Thanks for reading,

That looks very good, nice and simple. The only thing I would comment on is the height of the white substrate. I think a super thin layer would have a bit more zen to it.

Thank you for your comment, i really think so.
Due to small size of tank and the deep of rocks, i cant make it thinner.
 
Very nice :D I also think that the thin layer will look better.
 
Agree with the amount of gravel in the tank, other than that looks great :) It it was slopped from front to back would give a better depth too, but would loose your original plan of Japanese rock garden!
 
Great attempt, want sure in it when it was just hard scape but looks great now Mate well done. :) very tranquil.. These centre peices are becoming more and more popular :)
