Well done all. @FattyFish, somehow managed not to notice this time where this thread was. Never thought of checking in the competitions threads (duh). Often just pither around the 'What's New' bit at the top, and then pother off doing reading on the internet of some of the names I see here!

Thanks to all. I'm glad you liked my tank. It was this look that got me back into tropicals. I had been watching a YouTube video, and this guy had his tank set up with plants growing out of the top, with the roots in the water. I wanted to take it a step further, having the wood also coming out of the top.
P.S I loved the look of the discus tank that was entered
