Under The Mangrove

Here's a few pics of my latest aquascape, I thought I'd share. The aquascape is coming to an end soon and the final pics will be taken at the end of this month, so no point in starting a journal.

I think they are a type of Vallis, not positive though

Hey guys, thanks very much for the compliments, the tall plant at the back is cyperus helferi.

Here's a pic and a quick vid of the tank

stunning video, just made my morning Tank looks absolutely amazing. What type of shrimp do you have? They're beautiful to watch, just love it, the whole thing!!

The pics were great but the video is just stunning! Am so jealous, the whole setup looks amazing! I'm really going to rethink my plants from now on and make use of the bogwood in my tank.

Completely inspirational
