Judges Comments::
Birgit ::Oh my god, is that a marine tank. Soooo many colours and shapes. I am speechless. Very original use of Hydrocotyle, nice placement of reds. Very many different leaf-shapes. It is not easy to produce a harmonious looking tank with so many different species, but you´ve shown us that it is possible. Als a great example on how to create depth in a tank.
Jay Luto ::Excellent tank. I was looking for negative elements in this tank to be able to judge. Beautiful example of healthy looking Dutch aquascape. The only thing I would change, is Vallisneria sp. In left front corner and maybe move it to back left corner behind R. Indica.
Ghazanfar Ghori ::Amazing plant growth! You've managed to use a lot of different plant species, each with different demands, successfully - which is an achievement in itself. Not many people can grow that many species together and grow them well, as you have been able to.
