Fantastic work. The combination of high tech automation with such high level of artistic design is very impressive. Thanks for posting.

Those are all posted in another Vietnamese forum with close schedule and updated.
The final plan might gone with a combination of plan 1 & plan 2, because he afraid of cultivating Vallisneria nana, it grow to fast (as he has less time for trimming). Some others background stem plant were use instead. Also, there are two views, so plan1 was high priority.

Some close-up shots taken on 1st day:













The reason is, the willow moss, ferns... on driftwood already grow well during 3 weeks in the cultivating tank before they were set-up to the aquascape. HC was tight on a aluminum net and place into the place. Other plants simply were move from cultivating tank here too.

About lighting, do you agree with us that this lighting



is unacceptable !!!!!!!!

At drawing:



After 1 working day, the lighting brand name DIY 5ti's Solar was presented:







5 x 15w T5Fl
Lighting control by programmer for 10hrs/day with schedule for each tube.

The second view look really nice. Your right about the driftwood having a better arrangement from that angle. Beautiful tank.

Very nice.
Wiring for the light could be better, routing inside the tube up the top then come down to light fixture via hanging wire.

What is the Vietnamese forum you post it on, I am Vietnamese too, but not live in Viet Nam right now.

very nice job again. I think it would look cleaner if you did something to hide all of the equipment below the tank all of those hi tech gadgets Co2 and filter draws thew eye away from the tank a clean flush looking stand will make the actual aquascape much more presentable and bring the eye back to where you want it. The Plants!!
