Additional Information I used Nature Base Igapo and ran the lights 12 hours a day. The inspiration was seeing how cypress knees stretched up toward the sunlight under the clear blue waters of Morrison Springs.
Special thanks to my friends and TAC for the inspiration and guidance.
A small light aquarium with a simple composition and a good perspective.
I always appreciate new tricks in aquarium design and I love these vertical Cypress knees. It's hard for me to judge how typical Cypress knee is for this body of water. But I fully assume that this is exactly what it looks like.
The disadvantage of many biotope aquariums especially small ones is that the composition is often taken out of the context of the reservoir. In a fairly small volume the author was well able to convey the atmosphere of a small transparent lake.
