Great arrangement! Looking forward to the growth.
 
Really like this tank. Well Done. The colour of the wood, rock and sand all work really well together. What type of rock are you using?? Cheers.
 
This is absolutely stunning, it looks so natural

I'm guessing the rocks on top are just to hold the wood down??

Thanks , yes you guessed right :) .

Hi BBogdan, Nice Scape :)
Thanks man ;)

Great arrangement! Looking forward to the growth.
Thanks , I still have alot to work at it .
I will put some mosses on the branches and stones , I was thinking fissidens fontanus since I have it already and maybe christmas moss. (any suggestions?)

Thank you :) , I'm glad you like it .
I don't know what type of rock they are , some kind of career rock ...is just something i found in my close area and I liked the colour and structure of it.
 
Wow it looks so balanced and natural!
 
Sunday I was bored so I decided to take a clip with my phone , so don't judge too much the quality.

Hope you enjoy watching:

I'm quite intrigued by the position of your CO2 diffusor - behind the lily output. Can't understand how effective such position. And what the reason for you to not place it on the opposite side. Thanks.
 
Hi BBogdan,

Wonderful scape :thumbup: You have my vote ;)

Thanks man ! :)

The big reason is that the suction cups are on the right side and I can do nothing about that , so I don't want the diffuser to stand with his back and with co2 hose at the front glass. It's all about the look , if you understand what I mean. :))
And believe me is so effective under the lily pipe output because this way I can distribute the bubbles all over my tank and so I have a better dissolution of CO2.
