Judges' Comments
Healthy-looking tank. The Vallisneria Nana (1) and the Nymphoides Taiwan (4) make the tank a bit cluttered. The E. Tenellus (2) could be a bit more evenly grouped, for a more peaceful environment. Rotala Rotundifolia (7) could be positioned a little further away from the centre and could be a little lower in that spot. The Lotus in the middle front is too small and has no function yet. No fish at the surface.

This tank accomplishes something that most here do not - exude a calm, restful, and relaxed vibe. There is something so natural and soothing about this. It is still, yet dynamic. Viewed from a strictest Dutch sense, the placement of a bright orange bush in the center is too symmetical to ignore. Otherwise lacks focal point and distinct contrast between groups. It's almost like a traditional community aquarium with Dutch aspirations.
