Haha Moderator felix stalking me ;P
The tree under water is really creative and broaden up our perceptions by creating a land feature underwater. Perhaps can add those small clay houses & figurine normally seen in bonsai

The tree in this aquarium, does anyone know what plant is that and any diy steps out there that I can learn to do it myself?

Thank you in advance.

hello...

I posted the same photo as you did recently and I've just re-created something similar... The moss he used on the tree is actually singapore moss, though the scientific term may be erroneously used for java moss... But anyway, I am using a combination of java moss and thailand moss to tie on the driftwood... so they can grow together to create a different effect on the tree. Waiting for the moss to grow!

As for the driftwood, I spent about an hour to look for it at SeaView... I did not use 3 pieces as I believe if there is one driftwood which looks like a tree.. still usable. Also to reduce the usage of chemical products in the tank itself though claimed safe. haha...

Just my two cents worth.

Hmm...floating tree concept?

haha... there is an aquascape designed with a floating tree like structure in that tank... it looks more like a floating island though...

Wow!!!Floating island?!?! This piece of art is too profound. Don't quite understand how and why the island can and is floating.

Styrofoam or air below a man made base.
Held down by fish string, or hung down.

Thanks for sharing, bro. I am eagered to see the results of your creation.

I tried to diy with quick drying clays and it actually failed as in the clays "melted" (dissolved) in water.
You have just reminded me to resume this project of mine, which I have abandoned to focus on my newly started shrimps keeping.
