my humble 3ft tank,

[yan]

After the 2yrs not changing my setup, decide to give it a new look.
this tank was inspired by Lorba's tank.

when had i started inspiring people?

Anyway, good try with java ferns, but you seems to have used very big ones. If you can, change them to the small leaved type. The wood in the center is the same height as the 2 javas on both side, it takes away all depth that you might have there.

hehe. your tank inspire me alot. and so tempting to make one.khehe.
thats Microsorum pteropus 'Tropica', so i guess they come in broad leaf.
still need bolbitis for the bottom right. anyone has?

the broad leaf java looks nice and healthy, however, it makes your tank looks smaller. Also, the wood place smacked in the middle attracts too much attention. you may like to separate the two pieces and place them at the sides with the branches tending towards the middle. This can creat a space in the middle which will give a feel of greater depth.

other than that, the selection of plants and their conditions look fine! =)

Agree with Checkerboard.

Your backdrop is stunning. Creating some space in the centre allows the viewer to slowly feast his eyes from the front towards the backdrop.

Nice background... er.. remove the pebbles on the driftwood.. I guess it's because the driftwood not water-logged yet and they float...

Checkerboard's right,... Leaves size does affect overall effect.

Thanks checkerboard. yeah i know its smack in the middle(too much attention and still no depth in it). i want to make my tank is thick as possible thats y i choose this fern. Its java sp.Tropica, thats why its thick..khehehe

Thanks juggler will move the bogwood once its not floating..

Fei Miao is right the bogwood is not water logged yet. so hard for me to place ferns around it.. but once it is. will move both wood on each side..
