Using only driftwood to create the sense of depth, and this layout is completed with very delicate skill. The water plants at the back are very well managed. It's an excellent work that can be a good example of water plant layout, especially the selection of materials.

Well-planned hardscape use. Balanced colors. The use of pinatifidia and bucephalandra was too little. It could have more density in those plants.

Magnificent example of a classic aquatic landscaping layout. The use of woods to create very harmonious lines is very interesting. as is the use of mosses and aquatic plants. Compliments.

Great selection of plants I really like the depth that has been achieved in the lines. It achieves a very natural look. the path is very well worked. I generally like all the details of this set up. it is a great job. Congratulations!

The health condition of the water plants is very well. The maintenance of the tank is also very good. I especially like the sparse water plant along the riverside. It is very natural. The curve of the river is unnatural and the space is cover by too many water plants which makes the curve not very clear.

Great layout with beautifully grown plants. very clean and well manicured. The Neocaridina shirmp were a nice touch with the red accents. Well thought out and executed layout. I would have liked to see a little more detail on the left side. The large piece of wood makes it feel a little flat and would benefit from possible more stone or textured plants. Very well executed layout!
