AGA 2022 Aquascaping Contest: #212

What a shame that you have SUCH a stunning land area with such gorgeous planting and have not a single plant in the water area. Did you not read the rules? The water area planting counts for a huge part of your score! You cannot win without it! This is also many too many fish for this water volume.

Your attention to detail in both your planting and hardscape is superb especially in the development your land area. You've created a feeling of endless depth with your focal point. Including areas of moss covered vegetation at and below the water line amidst your detail stones would create a more seamless experience between land and water areas. Beautiful work overall!

This display showcases well-developed planting across expansive hardscape. The variety of plants utilized gives a great sense of scale. Some mosses in the midground of the emersed region show some poor health but plants elsewhere appear otherwise.

The usage of background lighting provides visual intrigue to the space especially enhancing the submerged portion which features well-developed hardscape providing a sense of flow. It would be beneficial to see this area planted though it is also pleasantly enjoyed with hardscape alone.

Overall a well-presented paludarium.
