#451: 243L Aquatic Garden In My Backyard

This is the kind of job I like. Simple beautiful and natural. It is rare to see such a nice and well executed triangular layout.
The colors shadows and textures were very well crafted. Eleocharis's curtain in the background gave a very delicate touch a pity that did not continue until the end. In my view the broad leaves of the cryptocorynes with their strong silhouette have broken the harmony of this delicate curtain. Another point that should be appreciated in new layouts is the pruning work of mosses which have become very artificial and rounded. Although I miss stem plants in the upper portion of the layout I think the author worked very well choosing the plants! Congratulations I won my day looking at a simple unpretentious and beautiful job like this. Back to the golden era of the Nature Aquarium.
