Well, I am technically updating to my old tank which has a little bit too much design changes. And well here's a final blow at it.

Rescaped it just now and the mosses and plants underwent A major trimming..

I like it.

What's the 'spiky' plant in the foreground?

Looking good. I like how you've used the rock on the right, it's a nice contrast with the plants. What type of moss is that?

This is the plant. Oh by the way What will you guys think if i added some taiwan moss a lil here and there. I got a comment from a friend that it looks nice and clean.. BUT (ouch) It looks like a part of the forest being tarred off into a road lol. He suggested to add some taiwan boss at the border line as the moss will eventually 'creep' out into the white parts

Suggestions?

Thanks again!

Hmm the moss used as foreground is - Taiwan Moss
The large amount of moss used as mid. in front of the right rock - Flame Moss

Comments are always welcomed to improve myself.. Wont be modifying the scape until sometimes gives a painful criticism lol.

Hey guys.. time for update!

I just did a maintenance and well.. i accidentally dug out my flame bush.. and now there lies an empty 'valley' in the middle.. Just wondering. should i patch it up with stemmies? or plant it with lawn plants.. or plainly leave it as it is.

Comment away!

p.S. sorry for the awful pic. taken with cell.

Personally, I'd "patch it". I thought the composition was better when it was filled in.

Really nice tank, BTW. Everything looks nice and healthy, and your "rework" is nicely balanced.

What brand of 20G is it, if you don't mind my asking ?
