The stuffs inside the tank is to aid people to setup nice aquascape.
End product of the scape is more important .

Rich is very subjective. Need to save and work out the budget.

The tentative layout of the driftwoods.

I like the look of the current hardscape, but the middle looks a little bare of wood compared to the sides.

[EvolutionZ]

current hard scape looks promising!

I rearranged the middle driftwood. Trying to use Golden Ratio to scape this tank. The hardscape layout seems to spilt in the middle.

A friend and I was sitting at the coffeeshop the other day talking about planted tank. We needed someone to lift the Singapore planted scene. I think Chee Yong is going to give the community a little "omph" for now. Look forward to seeing CY's tank after what Jervis did to AQ previously..

Btw, I am floored
