And its finally done!! This is the 4th aquarium which we have have done for the same client who loves having plants in her tanks.Using a large piece of wood as a focal point we took almost 2 weeks tweeking and making minute changes to the aquarium.Fine sand and some natural river pebbles complete the decor.Some hardy plants were used and will be home to some peaceful tetras.Also the main fish,Angels will be added in a couple of weeks.
As always we would love to know what you think of our "Green" effort

Re: New planted tank!
Good one.
I think, it may look different if you bring the stones at extreme right to middle and leave some empty space at right making it flow to bottom as things start high from your filter which is on extreme left. Also, if one or two stems of Vallisneria could be placed in front of wood as majority of your greens are being hidden behind a bigger brown wood. Try compacting stones to look like rock instead of lying around scattered covering and hindering white space.
In current setup, after a while, tetras may start hiding behind wood and plants and if there is less open space, they would be visible less often.

You have used pebbles cleverly.
