Judges' Comments
The layout titled Elysium is a small-scale aquascape that is beautifully crafted and exceptionally well-conditioned. The arrangement and placement of the driftwood and rocks are perfectly executed, creating a balanced proportion for a smaller tank. Furthermore, the selection and positioning of the aquatic plants are well-done, successfully bringing to life the serene and beautiful atmosphere of an ideal paradise. It is a highly impressive display of small tank management and artistic layout.

Good use of hardscape and the photography is well done. Many nice details in the aquascape to enjoy. However, I think the condition of the plants can be improved. Good effort.
