#1350 Living Rainforest in an Urban Apartment
About This Aquascape
A miniature rainforest created inside an urban apartment, combining lush mosses, tropical plants, natural wood and flowing water. I have tried to keep the ecosystem as natural as possible, without using CO₂ injection or artificial foam in the hardscape, allowing nature to shape the composition over time.
