I like the look and it's very different from your normal aquascape. You should dubb the the tank as a "Lord of the Rings" because that tree looks its from the Shire

I'm not sure what plant is sitting in the middle forefront of the tank, but it doesn't fit with the moss and I find my eyes attracted to it no matter where I look.

p.s. How did you attach the moss to the gravel?

It looks more like a picture than a tank. The tree moss is very en vogue at the moment. See Gdominiies tank on plantedtank.

Very pretty! Elegant. I probably would get rid of the crypts, though.....it looks a bit out of place. Maybe add more of the hairgrass instead?

Maybe the crypts will look better after they fill in a bit.......so nevermind me!
