comment / perception wanted

[Phyroath]

Hi all,

I have changed my layout again - added more plants and driftwood unfortunately I have single tank syndrome - prune / cut and replant. Just want comments / opinions from all of you how I am going.

As I read some analysis of the art of aquascaping - it seems that my tank does not fit into any, plants just scatter everywhere. When people talk of a focal point, I myself can not identify where the focal point I have created in the tank.

Please help me out!

PS: Did add 2 rhizomes of Anubias - not sure what specie (they are big) while the one I have on the right remains small.

Looks great. Your focal point is the driftwood because it stands out from the green.

very nice job on the tank. Forget about making sure the tank fits into a particular "style" of aquascaping. If it works for you and you are pleased with your work then thats all that matters.

I like it. You have levels of planting for depth, a nice amount of driftwood for your hardscape and a nice mixture of leaf types for texture. Very well done.

I love it like it is!

I like it as well. The plants are healthy, you can clearly see that. I also agree with Bk828.... The important thing is do you like it? Are your plants and fish healthy? If you know the answers to those questions, then ......

Thanks everyone for your opinions. I do feel better this time than the last one I made in another thread (people recommended me to add more driftwood and make them standout). Lol! I spent one day visiting my national park just to collect driftwood.

The tank is full with plants now. I have already ordered mosses (java and weeping moss. I am not sure if I can add mosses somewhere in the tank. Should I attached mosses to those driftwood I have in the tank or to get additional pieces? I am thinking of adding mosses on the left and the right sides where you can see some spaces.

I still want some red plants but I have no success in keeping them though my light is over 3wpg.

Personally, I like that wood without moss... very nice job

it looks beautiful. I would personally add something towards the front to give more depth and height in that region. even a little piece of driftwood in the fore ground will make it more three dimensional. looks really good and healthy already though!

Yeah, +1 for red, or something else other than Green. While its nice, it's just way too much green for my tastes.

For medium light red plants, Red Tiger Lotus and E. Barthii (sploke is selling some as Ruben) work well.

P.S. Nice Anubias btw, I'd like but I don't have room, lol.
