Nice but plants need to fill in before this tank can truly be appreciated.
LOVE the picture of your inspiration, wher was it taken?

I love the idea, all it needs is time.

I think that will look so awesome when that grows in.
Will be watching for new pics.
Great job.

Wow that looks amazingly identical. Very pleasing look too as the front rocks have a slope t it give it a settled look.

those rocks are awesome. very good copy of the original.

Not too sure about the background hairgrass actually... might destroy the concept in the end. How about raise the soil towards the back (especially the 2 back corners) and plant HC there? And hopefully the HC at the back will creep near the top of the rocks... nearer to your inspiration. I think it will further dramatize your valley too.

Nice inspiration photo.
It is good to see what you are trying to do and I think you were able to re-create it very well.
Now to see how it fills in.
I will be watching for updates.

Hi Jervis, thank you for your comment. I'm not so sure too.. the tank was planted yesterday.. that's why the HC is not spreeding along the soil.. But when i planted the eleocharis i thought it would steal depth. But i will give her a chance

to see how she grows, but probably she will have to come off.

This Tank has a great potencial, i hope the HC grow fast and pretty

Regards
