What do you think about this tank?

The idea is very fresh however there are non-aquatic moss and threads.

Fantastic aquascaping. The hardscape and use of perspective are especially well done. I like the use of Bolbitis in the upper branches. I can see the judges possibly marking it down because the plants appear to be recently added, but that is just a guess on my part. Sustainability could be an issue.

That tank looks very realistic...could def see that being a photograph of our natural world.

Beautiful! The branches look like grapevines.

Wow lovely scape. Can I ask what is the lonesome wavy plant the on the right top mid part of the tank that is inbetween the branches?

I've been wanting to know this plant for some time as it gives off a really nice feel.
