Looks nice, very unique scape and design. It'll look good once it all fills in. Really like your scapes, keep them going bud!

olha olha quem é ele! =D
ja ponderaste a hipotese de trocares o musgo de java por musgo Christmas?crescia mais prós lados e dava mais volume à arvore.
(sorry... just a bit of a portuguese chat)

Hi,

It passed some time without updating this topic, so here it is...

Evolution 04.08.2006


Update 27.08.2006


About the moss, I'm using Singapore Moss (Vesicularia dubyana) and it's giving body to the wood (Tree).

Regards and thanks for the comments

I like it. This is a very unique scape. I love the idea of a tree in a grassy field all under water. The grass and tree need to grow in but it all looks so nice and heathy. The two slopes with the rock hiding where it leads really helps add depth to such a simple tank.
