2019 Runner-up Nano
Scape & photo: Alfa Low · Nature / cube nano
🏆 This scape: 2nd place, 2019 aquascaping competition (event name to confirm)
Alfa’s 2019 competition nano, which placed 2nd. A driftwood branch arches across the top as a canopy over layered, sandstone-like rock. Mosses soften the wood and stone, ferns and Bucephalandra-type plants fill the gaps, and a sand foreground with small stones leads the eye in.
