Additional Information I am very excited to participate first time in IAPLC and i have been following IAPLC since 2016 but never got courage enough to participate. Last 2 year working from home given me a chance to spend more time with Nature Aquarium and start building it for IAPLC'22.
I always wanted to showcase the cave world in underwater and thought how it will be look like under right condition. I spent most of the time watching cave exploration documentaries in Youtube and there was a video showing unexplored caves in Cancun, Mexico. It was a perfect candidate for me to get inspiration and start building the structure to showcase something similar.
The layout is purely made from Dragon Rocks and it took me around 4 months to complete the structure. The whole process till planting and getting the right balance for fish and shrimps took around another 4 months.
I am happy and delighted with my final work and really hope this will give another perspective of caves.
