This design looks like a huge majestic tree in the middle of the forest
I really like the short plants - it provides a nice contrast against the longer grass and rocks at the back right corner. This design won the first prize in the competition This design won the second prize in the competition
This design sort of reminds me of stonehedges. It won the 3rd place in the competition This design did not win, but I love this design for the sheer open swimming places and hiding places that the plants provide.
The platies provide a nice addition to this heavily planted aquarium.
