    Fabulous! Did this tank make it in time for ADA contest? Should be scoring marks! Very original and unique layout.

    By the way, can to share the parameter of the setup?

    This is turning into one good looking tank, gives me a sence of tranquility, as in zenscape's tag I am always interested to see scapes that will evolve and develop.

    The white part of the rock that is on the extreme right looks like the side profile of some guy... i thought it looked like one of those "heads" you see on easter island.

    The heads on Easter island. Theres my inspiration for a scape! Thanks lol

    I must say i like how you've left that channel of sand in the middle inbetween the large formations of rock and plants. What plant have you used to cover the rocks. It looks like a species of Hemianthus? I don't know... very nice though indeed!

    Amazing scape!

    in my own opinion, the livestock kinda took something away from the whole scape, making it less majestic

    on another note, what is the plant that's used extensively? HC?

    Really, really impressive. Makes me want to start a new tank soon! Agreed with some of the guys above regarding the faunas. But nonetheless, great job!

    I think you have a good eye hebi. I have already considered replacing the fish with something smaller, maybe some ember tetra?

    Yes its HC! the subatrate was piled high up and the rocks set into into it.

    Thanks to every one else that left comments.. It seems that quite a few people feel the fish are too big ... Does anyone have any suggestions?

    As for potential ADA winner? Well (LOL) I like this scape alot too and am quite proud of it but im not sure its of that sort of standard. Very kinds words, thankyou

    Cardinal Tetras are always a winner - very pretty, like birds.

    How long has this tank been running for? I'm interested to see how long it took for you to get it to this stage from day 1 of planting.

    Any chance of an update ukplanter. I'd be interested to see a little over a weeks growth if possible?
