Featured Aquascape
“Route to Wilderness”
The concept behind this ‘scape was to create a woodland scene with the focal point being a “tree”.
As with most aquascapes the result tends to differ some what from
it’s original concept, this ‘scape was no exception.
As you can see from the photos, this tank has come through quite a
transition in the last two months and it’s still changing.
