I'd leave it like that! Looks very natural, people on here would dream of having a jungle scape like yours :thumbup:

Ditto. Looks amazing.

Please tell me this isn't your first tank and that you've been doing this for a while. :)
 
Looks great! I echo the comments about keeping it overgrown but I suppose that's the look I prefer.
 
I like it bushy, but the moss is really taking over, soon there is no more space.. :)

Also as I need to move the tank it will be rescaped, but thankfully as all plants are on rock or wood it is easy to move it around.

i like the moss mate. Is this the stone you brought back when you were home?


I got these rocks sent to me from the Azores.. they are really nice.. heavy basalt smooth stones.. :)

The tank does look brighter and more open, three long pieces of wood were taken out.. :)

The moss is on aluminium mesh, it will be easy to take them out , sell, or use for another rescape.
 
hey ghoastsword
