#610: 160L Paludarium Kotak Ijo

Arlan Patra Palembang, Indonesia

Comments

Bold hardscape design. Try varying the height of where the branches end I think it will make a greater impact.

I love this!!! I am guessing that you either live in a very humid climate or you keep this covered in some way to have such fantastic moss growth in a non-enclosed paludarium. The growth and attention to detail in the land section is really excellent. It looks like a little slice of the forest. The repeating placement of your wood is lovely though I do not love the central top Bromeliad. It draws the eye right out the top of your scape! The water area is not as well developed unfortunately which is always a hard balance. the uneven substrate line with various colored layers is distracting to the eye as well. You might want to re-think that a bit in the future. I also would not have chosen a man-made fish like Platies is such a natural-looking forest type scape.

The hardscape is well balanced above but I'd move the highest 'Bromeliad' down a bit.
