Is this result for old wood version or new wood one?

Alexander, it's for the old wood version (the first one 😀 ). Don't know if i'm allowed to post it (IAPLC rules, i think).
With this version i competed in a national contest, the Romanian Aquascaping Contest and i've got 3rd place (out of 29) :



I also won the prize for Best aquarium photo submitted :

Thank you.

More pics :



I think i'll add some more branches, to improve the hardscape. I'll keep you guys posted.

Great idea Alex, the wood is somewhat swamped by that huge, lush plant mass 😉.
The foreground is looking a bit thin, could do with thickening up into a dense lawn.
As always great pictures, keep it up

 

[alex08]

Got the wood in place today. New pics soon.
Crossocheilus, you're right, i need to give a little more space for the foreground to get back on track.

 

[Crossocheilus]

Ooh sounds good, I look forward to seeing pics!

I notice your wood is very white, any reason for this?

 

[alex08]

Closer to nature


Crossocheilus, branches are made from cleaned up plum tree roots. I think the short period of lighting keeps them like that. 😀

 

[Crossocheilus]

That's an interesting effect with the whitish wood, like bones. The lack of algae is a tribute to your skill and understanding of planted tanks.
So keep those pics coming 😉
