the wood seems to have blended well into the scape. i would prefer some plants in front of the rocks(centre), making it more natural.

not bad, perhaps some minor trimming!

The stemmed plants need to be more trimmed and bushy

**kemp** · 8th Jul 2006, 20:33

agree too. some trimming need to be done. else otherwise, it's looking good

Well I just trimmed!

Looks like its not enough then... shall trim them more.

Decided to do a major rescape of the 1.5 feet. Here's how it looks like now. Waiting for the Utricularia graminifolia to grow.

Great depth!

The big rock is too dominating though, isn't it?

need somehow to soften that big rock.. either other rocks..or some plants covering it.. it is too attention grabbing..

Also the plant on the right with the large leaves?? too large for a tank this size.

But other than that... i like the general shape you've done with this..and hte white sand foregorund is a nice touch..good work..

Agreed, I would like to see the rocks about same size and height. The white sands a pleasing sight.

Thanks for the advice.

Perhaps will try to find some kind of moss or use more of the windelov to cover part of the rock.

The plants on the right , java fern and bolbitis, perhaps will keep the bolbitis and change the java to narrow ones.

Will update again after the changes.
