The hardscape is strong here but the planting dulled much of its effectiveness once the plants had grown in.

Additional Information Greetings! I am proud to join this contest as one of the aquascapers in Philippines. This layout was made after my IAPLC 2022 entry. I wanted to scape an impactful layout using big driftwood. I really like to look at a wood covered with moss and ferns in nature so I copied it and put it in my aquascape piece. These wood weighs around 50kgs more or less together. My issue in this piece is my exposure during my photography. I didn't match the right colors and the exposure together so I had to edit it properly prior to contest rules and regulations.

Fertilization is 2hr Aquarist APT Complete

Substrate Fertilization is a Dr. Tank Substrate Fertilizer

I used a Dymax Windy W-4 Cooling Fan

My water change routine is every 30-50% every 3 days
Greetings! I am proud to join this contest as one of the aquascapers in Philippines. After I made my IAPLC 2022 entry, I wanted to scape a more impactful layout using big driftwood. I really like to look at tree trunks and roots covered with moss and ferns in nature so I copied it and put it in my aquascape piece. I wanted the ambience to be more heavy yet balanced with a mysterious feel.
