Judges Comments::
Birgit ::	You give us a nice example on how to create an aquascape without the need for reds. It might be a question of personal preferrences, but that tank easily goes without any really red plant in it. The foreground along with the microsorum windelov makes up a good highlight, without tanking any need of golden ratio, because you find that ratio it in the background. Well done.
Jay Luto ::	Great tank. Healthy light foreground with darker green Cryptocoryne species is an excellent combo. Tank needs some minor touches in background and maybe a bit midground to achieve great "darker biotope".
Ghazanfar Ghori ::	The aquascape looks nice, but lacks depth. A littlre more height in the midground would have enhanced the look.
