TOP10!
